We will wait and see. I think that we should not be fooled by thinking that where you camp wins you games. It definitely helps to have good preparations but what matters most is 3 points. Fight. The boys played well but there was not fight. Never say die attitude. Die for the cause attitude. That is what wins games. Not location of camp. If it is messy football and we grind out 3 points, I am happy. If it means camping on the moon, so be it. Let us just give it our all when we get on the pitch, thats where games are WON! Still behind you…all the way.

Spoiler Alert, it’s Morocco

This is football anything is possible. Go Z Go fight and conquer

I think August 14, 15 or 16 is FIFA day for friendlies, FAZ must play Morrocco or Tunisia or Libya on this day. It makes sense to camp there.

Chamz :I think August 14, 15 or 16 is FIFA day for friendlies, FAZ must play Morrocco or Tunisia or Libya on this day. It makes sense to camp there.

I agree, its about time we quit this playing reserves sides story. We need to e playing the best we can get not playing reserve sides and getting cricket score lines that is not helping us at all. The players play with no heart in such friendlies. I hope somebody with some really good ptching skills is on the phone at fotball house negotiating friendlies with proper teams. It seems all of a sudden we have this trend of playing reserves. It started a while ago when we camped in Spain. We need these games to up our profile so that major teams can now consider playing with us at their own cost.

Lolo, not even Algeria camp in Algeria, they spend team in France or Belgium, Cameroun too. Its better to camp away, what ever you say. I know FAZ has been blamed for not playing friendlies. But had we played a game before the Rwanda game, we were not going to be a full team, remember a lot of players were only released at the last minute. The other FIFA day was soon after the Egpyt game. People don’t look at it this way, if we played a friendly, we are most likely to use home based players. I read that Superspot are back in training, it means guys like Noah and Nkausu have had no rest.

Great news,hop we throw in a caple of friendlies while we there…News from Algerian camp is that these guys have been so ovawhelmed by our fair-play on Saturdae; they claim Zambia is one of the rare teams that would eva show such fair-play even in defeat in africa..even the journalist who covered the story sadly sez they (algeria) would most likely return the favour..lol Chipolopolo for life…

We hope they do Gesh. I am told they (Algerians) were lecturing to us what they even wanted to to see such as centimetres to use when putting the goal posts back on the pitch at Konkola stadium on Friday before the game like I pointed out in my blog yesterday.
So I hope seriously they will treat the Chipolopolo well. But Gesh, can we take their word for granted?

lolo :the team can camp even in zambia and just play one international friendly the team will be READY anything is possible.

We need to play as many friedlies as possible not just one. Can you really suffeicently gauge combinations after just one firendly?? believe you me if we play at least even four games before the game it will make a hell of a lot of difference than just one. The coach is really only getting to test combinations in actual games and this is not good. He should know them well before the game. For some odd reason in Zambia we tend to not realise the importance of friendlies. We seem to think they are just another training session and sadly even people in FAZ have this mentality. The mental strength playing teams like Nigeria and Morroco would bring to the boys is something playing Pirates reserves here in SA can never do.

The team should have been playing friendlies long before unlike just camping in south africa. Ok camping in SA is a good idea. FAZ should have taken advantage of the confed cup to play friendlies or training matches with those teams.
Now coming back to the saturday loss. Gentlemen with due respect, in crucial tournaments like WC qualifiers, use should be made of home ground advantage. A loss at home should not even be mentioned if a team is to qualify for a world cup spot. A worst result at home should be a draw. This is the situation I hate to see Zambia in. It has been like that before and definitely history will repeat itself. This dependence on mathematics in order to qualify will not work for Zambia. Lets face the truth. It will not be easy in Algeria and Algeria wil not be that unwise as to let us get away with 3 points. Yes its good and actually wise to be optimistic but the reality is we gave away 3 points on saturday at home. And it will be difficult to recover those three points. I dont want to blame anyone for this loss, but the players themselves are to blame. All was done for them in terms of camping in SA where there good training facilities but they failed to rise to the occasion. Ok quite alroght they played well, but playing well alone is not enough without scoring goals. Zambia in a long run has been lacking players who has a die-hard attitude. There seems to be no fighting spirit in the team when chips are down. Yes they got a point away in Cairo and I give them thumbs up. But staurday’s loss explains otherwise, lack of consistency in our team. Consistency is about character and some players lack character. The team also lacks leadership. We need somebody to encourage the boys on the field.
A missed opportunity is never recovered. Enough said, the way forward is for players to just go their do their best and hope for a good result in the remaining matches. And dont expect too much from these guys.

