Highly jittery about facing a powerful Chipolopolo they have never eliminated from any major championship qualifiers, Ghanaian sports journalists have resorted to lies to try and calm and please their audiences.
For a week now, they have been broadcasting that Zambians have been shaken by the recall of aging and old stars like Michael Essien, Ayew and AC midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng.
In a latest posting, one of Ghana’s leading radio journalists Saddick Adams of Angel FM 96.1 lied that there were massive jubilations in Lusaka and Ndola which went late into the night allegedly to celebrate Mayuka’s goal for Southampton against Barnsley in the Capital One Cup.
Of course no such celebrations but Zambians have been generally happy and pleased that the rising striker and 2012 Africa Cup top scorer has got off the mark in only his second season in England.
What Saddick doesn’t know is that many Zambians did not even watch the match in which Mayuka scored a spectacular and celebrated with “back-flips” as he did when he scored to eliminate Ghana last year at Afcon12.
In fact, the last time Zambians celebrated a Mayuka goal deep into the night was when he silenced a star-studded Black Stars in the semi finals at the 2012 Nations Cup.In his pack of lies, Saddick wrote: “Emmanuel Mayuka became the first Zambian player to score a competitive goal in England and that was even in the Capital One Cup against Barnsley. I hear there were massive jubilations in Lusaka and Ndola deep into the night with many sitting over a beer to celebrate history.”
He continued: “This night Ghana’s Prince Boateng scored two world class goals against UEFA Champions League against PSV Eindhoven. Unfortunately, the average Ghanaian is thinking about the Supreme Court and less about KPB’s goals because we cannot count the number of times that has been done.”
Zambia and Ghana clash next Friday in Kumasi in a winner takes all Group D World Cup qualifier match.

Ghanaians still have a slavish mentality. Pls Slav Coasts, eliminate yourselves from mental slavery and the slave mentality that comes with it. Cant you see that football is won on the pitch and not in your small and useless minds? We are not bothered at all, fact only is that on Friday next week, history will be made. It may be Zambia, or Ghana, but whoever wins this match, it will surely be sweet.

I honestly feel sorry for Ghana because they will be beaten clean by Zambia in their own back yard. I would also like to warn the Ghanaian fans thinking of watching the game to be strong hearted lest some misfortune befalls them. It is Chipolopolo’s time to go Brazil and for sure it is.

Kevin Prince Boateng cannot even speak a native language in Ghana because he is a half cast belonging to Ghana and Germany. This boy has been raised in Europe and they are chickens thats why they are calling on their old cargo. We can celebrate when Mayuka scores because we celebrate our own. Mayuka is a born and bred Zambian and he will make Ghana cry again! Ghana must realise that they are no longer as good as they used to be. Zambia is good and as they say, when you are good you are good.

Mayuka jst wants us to knw that he scored,this is the problem with nt being used to score n being a professional who z jst a benchwamer abroad. It is only a fool who can bank on players like mayuka who are usd as sparewheels abroad…ghana wl shut those big mouths up.

Ghana is a good side, but Chipolopolo is a better side! As for their so called big names, they hold no water coz Chipolopolo have enough ammunition to bring down every black star violating our space. For more information, ask Drogba, kalou, Gevinho, Zokola, Demba ba, Ayew, Yaya toure, Kolo toure, mikel, e.t.c.
Come friday next week, Ghana will be hammered, toutured, bruised, wounded, beheaded, amputated, slashed, enslaved, outplayed, tomented, electrocuted, blinded, humbled, butchered, skinned, stroked and a moment of silence will be declared across the entire west african region! Go mother Zambia! Go mighty Chipolopolo!

Of the just drawn Uefa Champions League drawn teams. Below is a list of Ghanaians and the teams they play for and i am not talking bench warmers with exception of Arsenal’s Emmanuel Frimpong who was not even called for the Zambia game.
JUVENTUS- Kwadjo Asamoah
ANDERLECHT- Frank Acheampong
CHELSEA- Michael Essien
ARSENAL- Emmanuel Frimpong
MARSEILLE- Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew
FC PORTO- Christain Atsu (rumoured to have just signed for Chelsea)
AC MILAN- Kevin Boateng and Sulley Muntari
Ghanaians are not particulaly enthused about this because it’s been like that as far as i can remember. From Abedi’s time at Marseille where he won the Champions league to Osei kuffours time at Bayern Munich where he also won the Uefa CL or Ibrahim Tanko’s time at Dortmund where he also won the Champions league.
My fellow african brothers (Zambia), stop celeberating mediocrity because a Zambian scored in the capital cup. I am not a Zambian and i am offended.

Having played and watched football for 20years, I have concluded one thing…the better half on that particular day takes the day. I have seen favorites getting humilated in so many tournaments. We played and stopped Ivory Coast form winning the Africa cup. Even then we were not the favorites. That day I will get down on my knees and ask God to help my beloved national soccer team qualify to the next round. Like Renard usually says”Theres is no politics in football”. Play well ZAMBIA!!!

Saddik Adams is possessed.He needs deliverence.Is Mayuka’s goal the only one Zambia has ever scored?It ‘s a lie and Zambians must look at that statement with the contempt it deserves.
How is Zambia going to benefit from that goal?Its a misconcemption that emanated from a football lover and should not be used against all the Zambians.
One thing is true though.Zambia must not take this game with kid groves.Ghana has the potential to panel beat us so severely that we would wish we tried fishing if we adopt the Zimbabwe game.Ghana is aggrieved and knows what Zambia is capable of doing,thats why they have to call all the old bones.
Renah,please,this is no time for experiments.If anything,the boys were supposed to camp in one of the countries in North Africa as opposed to South Africa inorder to get acquinted with the weather.
