Initially Supersport underrated us but now he Amokachi has now apologised. He was arrogant though saying we took things out of proportion. Thomas Mlambo should not patronise us by saying we are clogging up space on his twitter! via Shalala Oliver Sepiso
Amokachi to address Zambian soccer fans at 20:30hrs. Our cries have been heard! Via CarolRadull on Hello Africa via Shalala Oliver Sepiso
The stir behind the #AmukachiMustGo began from comments made by Former Nigerian Striker Daniel Owefin Amukachi on a Super-Sport AFCON Panel. He was reflecting on the performance of the Zambia National team at the current AFCON 2012, where in my sense, he degraded Zambian players by saying they will be asking for autographs from the Senegalese players from the first game. In the second game against Libya he said Zambian players look like orphans.I understand that the invited panelists by Super-Sport are expected to offer a balance of the teams playing by having support from each team present on the panel. Support or preference for a team is Fine, Criticism towards a team or teams is also Fine. Blasphemy towards a team or teams is unacceptable. I can understand the Zambian team don't have many trophies to their name, they don't have many international players that play in top leagues in the world as compared to other African countries, but I think its wrong to degrade us to the point...
His comments regarding the first game was, "Zambian players would rush for autographs from Senegalese players" and the second game he said "Zambian players look like orphans. He was rediculing Dennis lota throughout the time."
If the Senegalese were older, wiser more established international players, there is nothing humiliating about admiring them and aspiring to their achievements. What he should have then said was ''Now it is the Senegalese players who are going to rush for autographs, and maybe they can give back some of the emeralds they stole from Zambia.'' Monica EisenbergDaniel Amokachi, I personally have respected you for a very long time, because of your exploits on the pitch. But recently you have began to raise questions in my head. First of all I found your attitude on the Samson Siasia issue (where you put in your intentions before he was fired) back stabbing. But that aside, come on man, get objective on Zambia, what issues do you have with us? We wired senegal against your will, and we were not lucky (like you said) to draw with Libya, Libya were lucky to draw with us. What are you trying to do? Impress your wife? I understand Supersport sets you guys on the panel to support...