I think we should look even beyond that. Kalu, this is where you should pull strings and use your contacts to get us games against decent opposition. Even European teams. That will give our boys exposure to big names and big clubs. Not playing Pirates reserve, reserve, reserve team…lol. Good luck Zambia, we can do it.

On one hand though, Chamz was talking about the rest players will get and i agree about this concern. So i’m not sure more than one friendly game is the way to go. Even the amount of time players spend in camp has to be just right and I’m sure HR has the best sense in determining, maybe he would keep the guys in camp 2 months, but sometimes the longer is not better at this stage. Of course i agree about the emphasis we now have to place on getting higher profile friendlies and i hope the authorities do too.

I think we are still making the same mistake even after being exposed by the Algerian,that is still overrating ourselves.Every one seem to think we played well when the situation on the ground is complete the opposite.We did not play well!I said it earlier before the game,our central defense lacks height,the first goal could have been avoided with a good defence and that would was the turning point of the match.If you cant score you must always depend on your defence not to concede silly goals like the first one.We have been riding on luck with that central defence.If we do not change it we will be spanked again in Algeria,we were lucky against Rwanda and Egypt.I still believe HR erred in dropping Mbesuma,all he needed was
psychological help!He had put in lot of work in training before the game against Rwanda but unfortunately we the so called fans brought him down because of the penalty miss when he needed us most.He is still a better option than Singulume.I do not see any of our current strikers scoring in Algeria.

we will do it in Algeria!

Let’s hope this camping in North Africa materialises. This is the way to go. And i could only wish for a friendly with a team like Tunisia because they are just of the same make/type football wise with Algeria. On our striker – looking around at the moment, i am failing to come up with anyone other than Mbesuma. Maybe i am being too myopic but who, pipo, amongst our current crop of strikers do you think can be put up there and score??? Praying for the best.

amos mumba :I think we are still making the same mistake even after being exposed by the Algerian,that is still overrating ourselves.Every one seem to think we played well when the situation on the ground is complete the opposite.We did not play well!I said it earlier before the game,our central defense lacks height,the first goal could have been avoided with a good defence and that would was the turning point of the match.If you cant score you must always depend on your defence not to concede silly goals like the first one.We have been riding on luck with that central defence.If we do not change it we will be spanked again in Algeria,we were lucky against Rwanda and Egypt.I still believe HR erred in dropping Mbesuma,all he needed waspsychological help!He had put in lot of work in training before the game against Rwanda but unfortunately we the so called fans brought him down because of the penalty miss when he needed us most.He is still a better option than Singulume.I do not see any of our current strikers scoring in Algeria.

I am not too sure if our defence needs the most atention at the moment I agree though that in our group we have conceded the second highest number of goals, 3 to be exact in three games. This drums down to conceding a goal a game which is not a good ratio but then again I still think a great deal of emphasis needs to be placed on developing a finisher at this stage. An in the box striker whose sole purpose is to bury at least two out of every three chances that come his way. I dont agree with you on Mbesuma being the answer, at this stage we have to agree he needs a lot of work to get back and by the look of things even this seems far fetched. After CHAN Given seems to be another Adubelo Phiri and I think we should be considering other players for that role now. We take centuries in zambia before we find that striker. Somehow the bulk of our great players over the years always turn out to be attacking midfielders and the trend continues. Even now its the Kalabas, Gattussos and feligos who are most likely to get man of the match. before it was the Kalu’s, the Johnsons, The Mbaselas etc. As for strikers there just always seems to be this gap. Since Ucar the next natural seemed to be kelvin mutale, look at that gap. Yes we have had many a great striker but that in the box striker with at least a 70% strike rate. After kelvin we had Mbesuma and now we have nothing again. HR has a huge task of developing one of these boys into that striker. even the Algerians say we played better than them and they were lucky so it means this one element of our team needs a major overhual.

