Zambia wins Africa Cup of Nations

And, just in time to counteract the BS from Liverpool, a great soccer story of triumph. (And, as an added bonus, Drogba missed a regular time penalty!).

Congrats to the Zambians. Neato.

Yes, congrats to Zambia. Always nice to see underdogs grab glory.

I heard a BBC reporter on the SatRad say it was quite the match. He said even though it was 0-0 after 120 min not to think it was a boring match.

Congrats to Zambia

Congrats to Zambia. Great story considering the '93 disaster. Too bad jerk behavior from the scousers makes bigger headlines than an inspirational story like this.

Craziest statistic; the Ivory Coast gives up exactly ZERO goals for the entire tourney and only walk away w/a silver medal.
