Wow my word! Just missed the event by few minutes. No team is underdog at this stage, but Chipolopolo must carry the day. I am relieved to the core! Thank God! I also bet for Malawi. Ghana will have to sweat if they have to go through the flames of Malawi. Angola versus Zim in unpredictable. Botswana and Mali, good luck to the Zebras.

Chipolopolo means copper bullet. It is the same bullet which killed or should I say crashed the elephants. If you doubt, ask Drogba. What can fail the copper bullets who are the major share holders of the man made crane not to beat them. When chipolopolo cames for the second match with 3 points at hand, they will remove copper components from the crane and we shall see how the so called the crane will work.

Fair Draw but sorry for Ivory Coast, Senegal, Algeria and Libya. Two of them will miss the AFCON 2013. Malawi ensure that you engulfy the BLACK JUJU’s. Just learn some few tricks from Zambia in a serious friendly game before you play Ghana and we shall tell you the secrets.
We need a friendly game against Uganda’s neighbour Kenya or Rwanda before taking on them.

We need to take Uganda seriously like the statement issued by Ghana in their preparation against Malawi that it will be playing any big team we know.Under estimating them would be disastrous on our part.Go Zambia GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
