  1. It’s now 7 pm here in London and they are showing some highlights of previous games and interviews with some players. The stadium looks superb. 20 mins before kick off. It’s going to be a great match.

    • Posted on Dee, I want your dog so badly I am tempted to sneak in and do soinhtmeg felonious. What IS he? Where can I GET one? I want one JUST LIKE THAT ONE, crap and all. And that’s love, my friend.

  2. Lelo ni lelo! It’s gonna be a Sunday, bloody Sunday… no point in many words… I shall return after 90 minutes… Iyeeee!!! Chipolopolo!!!

  3. How wonderful this is coming to an end
    The loss of production that these people who have not worked, the loss of lives, the loss sleeps, the loss of respect that this tournament has brought on this site is appalling
    What of some of us who do not like football and hate it with a passion?
    This is ridiculous I cant wait for this to be over
    Thanks

    • Hi Mark,Thank you very much for your kind offer, I had heard Smartpen.com.au offered great seicvre and it looks like the rumours were spot-on. =)I do live within Australia so I’ll be sure to get in contact with you soon.Thanks again.

  4. Not bad first half – congrats boys. But we need some sparks in the first ten minutes of the second half to seal this one. If nothing happens then, we will probably get into penalties.

  5. We’re doing fine so far. The Ivorians are not as dangerous as I thought they would be. If they don’t come up with a different strategy in the 2nd half, I can safely say we shall do this!

  6. mamadou gaye says,,,”,the kids know how to run but wont know how to hide…”,….wane we r in trouble,,,,!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Drogda is full of drama, late reactions and playing on public sympathy. He will need more than that to keep our boys from winning

  8. Drogba missed a penalty! The Forces are still with us, Zambia! Felix Katongo comes in for Nyambe, who caused the penalty and saw a yellow card.

  9. Dlogda misses a penalty. If we do not win this one, I don’t know.

    The great Pele in attendance.

    Also saw KK. Guy Scott and better half

  10. Extra time. Zambia definately playing more stronger and more determined than Ivory Coast. Lord, please give us only one goal!!!!

  11. Didier Drogba and all the stars from ivory coast will now know who zambia is,,,,even if we loose now the boys and the whole nation should be proud,,,this is no easy task to go 90 min and hold youre own against players who are paid millions and extre,ly ultra fit and talented and play in the best of leagues,,,,,from this i say a team is made of not stars but tam work and team spirit,,,GO ZAMBIA GO ZAMBIA,,,!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. So it’s penalties to decide the Champions now. If it was Chess, both teams would have been declared winners by Remis. But since it’s football, only heaven knows…

  13. Good job, Chipolopolo! Celebrate safely everyone, it’s great that Zambia won, but that’s no reason to put others’ or your own lives in danger. Ah, I wish I was there right now!

  14. I am shocked at the result. Shocking result. Congratulations to zambia. However government must start spending on other projects as well not just football. Celebrate well and dont waste money. pay the farmers also

  15. Hey bubba! Why are you focusing your camera on Ivory coast players. Get over it; they lost. Focus you lens on the CHAMPIONS! Hello somebody!

  16. Herve Renard should be given freedom of the country…

    all players must be each given a piece of land of 50,000 usd each,,,

  17. Thank you God Almighty. You have been merciful to us. Boys!!! Job well done. Your best days are ahead of you. Next get the World CUP. YOU HAVE made us proud. HARD WORK ALWAYS PAYS OFF.

  18. Zambian soccer history has indeed been rewritten. Congrats chipolopolo boys for the job wonderful done. Congratulations to Zambia. That was the siprit we expected.

  19. AMEN! Prayers answered. Tribute to lost ones. Check. Zambia new champion. Check. Time to savour the moment and bring the dream home. Well done gentlemen!

  20. Thank you Zambia. We have used the souls of the 1993 Gabon disaster to win this trophy. Lets also be seen to help their families from the proceeds. So the South African sangoma was right. God bless Zambia.

