Its ZAMBIA, IVORY COAST In AFCON FINALE
Zambia celebrates victory after beating Ghana 1-0
Zambia will play Ivory Coast in AFCON Final. Ivory Coast on Wednesday 8th January beat Mali 1-0.
A brilliant individual goal from Gervinho put Ivory Coast in the African Nations Cup final as they beat Mali 1-0 in their semi-final on Wednesday.
Gervinho flicked the ball past defender Ousmane Berthe with a deft back heel and then sprinted 30 metres into the opposing penalty area to score just before half-time.
It was a magical goal that brought to life a toughly-contested game in which both tired-looking teams battled to find any rhythm.
The win means the Ivorians will met Zambia in Sunday’s final in Libreville.
Zambia beat Ghana 1-0 in an upset in the other semi-final earlier on Wednesday in Bata, Equatorial Guinea, which is co-hosting the tournament with Gabon.
Ivory Coast proved too powerful in the end for their fellow West Africans and might have won by a bigger margin.
Didier Drogba hit the crossbar early on with a ball off the back of his head and a thunderous shot from Yaya Toure in the 16th minute also rattled the woodwork.
Mali were restricted to long-range shooting, with their midfield talisman Seydou Keita proving largely ineffective.

It is actually good that we are meeting one of Africa’s strong side so that we show all critiques that we are a force to reckon with. An elephant will definitely fall. Bravo Chipolopolo

Pr 8:13 The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
Pr 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace; but wisdom is with the humble.
Pr 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Pr 21:24 The proud, haughty person, named “Scoffer,” acts with arrogant pride.
Pr 29:23 A person’s pride will bring humiliation, but one who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

WHO HAS A DOUBLE DECKER BUS WITH AN OPEN TOP IN ZAMBIA? WE NEED IT TO CELEBRATE BY DRIVING OUR BOYS AROUND ALL MAJOR CITIES WITH THE AFCON CUP. AM TELLING YOU WE’RE GETTING IT. AND HERE’S WHY:
1. GEVINHO, DROGBA, THE TOURES AND KALOU WILL NOT BE MANNING THE GAOL POST – SCORING IS OUR BEST STRENGTH, SO WE’LL PUMP THEM!!
2. WE STILL HAVE PLAYERS ON THE BENCH, WHOM THE OPPONENT HAS NEVER SEEN OR HAS NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT.

Let us all thank God for this victory. One step at a time sweet Jesus. Do not let us be proud as to forget you but celebrate joyfuly knowing very well that you have already given us the trophy. What remains is just to stretch our hands and pick it. The devil might tie our hands to prevent us picking up the trophy but am sure the string will even be weaker than that of okra.

The Bible says those who Honouable themselves will be uplifted and those who proud themselves will be honouabled, I ‘m sure those Soccer Analysist from South Africa have something to learn from these developments.

We have waited for too long; Finally we have made it to the final. Big names will not have any effect on our game plan: No, not in Africa. Once we block any passes going to Gevinho, Drogba and Kalou then victory is assured.
Wec are determined, focused, confident, self-belief and resilient enough to shoot down the elephants.
God is on our side, as we honour our fallen heros.
Go Zambia, Go
