Mangaung, South Africa – E be like say Zambia no sabi wetin dem dey do again as Comoros fit to shun dem 1-0 for di opening match of di 2025 HOLLYWOODBETS COSAFA Cup.
Dis match happen for Toyota Stadium on Friday, and e no be funny matter at all as di Chipolopolo boys don start di tournament with serious wahala. People don dey wonder wetin dey happen to di team, wey supposed to show say dem na football heavyweight for dis tournament. But alas, dem fall hand!
Di Comoros boys no come to play as dem score di only goal for di 31st minute. Ibrahim Madi head di ball from Ahmed Haslane’s free kick, and na him make dem control di match. No be dem go dey shake shakey for field; dem carry di day! Comoros don dey blend well, and if dem continue dis way, dem fit surprise many people again.
Last year, dem reach semi-finals wey be dem best performance, and if dis opening match na any indication, dem dey on track to repeat di magic. As for Zambia, e be like say dem dey face group stage exit for di second edition in a row. Na wah oh! Di defeat don extend Zambia’s longest losing streak for dis competition to four games. Na four shame dey follow dem from last year competition, and dem no wan separate from am.
Next match go be Super Saturday, with three banging matches wey dey planned for di same Toyota Stadium. Mozambique go try maintain dem 1-0 win against South Africa as dem waka come meet Mauritius wey manage hold Zimbabwe to 0-0 draw for dia first game. Na true match day vibes be dis!
But make we talk am true, wetin go fit change for Zambia? Dem need work on dem game sharp sharp if dem wan avoid more wahala for di tournament. Coach Avram Grant need take heart, because di boys need motivation wey no just be about money, but di spirit of football too! How dem wan play for national team when unpaid allowances dey follow dem like shadow? Pastor Mweemba dey try explain di koko, but di message no dey stick well.
In conclusion, di ball don start to roll, and Zambia need wake-up call. Maybe dem go need palm wine for relaxation, but ball e go still require serious passion. Emotions high, but dem still need to show say dem fit carry di weight of 20 million people wey dey put their hope inside dem. Omo, no be joke again!
