BONFRERE Jo has been watching matches here and hoping to pick up a job from any of the teams here. He may have a chance. After watching Cameroun play draw with Egypt, he warned the Eagles never to expect that against Cameroun, Cameroun will play the way they played Egypt.
That is on the conclusion that Eagles would meet Cameroun. That is the permutation here and everybody is talking about the encounter. South Africa could change that if they beat Morocco and the Eagles overwhelm Benin Republic. They would then top the group and avoid Cameroun.
“Cameroun will be different against Nigeria. Take that from me. Nigeria must not make the mistake of reading them based on what they played Tuesday. They stayed behind when they found out that Egypt were faster and could win.
They stayed behind, hoping to get a draw. That will not be the game, that will not be the approach against Nigeria. They will attack and they have stronger men than Nigeria. Cameroun didn’t play well Tuesday. They will be different against Nigeria.
““I have seen the Nigerian side. Individually, they are the best here technically. Other players don’’t have the individual skills or technique the Nigerians have. They can make use of this. It may be difficult against Cameroun but they have nothing to rely on than their technique and with good tactics they can win. But it will be difficult because Cameroun are stronger and better organized.”

Abeg, can someone tell this BonJo to shudaheckup. We're NOT interested in his opinion. Nigeria is done with him and for GOOD too.
We don't want his input.

Bonfrere is right. Nigeria can beat Cameroon individually. Luckily they have a shaky defence and questionable strikers. Nigeria has to mark eto'o and Mboma like no tommorow and go all out to score.

How the mediocre make themselves geniuses. Does it take a rocket scientist to know that Cameroon will play stronger in the quarter finals? It is the quarter finals, in case BJo did not notice. Thank you for the superflous advice.

Bonfrere is implying that Christain Chukwu sucks or he would say Nigeria has individual talent and tactics.
