Hey guys, Rwanda is not a team to put into zambias category. We are far much better…than that small.

Hard lacky and we hope Chansa gets the chance to do his country pride by representing it.

I think Chansa’s days with Chipolopolo are numbe…….ed

Am writing from here in Malawi, and the match between Malawi and Rwanda was interesting. Rwanda played well in the first half and according to the commentator,the team plays fast football with some swift passes, and could split the Malawi defence, but only for poor finishing.That is the major weakness of the Rwandese. I hope FAZ sent an spy to watch the match

Lets not underrate our opponents however much they may be weak.

GB :Lets not underrate our opponents however much they may be weak.

GB. Man i agree with you. Modern football has revolved you underate you opponents at your own peril. Look at Egypt the were predicting a 4 nil walloping for Zambia. These Rwandese have come this far because they have something to offer whiles teams like Angola,South Africa etc dropped off.

too bad for our own gattusso,i hope he will feature in the zambia,algeria crash! lets go Zambia Lets go!

Rwanda are definately coming for a draw and that will make our work difficult.In modern football there are no more underdogs though one might be right by saying there are only big names and small names.At present day Zambia and Rwanda are both small names and this might play a factor

We will be very naive to think the way Rwanda played Malawi is the same way they will play Zambia. During friendlies, coaches try a few experiments that they normally would not in a real game. To even begin to think that we will massacre Rwanda will be a great undoing on our part. They held Algeria and even beat Nigeria in the last Afcon quailfies so they are definitely not a walk over. I think we will get a positive result but lets maintain the hard work and humility that has brought as this far. It does not pay to be arrogant and underate your opponent…just ask Man U.

Am defying ur logic but for the importance of three points @ home and 4-0 for any incidental mathematics. This will be the logic gate…High levels of fitness due to camping >a realisation that too much respect for the oponent can lead to draws or losing=total football from the first whistle, i mean total football iya pressure pa homuuu

No disrespect, total football from th whistle, we can get 4-0. I repeat we will win by a big margine.

Chansa’s injury is a loss, but njovu and kasonde will be a marvel, i cnt w

Rwanda will be coming to make a name for themselves and anyone trying to underate them is doing us more harm than good. Treat Rwanda the way you would treat German. On the other hand, do not overestimate Zambia.
They perfom better when you criticise them, of course positively!

Waiting eagerly 2c wat happens after 90 mins

Justice I agree with you as well, it looks like Chansa’s days r number. He is a great talent,but the fact that he has not played 90mins for Zed in the past 12 months does not bode well for him. I hope people don’t think Rwanda will laydown and let us walk all over them, remember they are men with talent and pride just like us. As some one has pointed out they did not fluke It this far.

GB :Am writing from here in Malawi, and the match between Malawi and Rwanda was interesting.

YOU ARE THE SPY THANKX

IF WE CAN NOT BEAT RWANDA THEN LET US WITHDRAW CHAPWA

ZAMFOOT WHO IS THIS GUY IN THE PICTURE? NA RASTA

Uko ekulanda ba justice, ‘chapwa’! Yaaa…Yama sign- sign umwenso nimfwa Ninshi naufulwa inga kamumfuti. Abasungu abati:enough is enough! Nganilisa ninshi tukapula world cup. Iwe apo?

Kuku pano…

Football is very unpredictable but if we dont aim high playing Rwanda at own turf what more the wounded Egyptians and the Desert foxes. Let us not play with words, we do not just need a win aginst Rwanda but a win with a good scorline becouse our chances of SA 2010 may go down to go difference.

Whether we like it or not Egypt and Algeria will beat Rwanda with huge margins we therefore have no option but to do the same otherwise we may be doomed.

@Justice Kafusha
Thats Isaac Chansa and i dont think hiz days are numbered, look at what has happened to Misheck Lungu who wud have ever thot he wud be called back to feature 4the National team, Isaac may not be playin 4 the national team but he plays 4 his club meanin hiz not bound 2 loose form its jus sad that he picked up a knock otherwise i wud have loved him 2 be available 4 the double header Zambia has this month.

GB :Lets not underrate our opponents however much they may be weak.

I agree, this underating will flow into the players minds as well if us the fans are already talking about it. We should prompt the boys to go into thegame full force, with as much might as if they were playing Brazil. You cannot afrd to underate at this stage of the game.

Justice Kafusha :ZAMFOOT WHO IS THIS GUY IN THE PICTURE? NA RASTA

Thats the hairstyle that Isaac had at the last AFCON.

