Fans make the trip to Congo

Zambian soccer fans are anxiously making the trip to Congo. If everything goes right, Zambia can clinch a trip to their first ever World Cup finals. With two group games left to play, away to Congo and home for Egypt, the fans are hoping they can wrap it up today. This will not be an easy task. Egypt went into Congo and drew 2-2, so anything is possible. With Congo already being eliminated from World Cup contention, they have nothing to lose. Expect Congo to be attacking from the start.

Zambia can clinch World Cup finals berth if:

Zambia wins @ Congo
AND
Egypt loses vs. Senegal

Zambia are through!

It was surely a sight to be seen. The Zambian players wouldn't leave their circle after the match. They wanted to get the most out of the entire experience. It has been a long journey so far, and the main event is just around the corner. Zambia are going to be competing in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. They are joined by many familiar faces to the month-long tournament, but there were a couple shock non-qualifiers. The Chipolopolo are now just awaiting the World Cup draw. They know they will not be favored by any experts, but it is their job to prove them all wrong and show them how Zambia are ready to compete on the world's biggest stage. The party has started, but don't expect the hard work to end!
