Congratulations Nigeria has automatically qualify even if they lost the match because Libya beats Rwanda in Rwanda by 1 nill
It’s now official. Super Eagles have sealed their place in 2025 Afcon. Libya bear Rwanda.
Wow, Libya really like us ooo.
First, they generously donated 3 points and 3 goals to our campaign. Now, they sealed our qualification for us by beating Rwanda.
We should send them a nice “Thank You” card. They have been so nice to us. Our generous north African neighbors….hehehehe!
Would have suggest we allow Benin draw or win us just to show Libya that two can actually play the game, but for sportsmanship it won’t be nice idea,
so if yuh knew den y suggest it? confirm mumu wey yuh be! idiot! some of wunu need lock up! msheeew
Eguavoen had made history of qualifying Nigeria for AFCON with two match to spay .
Congratulations!!!
Now that we’ve qualify with two games to go, Oya @ Dr Drey do the needful, sing that ur favorite song, we are waiting lolll.
You and your folks have said things like qualifying with 2 games to spare is no big deal.
So why is it suddenly a big deal now…? Especially as current AFCON vice champions.
Why don’t you just say thank you Libya. I even thought that any Nigeria coach will be beating Rohr 5 goals to nothing in any match especially when he’s handling a lesser team. He’s not good and you still struggle playing against him as Benin coach
Some players just need to vacate this team. Lookman is becoming selfish now. Whats Iwobi and kelechi doing on this field. they both paying nonsense
Nigeria playing well. Just bad luck is the problem.
Define playing well? Your opponent is having most goal attempt and short on target as well leading and you are playing well. Ha! O ti da
I’m not comfortable with Bassey in the defence,iwobi is mediocre,can’t defend a corner kick,can’t dominate the midfield,osho has weakened our defence,he would have been introduced gradually,he is a weak link there, Eguavoen also does not want to keep the job,how do u start Iheanacho as a winger,he can’t be on the pitch with iwobi at the same time.two lazy players
Olusegun West,
Baba, go and rest.
You go dey protest,
You go dey contest,
But you are not the best.
Just as I thought.
Iwobi has cost us again!
He completely left his man at the far post and before Ekong could recover, the damage had been done. Goal! 1-nil!
Now Benin are running freely and rampantly through our midfield simply because there are two gaping holes in the shapes of Iwobi and Iheanacho, the two non-tacklers who Eguavoen has mysteriously decided to play weakening our middle again!
Well, he is only weakening his own position because this will not be good for him in trying to keep the job if we lose to Benin again the second time in rapid succession!
Abeg, Bashiru, Simon and Osayi need to come in and we need to switch formation.
Leaky defence. I maintain Okoye is better than Nwabali
Kelechi is becoming like Boniface. Many opportunities but still can’t redeem himself. I don’t expect him to start. Simon needs to come in.
Iwobi needs to rest this one in the second half. Bashiru needs to come in.
And perhaps Eguavoen can find a space for Osayi Samuel. Not the most solid defensively but very valuable in the wings going forward.
Another basic goal we conceded. The guy just slotted into position at the last second. Classic training ground move.
Rohr really knows the weaknesses of the Nigerian defense and is exploiting it well.
The weakest link for me is onyemachi, eguavoen should take him off for Samuel and bring Aina to play the LB, bashiru for iwobi and Simon for kelechi.
No amount of coaching by a foreign coach will make our defenders not exposed at the slightest of chances.
That Benin goal required just basic defending.
Some people said we have fantastic players, but I don’t see it, especially defensively.
The problem with people like you is that you don’t really understand football at all!
That is why it’s so irritating that it’s people like you who have the loudest opinions!
You are confused thinking that it is only the defenders in a team who defend!
You really need to try and improve your understanding of the beautiful game!
On paper, yes, it’s the defenders job to defend, but in practice, the WHOLE TEAM defend and attack together!
This is especially true in set piece situations! The goal conceded was not any defenders fault but Iwobi’s!
