Re: 26 WCQ - Have we fumbled?

The logic behind hiring a coach after wasting the two friendlies has to be the dumbest move ever. NFF wants a foreign coach based on inside report and do not plan to make Finidi the longterm coach for the qualifiers. But yet, they have Finidi managing the two friendlies. Just let that shitzs sink i...

You guys are funny. You people couldn’t wait for him to come back after the SA game because Aina was ineffective on the left. By the was Moses was poor against SA.

The success of this Afcon has made this a massive massive game. Is it usually this big or its because we haven't been in the finals for years. It's a number of factors including the world being more connected thanks to social media apps, more African team members having dual roots that helps genera...

And after the professional foul, he made sure to hold on to the ball to prevent any SA player from attempting to quickly take the freekick before the SE regroup. Captain Ekong was fully switched on.