Two or more games with other Arabic teams will do the trick. We should just make sure we use the actual players who will be part of the final team, not a team full of local players.
Lets also utilise international friendly dates to play teams like Morrocco, Tunisia and Libya in their backyards.
The key word is PREPARATION!!!Its not over until its over like ba Muzo said yesterday

Colleagues,
Its is plain clear that the world cup is not for teams like Zambia. The reasons teams like Cameroun and now Invory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria will always make it to the world cup is the pedigree of their players. They have world class players (strikers and midfilfers) that can score and strethch opposition at any time. Zambia hasnt got this quality of players. I think that most soccer fans in Zambia are not realistic and cheat ourselves that we have a great team, yet non of our players plays for a decent team in Europe. we have players playing for reserve teams in Israel and we think we can qualify to the World Cup.

The best we can do for now is to ensure that even the Africa cup does not slip. This means that against Egypt, we should avoid defeat and hope for a draw in Kigali. Otherwise, even Africa cup will be a tall order.

With Regard to the Defence, I am also concerned about the lack of height in the central defence. Dennis Banda and Nyambe Mulenga are too short for central defence. Its time Hichani is groomed for one of those positions. Another consideration should be the Red Arrows defender Dan Siyuni.

For our striking force, we are in really really problems. The last 5 games, none of the strikers has scored. It has been midfielders. Their lies the problem. Looking in the league, one cant pick out any credible striker. Here colleagues, we have a big problem.

@amos mumba

Maybe we were to quick to judge Collins. There was one time in the game he was holding the ball in the left of the box, i think he lost the ball and i judged him on that and not the penalty, but we must be fair he was pressed hard. I think HR said he would still be considering Collins, we could use that kind of hold up play … It is a late stage to integrate him now, i feel though.

interesting point. I think it is a valid point. We need a prolific goal scorer. I don’t know why, but I am confident that Zambian football (resource wise) is on the mend. Look in the striking department we have Kola and Mayuka who I think will be world class players if nutured correctly. In the mid field we have Kalaba who I think is well on his way to becoming a quality player. In Defence we have Mbola who simply picks himself at left back. We have a good crop of players waiting in the wings to take us to the next level. What we should do is avoid wholesale changes when we lose. This core of this squad will peak in 4 years time. But they can still claim their place in history by taking us to the 2010 world cup. 3 games, thats all it takes.

I strongly support camping in north Africa because,
1. We need to acclimatise to the north africa climatic conditions (Have you seen the way Italy, spain and the other foreign teams were getting tired at the confederation cup, change in climate!They even started blaming the Vuvuzelas)
2. This will help us get friendlies with the north african teams to help up our game.
3. Camping out increases teams focus on training than at home were families, tu ma girl friends and all will be disturbing calls.

I agree, we are a young team but its not by accident that we are competing at this level. All these teams competing bantu fye nabena with their own problems and troubles. This ka small team of ours has some good history in the qualifying stages so, let us approach the game with positivity as opossed to negativity. Thats the only way teams win.
“Aim for the moon so that even if you miss you will land on the stars”

JC, I don’t quite agree, Togo made it last time ahead of Senegal. Abebayor was not even a prolific striker then. Angola made it simply based on a lot of monetatry motivation. We are going on about the boys, but what is in for them if they qualify? Bafana are getting almost 100 000 each just for playing in the Con cup. We may say we don’t have that kind of money but the players need motivation besides playing for national pride.

If it materialises,it would a plus for our team. on friendlies, FAZ should organise with Morroco or Tunisia or both. Otherwise, GOOD Luck Zambia

Chipolopolo! “Shoot aiming for the moon so that even if we miss will land among the stars”
Go Zambia Go

Where are pictures from Saturday’s game? I have only seen one on Lusaka Times

we will definitely do it!sill in contention even Algeria is not at peace!
good luck guys…

From what I saw with the USA, the contest is not over but our team must believe and play with purpose. I think it will be easy playing in Algeria, Zambia can simply sit back and counter attack, just play a defensive game. Besides, we must not lose out on Africa Cup. There is no guarantee that Algeria will beat Egpyt and Rwanda, who are also playing for WC and Angola.

