mutima ubaba….beer is bitter/hot in my mouth…eish

End of dream?? Stop dreaming while your enemy is working….zambia needs to retrieve those 3points in algeria win at home against. Egypt and simply beat rwanda….a sad day indeed.

We still have 3 games to go so we just have to swallow this bitter pill and soldier on until the last whistle.We have talented experienced & young players in this era capable of fighting this battle.ITS NOT OVER YET!!!

esla anzaku: i really enjoyed those ur chipolopolo boys
esla anzaku: ya they just play like guys with passion and desire to win but lack the experience or a coach to direct them to play to counter the tactics of their opponents

One thing I take from this games is that we have a great young team for the future(next 2 yrs)Mbola, Felix,Kalaba,Fwayo,Nyambe,Banda,Mayuka,jacob,Given all these guys will be big names on the continent mark my words!we can still go to Algeria and win, so it aint over yet.

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?

@KK11
Tomorrow is not guareateed ,the so called young players have to remain determined,hve to look after themselves first.We have seein talents wasted in Zambia,after Angola 2010 we shall have new faces of young players.

Zambians wil now be crying for mbesuma and crying for the so-called superfox’s head. We are such unpredictable people.

Zambia has never impresed me after 1998. 5 first round ejections at afcon, shabby world cup campaigns , not even cosafa! Wining away in algeria is 1/10, we fail to beat arabs wen they are home. Egypt now hav a mission and will come to kill us. Maybe rwanda in kigali, but rwandese mîght as well hold their ground. Ours now is to fight for angola afcon

And the drama begins. Brazil lost to Bolivia 6-1. They are back in it. You just move forward people. There is no such thing as home advantage in football anymore. How can you have home advantage when your supporters are sleeping. Mexico is at the bottom of their group and might not qualify. But it is not over therefore they is hope. The next game will determine the fate of Zambia. Its still wide open.

Every one is afraid of Egypt. The Italians they beat were old madalas. I guarantee you that if Egypt played Italy in Europe the score would be different. And Brazil just played a bad game. The worst I have seen them since Bolivia. Fear not this is the same Egypt we scored on in Cairo.

Zambia has to eliminate Egypt and Rwanda not try to catch Algeria. Algeria will sort its self out. They will stumble just wait and see.

Guys after watching today i am not stressed at all. Usually when zambia lose i get depressed. Today i went to church after the game and even laughed some of the silly incidents on the game. Why? Because we where the better team!!! Sometimes in soccer the better team does not win and you have to understand that b4 we head out to Algeria where we will definately carry the day. SA we won 3-1 away after losing in Zambia, Chad we beat them away but tied in Zambia, Kalusha had to rescue us with a penalty against Liberia in Lsk but we won away, notice the trend..zambia do well away from home. Another example is the U-20 who drew 3-3 away to Egypt but lost 1-0 at home. Cheer up guys we will make it with the quality in this team. No radical changes needed, Maybe just Kennedy Mudenda, Andrew Sinkala and lets get Patrick Kabamba to play for us and we are alright!!! Lets stick with the coach and the lads – THEY WILL GUIDE US TO SA 2010 – Remember the phrase and let the algerians bask in their fluke for now, our talent and game far exceeds what they have to offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was Argentina who lost 6-1 to Bolivia and not Brazil Marty USA. And they are not still out of it as they lost again at high altitute to Venezuela (i think). Diego needs to pull up his socks as their next game is in Argentina against the ever improving Brazil under boring Dunga!

We can’t cry for Mbesuma when the guy is out of sorts-misses training, worrying weight, uncvertain future (I hear Kaser and Orlando may be interested????????????). Similarly i disagree that we should say that the so called more experienced players that never qualified us during their peak years would have played better-ichisheleko we shall start crying for the fallen hereos (impossibility). As for HR, he may have made a tactical error.

Let’s also not forget that off the field Algeria were well prepared as they sent scouts as earluy as last year to check on the bumpy pitch. As for us we went to maybe good for no destruction but tactically i don’t know. It is high time we seriously invest in qualifying strategies rather than crossing the bridge when we get there. Tactically the Algerians were better and stronger than us. But thumbs to the boys that have surprised even themselves. Some of us never even gave them chance. Cote beat Burkinabes 3-0 in Oagaddougou while Nigeria got a valuble point in Tunnisia-Nil Nil.

As an Algerian fan, I hope you Zambians keep your head up and keep supporting your team. Despite the loss, and the despite the score line, your boys put on a great display and you had a number of chances to score. However, fate would dictate otherwise. With better luck, this game could have easily been a win for Zambia but such is the cruelty of the game we call football. I have seen plenty of games where my beloved Algeria has dominated the precedings only to lose out in the end. You have 3 more qualifiers to go and anything is possible!

you should be proud of your team even it lost.

they played well but…

good luck

you should be proud of your team even it didn’t win. that’s soccer

they played very well but…

good luck….

