Good comments. It beats me as well. Since 1964 it is the same story

Zed # 1 :Am very concerned on the plight of our players. It is like Zambian players have been labeled average by some factions. I honestly dont understand how in the name of football Kalaba would be joining Zamalek at the best we have ever seen him. We all know his display at AFCON was better than Alexander Song.My heart is at pains rigth now honestly the Zambian players currently in the best leagues are Jacob, Chris, Mayuka & now William. The rest of the guys are stuck in SA, Angola & now suddenly Congo DR is the new heaven. Gents honestly are we that average? Or our Zambia player agents are not playing it fair. FAZ & any other people can surely do something positive for our players’ trade. There are players in Italy, Spain & England whom Kalaba is ten times better. I am with him for feeling lowly placed. Somebody do something this guy is currently the anchor if Zambia is to get to a better position in football. Zamalek is no good for him he needs better exposure. Am not down playing Zamalek but merely looking at the best for Kalaba. This goes for all our players seeking refuge in all sorts of strange football places.

My comment above is for you. Sorry about this

I hope Kalaba refuse to go, a player can not be forced to play, Esien forced his way to England from France. Kalaba it seems has a problem with his agent who is pushing him from club to club.

I AM IN TOTAL SUPPORT WITH YOU JUSTICE KAFUSHA. PLAYERS LIKE HICHANI AND SUNZU SHOULD NOT BE HEADING TO CONGO.

Anonymous :I AM IN TOTAL SUPPORT WITH YOU JUSTICE KAFUSHA. PLAYERS LIKE HICHANI AND SUNZU SHOULD NOT BE HEADING TO CONGO.

Just imagine Congo of all places better stay home. Already we have 5 Zambians in Congo. We really have a problem. Our best palyers are now heading to Congo what next? Rwanda, Malawi and in the end Zanzibar

As for kalaba I do not understand what the problem is. The boy is a very good player but what is happening to him does not make sense. I think there is something we do not know

players

Ba ZAMFOOT do you know whether ZANACO have played any friendly games. The season is off in our country. I do not know about Uganda. Seems ZANACO have not played any friendlies. How do they expect to win? Good luck Wedson and your squad

justice good question…B zamfoot tell us if at all ZANACO has played any friendly games…@Justice Kafusha

Its becuase of this thing of European coaches stereotyping african players. This is especially the case in the English premiership. The french league is somewhat an exception in this regard. what I mean is if an English club needs or are looking for a skilled player with dribbling abilities, they will look to South America thats how guys like Robinho make it into their league. Only when they want strength, lts say they are looking for a big defender or big midfielder that they look to africa. I can name a huge number of defenders that are better than Yobo but in the premiership they will always prefer him becuase of his size. Thats the edge a playeer like Alex Song has over Kalaba basically his size and presumed strength because of his size. This thing of stereotyping players kills us here in central and southern africa becuase generally our players are pretty much on the small body size. Now the bad thing is that the stereotyping goes as far as regions and that again totally favours our west african brothers. So the coaches dont take too much time looking, they just look into west africa for that big player and south america for that skilfull player thats it. It always takes something extraordinarily special for a player from Southern Africa to make the big leagues, a Benni mcarthy type record or Mbeuma record before his downfall but west africans dont have to climb those sort of hieghts to make it. The selection playing field is not fairly balanced.

Your thought is true & quiet wise my man. Its sad that our morphology as Zambians is not doing us any favours. But I stil believe that we only need one opportunity in the big leagues. Kalaba can offer as much contribution to a team as good as Alonso or Fabrigus. We just need our players to believe in themselves and the agents to push big clubs more for better chances. Zambian players dispite being small have the flair.
Believe you me the day Zambia wil have a player or two at the level of Adebayo you will see what will happen to our game. Look at Togo it literaly come from the blues. Also look at the inspiration Kalu had on the team because of the level he was play at that time. Lets keep the support & faith flowing. And keep hoping for players like Jacob to break ground.

Your points gentlemen a very valid.It is painful to see our players being wasted in some of these leagues.

This Kalaba development is sad indeed. I can’t understand why he signed the contract in the first place. You can’t sign and then start second guessing yourself, at least show up and deal with things through your agent. These guys sometimes you have to wonder if they are under some sort of slave labour deal, I mean if the club made a deal with Zamalek at least see it through… 6 months at $20k/month is a small price to pay. Kalaba needs to think about the long term here…. see this Zamalek thing through and then back to business.

