Congratulations to the Zambian national team on winning the African Nations Cup after an epic penalty shoot out.

19 years after losing the entire squad (deemed by some as their best in decades) when their national team's plane crashed having taken off after a game in Libreville, Gabon, the Copper Bullets return to the very same city to win the trophy. A truly remarkable story!

Also special mention for Sol Bamba. His Ivory Coast team went the entire competition without conceding a goal. He also scored his re-taken penalty in the shootout after the keeper was adjudged to have moved too soon when saving his original effort.

Great story. Them winning the ACN is right up there with the Denmark 92 Euro win and Greece winning in 2004 for great underdog wins.

How long before Hollywood get a hold of this story and turn it into a movie...?

Probably already winging its way onto an executives desk as we speak
