Here we go!!!! SA 2010
Zambia all the way!!!!!!
Go zambia go cant wait for kickoff
The valid link that is working on net for me to watch the match on net. Help me please gents!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much bro. Monk Police…any more details about the monk ploice is that someone i know from great east road?
Good luck mother zambia
For the love of the game…we shall continue to support the nation til the end. If fact, even in defeat we shall support the boys.Lets wait and see what happens in the next 100minutes
Thanks Monk P!
Good luck boy! It is time for you to shine.
Its better to have a relatively packed stadium and secure the lives of soccer fans than have a full to capacity stadium that risks the luves of soccer fans…what do think Mabbwana?
@Seen from afar
@StanKabs
You are welcome gents, no Stankabs, it must be another one.
Enjoy the game
the formalities have began!
Bloody hell I am so nervous never a good sign
ready, let’s go chaps, corner Zed.
Thanks Gents, lets see how it goes…90minutes only
corner goes long, shot charged down by Algeria.
disappointed with MyAfricanfootball quality
Zambia holding well – going forward, Algeria defending well.
zambia is playing long balls why???
I agree…too bad.
Keep the pressure up boys! We have to make the keeper work. Where is Chris?
Kalaba free kick cross cleared in the box, zambia pressing…
hey guyz. any working site we can watch the game from? thanks in advance.
vetaran Musonda does a beauty…Jacob also misses by an inch
chola, see Monk P link?

myafricanfootball.com is working; you can try myP2P.com and search for the game.
Algeria has scored
goal for algeria
yaba..1-0 Algeria
lack of concentration. time to let fly.
Come on boys, against the run of play..
we are down 1 goal. We need to be more aggressive in attack
zambia is dominating but algeria is far more dangerous when attacking
this is a problem if algeria has scored we are in serious trouble!!!!
Kalaba…wastes a chance
ice play once again but the strike…. 15m too high..!
But how is the game generally? any hope of responding quickly to the goal?
yes till now singuluma has been useless
We are in big trouble and no sign of improvement,what can herve do?
I told u that its only Mbesuma who can destroy these Arabs up front-the strikers you have in the team nibakawayawaya. Everyone will agree with me that Mbesuma is much a better player than Singuluma who is completely lost in this match. Zambia 0 Algeria 1.
what a miss by singuluma!!!! alone on a corner kick
Singuluma..! Come on..! That was supposed to be a goal
hi
I think we have hope and can do the job before 1st half
zambia is putting some pressure but no real danger for algeria yet..
thta was supposed to be a goal again!! singuluma again
Singuluma again…come on boys..!
let the Boy keep on pressing before 1st half sounds like we have chances just need sombdy to slot in the net
33 minutes gone. Zambia slowly focusing, still possible, we need to get the shots off.
a strike at 10m from the goalkeeper…unlike algeria wo seems able to score on any counter attack
Singuluma missed again that should have been a goal
we need Mayuka!!
Wow Singuluma…I am your proponent and you are disappointing me man…you have to take those chances!!!
i agree people have been too harsh with mbesuma…people are just too arrogant mbesuma is a human being guys he is human he can make mistakes he wont score 40 goals every season..think of all the things he has done for zambia if we fail to score today we may have missed the services of one zambia’s most proven goal scorers in the starting line up period…
Zambia needs to test this keeper.
maybe fwayo could be the man..and he plays in Maghreb so he knows how to play them
Cholola, what do people want? You were crying for Given now you are saying Mbesuma, the guy you said is useless. If they come back then it will show how good we are, if not then we are not good.
Singuluma seem to be missing a lot of chances May be Mayuka should come on?
@cholola
it’s not going to happen. but we need make sure we use our chances to the full!
Algeria playing acting…
help me guys how does one then watch the match on my tv do I need to register?
We should watch out for those set pieces thats how algeria scored the last time
are the boys promising
Felix shoots from outside, he has the right idea, collected by the keeper.
nice strike from kalaba.but no real danger for the goalkeeper
Our strike force is blunt we need to make use of our chances
too many strikes from far away and going nowhere except in chililabombwe’s sky
Guys,why are we resorting to long distance shots????
A goal now to level coz, 2nd part will be more difficult
we need it now go Boys, am in some bush on net in Angola following your comments zambians
we need to shoot quicker shoots, the boys are getting the box, but can’t shoot quick enough.
ka update guys, we need to win this one, keep them comming
We have good possession and controlling much of the game but in the end we need goals to go with that possession 60-40 for zambia
Zambia is so polours at the back while the Algerias are solid and organised. We have to be careful because if we allow in another go now the match will be out of reach. These Arabs are so good at time wasting-they will falling all over over to kill time. By the time u realise it,its game over. Lets the Referee won’t tolerant time wasting
big foul from chris who injuried an algerian player.
chipolopolo play well but are too naive, first on the algerian goal and then on all the misses in front of the goalkeeper
is it half time guys
This is a good chance…
that could have been a goal bby kalaba on a free kick ut nioce save from the goalkeeper
Half-time. Zambia 0 Algeria 1
half time
@gb
try the link from Monk P, make sure have a recent Flash player plugin for you browser.
How are we looking guyz, are we safe
guys i really hope we score without mbesuma..i’ve noticed we have struggled at home we have always failed to score more than one goal
yaba nadwala manje we have to get back quickly because algeria will start ma delaying tactics come on zed we are depending on you to do a come back
guys let us not lose hope,we are going to equalise frm the way the guys are playing.And once we equalise that will be their end of life
I’m still thinking back to the 2 great chances Singuluma had. For sure Mbesuma would’ve buried that drive…straight to the keeper it was. I wish Jacob was on the end of that free header too. Singuluma is not in form today, so I think he needs to be replaced at half time.
The Algerians have good ball control, but Zambia is more inventive. Too bad we conceded a soft goal. I can see us scoring 1 and then piling on the pressure for a 2nd. But the first goal has to come early on.
We are playing well, but we just can’t connect in the attack. I haven’t seen the stats but I’m sure we have at least 65% posession. If we keep playing like this we should see a goal soon.
I like the way HR makes subs, lets see what he will do.
I feel we can create enough to actually win this. Kalaba is doing well with his incinsive passing. Feligoal needs to get more into the game and dear oh dear what acouple of chances provided to Given. Clear header and he heads wide and then clear chance at goal ad he hits it right into the goalie. Muzo is doing good keeping BelHadji at bay and also bombing forward-He created a couple of good crosses. The difficulty now is that Algeria are camped in their area and attacking on their counter which could be dangerous given their pace. We really need to score in the first 10 minutes of the second half
I think that goal is Mweene is fault. He should not have left the line. Any way, for any goal to be scored someone must make a mistake, in this case its Kennedy of all people. Lets wait and see.
