Made in RSA

Indeed , i supported Zambia because of the PSL ties. People forget South Africa won the cup even if it was like 17 years ago :lol:

Fail not talking about current . Nigeria got no room to talk either, that scoreline prediction is very laughable.

Nope..it's worth a sure long punt.

Ok I admit, maybe I overdid it...howbout:

Nigeria 2 SA 1

Very, very realistic there.

South African diski has to step up a lot..there's a lot of quality in the PSL (I should know, sometimes I see some games on Supersport) but so far it hasn't been translated to Bafana.

Pipa · Feb 14, 2012

With so much quality Ivory Coast still lost..
Congrats to all Zambians.

GreatKalu · Feb 14, 2012

Thanks everyone. The cup is in Lusaka. Unbelievable!

Corzioli · Feb 14, 2012

You've only got one year to keep it buddy..that's because you won't be able to DEFEND it in South Africa. Ha. :tongue:

Not with all the fallen giants around.

Plus the stakes are much higher..whoever wins reps Africa in the Confederations Cup in Brazil, June '13. So it won't be fun and games this time.

Lol. Sorry man. Didn't mean to raise a few tempers. We finally disagree on something

I'm too happy to fight, so I hope RSA does well and recovers from the setback.

thats right. Underestimate us again

Wonder when qualifications begin. Got to look up the groups. Have they been drawn already?

Corzioli · Feb 14, 2012

I think so, haven't checked..I remember reading that in one of the sports papers though.

And that's not me underestimating you guyz, that's just plain stating the /fahct.

Corzioli · Feb 14, 2012

This should help.

GreatKalu · Feb 15, 2012

Ah, so the groups haven't been drawn a of yet.

Somehow I like the chances of the copper bullet over a super eagle this time around. Be warned, you may get shot down

Ps. Here's another good one; the black star failed to shine, its black. Black doesn't shine

Lame, I know

I couldn't care less about the RSA after the whole points debacle :fp:

Wanted Zambia to win ,played the best football IMO , Katongo :eek:

Enjoy the moment

Wait, how do you want to shoot down an Eagle with an old-fashioned copper bullet? A bolt-reload air rifle? FAIL.

And it's not just an Eagle, it's a Super Eagle. You wouldn't dare. :lol:

A black star (black hole) is the remains of a DEAD star..what did they expect?? :tongue:

Y-Bido92 · Mar 21, 2012

Just you guys wait till Egypt is back to dominate this continent again!!!

GreatKalu · May 5, 2012

I don't doubt it. Egypt have a fantastic football tradition. Their teams may not have starz, but they have a lot of character and belief. Their tactics and organization are also perhaps the best on the continent. Its just a pity they never get through to the world cup.

But the present is ZAMBIA ... CHIPOLOPOLO! Hard group to get to the Brazil 2014, with the Ghanaians particularly bitter over their Semi Final exit. Coach Renard has said that he will quit if he fails to lead Zambia to their maiden world cup, so I'm kinda hoping we get there. Like his white shirts :proud:

rashidi yekini RIP

was a great person and an awesome footballer at setubal

GreatKalu · May 5, 2012

Rip. Nigeria's top scorer, iirc.

Sven · May 6, 2012

RIP

Will always remember that celebration

WC 94

Argentina, Greece, Bulgaria and Nigeria. My favourite group.

What happened to Yekini?

I read he had "mental illness"... Not sure the cause exactly.

Indeed it was the best group.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup_Group_D
I love to remember this stuff

Just figured it's the second time this week I post a pic of goal celebration of this group :lol:

crazy4milan · May 6, 2012

RIP.

I do remember that group well, that one and Italy, Ireland, Mexico (+ Norway) group called my attention (Italy, Ireland and Mexico for the similar flags...that resulted in similar points).

But group D I mean a) Argentina: Batistuta's lion hair, Cannigia, Redondo, Maradona and his coked up celebration and the scandal. b) Bulgaria: Stoichkov (I dunno why as a child Stoichkov + Hagi sounded to me as huuuuuuge stars, and I loved their last names), Ivanov (ugly as hell). c) Nigeria, Yekini's celebration, Sunday Oliseh (best name ever), Finidi George, Rufai (actually Rufai didn't become epic to me till the 98' WC and his showdown with Zubizarreta) and their uniform. d) Greece: the hair of like 3 players of theirs, they were really bad overall though lol.

Sven · May 6, 2012

Romania's group (Switzerland, Colombia, USA) + Italy's group also called my attention at the time. Sweden as a whole too... I watched Romania x Sweden quarter final recently, it was an awesome game.

Maradona, Batistuta and Caniggia (nobody cares about Balbo) must be the coolest attack to ever play a World Cup. Too much for FIFA to handle

not for me :fp:

GreatKalu · May 7, 2012

That 94 nigeria squad barely beat zambia in the 94 afcon final. Lesd than a year after the Gabon air disaster. Prior to this year's edition, zambia were the most successful country to never win the afcon. it was due ...

That same nigerian squad was banned from entering the 96 edition, for reasons I cannot recall. zambia looked like favourites up until the semis, where we went out to tunisia who in turn lost to rsa in the final. Egypt resumed dominance two years later.

R.I.P. Rashidi Yekini

My True Consolation for his family and especially his mother

GreatKalu · May 26, 2012

Really happy for Didier ... BUT ...

Sign him

!!!

GreatKalu · Jun 1, 2012

Zambian players who could do well in Europe ...

1) Nathan Sinkala :star:

- 21
2) Emmanuel Mbola - 19
3) Emmanuel Mayuka :star:

-21
4) Chisamba Lungu - 21
5) Sunzu :proud:

- 22 (always smiling too

)

Biggest hindrance would be language ... and something of a culture shock (Pato dating the boss' daughter for example). But with the right management, I can see these guys doing well in especially and English speaking environment.

GreatKalu · Jun 1, 2012

World Cup qualification begins now. Renard has said that he will quit if Zambia fail to qualify for Brazil 14. I like him

First match is ... a home game against a fired up Ghanaian side. Difficult, but I have faith.
