Zambia FA Veep: We will still qualify with or without Fifa points
Posted On Friday, 22nd June 2012
Zambia players celebrating Nations Cup feat
By Ameenu Shardow
Zambia FA Vice President Boniface Mwamelo insists the Chipolopolo will still qualify for the 2014 World Cup even if they fail in their protest against Sudan.
The Zambians are hoping the Disciplinary Committee of Fifa rules in their favour after lodging a protest against Sudan for fielding an unqualified player in their shocking 2-0 loss in their opening fixture.
If successful, the African champions will be declared winners of the game played in Khartoum and thus will be awarded three points which will place them on top of Group D – three points ahead of Ghana with four matches to go.
The massive points boost, if Fifa rule in their favour will put Zambia in a strong position to claim the group’s sole ticket to progress into the final round of qualification but Mwamelo says they can do without the points for it is their time to taste the World showpiece.
“I wouldn’t want to pre-empt the decision from Fifa but we are hoping to win the protest against Sudan,” he told Kumasi-based Angel FM.
“Rules are rules and they need to be respected but if they don’t give us we will still go to the World Cup.
“We are definitely going to the World Cup because it is our time and no one will stop us.”
Sudan have however mounted a strong defence to the protest – arguing the Zambians failed to lodge the complaint within the 72 hour period after the game as prescribed by the Fifa rules.
The decision which was expected on Friday has been postponed with the World governing body demanding more information from the Zambian FA before sitting on the matter.

@ irresponsible ,fake Ghanaman, i dont blame! You have got access to internet use.Thanks to Ghana leading and teaching your founding President Kaunda how to fight for independence. You have a former physical education trainer, who received some training in Ghana too as your coach and you still think we are comparable? what was the scoreline of your last match against a European country? You call a 4 time African champion an idiot? You seem to be typing whilst playing with your manhood.
@JERRO,GREECE–my brother ,l agree with you.All too soon these muppets have saturated GSN running their mouths,insulting and showing no respect.
These zambians have no manners.They are dogs ,you play with them and the next minute they lick your cheeks.When they started trooping to GSN ,it was all fun and as they acquainted,the insults started.I don’t know what is going to happen next.
The earlier we flush these smelly bastards from this site the better.
our parents are also your parents where has the spirit of ubuntu gone, please lets not insult this far, guys you made us proud in the last edition of the world cup, your success has made us proud and its due to your success that we are enjoying ours too because you have a great team and we managed to beat you and are currently better than you in that we are the African champions. feel free to criticize but not insult like that.
Na sense you de talk, Ghanaman!
I lOVE THE WAY ZAMBIA IS GIVING GHANA A HEADACHE. PEOPLE DON’T SLEEP IN GHANA BECAUSE OF ZAMBIA. HAHAHA
Please stop reporting about us its now making Ghanian more sick in their stomachs! Buahahaha! You r really in trouble Zambia is the boogey team your mama warned u about! Buahahaha!
to be frank here,i knw it wont be easy for ghana to qualify,but by GOD’S grace,we wud make it to the world cup nd be the first african country to qualify for the semis! GOD wud surely see us tru!
Desperate. u want it dont u. no team would like to meet ghana when it hits a 100% form so beware zamb
When is that gona b?May be you talkin’ about 10 years 4from now.
why cant you be 100% form. Excuses and more excuses from you guys.Let the soccer results do the talking.
fooooooooooool when are you going to hit that dream of 100% foolish dream!!!!!!!!!
U fool. U told Zambia beware at AFCON but they hammered u. U went to Ndola and u were taught a lesson. Now u are telling them ‘beware’! U fool. They will hammer u in Kumasi! IDIOT!
ZAMBIA CANT BEAT US 4 A 3RD TIME. THEN WE BEAT UP ALL THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD THAT DAY AND GIVE ZAMBIANS £1000000000000
Its written you are in for a beating again n this time apologise to the Zambians and admit to them that your yesteryears is history..ok.
