Why does it matter? It isn't like you have a real job! When was the last time you took a flight anywhere? And I am not taking about that time I paid for you to fly on Spirit airline.

Indeed I was told the short turn around time for processing visas needed would not be doable by the US embassy. So friendly canceled.

Hopefully, we get another game during the next FIFA window. I will like us to play some African teams, similar to Benin and SA

Our qualifiers against South Africa and Benin is during the next window. This was our only opportunity to play a credible opponent before those matches. The only option we have now is a scrimage match against yum yum FC.

I dont buy the 'visa problems' excuse.

According to the Argentinian rumor mill the NFF didn't want to pay the expenses for the flights.

The visa thing is from a very very reliable source.

If you say so.

We went to US before, with a bunch of homebased players to boot.

Have you, or a family member ever had any dealings with the US Embassy in Nigeria?

Not just in Nigeria. Many US embassies have long wait times

Friendlies were planned months in advance. Even then, there were still visa problems associated with it. This friendly was never announced by the NFF even when it was in China. All the announcements came from Argentina media and I'll let you know the NFF and their Match promoters were not happy about it.

The visa situation has become worse. My sister is getting married in the US in June, and in many locations, getting an appointment takes a long time. For London the appointment wait time is 110 days, Lagos and Paris are 434 days - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel ... times.html