Mbola got angry and went on a run at the end of the half there.
We have their number and Algeria are frazilled, because they are being dominated. The score says otherwise though, Algeria can jump and be dangerous, we need take quick shoots, we are getting good positions…
Its not about friendlies. Our players can’t score. I am hoping to see Mayuka, Fwayo, these boys used to score.
what has happened to myafricanfootball link. I have paid them for this match and yet the match is not showing and iam forced to watch the match on another link in Arabic commentries. Any web link with English commentries showing this match please?
The midfilders and defenders are execellent ..only the blunt striking force, Jacob is trying and receiving more attention from Algerian defenders but Chris and Singuluma are completely lost
We shall triamph Gentlemen let us not lose hope. Vavaaaaaaaaaa Zambia!!
We are dominating these chaps but have fallen behind to a poor goal.
Zaini chipped in that ball from a distance of about 35m to the left side of the 18 box. The ball we touched very slightly on the way through and our defence was caught moving out to deploy an offside trap. Unfortunately we left an Algrian unmarked on the 6 yard line and he headed in past Mweene.
I think that we will score, but whether we will get to I’m not sure. Given should have had two goals by now but missed an easy header at the back post and shot hard straight at the keeper when put through by a fantastic Muzo throughball.
Have to say that Felix is the one pulling all the strings from mid with Kalaba supporting.
After a very lively start Jacob has gone off the boil slightly, but his size is still worrying them.
Chris, not much to report really. One grass cutter shot that was well off target. I don’t really know what position he is playing.
Mr Reliable has been good in defence, but his distribution has been terrible at times and he has been caught on the ball on a couple of occasions.
Muzo, FANTASTIC! I am his number 1 critic, but he is doing really well this game and provided a good run and low cross from the right that was just asking for someone to smash it in. He has also been solid in defence and has kept Belhadj at home.
Mbola, solid at the back and always willing to run forward. Can’t beleive the boy is 16!! He has provided width on the left and supported the attack. Won a freekick that Kalaba did well with right at the end of the half.
Nyambe and Dennis are both doing well. They are comfortable on the ball and every move starts with them. I don’t know which of them was at fault for the goal, but one of them should have cleared the ball in.
Mweene, solid. Some good catches from crosses. Apart from that nothing to do.
I am sure, HR will make tactic moves. Gentlemen, if we are a great team, we have to come from behind and win. That football good teams are the ones who recover. I have lost my predication, I had said Zambia 3-Algeria 1.
shani ko kalink guyz please
Its now second half…another 45 minutes of fever and shaking. In the past, it wasnt like this….the question was not whether or not we shall score at home it was by what magine…and now we are losing…
we can still make it, wise substitute will do for us. Mayukwa is the man
Guys God is Zambian Tule Bwela, 2-1 or 3-1 Herve faith!
guys lets just keep up the morale in the game because that’s the important thing its not over till the final wistle blows i hope in zed the fans are not looking like they are at a funeral coz this is not even motivational to the players ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION
second half starts. your so called fox should act fast and bring Fwayo and Mayuka to replace Kasonde and Singuluma who are ineffective.
FWAYO HAS BROUGHT SOME LIFE INTO THE GAME
Fwayo looking good. plenty of energy.
This game is very winable we just need to make use of our chances
Zambia seem to be attacking well but i feel we still need a snaper like Mbesuma in front of goal
second half begins well but once agian some lack of concentration results in missed occasions, like this pass from chris going in the goalkeeper’s hands.
great opportuity after a foul on mbola
A chance for Zambia but wasted
we’re wasting chances..!!!
Algeria nearly scored another one but it went higher up
@Leteni mbesuma as of now is not on the squad so….ets just support who is there
Another set piece in dangerous area goodness!!
we are Finished
Another opportunity..come on guys…
we are finnished
Oh no Jacob!!!
what a miss
OH JACOB…
wHAT A CHANCE-Mulenga has failed to do justice
any link that u can help with gents
the possession rate means nothing if we can’t create scoring situation. away, the north africans are know to defend well with swift counter attacks.
what a miss by jacob!!!!! its was harder to miss it than scoring…..
Going by what some people have reported, it seems we can get back into the game, only if Renard can make two early substitutions upfront. Not sure what position Chris is playing but needs to come at 10, OR just behind the two main strikers.
Go Zambia!!!!
what a miss by jacob!!!!! its was harder to miss it than scoring…..
technically chipolopolo are below.it should have been at least 3 goals
why arent they concentrated??
Our biggest let down so far is the strike force, we need someone to rise to the occasion.
It looks like we are missing many chances, are we ever going to score
How ia the game so far
Why all the long balls…build from the midfield please.
This Kasonde chap is making alot of mistakes-why is he not taking him out. 25 minutes to go!
WOW IF THIS IS THE SAME NEGATIVITY THE PERSISTS IN THE “FANS” MU GROUND THEN I CAN SEE WHY THE BOYS CAN’T SCORE
2-0 Algeria Counter
oh man…another chance..! and its now 2-0..
Wow…2-0 to Algeria!
whatys this play.?..you cant hope anything when missing all those occasions to score, alone in front of the goalkeeper, and take such goals…
0-2. We are dead and burried. Gentlemen you have no team no defence!
Algeria is just good then. Forget about World Cup.
we hav lost!!!!!!!!!1
come on guys..!
anonymous may be you are not watching the game cause if you did you would have seen at least 6 or 7 great occasions for zambia against only 2 or 3 for algeria, and the score is… 0-2, so yes theres a problem somewhere
I feel like i’m watching ManU v Arsernal all over again. Two away goals. this is not good even if we draw.
Felix..why..?
Eish guys, i want to see an arm swing, fkae shoot. what happened to that move. quick shots not snatched shots.
chamz algeria are not that good it’s just that Zed can’t score
come on, one goal could change the whole game, theres still time!
We are dead and buried indeed. Forget world cup and careful, we may not even go to the Africa cup, tricky situation. I do not see ourselves winning Rwanda and Algeria at their home.
Ba zedi, how are we doing, we are running out of time
Mayuka for Chris
chris replaced by mayuka. one goal now or never!
We are playing well, just can’t connect…20 minutes to go..
TJ, they have scored two goals away and you say they are not good? Ha! ha!. They will hammer us in Blid again.
Our finishing has definately been a let down. We need strikers
Entertaining first half. When is the next match?
I AM WATCHING THE GAME BUT I THINK ZAMBIA HAS THE WORST “FANS” WE SHOULD IMPROVE WE ALREADY PREDICT DOOM WHEN OTHER FANS HOLD ON TO THE END PSYCOLOGICALY IT DOES NOT HELP THE GAME
what is the time and score please
why are they making passses and shooting as strong as they can??