The butterfly thinks itself a bird. Zambia paaa de yaab Ghana na so. Hmm! Lets wait n see.
Ghana paaa de yaab Zambia na so,will c wat happpens in Acraa-just luv the build-up.
Continue waiting!! IDIOT. And how many times has Zambia beaten u??
gsn, why are u bothering us with this three point and these zambians. ain’t there anything else to paste than these things for the past days. please there are more interesting to write abt than these news so please ….
.
Tell them! FOOL!
zambia can easily beat czech republic. In fact ghana has never beaten any powerhouse before! What is USA ? You were lucky to have gone to the quartefinals. Ivory coast were in a harder group than you in 2006 and 2010 and did well. Against the might of brazil, argentina and germany ghana is useless. In fact Ivory ooast and Zambia would have beaten Uruguay. There is no way in hell uruguay can mark Mayuka or Rainford Kalaba.
Ghana 1-Germany 6,you scored first what happened?
Oh my God Zambia would have beaten Uruguay? lol hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Only in your dreams will that happen.
If you ever qualify for the mundial, I swear you will not even get a single draw at the group stage.Mayuka my foot
for your own information the very same uruguay team you failed to beat has been beaten by zambia in 2007 at the under 20 world cup. The 19 yr old suarez of this world and the cavanis of this world were up against a 16 year old Mayuka and they were destroyed. Check youtube if you think im joking or check wikepedia and see the 2007 U20 world cup you will see that the same uruguay team team that played you was beaten. Besides Mayuka has already destroyed you in afcon. Didnt he knock you out? Check the transfer news he is one of the most desired strikers in africa. Lazio, Newcastle, Arsenal, Fulham, Lille, Dinamo Kiev. They are fighting for him. Which Ghanian striker is in such high demand your best striker ,Gyan, is just interested in money he has ran away from real competition LOL!
The Senior world cup and under 20 are two seperate and different competitions. The environment, the competitiveness of the two are not the same
About mayuka: Desire and reality are normally at two extreme ends. If he is so desired like you say how come he has not been signed on yet. Where is he now?
I will say this again: At the senior level, if you ever qualify fore the world cup, you will not pick a single point at the group stage.
You dont win games at the world cup by playing ten men behind the ball.Just keep on dreaming. Mayuka Hahaaaaahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@BoscoGH-I see you will b supporting Zambias’ opposition at the W/CUP but u will b shocked cos we going all the way into the last 4 to become the first from Africa.Football has changed bro,Spain has won the world cup once but are currently regarded as the best ahead of the Brazil,Germany,Italy etc .So pliz dont tell us of Ghana that has failed to win Africas biggest cup in 30years ok.
gsn, why are u bothering us with this three point and these zambians. ain’t there anything else to paste than these things for the past days. please there are more interesting news to write abt than these news so please …………
Over ur fucking dead body!
GSN should not report anything that has to do with Dirty, Despicable, in-human Zebra Zambians..
I see now that this website is really working hard to insight this animosity. You Ghanians are also not helping yourselves…the first comment on the story is “idiot Zambia…animals..blah blah.” WOW it has really come to this. Zambians please, lets not bite into this rhetoric. Its funny how badly people behave when sitting behind a keyboard.
at that stupid guy JOHN who said zambia would beat czech republic u are stupid these ZAMBIANS ARE ANNOYING……. CZECH plays the same type of soccer u play which is PUSSY SOCCER SIT BACK DEFEND AND BE OPORTUNISTIC and they are far better than Rubbish Zambia…As for saying Zambia would beat Uruguay in the Quaterfinal is another lie Uraguay is a strong team ranked number 2 in the world and Ghana had them by the throats U ZAMBIANS NEED TO STAY IN YOUR PLACES AND SHUT THE HELL UP YOU TALK SOO MUCH AND HAVEN
T REALLY DONE ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT IN THE WORLD STAGE
@ kelvin be smart and make the link. My brother i have already told you we beat a similar team you played at the 2007 U-20 world cup in canada. Cavani was there, suarez was there. Mayuka and co tormented them and they were beaten. You fought against uruguay and lost. Uruguay beat you on penalties. We beat you inside 90 minutes this clearly means zambia can beat uruguay. Mind you every team you beat in sa 2010 zambia can also beat.