It was Iwobi’s man who found himself free to apply the header and score the goal – watch the replay closely and you’ll see and perhaps learn something FFS!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Very correct, some people come here and hype players who are just crap. See open net that the African player of the year can’t score. Some players just need to leave this team. Iwobi and ihenancho especially.
Excuses galore!!! It was the same you who have been clamouring for Egu to be given a permanent contract, you must definitely make excuses for him. All thanks to CAF, I mean Libya, for the free three points at Libya airport.
Iheanacho and Iwobi both skillfully endowed but also lazy and this will put pressure on our defense. We need hard tackler hard working midfielders
Skillful ko, basketful ni!
I guarantee any money that you haven’t got the foggiest idea of the meaning of the word!
Just sit down mr man!
How did Osimhen miss that?

Yes that was iwobi’s fault and thats the second time he would be doing that
Thanks joor, you sabi well well.
Please tell that retard tayo so that he does not remain in his abject ignorance for the rest of his wasted life – the moron thinks I have something personal against Iwobi, he never considers whether he is the one who has no clue as to what is going on lol.
Iheanacho is done for.
Iheanacho is far better than other strikers.
Can Bassey and Aina put their shorts where it should be? How una go dey play ball still dey sag?
Lol! Na that one dey pain you?
What has that got to do with anything? Is it shorts that play football? Ehn? ask yourself that simple question.
Or is it the man wearing the shorts or maybe you think it’s the shorts wearing the man ba?
Mehn, you people really are un-effing-believable!
3-5-2 is the best formation for SE. The mumu coaches no dey hear word. Lookman is not a winger. Pair him with Osimhhen upfront. Simon should play the left wing back while Aina play from the right. Onyedika, Ndidi and Iwobi at the center. Then the 3 Men at the back. The team will balance. Ihaenacho is past his best and should not even be consider as a starter until he start playing regularly for his club.
Very embarrassing to see Benin leading Nigeria in an important match even if it were to be a friendly self. Lastly why start Nwabali despite the fact that he came late to camp. What happen to Okoye ?
Eguaveon is not a serious coach at all.
I have wondered what could have made a late comer to camp to be preferred above an equally good goalkeeper in okoye.
See how h3 conceded that goal.
Wasted this afcon qualifiers by not employing a new coach that should have understood the players better. Eguavon or what is he called can’t take us to anywhere
Leave eguavoen out of this, stop hyping this so called professionals who don’t take the game serious. Some players just need to vacate the team, Ndidi inclusive.
Eguavoen does not HAVE THE BALLS to drop non performing players so as long as he is still the team’s gaffer, we will continue to bark that some players must be dropped but there will be no bite. Nwabali who strolled in to camp 2 hours to match (Ihenachos favorite pastime) still got the nod ahead of Okoye. There is NO WAY Eguavoen will introduce new players that will likely take the shine off his favorite first 11.
Foreign coach no send you. That’s what these players need. Else, WC qualifiers where we are NOT SUPPOSED to drop points again in 6 matches will be as laborious and “eye sore” encounter as today’s.
NFF currently will end our WC dreams if this coach remains.
If he had sense, is this not the best time to find new players to stake their claim in Eagles when we virtually qualified before this game? No, his preferred players might NO LONGER BE RELEVANT.
Which friendly exists again before qualifiers next match? None. So this is Eguavoens first 11. With wishy washy big-man players
Has anyone noticed how porous our defense has been since we switched back to 4 at the back in the second half? We could’ve been 3 goals down. God Abeg.
Ekong is the weakest link in that team. He is a good LEADER but not a tough tackler. He is not good on the ball and dies not resonate much confidence in the team. We better shop.for more confident defenders.
Very correct, some people come here and hype players who are just crap. See open net that the African player of the year can’t score. Some players just need to leave this team. Iwobi and ihenancho especially.
Nwabali’s fans, how market? See your ogbonje GK conceding simple header through his brooks
How is that a simple header, did you see the condition of the field of play. stop trying to mkae your self look stupid. Why didn’t your defenders mark their respective players
Hahahahaha….the most embarassing goal Ive seen a Nigerian GK concede since Abiodun Baruwa punched a harmless ball into his own net vs Jamaica in 1997…..LMAOoo.