I think we shod just forget about worldcup, first of all we had useless preparations, we will always be under achievers. How can we lose 2nil on our home ground. Thats rediculous!!!!!!!!!!
Every game is different it does not necessary mean we will lose in Bilda
we are dead…who has the armband now that chris out???
Time wasting tactics typical arab football.
we just have to win all our games from now on…get all 9 points..
KENYA 1 MOZAMBIQUE 0
I have even given up hope
I must agree though that 2-0 as it stands at home is a bit much. But I am a die hard fan. So go Zambia!! to death.
Our mid field should be told 2 feed ther friends with good balls not wat the femous kalaba does i dont lik it the chaps are sometimes selfish. Our game is died bcoz of 2much prezs 4a few individual wen ther doing nothing . We can make 3 or more changes its nothing an less the boy are tought 2 play as a team w’ll not go any where
We have been beaten hands down. The game plan is not working for Zambia
Listen, you can’t lose at home and expect to qualify. I thought this was our year. Algeria are favourites, what ever you guys say, football is about scoring.
typical arabs tactics-they will kill this match by just faling all over as they are doing now
can’t believe this
May be we should just focus on African cup of nations as Renard has said
Another chance goes begging Mayuka, high up into the sky much like most of our shots on goal
another big miss…its only the 10th…
one team has been solid and very realist, scoring on the few chances she had, while the other one has missed so many opportunities to score to hope something and hasnt been concentrated the whole game
Some of you guys, I don’t know what game you’re watching. We’re completely outplaying Algeria, we just haven’t managed to finish. Oh Kalaba!
Another near miss Zambia!! what!
another great chance!!!!!!!!!!!
How is it looking gents
Like I said this game was winnable but our strike force does not have it. Go Zambia!! Nonetheless.
Guys, I admit, Algeria is a good team, winning away. Egpty will beat Zambia too, we won’t win in Kigali.
How amny minutes left, can we make a come back
Its looking bad, but we are playing well.
ITS JUST AS WELL THAT AM NOT WATCHING THIS USELESS MATCH. THE WRTING WAS ON THE WALL WHEN WE STRUGGLED AGAINST RWANDA
8 minutes normal time left, but probably 5 minutes of injury time.
Dominating play by can’t score.
how much time left?
Guys we have played really well but have failed miserably infront of goal. Let’s keep going we should get at least 1.
8 MINS WE ARE PLAYING WELL WITHOUT A GOAL, WE NEED TO SCORE. I SAID IT IN ONE OF MY POSTING THAT ALGERIA ARE WELL ORGANISED THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE LOST IT ALL, THEY DID THEIR RESEARCH.
i hear that whisper, be positive guys!
big leason today.
Best shot on the day saved by Algerian keeper
Whisper, Zambia has always played well, even the 5-1 beating by Etoo and company, zambia was playing well. Stop this crap, what counts is the goals and that is what Algeria have done, 3 past Egpyt and two past Zambia.
2 and a half to go in regulation time
can u believe algerian hav only had to shots on goal
zambia ma kula
Back to the drawing board (how many times hav we heard that one!!!!)
free kick…on the edge of the 18…
Guyz is there any hope for us
who named HR super fox?
Kalaba just hit the post
I ve never seen so many missed chances, Great shot on the set piece very unlucky not to go in.
There is never hope for Zambia
Wings boys! Fagga pa wings and get crosses in. This is the most frustrating game ever.
its not HR’s fault at all, its not him who missed 20 occasions to score, and if he was on the pitch am sure he would have scored one or two!
just won’t go in for Zambia. 58% – 42%
I agree Anonymous….
Guys this is bad. Pa home.
kalaba is the man of the match for zambia, the only one who didnt miss much and shot on target
We need to learn to score, nor matter how much we play well if we do not score then our playing well means nothing, it wont take us to the world cup, will it? Sad indeed but for die hard fans, it is time we got back to the drawing table.
time left?
Tough luck. Kuyamba timayamba bwino, manje poor finishing. Anyway it happens. Forever ba Zambia – anything can happen in football. We are still with you boys.
another one missed when alone, this is not international level..
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! another free header missed
Fwayo..!! Oh my goodness….free header..
Zambias just do the talking and less action. Why would you think you would put 3 past algeria when they beat Egypt who beat Italy. Zambian stop dreaming. Maybe 2014 world cup.
score and time?
eish…..no comment…we ve bcome another victim to thses Algerians..1st it was Egypt n nw its us….lets nt gve up…
Zambia plays getto football.
What Happened?
Game over we lose
The referee has been on our side but we lack inniciative in front of goal. We have no team. This your so called fox has been dropping good players such as Chansa, Mbesuma etc and remaining with useless guys
twa luza sure
WEEEEEEEEREEEW
I TOLD U SO ZAMBIA 0 ALGERIA 2
It’s all over guyz
Guys, we have lost because lack was not on our side.
Game over. 0-2. We played well. Hard luck boys. September we’ll win.
3 games: 30 occasions, 2 goals, 4 pts with a win, a draw and a lose, when all of them were easily winnable (except maybe in egypt where the draw was a good result)….
is the game finished or not yet
DONT WORRY GUYS WE WILL REVENGE IN ALGERIA. ITS LIKE HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF.IN 1985 THE SAME COACH INFLICTED A 1-0 WIN OVER ZAMBIA AT INDEPENDENCE STADIUM. WHAT IS WRONG WITH CHRIS THESE DAYS IT SEEMS HE HAS LOST SOME STEAM?
GUYS GIVE US THE FINAL ANALYSIS OF THE MATCH
grace yourselves for another smashing by egypt and algeria.
gentlemen, we still have a chance of getting to the WC. Algeria still has to go to Egypt and Egypt still has to come to Zed. I dont see Algeria Beating Egypt in Cairo and us being beaten in Rwanda. The Key games are Alerria away and Egypt home. Football
I love Zambia, I think we lack the Knack of goals upfront, if we had put away our chances it would have been a different game, in fact one goal would have been enough to change the game, we certainly played much better than the Rwanda Game.
Congratulations, Algria, you are favourites. Zambia forget about it. There is one way, they will beat Algeria away. Egpyt is coming to beat us at home.
Poor defense people Tana should be reconsidered we need strong center back
this is a heart breaker. I can see up beating Algeria in Algiers. Now we have to beat Rwanda.
@Chamz
i hav to agree with u…..Zambian is dommed
Very true anonymous.
Unfortunately, Egypt has been playing top class football at the Confederation Cup and If that’s the game they will bring to Zambia then we are in for a rough time. I still believe every game is different, Zambia all the way. Tough luck fellows. Strikers, Strikers Strikers! work on your scoring.
I don’t think so bro. Just wait and see. You will be surprised to see tables turning. I am sure Super Fox has taken note of the weaknesses ans surely improve in such fields. Come September, we could be talking of a different story.