Nice to see Felix getting some interest in him, also good to see Mayuka scoring. Yaba ba Chamanga will be on the move at 30!!! I guess it is better late than never… he definately brought much needed fire power to the Zambia frontline wish he had been called throughout the qualifiers.

zamfoot or n 1 who help wt inform on hw many league titles chicken geroge has won. zanaco must work hard.

Head sock ninfula replaced with Ndobola, hahahaha

My man I think Zambian football yalitipwa pantu takwaba fwe, lyonse ni fwe. Why

@Justice Kafusha
Katwishi mwandi naine I don’t understand. Our guys are really talented and surely deserve better. Nomba modern football has really become about physical strength, how tall you are, na build. Small players seem to only be making it in places like Barcelona…and these are exceptional talents. Ba Zambia we have simply been written off by the world and the more AWOLs we collect the more people will look down on Zambian players.

Man ceasor :zamfoot or n 1 who help wt inform on hw many league titles chicken geroge has won. zanaco must work hard.

Man ceasor young man. I hope we get in touch thru facebook. Situ where are you? MC for man ceasor, I wish to state that Lwandamina is the only Zambian who can coach our National team as issues stand at now, assisted by Wedson and Janza all on full time basis, what a team

Awe ine amano nayapela. I really do not understand for example the case of Mbesuma, 35 goals mu SA he could made it anywhere in Europe, nomba sheki sheki na bu ndombola. i am really pleased with Jacob Mulenga, Mayuka, William Njovu, Justine Zulu, Roja Kola, Chris katongo ( though he must improve), Mbola, Mweene, Musonda (just play until you are 50, beat Maldins record), I like Sunzu and HH but their choice TP Katumbi worries me. Bushe even Katumbi should start to hold Zambian players to RANSOM? YABA JUST WHY?

HAVE MADE

Katebe Katoto, I know him well, thru. his younger brother Soliano who was at Nchelenge Sec School, ka mudala li krokuuuuuu………….. yangu tata mayo mwe

Drogba ala yu nfwa noku yumfwa yaba. Drogba, his team and our good playing team were kicked out at the same time with us playing better

Im equally concerned with the newly found Congo destination for our players. It is not health I wish Kalaba could play for an European club not Zamaleki, becouse he will end up in UAE it may be good for his pocket but not his career. FAZ should help these players becouse they get so desperate waiting for an Ideal deal that may never come. Player Agent requirement of $100,000 makes people this side of africa not have agents that are from the same region to have a true heart for our players.

I wish our lads the best where ever nature dectates they should play as I look forwered to a time I will watch a Zambian play competitive football in EPL or Spain. I almost became a pompey fan thank God I did not have the patience to just watch our man play an aggregate of 24 minutes in as many games for his former club.

Justice thanks bt i still want 2kn da numba of titles he has won 4me 2safly say he cn coach zed.

Shani bane, we are borad with the same topic about Zanaco leaving for Uganda, cant they come up with anything else interesting

Uganda’s URA plot for Zanaco

Subject : Uganda’s URA plot for Zanaco
Message :

Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) FC have pitched camp 40km out of the capital city Kampala ahead of their Orange CAF Champions League preliminary first leg clash against Zambia’s Zanaco on Friday at Namboole stadium.

“We are plotting seriously to have a comfortable win at home before traveling to Lusaka for the return leg,” said URA’s coach Moses Basena. He said he is optimistic his new signings Augustine Nsumba and Jimmy Kidega will be fully fit for the encounter.

Basena, a former Ugandan international told Cafonline.com that they have stepped up training to a double sessions. He said although they don’t know some much about the Zambian side, he is aware of Zambia’s general football approach.

After recovering from injury URA are assured of their lead striker Henry Kisekka starting the match, although midfielder Emmanuel Balyejusa and striker Hamis Kiiza are a doubt.

It will be the second time in about three years that URA takes on a Zambian side in the competition, after they fell to ZESCO United in the 2008 edition.

The Zambians are expected to arrive tonight (Tuesday) ahead of the Friday clash. The two sides will meet in the return leg at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka February 27 and the winner on aggregate will advance to the first-round against Cote d’Ivoire’s ASEC Mimosa next month.

Zamfoot :Mayuka scored a brace last night, Sunzu, Seba who scored in a friendly and hichani have signed 2 years deal at TP mazembe. Davies Mwape to lead power dynamos attack next season, chamanga and felix might head to france. Both players are wanted by israeli clubs. Felix also could be on his way to russia. Mbola wanted by a top portuguese side. An English side plus CSKA Moscow have expressed interest. Former Nkana coach wants K26M gratitude from Kalampa.

Nice, Nice Nice.