  21. Zambiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————————————————!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. The remarkable truimph of the underdog. Next stop WORLD CUP where you are even bigger undergods, sorry underdogs. This journey is just beginning, so strap you seat belts on. Congratulations again and again Chipolopolo.

  23. Chipolopolo you make us proud! I even got the soccer proud & loving Brazilians behind us! Never say die! Brazil 2014, here we come.

  24. Thank God its finally over. It was not easy but it was worth it. We have killed the elephants and now we can walk with our heads up!!!!!!!!

  25. God’s timing is absolutely perfect. A match that has moved me like no other, but finally it ends in tears of joy rather than heart break. It was written… so I knew throughout the penalties it was God’s will for us to triumph. Amen!

  26. Very, very fitting victory. It was our destiny! Best tribute to our heroes of 1993. We deserved to win. Congratulations Chipolopolo!

  27. This week God has blessed his children mwe.

    1) Zambia has sailed passed every obstacles even penalties could not hold us back. MWEENE the Legend.

    2) A young Christian Asian American by the name of Jeremy Lin has taken over the NBA. He was also an underdog a Havard graduate; from the D-league like SA football league. Not premier like drogba and toure brothers. Believe in Jesus brethren. NINE CHALE CHIPOLOPOLO IYEEEEE.

    3) it’s better to mourn than celebrate or laugh, yesterday the VOICE Whitney Houston was taken by God to finally rest in eternal peace.

    Jesus almighty thanks our father and God.

  28. Zambia is Fire! Mulilo, Moto iweee!!! Alaaaa! Africa’s best… I still have water in my eyes. Can’t get no sleep. I knew the Forces were with us from the first minute of the game.
    The Elephants crumbled under their own weight and stardom while our boys fought and rose to the occasion! Did you see what Chisamba Lungu did when he converted the penalty? He made a sign beckoning that the Ivorian goalkeeper had a sheet covering his face… that’s what Ivory Coast went through today, they were blurred.
    Next stop is the World Cup in Brazil and we’re just getting warm… the sky is the limit!!!

    Goodnight fellow countrymen & women. I love Zambia.

  29. Zambia is the real Phoenix. In Gabon we died and its there that we arose from the ashes. The same cause to our death has now been vindicated. Our mission has been fulfilled. May all the praises be the Lord our God Almighty for leading the way. Am more than happy to be a Zedian. Long Live to the lads and all Zambians.

  30. TB Joshua predicted penalty miss and said tnat God wanted us to rejoice, so tears will be wiped out in a country where we wept. He said it was a blessing given to us by God. So bane rejoice

  31. JEHOVAH you are wonderful councilor, comforter and master. Thank you for the victory.Praise the Lord..! Well done Zambia national team,tears may flow in the night but joy comes in the morning. Thank you Lord.LAK.

  32. On behalf of Sata, I declare Monday 13th February a public holiday, even in Southern province where it will be for two days so that the chiefs can drink more SEVEN DAYS.

  33. At Ladyb.
    R u sure?I did not know that-possible though. I know man of God TBJ God is with him.
    Good news if so.LAK.

  34. We trusted in god, and not fame, we were called underdogs. It seems the world is not listening, it is time for the so called ‘underdogs’ either in politics, and in the social world to excel. Lessons do not seem to be sinking fast. Our team played excellent football, and may the spirit of unity that they displayed be the spirit that will embrace mother Zambia for generations to come. Great tribute goes to the maturity of our leaders, who united behind our team. We shall continue to be an exemplary country in Africa, due to our humility and resilience. May God continue to bless our team and mother Zambia. In him we trust!

  35. HOW CAN U WRITE SUCH?? IF YOU ARE NOT ZAMBIAN PLEASE DON’T WRITE ANY THING BECAUSE TRUE ZAMBIANS WERE CRYING THRU OUT THE MATCH PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE WE WON AND NEED TO MOURN OUR DIED BOYS. OUR YOUNG BROS YOU DID IT FOR ALL ZAMBIANS WE LOVE YOU AND WILL ALWAYS DO