@Uncle Bobs
You are right man, next thing you know people will be asking for ronald poulsen to coach. That’s the problem with Zambian fans, when we don’t get the result We believe in changing the team. How many times are we going to change the team? Keep the same time, just find some real strikers. Those misses were just horrible. I mean come on even my great grand mother can slot that one in.

kabamba of zanaco is very much willing 2 b zambian!!!!!!!!!

Gents no Zambian striker has scored a goal in normal play from the time we begun the qualifiers in Ghana aganist Togo.Chris only scored a spot kick aganist Swazi and we have so far scored 4 goals in 7 games and allowed 4 goals.It should also be noted that we have never gone above 1 goal in any of the 7 games played despite dominating play most of the times. The likes of Mbesuma, Katongo,Jacob,Given, Chamanga,Mayuka & Kola have all had gametime in the last 7 games & none of them managed to put the ball behind the net.After winning the Golden Boot at CHAN Given appeared to be the new goal poacher but its like the award has gotten to his head & its seems the TP Mazembe bound is back to the level he was when he came from RSA.HR should continue the search for a goal poacher B Mwila,Timothy Mbewe,Chimambo,Sunzu Jr are the other striking options.In midfield Felix & Kalaba have been exellent but the link with the holding role has been a setback.Kasonde has been good defensively in that role but he lacks the ability to distribute the ball to playmakers.Chivuta is a total opposite of Kasonde,he has the ability to distribute but he isn’t good defensively. Sunzu has also played in that role & for him its a question of experience considering also that the France based youngstar spent the entire of last season without gametime at Berri.HR needs a natural holding midfielder in this role one who can defend & distribute the ball to play makers.Sinkala to me is that natural midfielder we can use in that role.We have Justine Zulu and Sunzu has options in the near future but for now SINKALA can be the man with Chansa in my prefered engine room combination of Sinkala,Kalaba,Chansa & Felix.In defence the combination of Nyambe and Dennis has been good but they are disadvantaged on height.We need to partner either of the two with a huge defender like Hichani or Chintu.This will give us cover on high balls & can be to our benefit on set pieces.Mbola & Musonda are perfect on the left and right fullback roles.To be continued….

so why doesnt the coach use this willian njovu boy I thought he plays well in that role.

i wonder why the coach couldnt substitute mulenga,the guy was s selfish with his baseless long shorts.

Leteni acca :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.

I concur with you .Also bring back Billy Mwanza and Clive Hachilensa.

You are not serious. Have you forgotten those school boy mistakes they were making at AFCON last year?

zambia is a very good team but we dont have technics.i dont know if thse players even watch how there friends are playing football outside there.

Metal pa metal :
The lads played well luck was just not on our side. As ba dinamo has put it we need sharp strikers who can score in almost every game. Maybe we should try Kabamba, faz can organise friendlies and try these players. Otherwise we are still behind you chipolopolo

I don’t koe how far the FAZ has gone, with naturalising this Kabamba boy. He has a good strike rate.he can help us for sure.

@gb
Alexander Liwana has lost it, I’ll post Cameroon vs Zambia for him to see all the mistakes that billy Mwanza made. Our defense is good, never been like this in a long time. They only allowed two goals and you guys asking for billy Mwanza? Let the coach do his job, he seems to know what his doing. We lost the game just admit it, even Brazil loses some.

karim :i hope you learnd the lesson this time .algeria is the best in groupc.c. so just forget about south africa . the football is in north and west africa.

Karim, we will beat you in Algeria, mark my words!!!

Ah!It is good to be proven right.thursday i was here, talking about Nyambe and dennis, and people like gametime etc called names……..2 silly goals as a result of using rookies.i had said, we need experience.Allahu akbar!

Hlexi Am still calling you names because you don’t know what you are talking about. Can you please explain how yesterdays game was Nyambe and Dennis’s fault?

With egypt dissappointing in south africa….I don’t trust them to represent africa at 2010…losing 3…0 to u.s.a…come on…after playing welll against brazil and italy….an embarrasing loss to a non entity u.s.a team….zambia must seize this qualification begin training hard for algeria….

Continue firing those bullets…..get new ammmo…..till 2010….coppper bullets…….keep firing!!!

After the CONFED South Africa will move up in FIFA ranking probably 2nd or 3rd in Africa. Who would have thunk.

karim :i hope you learnd the lesson this time .algeria is the best in groupc.c. so just forget about south africa . the football is in north and west africa.

I agree with you Karim. I think you are right.