Learn some history, you full of yourself. It will be embarancing when Zambia beats you for the 3rd time in your own bedroom. About something on world stage, Zambia had beaten Italy 3 goals to 1.Accept that certain people are meant for greatness! We had lost a national team in Gabon and able to move past that and beat teams that live on past glory.Keep on living in the past my bro. Here is a link of Zambia doing justice on word stage since you are retrogressive.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2N0shw1PYw
who told you. please dont place yourself where you arent. you had the opportunity at the last worldcup, you reached where you reached because the whole africa including Zambia was behind you. what makes you think we cant go further in the world cup or that its not for us, for heavens sake, we are the african champions and you victory in africa was way way way back so dont rely on past glory. for your information. we are suited well to play european teams than you beacause of our style of play.
I don’t blame this smelly pillocks saturating GSN.That stupid zambian FA vice,if he thinks they can qualify without those three points why contest.Sudan played with ELEVEN players not twenty two.@JOHN be mindful that The CZECHS won’t play zambia because you smell too bad and with a country with 18% of its populace between the ages of 18 and 39 CARRYING AIDS l DOUBT if the czechs will want to risk their lives.
To all zambians,l say you are fools,sons of bitches and whores.You are animals and should not be on our site.
for you to play them should are more filth and in them same category.Losers!
It takes a filth pig to know one
thats grose we dont condone that, may the editor or whoever please monitor this, may they ban this user for uttering such hate words, he is no fan of soccer. shame shame shame shame shame shame shame, YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO AFRICA. YOU ARE A DISGRACE, DISGRACE DISGRACE DISGRACE DISGRACE. discriminating against people with HIV and aids, wheather we have HIV we still embrace ourselves everybody else including ghanaians who may have the virus because they are people just like us and have rights. WE ARE ONE LOVING NATION ”AFRICA” together we shout fight and conquer AIDS with love peace and dignity.
Something is wrong in Ghana,we respect them and hence always prepare hard for them.Instead of working a little harder to challenge us on the pitch, they choose to call us names.What we are see on this website cannot be condoned by moral editors.
That’s wat u are doing!! IDIOT!!
hahahaha…you feel so ashamed to identify yourself with your country so you are identifying with us.Guess what,you are too ugly,stupid,insipid,jerk,moron,bastard to come near us.
The reason why these foolish zambians are trooping to GSN is that it makes them feel important,they show off to people that we interact with GHANAIANS.How funny,zambians are pigs and nothing can change it.Ghanaman your mum is a whore.
Your biggest achievement since your past world cup encounter would be to bit Zambia.Its good to see that your highest aspirations are to beat a pig.
You idiot with a filthy mouth. Ghana is too backwards compared to Zambia. Just analyse the comments coming from Ghanians. No wonder the white coach had to leave. You still believe in African juju.
Ugly little bastard
Am sorry Mr Ghanaman. Am really an idiot. 4give me.
I salute gsn for their unbias reporting, please kep it up! As for the Zambian FA vep u are very corect. This is our time. We wil qualify even if we are not awarded the 3 points. Chakubaba ghana, wachepasana.
This site seem to becoming an international magazine all credit goes to the host and editor, thumps up. Piece of advice why not pick stories even further afield like whatup with lesotho media over their 7 0 humiliation? Their story? Views? Future plans? Let it not just be zambia ghana thing that way traffic in here will be buzzing more other nationals will be flocking and believe me even insults will go. Like now BS supporters feel invaded which we understand. Good job though.