Councillors when choosing leaders in FAZ should make sure that they choose credible people who have the heart of developing football in Zambia, you cannot have a FAZ president who does not reside in Zambia, no! its unacceptable. When the head of State or myself want to contact him, he is not available. Now how do you run football in this manner?” Chipungu wondered

Am writhing from kigali,You ZAMBIANS should not talk 2much abt winning…90min will tel…do a small research Amavubi s campaign to this stage + previous campaign…ask morocco , nigeria ,ghana ,uganda etc the name GATETEs still in their heads…..those gyz can change everything and remember GATETE and BOKOTA are now available for the game…Yes we lost in Malawi….buts dont expect the same result in Zambia IT WAS JUST DUE 2 small substitutions in the sec half…OUR pros are also joining in LUSAKA…WE re coming for a win my friend….BRAVO AMAVUBI…..

The Fact is we are winning against Rwanda coz we cant afford a lose or draw at this moment;thats our motivation.As for respect,yes,we shall give Rwanda respect coz they are a team also.We do remember that alot of these small unknown teams have caused trouble to us in the past.I remember,CHAD nearly emmbarrased us a few years ago and we DO NOT WANT Rwanda to do the same!.

In the football world countries like Rwanda,Zimbabwe,SA ,Malawi etc are Zambia s colonies .Soccerwise they were colonised by Zambia but I am aware of the damage a colony can do to its Master,remember the French-Senegal game (world cup 2002).

Enough talk lets wait and see.
Viva Zambia Viava!

You young man …RWANDA is not “these small unknown teams”….I feel sorry for ZAMBIA.u will be disppnted…BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAVUBI.

@FIFA
Rwanda are coming for a kick, we will kick them big. ba… I won’t complete

Remembe we have never been soccerwise colonised by Zambia..If u remember ..the last game we played was in 1998….in LUSAKA a friendly game …the result was ZAMBIA 1 RWANDA 2

@David Chiluka

You wait ifye ni forward

campos :Remembe we have never been soccerwise colonised by Zambia..If u remember ..the last game we played was in 1998….in LUSAKA a friendly game …the result was ZAMBIA 1 RWANDA 2

You sleep on that capt. Nkunda

with u proz playing in minor LEAGZ ..and soccer failures like mbesuma…Sorry u will need to bribe the refs….Bravo amavubi…..

Tulandenko,ba fifa when are u going to stop attacking great kalu.i miss i mis i saw kalusha play were are u my brother.as for u CAMPOS we wil give u a repeat of 1994 genocide.Zambia 5 rwanda 0

Ba justice ba mudala wen are u coming back.

U emanuel…Yeah i understand u stand and i know zambia is home to GENOCIDERS…they will kil u 1 day…tHEY ARE THERE BCZ they were defeated….for AMAVUBI….those gyz are in Zambia for a Partiotic MISSION…

Too bad for Gattuso.Justice and Mabbwana I don’t agree with your comments that Isaac is in the evening of his career.Chris,Jacob,Mweene,Kalililo,Mbesuma etc who are the backborne of the current team are Chansa’s group and he is still a top player for his club because if he was bad they could have offloaded him.I think Chansa is still our top player and we should wish that he recovers before we play Algeria.Cheers

Emmanuel :Tulandenko,ba fifa when are u going to stop attacking great kalu.i miss i mis i saw kalusha play were are u my brother.as for u CAMPOS we wil give u a repeat of 1994 genocide.Zambia 5 rwanda 0

Let’s not get too personal.The genocide is not a joking matter.Let’s suport wisely and leave sensitive matters out of the beautiful game.i expect an apology to campos..

Sorry…I WAS PROVOKED…by this GY emanuel..he should as well APOLOGZ.Sure those are sensitive issues….but AMAVUBI are on patriotic Mission….It will be a painful result ZAMBIA 0 RWANDA 1….ALLEZ ALLEZ AMAVUBI

Rwanda is a colony of Zambia.By 1996 Some colonies like SA had even achieved more than their master zambia.1998 the same colony stoped us from getting to France,we got 3 0.

Why can’t we have a logical discussion? Camposs tell with why you think Rwanda will win. At the moment you are not making sense with your blogging. I agree the genocide issue is a very said chapter in history. A lot of people dead and its not a joking matter.

sad chapter, I meant to say.