Guys,we seriously need Sinkala and Chansa to complete this team.We lost the game from in the middle of the pack.I saw that Chris was always coming deep into midfield to collect balls,and the Algerians really packed their defence.Algeria came for a draw,but they were even surprised to themselves that they won by that margin.The Strikers we have can be better with a strong midfield,thats how we won it in SA.Chris was able to make those runs upfront because of the strong midfield we had in Chansa,Bakala and Sinkala.Ask the South Africans,they will tell you.Bernard Mcathy did not shine because we had a strong midfield.Im not aggitating for Old-tired leggs,but,experience in that field is needed for such big games.We cant be throwing away chances because a player made a mistake in the past.William Njobvu,Nsunzu and Sakuwaha would have done nothing to that Algerian packed defence.Lets swallow our pride,we still have a chance,lets re-call those experienced midfielders and try them in a friendly.

Dinamo :Gents no Zambian striker has scored a goal in normal play from the time we begun the qualifiers in Ghana aganist Togo.Chris only scored a spot kick aganist Swazi and we have so far scored 4 goals in 7 games and allowed 4 goals.It should also be noted that we have never gone above 1 goal in any of the 7 games played despite dominating play most of the times.

Spot on Dinamo. My exact thoughts as well. I have always said the same about our midfield.

karim :i hope you learnd the lesson this time .algeria is the best in groupc.c. so just forget about south africa . the football is in north and west africa.

Its a long way to go,dont be too excited.I thought Morocco were held yesterday?.You dont think you can lose to Zambia and then get held by Rwanda at home in Blida?.Then,when you travel to Cairo,its obvious that Egypt will revenge?.Dont be excited Man,Chipolopolo plays very well away from home.

karim :@Amuna Onzuna i think u dont know algeria.we gon a playe with 12 players .do u know who n 12? off corss u dont .is 80000 crazy fans ,thy are the best in the world .go to you tube and u can see .thy just waiting for that date,we will give a very nice football lesson ,u never gon a forget.we are not egypt we are algeria .so just watch and learn my boy.

Yeah,maybe I dont know but if we cant with stand pressure in the Giant Cairo Stadium,why not at the no-fancy Algerian home ground?.What is 80,000 fans?,its nothing!.The battle has only started.Last saturday,our Boys were under pressure but in September,your boys will be under pressure and maybe most of them will be off-form because now they will go and relax.Moreover most of them will be doing pre-season with their European teams.It will be a difficult game for you,stop dreaming that it will be a walk over.

KK11 :One thing I take from this games is that we have a great young team for the future(next 2 yrs)Mbola, Felix,Kalaba,Fwayo,Nyambe,Banda,Mayuka,jacob,Given all these guys will be big names on the continent mark my words!we can still go to Algeria and win, so it aint over yet.

We just hope most of them are truly young.

For those calling for Kabamba,let them be told that we have enough quality in the national team right now.It is just a question of finding the right combination.People should know that Kabamba is nowhere near the quality of Fwayo and Mayuka who are playing in far much stronger leagues than Kabamba.Please let us be realistic in our wishes.

Zambia just needs quality friendlies in order to be able to come up with the wining permuatation.

All speak a lot, You’ll accept it in the end, Algeria is more better than Zambia, your team just kiking ball, we ‘ll show how to play foot at home.
Our players are not under pressure, All them re profesional, Look at you Amators
Please try to go African cup, Rwanda and Egypt re waiting, and betaing your team.
You tolk about good foot, your team is just turning a round, we play like europeen foot
ByBy Zambia, yes Arabs as you call as beat you, and beat you again in Algeria

This time, We beat you 4-0 to explain that moderne foot is not turning a roud, ask your trainer, he lost tactik, he’s young and no expremented
You choose it, because you do’nt have enougt money to came with realy trainer.
Wher is Zambians trainer, if as all speak about past as you contry is big foot contry
Stop talking,

You re like egyptian, to now they re not accepting that Algeria is the best in groupe C, this is reality, We have a good team, some players of the team re togethere from 2004, you belive that it’s just luck.
evry time when an african good team appear, all say no, it’s luck, Cameron Nigeria and…re the best
We ‘re an anothere day, Algeria have good team better than yours, and y’ll accept it, Arabs as you call as is better than you now.

@From Algeria
You’re right, We have really bad tean, and no experience trainer

Iam with your opinion Amuna Onzuna. Ndimwe onzunadi

I am agreeing with you Amuna Onzuna. Lets call Tana, Sichone for the Central defence. Chansa,Bakala and Sinkala then we will see ourselves in South Africa come 2010 moreover these people can be there to help groom the Fwayos, Feligos, Nyambes and Bandas of this world

the same bakala’s, sichone’s, chansa’s, you are talking about have played in previous world cup qualifiers, did they qualify us to the world cup? please just keep quiet and stop advancing unjust causes. just admit, we have lost. i think the margin would have been more if those guys you are championing had played. rememer the 3-0 loss to benin, 5-1 loss to egypty and 1-0 loss at home to senegal? the team lost despite having these tired legs you are talking about in the team.

Now thats a true soccer fan talking. Thanks man!!
