Fact-free comment. Where is your proof?joao wrote: Please stop generalizing. Nigerians do support the SE her in the US.
Nigeria played Mexico in Houston, The 65,000 venue was sold out and there are at least 20,000 SE fans in attendance.
Records show that Nigerians in England are passive about attending SE matches, but you keep clamoring for the team
to schedule a game there. Thus, what's your point?

Record shows nothing. London/England is football land. Unlike Yankee where the Calvary is waiting for a game every 10 years to show face.

You can't exempt the cost of promoting the game which also include policing. If you want to pack any stadium you'll have to promote it and a Nigeria game doesn't even need Nigerians to be packed. Locals would show up.
If you want the bigger stadium then expect more planning and spending. Policing don't come cheap. Getting premier league money is not the same as privately organized international

Re: Nigeria v Serbia is at The Hive in Barnet
Our fans in the UK have not supported the team as they should. Very shameful if you ask me.

Nigerians and fans from other nationalities can be seen with the 'green-white-green' flags and
face paintings loudly supporting the team. Compare that to images from London showing just you
and a few other guys spread and out surrounded by empty spaces, wearing EPL club shirts and
looking disinterested.

more due to the way we have shown support. You 'Englander' Naijas just love to bray about the EPL and your clubs while we here
in the US are true fans of the game itself.

Re: Nigeria v Serbia is at The Hive in Barnet
Soft excuse to you. You think because you come to CE, all Nigerians in the UK come to CE. Many have not even heard of CE. If you don't promote the match, many would not know. I remember only seeing flyers in shops when Nigeria used to play in England. The match doesn't only need gate attendance, how about live streaming? Many might not be able to attend but can log on.joao wrote:Seems like a soft excuse.

The same people who make noise about UK peeps will be looking for free links when they should be paying to promote the effort of those who have invested in Nigeria matches

Re: Nigeria v Serbia is at The Hive in Barnet
Unlike you, I work with facts and not figments of your imagination. I asked you to provide evidence that there were "at least 20,000 SE fans in attendance" at the match in Houston. I knew you doid't have any evidence b/c you pulled out 20,000 Nigerians from your arse.joao wrote: I know it is hard for you to imagine but here in Texas the few times the SE had showed up,

Re: Nigeria v Serbia is at The Hive in Barnet
Checked online tickets are not on sale. The Hive website has no information/promotion on the match I take it is down to Cybereagles to promote the match? And people will complain when Nigeria play in an empty stadium.
Re: Nigeria v Serbia is at The Hive in Barnet
I'll be coming from Texas for this one. Gotti et al, make una put me for mind o.

Re: Nigeria v Serbia is at The Hive in Barnet
Don't forget Nigerians in the UK in general are broke while those in the US have money.
Re: Nigeria v Serbia is at The Hive in Barnet
It is a Nigerian disease (especially those in the diaspora). They do not take anything seriously. Nigerians are only interested in showing off. When it comes to supporting the national teams, they lack the passion and commitment. I was i Miami in 2012 for the game vs Venezuela and was disappointed to see a handful of Nigeria supporters (some wearing Agbada to a soccer game) in a city that boasts of thousands of Nigerians. Same hapenned in Jacksonville in 2014 and Atlanta. Please there were no 20000 Nigerians in Houston for the game. Most Nigerians don't stand for anything, they don't care for anything. They are interested in chasing money foolishly.joao wrote:Please stop generalizing.

I don buy my ticket. Unless, anyone has a better idea, the usual suspects can meet at Spoons b/4 and after the match.

Re: Nigeria v Serbia is at The Hive in Barnet
Yep, when I went to the Greece game in Philly, only a handful of Nigerians as well, majority of fans were greek. Its just funny when Barca and Real come to US during the summer you see boys rushing to buy tickets, but when SE is around its a different story.Ahidjo wrote:It is a Nigerian disease (especially those in the diaspora).