@jc
I also dont agree especially on the point that we dont have any player making a mark in Europe. There are a lot of reasons why zambian players are not out there and 90% of the reasons are not even based on the quality of players or skill. Frankly speaking in your opinion after the years, is Arron mokoena a better or ever been a better central back than Elijah Tana. You will say no and yet there is Arron holding his own in the best league in the world. Him playing there does not necessarily mean he is better than those not there. A few things about why Zambian players are held back from going out there:
1. goal Keepers – generally the hieght aspect of goal keepers will be questioned before a European club even starts to consider signing a keeper. This obviously works in the negative for zambian goal keepers.
2. Defenders – There have been a few who have made it but in all honesty there is a stereotype when it comes to signing african defenders. the need to not only be tall but big. Regardless of skill and pace the first thing they lok at is size. Yobo is not a great defender but his size has worked for him. Mbazo (mokoena) is also gifted with height and a bit of bulk. when these clubs want skill they look to south america.
3. Name – Nenani Banda who has been in the industry once told us on this blog that we need a big name player out there. He mentioned we need a Mcarthy type name out there and this name will spill over to other players from the same country.

Thats just three issues and as you can see all three have nothing to do with being a great skillful player its just other factors and thats why for us its midfilders that make the mark. Eto’ never has man of the match performances when he is at the africa cup why do you think this is so for one of the greatest strikers on planet earth. Dont ever be intimidated by the whole europe thing. A lot of the time its not even the best the end up there. our boys have what it takes, its just been long overdue and now too much time has made us loose faith.

There is something wrong with our local coaches. That is where the problem is. They have failed to groom players who can perform at National level. Teams like Zesco and Zanaco depend on poaching instead of scouting for players in rural areas and townships. GBFC were very successful in that field during the 70’s and 80’s. We should not expect HR to be doing the job of club coaches. It is up to the clubs to produce players

Our players had the right height before we started taking part in Under Age Competitions. So the short and dimunitive players end up as U17’s, U20 and U23’s. This is because of age cheating. These same guys end up in Chipolopolo. People say even Spain are small, yes but the defence and strikers are tall: Pique, Puyol are not small men. Strikers like Torres and Villa are not short. Strikers and defenders must have above average height. I don’t mind short midfielders like Messi. I know short people on this blog will disagree. If you look at teams of yester years, you will see the Chombas, Soko, Estones, Kalus,Chansas, Kelvin Mutales, these guys had big bodies. Yes we had short players like Numba, Johnstone but short players were not the majority. How do you defend set pieces with Clifford and Felix katongo type of heights. I hope you guys are seeing Brazil big men at set pieces in SA.

Big Steve, even South Africans fans think Aaron is useless but having played for Ajax and BlackBurn now PortsMouth, I don’t think he is bad as people make him to be. He may not be the most talanted but like u said he has body and power, height etc. Above-displine and patience. Why would Portsmouth buy a player who warms the bench? A good lesson for our Felix.

@Chamz
I did not say Arron was bad, I was comparing him to E.Tana. He has a very good record that can only count if you are a good player. He was bafanas youngest captain back in the day, he debuted at the age of 18 for the national team and like you say one thing he has got the beats a lot of our boys is discipline. But again one things for sure, he has never been better than Tana.

The talk is indeed on and on and everyone has the right to thier opinion … i totally disagree with the notion that we can’t win with the current crop of players, i want to retaliate the fact that it is the same crop of players that got us thru to the second round, mind you we came ahead of Togo with the so called ‘players in top euro clubs’ … there many teams in africa who never made it to the world cup despite having many players in the europian leagues, egypt have won the last two CAN editions despite having alarge contigent of home grown material … as for me and my heart i still beleive my team Zambia in tis current team can cause havoc in algeria, get the necessary points level up with algerian on points and then defeat egypt at the ‘blades stadium’ to gain ten points before squaring it with Rwanda in kigali by then we will hve known the top team (i favour zambia, ive all the rights to). i will not lose the belief that this is our season to make new and great records … yes even defeat like the one we suffered at the hands of algeria is enough mental preparedness … the pain of defeat helps one realise the joy of victory and also makes one alive to the possibility of defeat and consequently helps one to gurad against defeat … simple questions to us all … can Zambia beat Algeria at home? the answer is if Zambia can draw Algeria at home then they can also win in the last minute, this is football, Zambia can beat beat any team anywhere just like it can be beaten by anyteam even a select side … why dwell on the negative!!!??? why not remain positive for your land why go to battle in the first place if you are not expecting any victory??? my heart is ever expectant and will always … even there is any curse on the Zambian football like one person suggested i remove it from our land in the mighty NAME of JESUS our Lord and Saviour!!! of course I pray that football shall never be placed higher than the WORD of GOD… God bless the republic and all in all … proud Zambian … Shalom, Shalom, Shalom … Go Zambia and reclaim the momentum you have shown the past number of games, remember we lost to togo but still were top of them at the end of the race??? all things are possible … this is no dream but a vision … better die with hope than none at all … win or lose the Name of the LORD is to be praised in our great land of Zambia … GO Zambia and defeat algeria, egypt and rwanda scoring an average of 2.5 goals per match and we will head to SA 2010 … anyone with HR and players cell phone numbers??? i wanna build them up with confidence … pls send me on 0977 845028. God bless us all