They said it isn’t a simple header o. Pls correct yourself. It was an intercontinental ballistic missile of a header that went between the balls of this Enyeama-wannabe…..LMAOooo
Heaven knows this showboater is still our No 1 because a local coach is in charge. The numbers prove otherwise….LMAOOooo
oniyeye, did we lose? wanker of the highest order. We should allow a keeper that has conceded 15 goals this season because he plays in the Italian league, what an excuse. Keep deceiving yourself, Nwabali is here to stay.
Hahahaha….okponu…LMAOoo your fake enyeama has not conceeded any goals in lowly south african league abi…?
Ode is asking if we lost…LMAOoo.
Your low budget Chigozie Agbim is catching airballs in the full glare of the world and your only defence of that is “did we lose”….LMAOoo. what a disgrace…!
I thought he was immune to mistakes and goalkeeping errors…LMAOoo
What about the ones he has been costing us before now….or was if not Osimhen that popped up to save his sorry ass…?
Go and watch the type of goals your tingod has been conceeding against strikers that cannot even make Bafana Bafana sqaud, you yourself will yank him off our starting XI.
You tingod lacks even the fundamentals of great goalkeeping….no wonder even in South African league he cannot get a better club. Even Akpeyi got signed by Kaizer Cheifs after using the SE as a platform to promote himself.
Didinrin
Oga weere, like i said go wank your self to sleep, you don’t hve to support the Eagles once nwabali is in goal, thank God your alias said the 15 goals he conceded was against Napoli, Milan etc, that sums it all that he hasn’t fully recovered from his mental break. Since he can allow goals in against bigger teams,he is then not ripe to man the super eagles post. He hasn’t fully recovered. What a shame, better recommend some spicy peanut for him
Didn’t see most of the first half however from what I have seen so far,our struggles with Benin is tactical.Benin closing up spaces not letting us play our football.They press high up the pitch making it difficult to build from the back,the coach knowing Nigeria makes it difficult because he knows Eguavoen plays from the wing so he make sure our wings are properly managed not to cause damage..
But it looks like we are starting to improve let’s see how it ends..A draw will be a good result..
Oga is our former boss for 6 years. He knows us inside out. He has beaten us once and Rohr can beat us again and again even in this match. Oh well, we qualified already. Thow shall always respect and obey your boss. omo9ja and his cohorts, are you all there?
With ekong and bassey still at our defense our best bet is 3 at the back at any point into time. 352 or 343.
The question is that if they are not good enough, why haven’t we found replacements? Let’s be honest, Eguavoen is not good enough. What frustrates me is that We know Iwobi is not good enough to start but we keep playing him. Our midfield has been a problem for years but they keep inviting the same personnel and expecting a different outcome. A good coach is always working to strengthen weak areas in his team but not this lot. One would have thought he would have tried uche.
Take out this shitty lookman for goodness sake.
Excuses galore!!! It was the same you who have been clamouring for Egu to be given a permanent contract, you must definitely make excuses for him. All thanks to CAF, I mean Libya, for the free three points at Libya airport.
And didn’t he make the necessary correction, bad belle. Channel your blame on some yeye players who don’t deserve call up.
And I guess those players called themselves up
And didn’t he make the necessary correction, bad belle. Channel your blame on some yeye players who don’t deserve call up.
Yes , we should should channel our anger on players who invited themselves Abi? Who also selected themselves to play the match.
Yes channel the blame on the players. Will eguavoen enter the field of play to show professionals out to position themselves. I believe his hands are tied, just like Finidi said that some players are obviously paying their way into the team.
Rohr isn’t a coach see your over hype super eagles being beaten twice the same on Avery good field. Some idiot started a portion blame on players. They said Iwobi can not defend, lookman is shit oshime can’t can’t score open net iheanacho is lazy. The Osho they have been clamouring for all this year is suddenly not good. How comes every players doing well in their various clubsides some are even the best player there are not good when they come to national team? That is what you get when sentiment beclouded your sense of reasoning. Mistake is part of the game but how you react is the most important. We have seen Rohr team came from a goal down to beat us the last time but what is stopping our team from scoring after going a goal down. A lots needs to be done. @ that man who at a slightest opportunity blame players especially Iwobi try to examine your head. The whole team did not level up
tayo abi na wetin oloriburuku like you dey call your mentally retarded self again?