NAME ME 5 TOP EMERGING TALENT IN THE ZAMBIAN LEAGUE AND I PROMISE TO ARRANGE TRIALS FOR THEM WITH TOP CLUBS IN EUROPE!

@Anonymous
What exactly are you looking for? Also what top clubs? If kalabas agent is getting a cut of the $100 pin ninshi naine I want to know.

Chiluba (master dribbler), KK, RB, Kunda and Edward “Brown” Kangwa

mweene scored a penalty for his club

Ok, i have emailed my proposals to Zamfoot, I was email all of you aswell. Hopefully Zamfoot can forward it to you all. Perhaps the list of people who are interested in hearing about plans have changed, so it’s probably better like this.

unable to email…

hi pipo kalaba is missing from zamalek camp

Chansa and Chint up against each otha.Pirates vs Amazulu stil nil nil.48 mins played

TP Mazembe has financial muscle that will compensate these guys more than they can ever dream to get in the local league in Zambia. The basic driving force behind our players ending up in places like Congo, Angola, etc is economics period. Katumbi is a shrewd business man and has lived in Zambia long enough to know the conditions that these guys play under. What you need to realize is that he is offering these guys contracts with cash up front while European teams at the very least are offering these guys trails with no solid prospects of being signed on. For this and only this reason, I see why these guys end up doing this. Sebastian Mwansa, Sunzu are guys that have attended countless trials without much success and with options ever dwindling, I don’t blame them for trying to make some money off of their talents before their legs tire out. We also need to realize that if TP Mazembe does well in Africa, doors could open up for these guys. In Kalaba’s case, he needs to honour his contract, 6 months is not a long time. Amir Zaki was just at Zamalek not to long ago after some time at Wigan. His time at Zamelek helped refocus him and now he’s back in Europe. This business of lack of professionalism on our players is bad for Zambian football cause it is the reason why players like Mbesuma, Emmanuel Zulu and to an extent Singuluma to mention a few find themselves in the situations they are in today. As fans, lets encourage these guys to be professional, show up to work, like everybody else and let you body of work do the talking for you.

Mwana it is indeed sad about singuluma. I for one thought that after the chan games when he wreaked havoic that he would be destined for better things. Even zamfoot the cheeky buggers did an april fool by sayung marselle had signed the chogobay that is given.

He is a playa who can play and has plenty potenetial!! But he is wasting it. To be honest he is more talented than both chamanga and jacob but the thing is they work hard and try and try so hard but this boy he likes to eat kapenta instead and sit on his god given talent. Mwana he could have been the next best thing but instead he is now rotting away. Which club is he even at? The Club in DR CONGO but remember he didnt even go to the world cup championshsips and now all our playas think that dr congo is the best play to go.

Mwana I thought that sunzuuu and hh would have signed for some europena club. There were many rumours about sunzuu but it is instread sad that they will waste time at these useless clubs. Is it not mwana? It is mwana!

I like the way you think. so much logic in your writing!

The Botswana Football Association president David Fani has revealed that the governing body intends to bid for the right to host the 2016 African Nations Cup.he BFA could not put together a bid for this year’s event when it failed to gain government support in 2005.

The 2012 competition will be jointly host by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea and the 2014 edition has been awarded to Libya.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) are seeking the agreement of Libya to bring forward the event to 2013, changing the tournament to every odd year, thus preventing it from being played in the same year as the World Cup and the European Championship.

This would mean the 2016 edition being rescheduled to January 201

Zanaco played some friendilies with Nkwazi and some teams. They have been training since December 2009. They also had a TEAM BUILDING lecture offered free of charge by Simataa at NASDEC (I would encourage other teams to swaloow their pride and get this chat, I,ve already arranged for my Nkana to get it next time they are in Lusaka). Wedson has tried to strengthen the team for you that follow Zambian Soccer closely:

1. Trinity Chalanshi Ex-Chingalika (Kitwe Utd) and Blades-a midfielder of sorts that will see no reason to play Thomas Nyirenda in his new role at AFCON that he did very well.
2. Macha-a unique striker that Rangers faithful will miss. When i saw the boy and if in safe hands has capable to don the National Team jersey.
3. Maybin Chishimba- perhaps the best left back never to have been noticed, but had stints at U-23 level due to perpetual movements-Blades and GBFC (oscillating!)
3. Venacious Mapande- plays well in a free role behind strikers (Ex-Chambishi).
What i envisage is that ZANACO through play based on team work may find it easy to fill the big void left by Congolese Patrick Kabamba (what a gem).

I have never supported ZANACO, but write them off at your own peril this season.!
