Zambia is afraid to lose tomorrow against Burkina Faso, and therefore not to be qualified for the quarter-finals of the Afcon, and thus to lose its title of world African champion.

Suddenly, the football federation has decided to financially motivate its “stars”. The victory bonus originally 8500 dollars (5940 Euros) was swelled by the government to 11,500 dollars or 8,168 Euros!

The Chipolopolo have two draws against Ethiopia (1-1) and Nigeria (1-1). Would a little more money motivate the team?
