FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya has described Saturday’s friendly against Norway at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola as crucial.
Zambia arrive back home hoping to finally get a win under their belt after a four-match winless streak in their pre-2013 Africa Cup build-ups in which they have recorded just a draw.
“The Norway game is one of the three which is Angola and Morocco that we thought very important so for us this is a chance for our boys to end the preparation in style,” Kalusha said at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe airport in Ndola on Friday.
Zambia lost 2-0 to Angola on January 5 and later drew 0-0 with Morocco on January 8 at Dobsonville and Rand Stadium respectively in Johannesburg.
“I do not know when we last played a European team here so this is a celebration and a chance to show the African hospitality,” Kalusha said.
Zambia’s last official match against a European opponent was the forgettable 9-0 thumping they suffered in a friendly at the hands of Belgium on June 3, 1994.
Norway meanwhile, are the first European national team to visit Zambia.
If only we can win a European Team,then we have put shivers in opponents legs at the Afcon.
Nichizungu chabwanji naimwe ba FK? Muchaya direct translation ati ngati tingabawine bazungu….lol.
Iwe chikamba,,stupid blogger indeed. i dont think its ryt to laugh at someone wrytn incorrect English. English is not our Native language. Civilised Zambians wud only laugh at zambian native( whether he/she stays in UK, China or SA) who cannot speak any zambian language. U r the same pipo who nomally tell kids,”u mst have English manners” or saying, “my son cant speak Nyanja or Bemba, he only speaks Enlish.” I think wikala kumushi kolokombwa, i mst not blame too.
Stick to the Topic: “Copper Bullets Vs Norway, a crucial match.” says Kalu. We rallying bhind our boys. chi…..iyeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a laugh
Zambia 2- Norway thats it Chipolopolo iyeee, ifipondo.
I meant Zambia 2-0 Norway whassup with this keyboard!
Ba Fresh naimwe, ati keyboard-keyboard.
– Bad carpenter blames his tools.
– Drunkard husband blames his wife for not getting pregnant
– Uwawa tabula kabepesho
And if Zambia wins tomorrow against Norway, blame Kalusha.
“Its not weather you win or lose, its how you place the blame”.
Ba SA Point naimwe muzilemekezeko, why do you have to insult me? Any way that just shows the calibre of person that you are. I do not need to tell you where I am, or where I leave but am a proud Zambian who is able to make comments on online media like LT in a Zambian language without being apologetic. If you must know am doing postgraduate studies overseas, but I will not call you names because that is not my type.
Actually you were correct in pointing out someone’s incorrect English.The standards of writing in Zambia have gone really down.It’s an embarrassment. Really.
dull people owez insult things they don`t understand
Kekekeke dull like yourself, why insult people you don’t understand
Mwilatukana mwebana.Mulelwafye .
Chipolopolo u should just go and defend yo title, it took u so many yrs to win this title until last yr, so guys this is time to cover all those yrs u failed, so guy go and attack, attack,and attack,go chipolopolo copper bullet THE BULLET THAT NEVER GO WRONG
I hope & condemn that Zambian people & players will not embarrass the human race again by:
– By doing that SHhhhhhhh!! of PF again
-The Mumbwa-mumbwa dance of Katongo lead.
– Singing hosanna-bayawe when shouting penalties (very ungentlemanly)
– Fighting like they did to Moroccans. Norwegians are good people, elo basungu pure.
Look at this African mentality:
“I do not know when we last played a European team here so this is a celebration and a chance to show the African hospitality,” Kalusha said.
What your Great King Kalu is embarrassed of stating is that this friendly is crucial because Norway is ranked 24th on the FIFA Ranking Table we are ranked 41st hence it is in our interests to win to obtain healthy points….He won’t mention the Ranking table because he has ignorantly stated in the past that he does not follow it to duped the gullible fans by organising matches with small teams.
Iyi ni cut-up, Champions only for one year! The idea is that we’re not the ones to play the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil! Zambians utulo!
Already in the Replica Jersey In the USA! Thanks to my Love for sending the Jersey! I know if I was home, this time would have been on the Road as a Couple to Copala Swag Province. Woo can’t wait to watch the Game! Win or not, am still Proud Zambian wearing my Zambian Colors with Pride.
Go chipolopolo go!! will support u till the last breath!!
Tiyeni boyz tufwiletwabalanga ati ichi ichikombe chesufye WE Zambias demand nothing less than that.
Recently, I didn’t give lots of consideration to leaving suggestions on blog webpage posts and also have positioned feedback even a lot much less.