GOOD…WE have met once in SADC finals and we gave chipolopolo a soccer lesson 2-0…final score…and we never diappoint our President when it comes to serious issues-World Cup/CAN….Sorry for you Zambians ..you are playing with a team full of skills + partiotism

campos :GOOD…WE have met once in SADC finals and we gave chipolopolo a soccer lesson 2-0…final score…and we never diappoint our President when it comes to serious issues-World Cup/CAN….Sorry for you Zambians ..you are playing with a team full of skills + partiotism

That 2-0 was some 11 years ago.You can imagine how much things have changed.Wait for saturday ZAMBIA 4 RWANDA 0

I agree with you Mr Sscoser….BY da we First half was 0-0..we started with our first eleven without OUR 2 proffsionals trading their skills in EURPE…the sec half was played by the sec choice players thts why malawi managed to score 2 goals….U wait en see on SATDE..

Hi zambian brothers when u say Rwanda is aland of genociders its alie Mr kagame is building up anew rwanda full of patriotic rwandese and freinds, so we may not have skiled, european based profesionals like u but expect asurprise.tunisia ounce thought of a 5-0, Uganda thought 6-0,Ghana the same, Nigeria the same, all where humbled by amavubi, move on guys the all nation is beind you.

Ba Emmanuel, i think the 1994 is indeed sensitive, though Campos should be comforted that Rwanda under the able guidance of THE GREAT KAGAME has used that unfortunate event to move the country forward economically as the following article suggests (sorry to disgress from soccer and how i wish other African leaders could emulate instead of being corrupt in the morning, lunch-time and in the night):

BY ANDREW M. MWENDA

On January 18, The Guardian newspaper in the United Kingdom reported that former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, had taken on the role of advisor to the Rwanda government. For a person of Blair’s standing in the world, this is the greatest public relations coup by the Rwandan government.
More critically, it is an endorsement of the leadership of President Paul Kagame. How can a small, poverty stricken country somewhere in Africa, having no minerals and almost of no strategic value in global politics, attract the attention of such an international statesman as Blair? Whenever people of Blair’s standing retire, they join the boards of big corporations.
On January 10, the news media reported that Blair had just been appointed by the world’s leading investment bank, JP Morgan, as senior advisor. Is Rwanda now playing in the same league as JP Morgan? Blair’s appointment follows the general pattern of strategic positioning Rwanda has been doing. The world’s richest man, Bill Gates, has personally been working closely with President Kagame in supporting the health sector in Rwanda. Paul Farmer, a professor of Medical Anthropology at Harvard and possibly the world’s leading authority on public health-care in poor settings has been working closely with Kagame to develop one of the most innovative national health insurance systems in the world.
Last June, I spent an evening with Google founder, Larry Page, after he had returned from a visit to Rwanda and Uganda. He told me how impressed he was by Rwanda and how shocked he was by the disorder in Uganda. In April, Kagame had visited Google headquarters in the Silicon Valley where he had lunch with senior executives including the CEO, Eric Schmidt. Deals were signed, among them Google’s promise to provide Rwanda free web-based software. Former US President, Bill Clinton, has been visiting Rwanda regularly since he left the White House to help build their national healthcare system.
Clinton appointed Kagame to the board of the Clinton Global Initiative, a pioneer institution that aims to turn good intentions into real action and results. That Clinton appointed Kagame speaks volumes about what international leaders think of Rwanda. On Clinton’s board, Kagame sits with the brightest minds in the world and develops the best social networks. Kagame has practically redefined the way African leaders should engage the best of the Western world. African leaders like Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire (now Congo) made powerful friendships in Western capitals.
But they were largely for protecting Mobutu’s presidency rather than help his country resolve its economic conundrums. And it worked; Mobutu ruled Zaire for 32 years, building palaces as his citizens went hungry. President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda seems to have learnt from Mobutu – first in organizing powerful western allies to protect his power, and second in building for himself a multi-million dollar palace. Nothing more! (Draws parallels) Kagame is building international networks for investment in Rwanda. His council of economic advisors shows he is seeking serious and influential advice.
On his council sits Joe Ritchie, a multi-million dollar commodities and options trader in Chicago who was named by BusinessWeek as one of the “sharpest minds in options business”; Michael Porter, a professor at the Harvard Business School, possibly the world’s leading authority on competitive strategy and international competitiveness; Michael J. Roux, the chairman of Roux International, Myinternet, Nexted and Australian Development Bank.
Roux is also Vice Chairman of Citigroup. Also on Kagame’s council of economic advisors is Ford Scott, president and CEO of Alcatel – one of the world’s leading telecommunications companies; Don Kaberuka, the president of the Africa Development Bank, and Clet Nayitegeka, a Rwandan American who is vice president of Glaxo Kline. Someone should read the list of Museveni’s (Who) presidential advisors on the economy to see how great a visionary our man can be.
The difference is that Kagame appoints people who can advise him; Museveni those he can lecture to.Last April, Fortune magazine ran a lead story titled “Why American CEOs Love Rwanda.” Starbucks CEO Jim Donalds was facing a riot from his board, who wanted to fire him. He invited Kagame to the board meeting. In a surprise move, Kagame delivered a corporate endorsement for Donalds when he told the board how the partnership between Rwanda and Starbucks was improving the incomes of poor farmers. The board kept Donald in his job.The strategic alliances between Rwanda/Kagame and some of the leading minds in business – and politics – around the globe are yielding incredible results.
Dubai World has just signed a US$ 230m investment deal in Rwanda. The government of Singapore has been hired to advise Rwanda on how to build a modern city that can serve as the region’s service centre. A Rwandan-Libyan consortium is building a US$ 300m ultra-modern conference centre complete with a five star hotel and an IT park in Kigali. It aims to turn Kigali into the regional IT hub. On The Frontier (OTF) is handling Rwanda’s competitive strategy. The story goes on and on.