There is still 9 points at stake and football being what it is, not all is lost just yet.
______________________
SA 2010 Here We Come!!!
Typical game of football-you are punished for not taking your chances. We could have scored at least four goals but we just didn’t take our chances. Heish this thing of feeling nervous before a bad result is something else….
Ba zed, baka luza luza, we will never stop settling for less. The team that had serious preparations carried the day. How do you expect to win when you prepare against minors under 17 orlando pirates, come on guyz
@ALGERIA
I hope your words are looked upon as holy in Allah’s eyes.
Congratulations Algeria, I still fancy Egypt over you especially from what I have seen at the Confederations Cup. We will meet again in Bilda with rejuvinated zeal. Enjoy your victory
next game in algeria will be the key, but with such a poor finishing you cant go anywhere…whats wrong at home with scoring??its not like they’ve been dominated the whole game, they had the occasions, but what a number of misses..and when on the other side the defence lacks concentration once or twice, in front of a good and solid team you take two goals. We’ve offered them the game and they’ve accepted it playing well and not missing the opportunities that they had, unlike us…
great game from zambian team
but we won
the guys played good tactical football but lacked the sence of urgency to score when they had 45 mins of play. They woke up when they only had 15 mins left and 2 goals down. We were too arrogant and careless in the back. What do they say; if you win through your overlapping defence you will loose by it.
whoever thinks zambia will beat algeria and egypts lacks football knowledge. zambia has two tough games away and a tricky tie against egypt at home. I as a zambian soccer fan will be happy if we qaulified to the africa cup of nations. Thinking about the world cup is beyond our reach and that will only be applying more pressure to the technical staff and players. Sometimes its us the fans and leaders who are to blame for the poor perfomances. we expect too much from these players. I personaly did not think that we woul beat algeria and I dont think we will beat egypt either.
Good lack Zambia
Could’ve been such a different game had we taken those numerous chances. I say we’re still in with a shot. Pound for pound much better than Algeria, but still a little disorganised. We can’t go to the world cup like that.
I have like soccer, since I was a small. But one thing, I refuse to do is to be depressed over it. I think, HR must change the team. I agree with those who have been saying, Chris is not playing well. Between now is the next game, we need to play friendlies. Lets not blame the coach, the government, FAZ. Its the players who can’t score.
DISSAPOINTING DISPLAY FROM ATTACKERS BUT HEY THIS IS FOOTBALL N SO WE CAN’T PREDICT THAT EGYPT WILL BEAT RWANDA OR ALGERIA OR ANYTHING THE JURY IS STILL ON,THE VERDICT HAS NOT BEEN MADE KEEP YOUR HEADS HIGH AND JUST UP YOUR GAME FROM TODAY WE MAY HAVE REDUCED OUR CHANCES BY 80% BUT 20% IS STILL NUMBER WE CAN WORK WITH, SO BETTER LUCK N PLAY NEXT TIME BOYS!
That’s enough for yu only 2 goals…
I told yu yesterday that the stars are coming and it’s will be a show at Konkala stadium .For a FOX (RENARD) a fOX a HALF (SIR SAADANE)..YU were very lucky to see this partry..this is only a confirmation of the egypt soore …have a nice week end and see yu in ALGIERS
Another June, another heart breaker. In soccer u have to score when u get the chances and god knows we had em. U cant blame the coach on this one, we looked good but we lost. Algeria looked bad but they scored when they had too. so goes the game, but my philosophy is if we can loose at home we can beat them at there home.
What is Renard saying NOW ? He better shut up his big mouth ..
@muta I AGREE FANS PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE TEAM, BUT ITS OK TO HOPE BUT PA ZED ITS LIKE DO OR DIE. BUT I DISAGREE WITH U ON SAYING ZAMBIA CAN’T WIN, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN FROM HERE ON AS LONG AS THE TEAM AND STAFF DEDICATED TO UPPING THE STRIKE FORCE WHICH IS OUR MAIN PROBLEM REALLY
@bouzareah
its true algeria played well as the results shows it, but dont be too arrogant talking about a “show”..the show was made by the zambian team, unfortunetaly it was a show of missed opportunities…
Its always hard to lose and I have seen this happen too many times in my days, just when we were hopeful and looking to the future we are hit by a damper like this. However if we are resolute, Americans say its not over until the fat Lady sings, we can make up ground and still make it. Good game, lots of wasted chances, defense caught twice and we were done. HR has some work to do.We fired blanks for sure but Zambia I am with you all the way, even in bad times.
Dear Zambian Friends,
You still have a chance to qualify to the African Nation Cup. Good luck.
We lost. Algeria was a better team on the day-they scored. Forget about ball possession we had. Zambia is like Arsenel, they always play well but lose. I think its up to Algeria to lose the momentum, otherwise its in their hands. Remember we have dopped 3 points at home, meaning we have to win in Algeria and Rwanda and beat Egpty. These are tough games. I am not blaming anyone.
why was katongo not used as a forward. when we needed to push for goals. He is more acurate and forceful than Fwayo.
DON’T TURN ON RENARD PA ZED EVERYONE WANTS TO PUT IN THEIR TWO CENTS. THE TEAM THAT SCORED WON. END OF STORY UNFORTUNATELY IT WASN’T ZED AT LEAST NOW THEY CAN TRY TO REALLY UP THE GAME N REALLY GE THE ZEAL THAT THEY HAD AGAINST EGYPT VIVA CHIPOLOPOLO CUM RAIN COME SNOW COME WINTER COME SUNSHINE NI CHIPOLOPOLO FYE!!
The reason we are an away team is because we are a defensive team. Zambia has no offence. Air ball after air ball thats not offence. Atleast work on special plays corners, freekicks. If you are watching the CONFED, teams are winning from special plays. We need a Great Kalu to emerge.
Iam sure you meant for the World Cup…Thanks!
yu’re wright but the 3 points we got them from chipolopolo thanks a lot…now yu know there will be a great fiesta…yu spoke too much before…i thing it was a war betwen the coaches and the oldest won…
Yes guys its not wat we wished en hoped 4, givin out 3 free points, my question is y is Sinkala out of the team we av quit a gud team bt we dont av any 1 in the holding mid fieldda number best 4 Sinkala any ways with this faz of ours kaya, kaya, kaya…. maybe nxt tym Zed friendlies with olando junior appearz nt 2 be working anyway kaya, kaya, kaya…….
Algeria and Zambia have always been friendly nations. Don’t let any fake pseudo-name interfere between us. Good luck for the rest of your games.
