  1. The coach made some technical errors on his inclusion of some new players in the squad. Those boys from last tournament were a fluke.

  2. This is the pattern for Micho. Conceding to many goals. How many goes has Zambia conceded ever since Micho took over?

  3. Did Micho take a Zambian woman to use? I just hope Micho won’t be arrested in Cameron for sexaul misconduct this around. Wrong coach for Zambia, find a better.
    Back to football, there is only 2 players in that team; Kampamba and Sikombe, the rest are simply too lazy. Even when walking to the pitch, as if they didn’t eat, so fvcking lazy players, no ambition at all.
    This a chance to sell themselves to scouts.

  4. The problem isnt the coach. The coach has already proved himself elsewhere. Its FAZ. We have no league in Zed because of a lame FAZ who do not know anything about how to run football affairs. May be they were good managers of other things but not football.. The local league is poor with very lackadaisical teams and in the CHAN tournament lack of local quality is clearly exposed because the Europe based players we are always relying upon are absent.

  5. The two goals scored were as a result of goalkeeping mistakes. It always takes about a decade to have a revelation of a goalkeeper. Emmanuel Mwape was at his peak in the late sixties up to 1974, it took ten years for us to discover Efford Chabala in 1984, who was top class goalkeeper until his unexpected demise in 1993. It took ten years again for Mweene to be revelation to the country, in 2004! So we are still looking for the next revelation in goalkeeping department. The ones who are there now don’t have the drive of Emmanuel Mwape, Efford Chabala and Mweene! Mweene was at his peak in 2012, so next revelation is not far, 2022! A good goalkeeper is important for the team to be strong, because he’s the final authority! So Micho still has some work to do!

  6. Yes you know your football Manganga but you have left out two goalkeeper legends who stood out as much as the ones you have mentioned. During and before Emmanuel Mwape there was Happy Malama also from Roan United or is it Kitwe United? Then before them all the first man that claimed the position was Tolomeo Mwansa also known as Juva from Mighty, I think in terms of clean sheets Juva beat them all