All this insults are not helpful.The man says they will win at all cost,you guys need to let him be.Football is a game and people can be made to swallow their own words.This article needs to be saved and be re-published after all the group games have finished.However,this site owners need to maintain decency by making sure that no any abusive words are used here.I am a Ghanaian and i love all Africans,though i love football,we should not allow football to tear us apart.Please,you guys should stop the insults.I beg my fellow Ghanaians never to respond to any abusive comment.An adage goes that, “If a mad man takes your rag and you follow him demanding for it ,you will be seen as a mad man too”.
oooo chipolopolo.
oo
Ghana is now meseum in footbo, jst imagin a team without super stars nd wthout high standard coach bt u get biten twice in 4months. Guys giv credit were it is due. We ve got our own belief of going to the world cup nd our moto is DONT TELL THEM, THEY FOUND OUT FOR THEMSELF WHEN WE RE ALREADY IN BRAZIL. AND I KNW GHANA THEY LL BE BEATEN OR DRAW AND U LL EAT YO WORDS THAT DAY.
infact they irritate some of us,i dont blame anybody than the childish played at zambia.we should silence them with heavy defeat in ghana
in your mother’s dream will you get that heavy defeat
In yo dreams sogahboy,u cant beat Zambia in Accra wen you failed to do so @a neutral ground in Gabon,u got a spanking again in Ndola and we now waiting for the ultimate,another 0-1 loss at Baba Yara u will cry.. pank
@ john, spot on you u the man hate off.u ve remind them well.we ve beaten there masters before and i regret why they called it africa united we almost lost our lives cause that foolish gyan. Our on sunzu scored the wining penalty against cotdvour he should learn from as now.
Give us a break, i don’t know what you guyz were going to do if they are the once who hosted 2010 world cup and score even 1goal like south africa did against france. Mxm
WATCH ZAMBIA BATTLING OUT WITH BRAZIL IN BRASILA 2014. HAHAHAHAHAHA CHIPOLOPOLO UNSTOPPABLE FIFA GIVE AS OUR 3 POINTS SUDAN SHULD BE PUNISHED. GHANAIANS PLEASE PASS MY REGARDS TO KING ABED PELE THE ONLY MAN WHO HAS PLAYED FOOTBAL IN GHANA.
To be honest with you my ghanaian brothers i love you and because i love you ill tell you the truth. You are one of the best football nations in africa but at the moment you are not better than Ivory Coast, Zambia and Egypt. The truth is that only Andre Ayew and kevin prince boateng are good players in your squad. The rest are useless. Zambia has now produced a generation of soccer players who are “mad”. Our boys are so crazy they can even beat teams like England, France, Uruguay, Chile and Portugal. Though Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Germany are much better than us we can give them real headaches. I sometimes become surprised to see useless boys like kwado asamoah attracting Man Utd. Kalaba has way more talent than him. Only Andre Ayew can match chisamba Lungu otherwise your wingers cannot compete with chisamaba lungu. Domminic Addiya and Jordan Ayew look like midgets with no idea what they are doing. The international media dont know we have produced one of the greatest african teams africa will ever see that is why we are underrated. But believe under our captain chris katongo we have a team that fears no one and is currently better than ghana.
@john–you son of a whore,you are loving mingling with us GHANAIANS.yOU are pigs .
Hai wena opoka SA.dnt put SA in to this they Are nt match Against zambia.Zambia is the power house OF soccer In SADC.Probably u a foreigner in Mzansi frm Ghana.go bk 2Kumuzi o kwa manzi …Wt eva u call ur town or Village..LIV SADC COUNTRIES ALONE U WEST AFRCN PUPPETS…Go Zambia.One Blood
@Stembiso such people like don’t need to comment here because this is forign website, and for your information come to josi without ghanians and nigerias zambia are dieing of hunger only robbing and fake cds is thier profession. Uphambene
I fear for ghana. We have ridiculous talent. You guys talk of christian atsu. The boy atsu is good but we have Bruce Musakanya the 18 year old wonder kid currently on trial at FC Porto. We have 19 yr old emmnauel mbola at FC Porto who is regarded by many in europe as one of the best left backs in the world under the age of 23. We have kids like ronald kampamba and evans kangwa in our local league who are destined to be stars. We lost our team in the plane crash but now we are back. God has felt sorry for us and blessed us with ridiculous talent. All the boys ive mentioned except mbola cant even get into the first 23 of the national team but they are considered as wonderkids and are our future.