KENYA 1 MOZAMBIQUE 1
We played some good football,comparatively good passing football. I was impressed by the hard working felix and kalaba.Our striking force has been too blunt since the days of KALU the great. Defense was caught napping at times but that’s part of football. Felix and Kalaba enjoyed their game but chris has been quiet for a while now. It might be a while before zambia has the “KALU class” of striker so i believe we should bank on the likes of kalaba, felix and mbola for goals. Let’s hope we get to afirca cup. Let’s support our team till the end…. No place like zed. L.O.V.E zambia
Cant remember the last time Chris was subsituted….thing really got bad
To be honest guys, I have lost hope in WC 2010. We needed nine points from home games. The coach has tried everything-Mbesuma, Given, Mayuka, Chris. Its not about Sinkala as his fan club will suggest-its goals. How will Zambia beat Algeria away? Rwanda? Are you guys seeing Egpyt in SA? Lets not insult-the coach, faz, government and team. It took Spain 46 years to get it right.
Desert Foxes > Duper Fox…enough said
Guys, even though I’m sure Marty USA is not algerian, I feel really feel ashamed now for my country (Algeria) and want to apologize for this stupid guy’s insults. MARTY USA, we know the trick: you pretend to be algerian and insult others jus to bring the blame on algerians. Tu n’es qu’un pauvre imbécile. Very good, clean football match anyway. I wish the best for Zambia.
Chris was subbed in Cairo. Maybe HR must swallow his pride and bring back Clifford, Boyd Mwila and play Saku and Banda boys.
We can still beat that Algeria team but we need some good coaching .
Zambia will rebound. No one said it was an easy group. This is football. However that Zambia fans need a gut check. The twelfth man was sleeping. They acted the same way against Rwanda. Maybe they think there ticket earns them the right to sit on there hands. Zambian Fans you get a ‘F’ on this one. We’d win if we played at a neutral ground. The Ivorians can support Zambia better than Zambian fans. As the results showed in CHAN.
1 2 three viva l’algerie
sorry but algeria will be in south africa 2010 inchallah
we have a good players . we have 2 match here in algeria that mean 6 points
i thinck it’s sufusant for going to south africa .
good luck for african cup .
friendly mohamed
i watch almost all european football, including German leagues on satellite TV. So for all of us who keep saying where’s sinkala, sichone and the likes we should maybe ask ourselves what makes us think sichone or sinkala are better than chintu kampamba or nyambe mulenga. Things change, players performance change. I think sinkala and sichone are no longer at their best, atleast from what i’ve seen. the team we have is the best we can assemble looking at the form of our players. We just lost the game…Players did their best. Maybe we just need sharp shooters or some luck. We lost a game we should have won and won a game we might have drawn. That’s football.
CAN SOMEONE ANALYSE THE MATCH OBJECTIVELY, BE IT ZAMBIAN, ALGERIAN OR ANY INDEPENDENT PERSON WHO WATCHED THE MATCH.
Chamz…Chris was not subbed in cairo. Chintu came in for Kalaba, but it seemed as if he was coming for chris, thats when the confusion broke out
There is a difference in playing football and kicking the ball.We lacked intelligence and creativity.Yes we had possession and desire to win but what is possesion and desire without intelligence and creativity?
Zambia as usual played well from defense to the midfield. Problem was in the final third. We did not seem to have an idea how to break the Algerian defense. i don’t understand why some people are saying Mbola had his worst game. The boy is truly a revelation. I think all the first half attack for Zambia came from his flank. This game was lost because of the poor finishing. Singuluma and Jacob had plenty of chances to score and win the game. This was really a case of luck of a good striker. Renard made the right changes at the right time but the boys up front could not put the ball in the back of the net for the life of me. Zambia did what they do best when you have so much hope in them. Donate points when it really matters! We might aswell kiss 2010 goodby.
WANSEKESHA LOL! THO I WAS THINKING THE SAME
Algeria : You are not Algerian. Are you in Cairo ? Cut it out.
I talked about Jacobs inability to score a couple days ago and people where all over me. Hopefully today you saw exactly what i meant. Jacob should be a second half super sub!
@fifa
Zambia is just maturing as a team. Once we have that creativity and intelligence, we become what is now spain national team, awesome. But that is no easy fit to achieve. Remember we do not have a good foundation, look at our leagues where our players come from. When our league was competitive, with ZCCM, we had enough reliable players to choose from. I think as a country we got a lot of homework to do.
Hey Buddy talk to me after you get a result with Egypt. How many fans were in Egypt? And Egypt dominated play, Zambia got a point. Zambia will give you a head you’ve never had.
to ALGERIA, personal attacks are of bad taste and if anything it tells us about YOUR own intelligence yes we WON but it aint over so shut up and be gracious
I THINK ZAMBIAN “FANS” CAN BE HOSTILE BEST IS FOR COACH TO PLAY MBESUMA AWAY WERE HE WON’T FEEL PRESSURE FROM THE FANS BUT RELAXED. I WILL STILL SAY TOOO BAD THE BEST FANS CAN ONLY BLOG FROM THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY OTHERWISE I EVERYTIME ALGERIA SCORED WE SHOULD HAVE SANG CHIPOLOPOLO IYEEE LIKE MAD PIPO. PA ZED TU PRESSURE TULIKO BAD.OUT OF THOUSANDS ONLY 100 OR LESS R LIVELY YASHANI IYO?
THE PITCH LOOKED A BIT BETTER MWE BY 10% OR SO( ULUKUNGU WAS LESS.IT MEANS THAT THEY JUST DON’T PAY ATTENTION. THEY SHOULD JUST PAY THE KONKOLA BLADES NOT TO USE THE PITCH TILL THIS ROUND OF QUALIFIERS IS DONE
The Zambian team cant play at the wc or it ill get good beatings if nothing is done.Algeria never played any football TODAY but they got two goals.For now Africa Cup is enough.Remember the 5 1 from cameroon, 4 1 from tunisia.Better be home than receaive 10 2 at WC
I have a strange feeling we will win both away games-better pitches and no insulting “fans”. I am not sure about the Egyptgame though. We have a good and young squad who are hungry, that’s a big plus. Even if we don’t get to RSA, I believe we will do well at the Afcon-it is away from home isn’t it?
You know; they say when attacking a goal you should run as though you are going though it. However Zambian strikers wait. Thats why those balls kept flying everywhere. Why pass if no one is running. We need players that push the defensive line like Eto, Henry, Christiano. The ref is not going to call every off side. You push the envelop you will get away with something. Eto scores a lot of questionable goals. Its all about URGENCY..
@chola
No need for excuses and explanations here.Enough is enough.The coach lacked ideas and a game plan.he was actually depending on the talent of Zambian players.
Who has the calculator?! It’s time for mathematics.
Overall we played well guys, a much improved performance than against Rwanda. I know that the game is all about scoring goals but we did everything apart from that.
