hope ivory coast win and lift the trophy Drogba is the king as always

Cote d'Ivoire can't play football.Forget it I see Zambia beating them tomorrow and in fact the likes of Didier,Kolo and Yaya Toure are just spent force.Shame on Cote d'Ivoire......

With all the respect to the Elephants but this trophy is for our fallen heroes. Its time for their spirit to rest. We are about to connect the old and new team.Once this happens of which will, Africa and the World beware!!!

Yo yo yo happy hobos!!!
My money is on Zambia because they are solid at the back but can counterattack really well. Mayuka and Katongo are very talented players.

The two finalists are worthy champions. the constellation of disciplined stars with an amazing tactical display which is what the Didier Drogba led elephants of Cote d' voire represents, a side that is yet to concede a goal after five matches against a very determined,youthful and equally motivated Chipolopolo of Zambia will certainly set up one of the best finals of ANC. I can't wait to watch and witness the new Champions of Africa after nearly a nearly of the Pharaoh's dominance. I think the duo of capt. fantastic katongo and Mayuka and gang will offer a stiff and sizeable challenge to Didier, Gervinho and the toures. Besides my heart goes for the young guns of Zambia but my guts tells me that experience will carry the day. An impressive tournament without the regular giants!!!

its so sad i cant see the african cup if was any thing eles espn . fox would have shown it

life is unpredictable...but Zambia is doing the impossible,it can carry the day.

it's surely Zambia's time...n rightly so...and the !!gods are in their favor

am now a ZAMBIAN CITIZEN
am out of MALAWI

Zambia for sure.These Katongo led team is full of heart. Look at their dimunitive size against the rest. yet they take it to them. Ivory coast just has a horde of players plying their trade in europe, their cohesion is not beyond reproach. Go Zambia.

Now you the fans of Ivory Coast national soccer team should beginning to take me serious when I make predictions.i did predict that the likes of Yaya,didier and co are just jokers and when it comes to the real thing,they will be caged and tossed around.

Celebrate the new super power of Africa Football,Zambia impresed me alot and every soccer loving fan out there will certainly agree with me.

congratulations the Copper bullets.I knew from the word go that Zambia will carry the day. Being experienced in the game of football to me does not matter. Teyapa lelo tuli ba Champion.Shame upon those people who regarded Zambia to be underdogs.God bless Zambia. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a BANTU am proud of the Chipolopolos, Mayuka am hoping to meet you again at our barbers shop( fine boy corner) n Bern..This was great and unity was seen n you..Ivory trade should be burned n Africa..thats the messegeto the world..

Football insnt all about experience, but, discipline, determination, cordination. The likes of Katongo, Mayuka, Felix, Isaac, and Kalaba should be encouraged. Ivory Coast had more experienced and good players, but lacked enthusiasm.
No (CCCC) CORDINATION WITHOUT CO-OPERATION CAUSES CONFUSION. Not where Zambian players were said to be good starters but poor finishers.
Wel done boys!

Watch out the space, Zambia is now going to were it belongs, top 5 in Africa.Who said that Zambia are underdogs. No way. Zambians do not have to play in top Europeans clubs to be the best. Just look at the team that perished in 1993, all of them were playing in Zambia and yet we were the top team in Africa them. GO ZAMBIA GO.

IT IS NOW TIME FOR ZAMBIA TO DOMINATE AFRICAN SOCCER.

Hearty congratulations to CHIPOLOPOLO BOYS.

The fisrt penalty at 70min was very unfair to the zambians. Thank God Drogba missed it. The third penalty taken by Bamba (Ivory Coast) during the shootouts was a shame on the linesman and the referees. There was totally no need to retake it. The heart and feelings of the referees were with the Ivory Coast team, but God was for the Zambian team. The referee for this march should be investigated. He didn't act professionally. Anybody could see that.

I dnt remember an athletic elephant.its clear the smart chipolopolo won the Game before theY even played match.Welcome dear Elephant,wecome to the world of african made football. next time

i'll tell this great story to everyone,my children,my granchildren,my neighbours,my friends coz i was there,I KNOW

Congratulation goes to the Zambia National Football team. I have never felt so proud to be a Zambian that I displayed the Zambian Flag on my front leaving room window. The team is made of players that play there football in Africa and this same team beat a team that had 90% of their players who feature in the English premier side. United Kingdom.

referees always favour the favourites – look at Man United – they lifted trophy after trophy on disproportionate decisions – this is what makes our earth bizzare

Many ,many congratulations,makorokoto,amhlope to Chipolopolo,Copperbullets 4 eventually becoming African Champions.Indeed mighty Zambia had a date with destiny on Gabonese soil & duly delivered thus giving a final,fitting tribute to18 finest ,gallant ,fallen Zambians who died in midair disaster on April 27,1993 .The young ,energetic Zambian side made sure on Gabonese soil that they didnt die in vain by producing a valiant victory against the much vaunted Ivorian Elephants.Tribute,bravo,kudos to the astute ,meticulous French gaffer Herve Renard,King Kalusha Bwalya 4 his sound adminstration &foresight .Last but not least Congratulations too to the heroic people of Zambia,19 years ago Africa mourned with u&19 years later Africa is rejoicing /ululating with u !

dider who??????he needs to rest now.its not about where u play,,its about who wants it the most n we got it.chipolopolo

A team that will not our African hope to the world stage and always shockingly fumble and disgraced will not be thought of to win the African continent`s cup.So Cote D`ivoire is not deserving of the trophy.So give it to Zambia who will never give us hope and could surprise the odds.

I was extremely disgusted &appalled by the conduct of the Senegalese referee during the Final.Can the corrupt,inept CAF explain how they ended up with having a West African referee when the final consisted of a West African team & a Southern Africa team?????????.After all Zambia had beaten Senegal in the group stages 2-1.CAF wld like us to believe that Senegalese referee was impartial??????.That Senegalese referee was biased towards the Elephants,he made dubious decisions firstly by awarding that 70th minute penalty to Ivory Coast&that penalty retake after the Zambian goalie had initially saved the spotkick.African football is full of corruption &injustice most of the injustice has been meted out on Southern,Eastern&Central African teams by referees from North &West Africa.The corrupt ,docile CAF Boss ,ISSA HAYATOU has been presiding at CAF on a foundation built on North&West Africa hegemony.The progressive football pple in Africa would like to see the back of Hayatou who has been at the helm of CAF since 1988.It is certainly hightime 4 real football people like Kalusha Bwalya,Abedi Ayew,Anthony Yeboah,George Oppong Weah ,Bruce Grobbelaar,Danny Jordaan,Lucas Radebe to assume the Presidency at CAF .
