“We have urged the team not to be complacent and approach the Namibia match with a fierce competitiveness that will ensure Zambia crosses to the quarterfinal.
“On the evidence of the last two matches, we are confident that they will finish the job and sail to the quarterfinals. Winning comprehensively against Namibia has the added incentive of retaining Limbe as the team base for their quarterfinal and hopefully semi-final.
“We can only wish our boys all the best in the game against Namibia.”

Professional sport demands finding an extra edge wherever you can, but the goalkeeper coach of Zambia Super League side Forest Rangers crossed a line that has led to his suspension pending a disciplinary hearing by the country’s football association.
Charles Chileshe was sanctioned after being accused of unsporting conduct in the action of “sprinkling an unknown substance in goal and urinating or simulation of urinating against one of the goalposts” ahead of Saturday’s game at Prison Leopards, a statement from the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) said.

The world s a very different place to what it was 12 months ago, so much so that we seem to spend half our lives spraying anti-bacterial substances over our hands, our workspaces and even our shopping trolleys.
