Zambia are not African Chanpions for nothing or by luck,Uganda will have to attack and that will leave them open at the back, it will surely be a god game and sadly we will have to break the hearts of the cranes at there home ground

This is a wake up call for Zambia. Herve Renard Uganda contributed to your being booted out of Angola when Angola lost 3 – 0 in Uganda., prepare the team adquately and make Zambia qualify for the AFCON 2013. It cant be a championship without the holders.
