Unexpected Zambia Nets AFCON Final

February 8th, 2012 | by: chris | Comments Off

Odds before the tournament of Zambia making it to the AFCON final probably weren’t particularly high – they’ve never won and have only been to two finals, the last nearly twenty years ago. ELO has them 56th in the world, but for all intents and purposes, they’ll be at least second on the continent come Sunday after Emmanuel Mayuka’s goal against Ghana today, cementing their late upset. (They’ll face the Ivory Coast. Anyone surprised? Hands?)

And of course, it was polished off with flawless team dancing.
