Salisu shouldn’t be in charge after the bribery scandal. You now have age falsification scandal and players from Azerbaijan been invited. Age falsification will not give you an advantage at the U23 level but it will hurt Nigeria Long term.
Winners do it the right way.

How are these the best U23 players we have ?

They just threw in Gift Orban and thought we would ignore the rest of the rubbish.

Only when we miss another WC, maybe these clowns will take things seriously.

Gent will never release orban and thankfully so. Let Salisu qualify with his bush players.

They didn't even want Orban. Yusuf didn't invite him. It was the NFF that had to intervene. Can you imagine?

Most of the clubs in western Europe probably won't release players for this game anyway, so it probably makes more sense for the NFF to focus on the local based players at the moment.

It's on a fifa window so they will release the players. Guinea brought their foreign pros while we called up a bunch of bums.

If the clubs are required to release the players, then it's really disheartening that Salisu/NFF invited players from Latvia, Azerbaijan, Malta, and backwater leagues/clubs. How did they even scout or watch these players?

With Salisu in charge do you really want the answer to that question? 😏

Guinea was always going to be tough. Let’s see if they can pull it off in Conakry.

Seems quite clear that this Abuja pitch doesn't allow free-flowing football as our U23's and main NT fail to score a goal in both their games