Okay here’s how I saw it.
Mweene 7/10
Hard to asses because he didn’t have much to do apart from pick the ball out of the net a couple of times. Perhaps he could have come off his line a bit quicker for the Algerians first goal, but that would be a harsh critisism.
Muzo 7.5/10
Fantastic. I have given the guy a hard time in my assessments, but he proved me wrong today. Solid at the back (although the cross for the second goal came from his side) and a threat going forward. Belhadj the much talked about Portsmouth left back was kept in check and I actually think that Muzo won their battle.
Mbola 7/10
Did well and displayed a never say die attitude. He defended well and ensured that the threat on that side of the pitch never materialised. Got forward well but his delivery wasn’t always the best. The commentator on myafricanfootball was drooling over the boy, especially as he has only just turned 16. Overall not a Rwanda performance, but not far off.
The Machine 6/10
Tough and strong. Even though the Algerian forward looked much bigger than him, Nyambe didn’t give him an inch to manoever. Again I think it is difficult to asses him because the Algerians didn’t really offer anything going forward.
Dennis Banda (Elegant, that’s what I’ll be calling him from now on) 6/10
This dude is simply smooth. A good passer with either foot and with good dribbling skill. Like his centreback partner he didn’t have much to do apart from challenging the long ball from the Algerians. The first goal was down to either him or Nyambe, I’m not sure who. And his pace running back was suspect on the second goal.
Mr Reliable 5/10
Francis was out of sorts for the whole time he was on. He did really well in winning the ball from the Algerians and displayed his ox-like strength in 50/50 situations, but his distribution was awful. He persisted in trying to launch long balls and hardly any found the target. Subbed at halftime.
Feligol 8/10
Despite someone above saying that Kalaba was their Man of the Match, I’m giving it to Felix. He ran the show for Zambia, collected the ball in midfield and carried it forward. He has great ball control, dribbling skills, is two footed and has a good shot (although it was missing today). He also showed a huge amount of commitment today, fighting for every ball. There was a great demonstration of his skill late on when he beat 3 defenders on the left side and they had to foul him. I really think the coach at Chateauroux is blind.
Kaka-balika 7.5/10
The combination of him and Felix was a major positive to come out of the match. Although not as skillful as his partner in crime he has a fantastic range of passing and vision. He was unlucky not to have scored from a fiercly struck freekick and showed real desire throughout. definately should play in the centre with Feligol.
Staff Sergent 6/10
I love Chris, but something just isn’t right at the moment. He didn’t seem to have a position and was lost throughout the first half. His trademark direct running is gone, his quickfire shots have disappeared. He isn’t the same player. In this game he made no contribution in the first half and although did a little more in the second it still wasn’t enough to save him from being subbed. I can’t help but think that this move to Bielefeld has been really bad for him. It seems like the confidence is gone and he isn’t sure what to do with the ball when he gets it.
Jaco 7/10
Started like he finished against Rwanda. Within the first minute he had harried the Algerians into a corner having beaten two of them with skill, power and pace. You could see that it mattered to him and his expression following a point blank miss in the second half revealed his emotions. He is big and strong, the Algerians had obviously singled him out and they didn’t give him space. Joco kept running and harrying, but he needs to do more than that… he needs to score.
Freedom 5.5/10
Unfortunately the predator failed to take down his prey even when it was handed to him on a plate. Given had 2 outstanding opportunities in the first half and failed to take either. The first was a free header at the far post. If he had made the keeper work then he could be excused, but to miss the target, that’s inexcusable. The second chance was fluffed when he shot straight at the keeper following some amazing work on the right from Muzo who then put through a fabulous ball. Verdict: Given needs to score soon or he might not get too many more chances.
Subs
Fwayo 6.5/10
Came on for Given and added some extra skill and pace to the attack. His first touch was to beat an Algerian with a sublime piece of skill which got the crowd on its feet. I really like Fwayo and think that he has a big part to playin our future, I think HR just needs to bite the bullet and make the tough decision to bench Chris because he’s off form. Fwayo had a guilt edged chance to equalise when he met a deflected Jaco cross and the ball was cleared off the line. The Algerian’s hit us with a deadly counter and scored their second. Overall decent game.
Noah 7/10
Came on for Kasonde at halftime and was the distributor that Francis failed to be. Noah has a sweet left foot and used it to great effect in spreading the play via long diagonal balls. I think Noah is both the luckiest and most unlucky player at the same time. Let me explain. He is lucky because despite not playing at his club he consistently gets called up for Chipolopolo and gets game time. He is unlucky because he is asked to play a huge variety of roles and can’t make any position his own. If he can replicate the second half performance then he might challenge Kasonde, but I would need to see him up against a team that was more intent on attacking so that we can see how he is under pressure.
Bomber 7/10
Came on for his skipper and put himself about (as they say in UK). The boy is still only 18 but his time in Isreal seems to have bulked him up and he has a bit of a physical presence. Worried the Algerians with his strength, running and enthusiaism. Had one shot way of target, but did well in the build up to shield the ball, turn and shoot. Let him continue his development and he will be one to reckon with.
Verdict: We played well and had the Algerians on the ropes for much of the match. Even though they had a star studded team we surprassed them in most areas. At the final whistle the average age of out team was about 21 which is amazing. We have made it difficult to qualify for SA2010, but at least we know that we just have to win all the remaining games, no more factoring in draws it’s win or nothing now.
Congratulations to Algeria. They took their chances. We played all the football but couldnt finish. We seem not have exceptional talent amongst the strikers. Maybe Mbesuma should not have been droped. He should have been kept in camp even if Renard knew that he wouldnt use him. This would have boosted his moraler and kept him fit. He is the only exceptional striker that has come out of Zed since Kalu. Our midfield also lacks creativity. No killer passes like the one Joseph Musonda gave to Singuluma. That shoul have been coming from the midfield. We still dont have a natural at defensive midfield ( I have always said this ) Kasonde, Chivuta are all makeshift and they were exposed today, though Chivuta brought some life. The pitch is terrible, we cant play our passing game in that state. This loss is a set back, but not the end of the road. In the same way we have lost at home, we can also beat them at their home ground. Lets stay focussed.
@DaMwiinger
I like that.WE might lift the cup of nations in Angola.
I beg to differ. Why didn’t the under 20 get such cricket scorelines? We are not that bad-this is the same team that held Egypt in their back yard remember. To some extent, we are our own enemy because of the general Zambian negativity and half-hearted support. One moment Zambia Chipolopolo the next Zambia nima kula-how does that work?
HMM THE RWANDESE DEFENSE IS GOOD AGAINST THE ALGERIANS, THE GAME IS STILL VERY OPEN EVEN FOR RWANDA AND EGYPT
I think Copperbelt Fans are very Hostile, just like the English. All them Kalampa boyz. I would not be suprised if Algeria is under heavy police escort.
