They also have also reached the semi finals on 3 occasions in 1982, 1990 and 1996.Herve Renard who hails from Mookie Wilson Jersey France is their head coach and his side are currently 84th in the world rankings.they reached the finals having drawn their opening game away to Egypt 1-1. High hopes were on the horizon as they defeated Rwanda 1-0 at home, but they were brought back down to earth with a bang as they lost their next 3 games twice to Algeria and to Egypt who stole the 3 points with a fine 1-0 win. Needing Tom Seaver Jersey a positive result in their final game at Rwanda to qualify, the pre sure was intense as the Zambese boys laboured to a 0-0 draw which was enough to send Renards team to Angola and the celebrations started.If Renards men are to progre s in the finals they must do so in a very competitive Group D which consists of Cameroon, Tunisia and Gabon. Many see this group as the Battle of the French as Cameroon and Gabon are managed by Frenchmen. Paul Le Guen heads Cameroon, whilst Alain Gire se leads Gabon. Renard who is also Tug McGraw Jersey French needs his side to get off to a very good start by getting at least 4 points fronm their opening 2 games which are against Cameroon and Tunisia before grabbing 3 points against an inferior Gabon. Head coach Renard has set his side a target to reach the quarter finals and thenprogre s from there. Personally i think its a tall order for them to qualify from Juan Lagares Jersey the group, but funny things do happen in football.
