Alright.
Utill when the competition begin.
That’s how the under17 was beating clubs up and down and turn to bunch of failure during the competition.
I’m no lomger moved by this kind of news.
when the competition begin we will see if they are ready or not.
Lol…my bro @Godsate calm down. A bunch of us lost hope a long time when NFF fired a coach 2 weeks to a major tournament
Its better Nigerians do not expect positive outings from Flying Eagles.The Team pertinently lacks Technical and tactical hands for the competition of that magnitude.
In fact, with full boldness I don’t stand to be corrected on my submission.