I dont know when these zambians signed a contract with stupidity. U beat uruguay at d junior level and so what? When ghana won the world u-20 cup in 2009 do you know the calibre of teams we played n beat? We hav all played 2 games and we are ahead of you in the group standings so what is your problem? As to whether sudan will allow you to take the 2nd position is another issue. Are you aware that ghana has always been beatin sudan in their own backyard? Yet u wer trounced by dis same team. Just accept the fact that u have an average team with average players who are yet to make any marks in their careers irrespective of the fact that they are older than most of our players. Essien/chelsea, john mensah/lyon, prince boateng/milan n asamoah gyan are not playin but we stil have a quality team comparable to only cote divoire.
That Ghanaian team which won the world cup should not have been referred to as Under 20 but Under 30, You Fool!!!!!!!!!!!! Age cheaters and thats why ayew is on the slope of his career. He is an old man for God’s sake.
Because you gave birth to him so you know he is an old man.
Ayew was born to a French mother in France where personal data cannot be twisted.
Please, next time write something with some sense and substance
Age cheaters,you lie playing in a so called under something tournaments.If u men enough win it at senior level.
You fool, mo wonder Essien has a knee which does not heal because of age cheating. That knee could have healed at completely at his age. He should be in his mid thirties according to a scan on his bones.
And for ur information, no one bothers about zambia here. We are concerned with proven n tested rivals like nigeria, cameroun n senegal. These are the teams which we respect because of their pedigree n talents. But not a team of 11 men who wont come out to play you even in their own home grounds. If u say u can play fine football, why dont you do so against us?
what title has senegal won?
it amuses me that at this time and age a normal person will make fun of people living with HIV. This is in human at its best. so I urge @Ghana thru n thru ” to think twice. u know if u ate not infected u are affected .i am so sure u fall either way. …iys a fact Ghana HiV status is above 400,000……its a fact that Ghana govt..has engaged several donors to fight the disease ….Zambia HIV is even lower…key me nit dwell on that lets stop stigima.we ve to fight this disease as a team . who knows…maybe itself or ur close relative ..sibling will be in it…lets conquer this disease as a team . its not football…we ve to fight it…..
Zambia lost the game 0-2 to Sudan so why should they get 3 points? They did not score a single goal. Sudan should lose the three points but it should not go to Zambia. It was wrong of Sudan to field an ineligible player but that does not justify Zambia getting 3 points.
Oh my God, what a shame.I wonder why any ghanaian would respond to Zambia FA veep if he says his team will qualify for the World Cup.We shouldn’t expect him to say anything contrary. And to those Zambians writing here I really like your comments.You can beat Uruguay that are South American champions.Seriously?
Its seems the three (free) points that may be given to Zambia is giving a headech to Ghana!!!! Well if given we will receive it with both hands but as our veep has said we will not rely on that. We mean business,we fear no one including ghana.Eevn if you beat us in kumatsi dont expect us to fear you next time. Sudan must pay for their stupidity,we actually knew b4 the game and allowed them so that in case we loose we use against them. Do you see how zambians are smart. Right now we r busy frustrating Ghana fans so that you put ur players under pressure and allow kalaba to penetarte!!! Renard says ‘FOOTBAL IS WON FAR FAR AWAY B4 THE GAME’
idiot
Wat are u guys going to do in Brazil with ur outmoded style of play? Do u think W/C is an african football? Nkwasias3m ara kwa kwa.

Ghanaians pay respect to chipolopolo what the hell is wrong with you? Fellaz!
