Stereotype of the African team, flamboyant dysfunctionality.

Please read his actual quotes in the article linked as he said no such thing!!! No mention of "flair." He simply and accurately paid homage to two legends who made an impact in the EPL and were his favorite players.
Mr Southgate said: “We didn’t choose Nigeria for the June 2 friendly match just because we had an African team in our group at the World Cup but the truth is that we don’t often have the opportunity of playing teams outside Europe and we thought it was a great opportunity playing against Nigeria. I was in the squad when we played Nigeria in 2002 and there have been a lot of Nigerian players that have been successful in the Premier League like Kanu and Jay Jay Okocha, both of them really made a great impact in our league and they are my favourite Nigerian players.”

It's about three (3) times within the last week or so in which "Oga Ayo" has INTENTIONALLY misquoted the content of an article, yet REFERS us (Forumers) to click on the LINK to his BLOG.
What are the Mods doing or going to do about these LIES or deceptions? Ayo, his aim and his link is becoming, or has become that of the "owngoal."

...who will really score for them? May be Sterling will cause havoc. At least we see their players every week play. As for us, we may actually surprise them because of their poor defense and goalie.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:They will beat us silly. I don’t see us getting less than 3-0

if we lose 3nil to England - we might as well withdraw from the Wcup- yes we may lose not I don't see a white wash - 2-1 or 1-0 or a draw my predictionEMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:They will beat us silly. I don’t see us getting less than 3-0

Serbia beat us 2-0 that would have been 3 if the one Uzoho clawed out after it crossed the line had been counted. Just saying its not that crazy a scoreline but its also a friendly and the result isn't all that matters. But I do expect us to be more competitive with Mikel back and also don't expect our starters to go too hard and risk injury.walesvilla wrote:if we lose 3nil to England - we might as well withdraw from the Wcup- yes we may lose not I don't see a white wash - 2-1 or 1-0 or a draw my predictionEMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:They will beat us silly.

I can take a SE loss to any team, but there are three countries I'll have a very hard time accepting a loss from be it competitive or friendly... and they are Ghana, Cameroon, and England in that order.Re: Southgate says he chose Naija cos of flair ala Kanu & JJ

They are going to be playing an African team in the WC so they look for an African team considered to be in good form right now for a warm-up game. That's what they've always done. They've also hosted Egypt and Ghana in the past when they were in good form. There is no other reason.