Chris Katongo has been a very big disappointment, going by his performances for Zambia, I can now clearly see why his team in germany was demoted. he is no longer the same katongo we used to know. instead of rising to the occasion when the chips are down, katongo just simply can’t. i think he should be benched, probably that will teach him a big lesson. some players only learn to be consistent when they are benched

in the name of the LORD, the Amavubi are gonna be blessed and victorious

100% in agreement.
Rookies(Nyambe/Dennis)need a taller experienced defender say HH.Gametime 12 i disagree when you say Nyambe and dennis are the best defeneders we have.These boys have only played three competitive matches.Whom were we using before? and how many goals did we concede then?

We will never be the same. Can Chipungu release the Gabon Report, maybe the souls of those guys have not rested in peace. Stop using Konkola Stadium we lost lives there and we have just forgotten about them. FIFA are crap they keep on remembering Vivian whatever but not our Gabon disaster team, Shame on you FIFA. As long as that report is swept under the carpet we should not expect anything, beleive me you guys amulopa wa muntu wa lishupa

Ba Katongo nabo captain mu 2 division, give that arm band to Isaac or Sinkala

Nyambe and Banda are better than Nketani, Billy Mwansa unless you did not watch the Cameroun game-5-1, whem Nketani was so star struck that he passed the ball to Etoo and cheered Etoo for breaking the goal scoring record, in many other countries, that defence would have gone to jail. The funny thing is that Patrick Phiri maintained the same team for the next game!!!

karim, you have not qualified yet, you are topping the group. Yes Algeria beat Zambia, I agree you were the better team (you scored) but I don’t think you are a top team yet. Besides, your team should called Algerians born in France, who were not good to play for France. That boy in Spain, whom you want, has he agreed to play for Algeria.

Karim, how many of your current team, were born in Algeria? How many have dual citizenship? I am not against that, good for your country, I just want to know.

Chamz :

Who, among the Algerian players, was born in France ? Come on, answer it

karim :most of the zambian players thy are locals .so thy are used to the weather and still lost .so how do you want them to win just for 1 week or 2 of trining in north africa? i think your team is just too young ,so please stop thinking about the world cup ,just think about african cup .

You are very right brother. If Zambia win in Algeria and Rwanda I will collapse

Bane we lost and lets us not think Algeria are fools and will let us win in their backyard. We will be butchered. Since when has a Zambian team won in Algeria, zero (0). I am Zambian and should say the best team in this group is Algeria, regardless where they get players from, why don’t we get players of Zambian origin from Britain cause we are crap, no money no football

He is just crap the earlie we accept the better otherwise this will end up like the Mbesuma issue, use your eyes and not loyalt. Zambia are crap and that is the fact most of you do not to face. Big Steve has been calling for experience and you have laughed at him what now imwe ba ka ponya

the isaac chansa you are talking about is one of those who gifted goals on a silver plate to the camerounians. the only player who is worth a national team call up is andrew sinkala, not these failed players you are touting like bakala, tana and nketani. spare us please

FMB, why will you collapse? Why?

To Chamz :
See, you can’t answer.
By the way, do you mean that a Zambian boy born outside Zambia is NOT Zambian ?
Can’t you answer this one too ?

Agreed he is really crap, what a captain, bena kalu used to stand up and be counted as for Chris kabili tapaba isomo, poor English not knowing why he is captain he is crap and that is the truth Kalaba for captain
