This is a clear case of gud preparation,good coaching, nd proper motivation. I am glad.

No be this Zambia team Nigeria beat 2-0 before this tournament?

I'm happy for them

:/

Congrats to ZAMBIA!

Very hard fighting people.

How many of the Zambian players play abroad?

nonononononononono!

Names don't win AFCON these days but team does ! Since 2000, AFCON has been won by teams whose bulk of their players play their trade on African soil. I hope our coach will continue their opportunty given to our home based players and prepare them for the next AFCON. I pray this eagle flies again !

Good for Zambia. I'm happy for them because it is a great achievement and a national landmark for them. My sympathies to my Ivorien brothers, try again later.

More determined team.

With all the Chelseas and the Man Cities in the other team, the Zambian won.

It is not by names!!Congrats Zambia

Congrats! Chipolopolo(bullets) for shooting down all the ivorien elephants, especially Didier Drogba. May the souls of the '93 plane crash victims continue to rest in peace.
God did really answered your prayers at the crash site of your beloved patriots a day before your final match.
Once again,COngrats!!

Congrats Chippolopolo!!!

zambia rule africa up zambia chipolopolo of african. congrat

All CIV's premier league players lost penalty kick, what a shame.!!!!!

I remember watching this zambia players 5 years ago in youth cup vs nigeria we won them 2 1 and was better 5 years later look at many of that players winning anc despite failing euro tryouts. Morals of the story never let foreign clubs determine your national team selection.

Let's be honest, CIV were a better team as far as football is concerned.

Congrats Zambia. Very well deserved victory.

God has compensated the Zambians, Glory be to God for His compassion on Zambians. (They will replace their cries to laughters!!!)

I think those who claimed to be the "BIG SHOT" in the game of football in Africa better sit down and learn from this event.

EGYPT
NIGERIA
SENEGAL
GHANA
IVORY COAST (CIV)
CAMEROON
MOROCCO
SOUTH AFRICA

you all need to learn what true sportsmanship is all about.

The Dead of Heaven don't sleep , April 1993 memories finally laid to rest

Congrat!!!  Zambia rules africa. I'm inpressed with their performance, it shows that, african football is getting to world standard.
  No underdog in african football again. All the big names watch out because is no longer business as usual.

It was a good final with some good play.

But I think it is important to highlight that the best thing about this very good final match was the refereeing.

Absolute CLASS!

We tend to overlook when the man in the middle does a fabulous job but shout when they make a mistake, talkless of mess up.

Best refereeing I have seen in Africa!

Referee: Badara Diatta (Senegal)

When the Zambian coach was asked aw he thinks he can beat CIV he said and i qoute " it is not necessary to score before you can win the cup". . . . . that was his tactics and the CIV doesnt knw that the guy is ready to take the match to extra time. . . . no body gave them the chance, Pele,Sepp Blatters, Mitchel Platini are culpable , the commentator said and i qoute him that "this is a battle of david and Golliat but low and behold the came out with thier copper bullets and they fire at all cylinders including the almighty star studded eleph-ANTS . . . . .  VIOLA VIVA ZAMBIA . CIV pls come back nxt year  

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 bad news today. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Whitneys Houston's death and the Ivory Coast lost. *Tears* *Sobbing* *Crying* . This is bad!

mtscheeew !!!! how does Whitney Houston come into dis conversation?

. she took flight form heaven niooo

Really really Happy for Zambia yesterday. Was supprting them to win.
I knew they were going to beat Ghana but wasn't sure about Ivory Coast.

All of you blaming Gervinho should shut the hell up. His goal brought his team to the final after all and he also won a penalty for them in the 2nd-half only for Mr Drogba to foolishly blaze it over.

mtscheeew !!!! how does Whitney Houston come into dis conversation?

She is talking about events of the day that affected her, how does Whitney not count as event of the day?

congrat to Zambians once again

Zambia and Ivory Coast are two great teams. Zambia is the AFRICAN team, without any players playing in the so-called EPL that Nigerians are all lalla gaga about. Ivory Coast, even with their foreign brigade, are every patriotic and disciplined, and as a result you see they reached the final.

Look at Zambia's OYIBO coach. He made progress with Angola, then 4 years with this team, and now lifts the cup. Did you guys see how he carried the injured Zambia captain half the field to join the praying teammates. CLASSY and HUMBLE.

I was very proud.

Looks like the last 5 winners of the African Nations cup (Tunisia/Egypt/Egypt/Egypt/Zambia) from 2004 to 2012 have been composed of mainly home/African based players.

So to all the hype and dazzle of Osaze scores 3 goals, and Rabiu Ibrahim signs this and that should sharraap.
