Michk1, I think the focus on this one is preparation for CHAN. Thus the concentration is on players in the domestic league, who are the only ones that qualify to play in the CHAN tournament.

Zamfoot you are like KNOWLEDGE that increases in quantity with usage unlike commodities. Please keep it up. My gut feeling tells me that Ba Seba other than being played off-position balibepako utumyaka! Looking at William Njovu, Kebby, Maunga etc in the middle of the pack, it would be very difficult getting a slot for Ba Seba. My observation has been that Ba Seba is easily distracted by the fans that normally shout unprintables at him at from the several matches have watched him and this has really affected his confidence. But again he deserves a second chance though a tall order.

Thanks for the captions Zamfoot. Always good to match faces with names. Looking at Davy Kaumbwa (4th picture) standing at “attention” reminds me of the Kaunda days. He is a true soldier to the core.

Thanks for the info Mabbwana and Zamfoot on Sebastian. I wish these players would be played in the natural positions so the teams and the nation could get the best out of them. But I guess, the coaches have to do what they think is best for their teams. Watching him at the youth World Cup a couple of years ago, he seemed so commanding and in control in the middle of the park.

If KCM have withdrawn funding for the coaches, they’ll, sadly, be living up to an old adage: “Indian Giving.”
Let Wikipedia explain:

“Indian giver (or Indian gift) is a North American English expression used to describe a person who gives something and later wants it back, or something equivalent in return.

The term “Indian gift” was first referenced in 1765 by Thomas Hutchinson,[1] and “Indian giver” was first cited in John Russell Bartlett’s Dictionary of Americanisms (1860)[2] as “Indian giver. When an Indian gives any thing, he expects to receive an equivalent, or to have his gift returned.”

The phrase is considered a racial stereotype and is often offensive, as it implies that Native Americans commonly practiced this behavior.”