Zambians will bring total disgrace to african football is they go to world cup
The truth will set us free,Black Stars was outplayed in Zambia n the Chipolopolo cud ‘ve easily scored at least 4 if their strikers were sharp that day ,i was there n saw it myself,we only played last 15 mins but Zambia was on top.
ghanians are black dogs, i never knew they where this fambukulu. idiots.idiots.idiots, they r even insulting the zambian FA veep for what, what u idiots should know is that your juju expired in 1982 when you last won the afcon.. fools fools fool
AFTER failing to get satisfaction from accosting Tunisian referee Med Kordi on the new Levy Mwanawasa Stadium pitch in Ndola at the weekend, the vanquished Ghana’s Black Stars took their frustrations to their dressing room.
The Ghanaians trashed the room with all sorts of garbage, leaving the place a total mess to sum up their anger of losing twice to the Chipolopolo in four months.
In February this year, Zambia knocked Ghana in the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations. Despite the stadium staff providing litter bins in the dressing rooms, the Ghanaian players opted to flood the floor with water, toilet tissues and banana peels.
A bathing tower from Moba Hotel in Kitwe where the Black Stars were lodging was also found dumped behind the dressing room lockers.
The mess was discovered by stadium staff after the Ghanaians had left for Kitwe following the 0-1 loss._”It’s unbelievable that the (Ghanaian) players whom we thought were civilized could leave such a mess in the dressing room.
We expected them to behave well despite losing here. How can they just throw things around like that,” a disappointed worker at the stadium, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
Earlier, after the final whistle, the Ghanaian players had vented their anger on Kordi, whom they accused of poor officiating, and the police officers had a torrid time before calm returned on the pitch. However, the Ghanaians claimed their midfielder Derek Boateng and unused striker Benjamin Acheampong were punched by Zambia security personnel in a post-match melee. The Ghana Football Association (GFA), who have threatened to report the incident to the Confederation of African Football, also complained that their officials were not allowed entry into the VIP lounge and made to sit amidst Zambian fans.
And Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili said it was unfortunate that the Ghanaians were blaming referee Kordi for the 1-0 defeat, the goal scored by skipper Christopher Katongo to get Zambia’s campaign back on track.
Kambwili, however, counselled Ghana officials and players in an interview after the thrilling Group D match watched by a capacity crowd saying the Black Stars should learn to concede defeat and give credit where it is due instead of giving scapegoats. “It’s unfortunate that the Ghanaians have kind of protested against the referee when you all saw that the referee was fair. There is no mistake that the referee made except that he handled the game professionally.
“So, they must just accept that they have lost, and when you lose you accept that you have lost without putting blame on anybody,” Kambwili said. The
minister said the Chipolopolo’s victory had vindicated his earlier statement made after a shock 2-0 defeat to Sudan in Omdurman when he said that the African champions would bounce back against Ghana. “I told the whole world when I was interviewed last week that losing the first game was not the end of the world. And true to our word, we are African champions and we will continue to be African champions, we cannot be scared of any team. “And usually a bad beginning makes a very good ending. So you can see that Zambia’s style of play and the level of play is extremely impressive and that the sky is the limit for the Zambia national soccer team, he said.
Why? are submitting a long essay as part of the requirements to obtain a Zambian degree? Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa LOL
So you had time to type all these rubbish. Get a life boy
I hope Quincy, n Dede play in our next match against Zambia n see what the scoreline writes. It has to be a thrashing moment! Thank you Zambia for waking us up.
We have always beaten you 4rom way back in the 70s n we still yo masters to this day ,ask Opoku Nti,Tony Yeboah ask them wat they know about THE MIGHTY KK11..
ONLY MAD PEOPLE RESPOND TO MAD PEOPLE.