@Kolokombwa
The midfield was excellent man,it just that the Algerians packed themsevlves at the back ,making things difficult n in such a situation we needed the intervention of a creative coach whih we lacked today
@DaMwiinger
Brother Zambaians played with all thier hearts and zeal but they lacked creativity.In sport its not always you play with that zeal and determination.Forget abt the Egypt draw,its tym to move forward
@DaMwiinger i said so coz Algeria didnt attack but they got many goals.Algerains here cant even believe
@DaMwiinger
the under was solid in all depts and that why they qualified lol
As I mentionned to the Zimbabwian in my last post;
Be carefull , the Algerians , The deserts foxes are very very dangerous!!!!
Ahouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!Ahouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
@Whisper
Nice one, I agree with, Felix was also my man of the match.
I don’t understand what you mean when you say we didn’t have creativity. How come we had so many chances to score if that was the case? I am refering to the Egypt game to demonstrate our capabilities and the difference it makes playing at home and away. The fans at home are like the minus one man instead of the 12th man. Secondly our pitch is appalling making it difficult to play our game. I think what happened with us today is just the harsh reality of football. The football gods come at play-you miss your chances the other team takes theres and that’s you stuffed. That doesn’t necessarily make you a horrible team. Well, the majority of the team are from the U20 squad aren’t they?
Slow reaction on the Zambian defense resulted in the goals. The second goal was preventable. A sub scored in less than a min of his introduction. he just run into the cross. But its spilt milk. Kudos to Algeria. Italy played well too but they lost.
That was more like lucky if you asked me. Congrats by the way but I can guarantee you, we will humble you in front of your own fans. This is not yet over
Great review. I guess you got an eagle eye. I watched the match too and i think feligo was magnificent. Kalaba and felix paleyed well but felix is so intelligent on the ball. Big up man, nice review.@Whisper
To the who?
@Whisper
I agree with most of what you say though I think kalaba is by far our best player. Feligol was better than the Rwanda game but not better than Kalaba. I would have loved for him to have been available to feed into Jacob whenever he held off a long ball. Kalaba was passing and going forward as well. The best pass from Feligol was the chance Jacob fluffed past the upright in the second half. But having said that, thae lad hasn’t seen enough game time so it is understandable. I agree with your comments on Chris. I mentioned it when he moved that he was making a mistake and I think it shows-the guy is out of sorts
@FIFA
Fifa, can you please explain just what the coach was supposed to do or “invent” as you put it. Please be objective in your criticism because this game was lost not by the coach but by the players and the strikers were the main culprits. Between Jacob Mulenga and Singuluma, Zambia had enough chances to win the game!
How was second goal preventable?
we
@BuzzEd
We lost the game tactically not by inferiority and not on the field of play.The players did everything they cud.the coach must have known that the Algerians will sit back ,let us do the attacking and catch us on counter and that they achieved.If 14 minutes would have been added the result would have been a 6 0. The Algerians prepared well for this match.They started first by coming to see the stadium and and the hotels
@DaMwiinger
it was tactical ma brother
BUT CUMING TO THINK OF IT, THE ALGERIANS ARE USING THE STRATEGY OF USING THEIR GOOD ATTACKERS TO THE MAX BECAUSE EVEN WITH EGYPT, EGYPT WAS THE BETTER PLAYER TO BE HONEST BUT THE ALGERIANS STILL GOT THEIR SCORES. THEIR COACH IS WORKING WITH WHAT THEY HAVE.
How do you mean boss?
Have you watched the game Rwanda-Algeria ? The Algerians missed then zillions of occasions. Each game has its own flow.
@DaMwiinger
i am ready to call u n explain my position.creating chances is a simple thing but the difficult thing is to convert dem and this has been our problem since Brouwer Jan(I cant score from the bench).Hence there is a difference in kicking the ball and playing soccer.Zambians took the ball to areas they cudnt shoot from or areas which were packed by the algerians.
@DaMwiinger
2 Algerians versus 3 Zambian defenders??? Slow defensive transition. Look at the goal again. Mbola had Rafik but i guess was afraid of fouling him. No one even slid in to stop the pass. Ground pass and they were all on there feet. What? Perfect pass, perfect counter attack. Zambia was caught sleeping.
The Algerians only started defending after they scored. At the start of the second half, they had opened up. But even with them defending, we created enough on the field of play to score but we didn’t, what did you expect the coach to do?
@DaMwiinger
cousin just look at the goals Alge boyz scored.you dont pack all the players up front to get a goal.
The reality has dawned on Zambia. We dont have cutting egding players that can play at the World Cup. Algeria or Egypt deserve to go to the world cup
I strongly agree. Its like the pitch shrunk. Its called staying behind the ball. Something Zambia lacked.
You are right, perfect counter, how do you prevent that? The nature of a counter is to catch your opponent napping, you basically start running before they do which gives you momentum. The guy passed the ball just early enough before the defenders could adjust to slide for it-it was a perfect counter to echo your sentiments. We would have done well to prevent the goal but I don’t think it’s fair to say it was preventable
THAT’ WEN THE COACH MODIFIED HIS STRATEGY MAYBE, BECOZ EGYPT PAYED A BETTER GAME BT THEY LOST ALGERIA CARRIED THE DAY SAME THING. N WITH RWANDA I PERSONALLY THINK THEY PLAY A GOOD DEFENSIVE GAME AND OVERALL POSSIBLY HAVE THE BEST DEFENSE OF THE GROUP BECAUSE ALGERIA DID NT FLUFF UP AS MUCH AS ZAMBIA DID TODAY
@DaMwiinger
Cousin I look at soccer as a system that is input,proccesor and output.Specify pls coz a chance can either be good one or bad one .You are merely talking of chances,personally i am now comfused.
Cousy, we had at least two clear headers, a one-on-one chance and another you can call one on one as well (Jacob Mulenga’s second half chance). You seem to be agreeing with me that there was nothing the coach could have done because he was not on the field of play to score. There was creativity but we didn’t utilise it-that to me is a scoring problem not a creativity or tactical one
@DaMwiinger
scoring is the most difficult thing or creating open cut chances or clear cut chances .we even allowed silly goals.We lost tactically and our system of didnt meet the demands of modern day soccer or the 21 centuary.WE LOST TACTICALLY AND THE BOYZ WERE GOOD
See my previous post plus also think of how many corners we created and free kicks in dngerous areas all of which only one created a genuine threat at goal
I would agree with you that the first goal was a silly one but the second was a typical footballing goal-one team’s chance cleared off the line and 15 seconds later they concede one. On tactics, what tactics would you have preferred?
