Zambia’s nineteen year winless run against Egypt continued on Sunday when they lost away in a friendly to The Pharaohs in Dubai.
The record-seven time African champions crushed Zambia 3-0 on Sunday night.
Ahmed Hassan scored a brace with goals in the 5th and 48th minutes before Amr Gamal added the final goal in stoppage time.
Zambia have now lost seven out of their last eight meetings with one draw since beating Egypt 3-1 in the 1996 Africa Cup quarterfinals in South Africa.
THIS IS THE CURSE OF JONES CHILENGI. IN 1985 THE DECESION WAS MADE TO DROP ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC DEFENDERS ZAMBIA EVER FEATURED IN THE NATIONAL TEAM. THE EGYPTIANS WERE AMONG SOME OF OUR ARCH RIVALS AT THE TIME. WHEN WORD GOT TO THE EGYPTIANS THAT WE HAD DROPPED JONES CHILENGI THEY WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIER COACH DURING TRAINING MENTIONED THE FACT THAT JONES CHILENGI HAD BEEN DROPPED BECAUSE OF A SINGLE MISTAKE. THE EGYPTIANS VOWED THAT IT WILL ALWAYS BE THEIR GOAL TO PUNISH ZAMBIA AND SINCE THEN WE HAVE ONLY BEATEN EGYPT A HANDFUL OF TIMES. UNTIL CHILENGI FORGIVES FAZ ZAMBIA WILL ALWAYS HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN WE PLAY EGYPT. THE JONES CHILENGI CURSE!!!!
The results we are getting are a true reflection of the state of affairs in our football – both from the perspective of poor management of FAZ and a general lack of talent or the ability to scout it. But we really need to get rid of dead wood in order to discover those prolific those rural boys who are playing in dirty grounds. Mweene has passed his sell-by date and we still don’t have his obvious replacement. So why do we continue getting shocked at the results that befit our input? Anything short of the Baptism that Egypt has meted out on us would be a miracle coz we would not have prepared for it! Now, let’s learn from this and make amends…
“… But has CHILENGI ever scored a penalty?” – Dennis Liwewe in a crucial Eas and Central Senior Challenge Cup match…
Zambia tried their best. You can’t win with only 1 defender Stophila, 1 midfielder Chisamba and 1 striker Mbesuma. No goalkeeper.
What balderdash!
Is JONES Chilengi still alive to forgive FAZ?
More Superstition, ati “Jones Chiengi Curse”, Ati Pastor turns into a snake, Ati Pray & the economy will miraculously recover, rather than focus on dishonest corrupt officials stealing from Government coffers.
With thinking like this, & wrong choices based on more superstition, ZAMBIA WILL NEVER RECOVER!!!
no pastor turned into a snake, why do believe a lie, Zambia will recover
Zambia is going NOWHERE…surely when I tell you to get proper administrators not thieves who support a sly old man like Blatter…you think its an insult. I’m told Mweene hardly plays for his RSA club and is always on the bench but he gets a call-up how unfair is that to others.
Jay jay who ever told you that Mweene hardly plays doesn’t watch ABSA PL he plays but he is not what he used to be. He is still no.1 for the chloorkop boys though this time chipunda busy giving instructions while letting in goals.
LOL! ZEN WHY DO WE HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM WITH EGYPT? WE HAVE TAMED EVERYONE ELSE BUT EGYPT. UNTIL WE GET OVER THE JONES CHILENGI CURSE ZAMBIA WILL ALWAYS BE A CUSTOMER TO EGYPT. “MPAKA BA JONES BAKA TILEKELELE!!!!!” Lol
What nonsense!
What a stupid superstition!
So nonsensical you could puke. Don’t Zambians believe in their efforts? No they believe in national prayers national superstition national witchcraft. They just can’t focus on themselves but on supernatural and superstitions
why are you passive? why are you scared of prayers? well will pray anyway, demons are scared of the prayer.
supernatural is what we need? God Help us!!!!!!, Devils are cracking, break very chain Lord Jesus!
Zambia is only reach in negative things; high poverty levels, high mealie meal prices and so on an so forth. The president wants to corrupt chiefs?
kwacha free fall you are in poverty beacuse you are lazy, what have you done today to change your life, i am knocking off now after making some dollars, you are lazy, always negative. no president will bring you food and put it in your mouth. wake up you lazy chap. at school your were lazy.
@WHY ARE WE SO….THE EGYPTIANS BELIEVE THIS AND THAT IS WHY THEY CONTINUE TO PUNISH US. Lol WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE CHILENGI CURSE! WE NEED TO NAME ONE OF THE GATES AT HEROS STADIUM THE “THE JONES CHILENGI GATE!” THEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO BEAT EGYPT ON A REGULAR BASIS AGAIN. KEKEKEKEKEKE!!!!!!!
Chicken George exposed. This is not Kenya. This is not Guinea. Once you go past those small little teams by some fluke this is the kind of opposition you will be facing. Start looking for a real coach
Comment: jay jay, even when we won afcon, you never said thank to great Kalu. Food will never brought at your door steeps, just work hard otherwise you will die like that. Mind you, you are not a role model.
Good learning curves. Kennedy Chipunda Mweene is a good guy, but we need to discover a younger keeper