NO MATTER WHAT GHANA DOES, ZAMBIA WAS AND IS STILL BETTER AND WE MUST BE HUMBLE IN COMMENT TIL THAT DAY WHERE TIME TELL
bbe, i dont insult cause i am gracious even in defeat u r better but as to whethr u will be by then
@ Opoku in sa. its you who is the foreigner. zambians and south africans are one people. we are all BANTU. and fyi west africans steal zambian passports because we dont need visas, any zambian can wake up in the morning and decide to go to sa. and fyi, most zambians go to sa for business and return home. we are not like west africans who deal in drugs and crime. yes they are zambians, who are criminals but they are a minority.
And which Uruguay are you talking about? the one that Zambia beat? you are busy talking about that Zambia cant beat Spain. the same Spain with xavi, alonso, casillas that drew with Zambia in 99? that spain? as for ghanas under 20 victories yaw preko, baffoe have all admited that you guys cheat. 12 members of your under 17 squad failed an mri scan just last week. damn, thats the entire squad! continue talking about your age cheating under 17, 20 and 23 victories.
typical fooool. dont compare U-20 level football to senior level. have you forgotten we beat you by 4 goals to 1 dat same year? the priority of most of these white teams are the senior level competitions. so are you saying that alonso, xavi and casillas have not improved since nigeria 1999? its nonsensical for you to compare world class spain to a team like zambia which has never even qualified for a world cup. even mighty brazil and argentina are wary of spain how much more common zambia.I thought you will rather applaud oor FA for introducing a mechanism to prevent age cheating unlike zambia. For your information kumasi asante kotoko was voted the african club of the century. http://www.iffhs.de/?c813f0e03790c443e0f40390b41be8b01f05fdcdc3bfcdc0aec70aeedb883dcfc5ff0b. this should tell u abt ghana’s pedigree.
bbe i tried getting on zamfoot but i encountered hitces. i would had apologized on behalf on ghanaians and promise to do so even if we fail to beat u or qualify. promise me same and its deal
Lmao…the Zambia Veep said its their time because they won the African championship…winning African Championship doesn’t give u a spot to be part of the world cup…u guys should grow some balls because u guys won’t make it because the African and world known soccer nation ghana will make it…sorry Zambians
Guyz check out this nonsense by our ex international and FA http://t.co/gKdVtiu4
@Anan, thanks bro its good to be honest I checked out that article about ghanaian under 17 and 20 age cheating, its a shame but the guy was honest
@Ghanaian thru n’ thru, IDIOT
U ghanians why are u hatin on us we beat u clean game with ur useless gyan’s, ayew’s no wonder y balotelli refused to play 4 u bafikala. Idiots
After all is said and done, we will see who carries the day. I know our threat Zambia will come with own gen-sets or candles just in case we run out of kerosine for stadium lights. We need to buy more slashers for our overgrown grass. No hide and seek. Our team must take the oversize jerseys for adjustments b4 the Zambia game. My word it costed us dearly against them. We sagged too much and too weak to run against the quick Zambians.
Are Zambians villagers? What the hell is wrong with this country? Even Egypt did not behave this way after they won several cups. These are the fixtures. Essien, Ayew and Gyan were not even in the fold. Why are they stupidly screaming. The next fixture is in 2013.

I used to think highly of Zambia but I didn’t know they were that STUPID.
Ghana is like music to my ears n i just hope we meet u again in South Africa so that we get the record straight.
How a team that got beaten by Sudan make this much noise, it is beyond my thinking. How a team that are behind my country on the table make this much noise, I do not know. Did Zambia just start playing football?
first and for most,lets look at head to head btn zambia and ghan.when it comes to cups,ghana is better than zambia.off course ghana has won da afcon 4times against one time zambia.but btn da two coutries,they hv met 9 times in a compentive matches both da world cup afcon of da 9 meeting ghana hv only won 4time and zambia hv won 5times.da previous meeting at levy mwanawasa was da first time these teams where meeting in da world cup.da last time ghana won a match in a competive match was i n 1992 by a goal to nil.dat goal came from da of ayew dede.now u can imagine 1992,yr hv pasd.in my conclusion i see zambia defeating ghana at there own backyard.i see da dorminace of zambia over continuing over da coming yrs.