@DaMwiinger
Lets be honest Algeria didnt play soccer in Zambia,its just that we gave away silly goals (tactical).We outplayed them but with no purpose
I think we lost it because we didn’t utilise our chances. We could have scored at least four but we didn’t-scoring problem for me
@FIFA
first of all you and me know that we have have failed to score than one goal at home and secondly we know that the Algerians werent going to play an attacking game,that they said.Zambia should just have played Kenya in that friendly instead of playing that team they played from then they cud have picked better tactics.Yes after scoring 9 goals ,they got the mathematics wrong from there.
@DaMwiinger

Like I said its spilt milk. The goal was definitely stoppable so was the first goal, a defensive error. We paid for our mistakes. Thats big stage football. I still believe Algeria can be beaten at home.
We have a good coach, the defense was good so was the midfield. How do you expect to win when you cant even score when the goal keeper is beaten? The defense was excellent, and for those crying for mbesuma why didnt you defend him when he got dropped? I know chris is the captain, but his been underperforming so why start him? felix, kalaba, and joseph musonda played pretty good. I blame the strikers on this one they failed to deliver, the second goal was a counter when tembo failed to finish the easiest chance of the game. I think the guy who missed a penalty looks much better than the guys that miss when the goal keeper is beaten.
@DaMwiinger
nice posting but the word can be replaced by reasoning and not regret
This is a great point FIFA. In as much as we played the better and more attacking soccer, we lacked creativity. Another thing I don’t understand is why we did not use the wings. Aside from the fullbacks and Mbola did not have an exceptional game, I don’t understand why we were continually trying to go over the top even before the game got out of hand. I think Muzo was our main threat on the wings, but I think these exposed us defensively. Algeria mostly came forward on counter attacks and I thought defensively we were very poor when it came to recovering and find the attackers.
We did not play this game to defend, so there’s no way you would blame the defense for allowing two goals when We could have scored atleast 9 goals. They caught us on the counter because We were playing an open game. The idea was to score as many goals as We could.
@DaMwiinger
nice posting but the word can be replaced by reasoning and not regret
@Gametime12
nice posting but word spoils the posting becoz the word itself………… belongs to the unreal past
That team didnt beat us but we let them win the game.
my CONCLUSION IS THAT THE BOYS FEAR PLAYING HOME BECOZ SERIOUSLY LOOKING INTO THE CROWD DON’T GIVE NO MORALE I TELL U I HAD SECRETLY WISHED THAT FIFA WUD DECLARE CHILIES UNFIT SO WE CUD PLAY OUTSIDE ZAMBIA, THE ATMOSPHERE IS NOT CONDUICIVE, BOYS PLAY WITH FEAR OF DISSAPOINTING, NOTE:FEARE UMWENSO HOW CAN U PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL WHEN U R SHIVERING THRU N THRU ZAMBIANS WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR WAYS KK11 WON’T COME BACK SO JUST SUPPPORT TILL THE END
Hey guys you are saying that algeria won both games-egypt and zambia- by chance and their team is weak, just explain me how they won their games with large score.For me they are one of the best team in africa and u ll see guys what they are going to do in the future. don’t forget that all their players are playing in the greatest teams in europe.
GOOD LUCK FOR ZAMBIA
@kanal
Thanx.Zambia is a weak team as of today and yesterday, we cant score more than one goal in a match but today the trend has changed we cant even score in a match.
Continue building the team.And those who are earning some income, you must support small academies. Boys train with their own kit Lol. Our future team should have academy experience, footballers like Chris should ti.
@Baba
People working in Faz shouldnt be getting allowances .Anyone going to Faz should have a stable income and not milk Faz.let people be there for the love of the game n patriotism.how can a team camp in a foreign country when playing at home?.I am sure Zambians today felt they were the away team.we refused a friendly with Kenya , i am am beginning to smell some shit here.some Newspaper actually reported that some Faz official tried to steal money , what country have we become?
Hanif can change our soccer.Forget abt Kalu, for all the goals he scored for Zambia he was paid money .How on earth ill our team be camping in a foreign country wen we are playing at home? how abt our failure to play Kenya in a friendly? and how about Newspaper articles reporting that Some FAZ official was trying to steal some public funds?.Kalu must go as he is not a qualified admnistrator
congratulation algeria you have to give them all the credit ,they denfended extreamly well and did not panic so pls all you haters out there give us some respect we are going to the world cup even if you dont like it peace
@ramy maybe you are right!
Continue building the team.And those who are earning some income, you must support small academies. Boys train using their own k. Our future team should have academy experience, footballers like Chris should ti.
Lets stop dreaming and face reality-we have no formidable team to take us to Joberg next year.As long as your toothless fox continues playing the likes of Kasonde, Singu. etc then you might as well forget the Africa Cup in Angola. Fox and the entire FAZ should swallow their pride and call on the services of Sinkala, Sichone, Chansa and Mbesuma. And what about the Power Dynamos boy who came out as footballer of the year last year why is he not giving him a chance-why is he so much in love with that Singu boy doing very little on the pitch?. As i stated ealier on when the coach dropped Mbesuma, it was a big mistake as Mbesuma is a very intelligent player in the D zone and some of those chances the likes of Singu. were blowing would have been goals had Mbesuma not been dropped. I also suspect Chansa is well but because of the way he was treated by Fox last time he was with team-being dropped at the eleven hour after travelling all the way from Europe must have annoyed him. And the defence, my God-we have always had good players at the back,whats going on pa Z?
Zambia played a good game and possession most of the game. Algeria scored twice on the few opportunities it had. It is true that we did not come out and play when we scored the goal(s) but what team would when you are winning on foreign land. Our goalkeeper played really well and even when he was beaten there was defender on the line to stop the ball from crossing the line and then we scored on the counter. Had Zambia scored that goal the game would have been different. The opportunities were there but the finish wasn’t. I am just happy we won because we have not won away since 2003. It is a new Algerian team. See you in Algiers or Blida in September.
poor Chamz what are you saying”Remember we have dopped 3 points at home, meaning we have to win in Algeria and Rwanda and beat Egpty.”
when you comback in algeria, you will reconize anothers things about our team, please wake up your dream and it’s time to think if you will can go to Angola.
We have to beat Algeria in their backward. That is how it is in football. We lost but we have not lost it all. HR play players who are plying at their clubs. Sinkala, Isaac, Chansa, Clifford Mulenga, HH, Chintu in chapwa
The world cup is for the best teams and that is the truth
I hear u mwe
That is what has to be done under these circumstances. It is difficult to beat Algeria at home but not impossible. They may not have been beaten at their home ground in a long time but we can still change that. Our players need to be psyched up into seeing that this is possible. Punch for punch, in an open game and on A GOOD PITCH, it would be a 50 50 affair. We have to inculcate this belief that it can be done !