BY NITAY ARTENSTEIN (I,ve summarized it)

Queen’s Internet Café, in the impoverished Kigali suburb of Nyamirambo, is teeming with children throughout most of the day. “Most of these kids are street children,” says the owner, Pacifique Bayongwa.”I feel bad about letting them in, since I know they must be paying me with money stolen from their parents. But at least they’re learning something useful”. Establishments like Queen’s are proliferating throughtout the Rwandan capital, and would seem to mark the beginning of an IT transformation for the Rwandan economy.

Paul Kagame has emphasized that his vision for the country is based on the development of IT as a poverty reduction tool through two main thrusts: i) improvement of the circulation of technical knowledge and thus increasing the productivity of agricultural sector, and , ii) for the long term, by creating employment in new , globally competitive IT enterprises. He’s confident that by 2020, Rwanda can be transformed into a knowledge based economy.

• Farmers in the rural areas are able to check on prices than fall prey to selfish middlemen.
• The Kenyan IT Policy (with the most developed infrastructure in the region) has computers imported duty free while computer parts are still taxable, Rwanda has all IT products imported tax removing an obstacle to a computer-assembling industry.
• Director of Rwandan IT Authority (RITA) Nkubito Bakuramutsa, recently left a position with Hewlett Packard to return to the country of his birth, is convinced that the change will be profound.He says once the education revolution is firmly underway all the rest will follow. To enable the population to make use of these technologies, Rwanda puts great emphasis on education. Enrolment for primary and secondary schools has increased to 2 million pupils, from a base of 940,000 at the beginning of the decade, and 40% of the secondary schools now have computer labs. Enrolment for higher education has increased tenfold since the pre-genocide level of 4,000, and is now at more than 40,000, after passing the 10,000 mark in 2000 and doubling again to 20,000 in 2002. While pre-genocide Rwanda had only one institute of higher learning-the Natiional University of Rwanda at Butare-it now has 20 such institutions. Many, such as the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), which is the main training ground for IT-related professionals, have been funded through UN and Donor money. Two-thirds of Rwanda’s higher education institutions are in private hands, thus easing the budgetary strain on the government.
• The premises of Telecom House, where RITA is based, have been planned as the future site of a national IT park which will gather, in one place, all of Rwanda’s IT players, both public and private.
• Best pastime for street kids in Rwanda is surfing the net.

One of the most significant IT projects in Rwanda is the deployment of a fibre optic cable system throughout the countryside in an effort to provide high-bandwidth internet access to impoverished farmers. The network will connect to Uganda and at a later stage to Kenya, Tanzania and Burundi. This system is set to kick off in around 2009, upon the completion of one of the two submarine fibre optic cables projects-known as the Eastern Africa Submarine System (TEAMS) and The Eastern Africa Submarine Cable System (EASSy)-that will land in Mombasa and give East Africa direct access to the worldwide cable network. The cable once complete, will greatly reduce internet costs in the region- particularly in rural areas-where currently there’s exclusive reliance on expensive satellite communications to get a speedy connection.
