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.”

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: Southgate says he chose Naija cos of flair ala Kanu & JJ
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.

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.