We must accept other peoples views without insulting but reasoning well. Blogs like this one has just started. They wasnt any in the 90s.
We are the Champions of Africa. We beat Ghana last time we kicked a football. Surely, we have the bragging rights. Ghanaians, go back to the drawing board. Otherwise the 1 nil score lines will continue. And hey, be civilised.
And where are you on the table? Are Zambians stupid?
the ones who are stupid are ghanians and you are the BIGGEST of them all, if THE GREAT MOTHER ZAMBIA has beaten you all these competitions, and you dont see them anywhere on the table, where do you put yourselves? answer my questions yhen you know who the stupid ones are! LOSER
I am sure the bloggers who are trading in insults must be young.The game of football must strengthen the long standing friendship between the two countries.I was taught by three ghanain teachers Mr Obeng addo,Mr Dunfeh and Mr James Bonya papuna.I cannot today insult any people from Ghana just because of football.I fondly remember how Mr James Bonya papuna(MHSRIP) consoled our class after Abedi Ayew Pele destroyed Zambia at the 1992 Afcon.
There is really no friendship between the two.
AND ZAMBIA DESTROYED GHANA IN 96 AFCON IN SOUTH AFRICA.IT WAS A JOEL BWALYA THUNDER BOLT THAT RELEGATED ABEDE PELES CAPTAINED BLACK STARS TO 4TH PLACE.CHIPOLOPOLO CAME THIRD IN THAT EDITION.
My brothers!! Why do you react when you & I obviously identifies that these guys are just desperate!!!!! They are coming to Ghana so if they think they can beat us there that is their good fortune other than the doubt which is still fresh in my memory whether they can achieve that!!!! The minister himself knows that they are not there yet even if they win that 3 points!!!! You are dealing with the Black Stars not a common team that you have to make that propaganda campaign and threats!! Even though you’ve triumph twice, many months is ahead of us to continue with where we stopped and who knows whether Sudan may even break off from her current tight spot and win ahead of both country’s?? Everybody just calm becaue there are many months ahead!!
U a doctor?? Doctor of black magic i guess!!!! Zimoto in Zambia means hell fire!!!!!!!!!!! Desperate for what Mr Dr Traditional healer???? Have u forgotten that ur also dealing with Chipolopolo??? Oh my God beaten twice and ur still stubborn??? Continue bragging, we will just continue beating u and u will kip giving excuses. Jacob Mulenga is now fully fit!!! Do u know him??? Nay… C U in Kumasi!!!1
Tell them my brother ,Jacob Mulenga is back n he comes back with the goals..Ba Ghana mwanya ku accra.
Ghana shud knw best than any other team that Zambia can bite. The final qualifiers for 1988 olympics saw the Black Stars losing 2-0 in Lusaka. We cudnt reverse that score and Chipolopolo went on to make history reaching the quarter finals of Seoul olympics. Let’s just watch our mouths.
iyee chipolopolo iyee chipolopolo
always braging for nonesnse,,,, stupid fooooooooolsssssssss. bl….k st…..r?
“Ati Ghana will beat Zambia 4 nil in semi finals” (without apologies)without appologies you further claim “Ghane will revenge and imbalance Zambia in their own backyard” bla.. bla.. bla Its this kind of nonsense talk that makes Zambia beat u at will.Thy will play soccer like they have never played football before. I have warned u b4 Ghana, and i repear.If you want to beat Zambia JUST GIVE THEM RESPECT.EVEN fake one.FULLSTOP. you underate them again they will beat u even in your blackout stadium.We respect you Ghana but learn to respect african giants killers too.
stupid and fucked up zambians…. don’t u know that u can’t compare Iniesta, who has won World best once, with Lionel Messi, who has won the title three or so times? in the same way, you can’t compare zambia, who has won the title once with Ghana who has won the title four times. what will zambians do and say on this site, if they were Egypt? i wonder..