Coward!
@Field Marshal JBob, I should ask what mixture of weed + ARV + heroine did you sniff tonight?
Na when imbeciles like you no get better think for head to say that you will resort to abuses and foul language.
It is very obvious that this team of individual superstars in their clubs are assembled and tutored by a clueless coach in Ogunefon but retards like you will not see with your eyes wide open. Tell me what tactical formation or any technicalities can you point out in this match?
Invitations and Team selection faulty, how on Earth will any sane coach start Iheanacho especially after missing a gaping net in Sevilla requiring a simple tap-in into an empty net? Did you hear what his excuse was on the invitation of Sadiq and Iheanacho……..appalling to say the least
How can a coach leave out a performing GK in Seria A for a late comer GK from a proper TOLOTOLO league in South Africa?
Why will a good coach continuously bench Fisayo despite his immense contributions to the team in the recent times?
Where is the tactical inputs like free kicks tactics, corner kicks, tactics that could break down a tight defence, positional awareness and concentration, on-field motivation and backing of instructions?
Rohr has been able to use practically unknown players to garner 4 points in 3 matches from Almighty Nigeria superstars and shame no catch you all supporting these dice indigenous coaches. Is there a single player in that Benin team that can make the bench of SE?
In all the 5 AFCONQ matches so far, we are struggling with teams far below our level but thanks to Libya shenanigans that gifted us free 3 points and 3 goals, otherwise we will be in the market now to buy calculators as usual for permutations on how we can qualify for AFCON
Continue supporting mediocrity over merit hen
dr banks? you are a madman, I wouldn’t normally respond to an idiot like you but just because of your brainless rant, take this!
You are nothing but a bloody idiot! Friggin plank – mongrel, you think people don’t know that you are a fake ass nonentity? Calling yourself dr banks lool – which school did you go to you twat? An illiterate like you could never be a doctor, from your vocabulary and basic spelling, I doubt that you went to any school of note you boneless invertebrate! Effing animal! If I ever hear my name from your retarded mouth again, I will run a train over your effed up shyte!
Absolute weaponised mongrel that you are – You are lucky that I have to watch my words! If this were real life I would have simply annihilated your simple ass! Blinkered simpleton like you! People like you bring out the worst in people and is one of the main reasons why I try and avoid this cesspit called CSN – with animals like you and your foul nasty odour lingering – complete twat!

I have wondered what could have made a late comer to camp to be preferred above an equally good goalkeeper in okoye.
See how h3 conceded that goal.
We need a coach please NFF we a sound coach please
Omo9ja don run commot.
He said Eguavoen will show us today that black coaches are better than white coaches. As if skin color counts for anything. Whether a coach is as black as charcoal or as white as snow, it is his tactical ability that counts!
What we saw today is the difference between a real coach and a charlatan.
Rohr was surprised by the 343 formation in Uyo, which is why Benin lost that game. Today, we could all see that he had done his homework, and he was prepared for it! If we continued with 343 for the rest of the game, we could have lost.
343 is not a bad formation. What is bad is having a clueless gaffer that can’t tweak his formation to get the best out of his players. Our problem is not players. We’ve got good players. Maybe not the outstanding types we had in the Yekini era, but they are still good enough to be dangerous in the hands of a good coach.
NFF ONIGBESE’s refusal to do the needful has once again brought us disappointment.
NFF, get us a proper coach!
Eguavoen thought because he wọn 3-0 with 343 the first time, same thing would happen again….LMAOoo.
He thinks every coach is him dimensional like him.
Give Rohr the just the SE bench and he will defeat any SE team coached by a local coach home and away.
That mechanic is largely underrated…LMAOoo
lol the moment I saw hotelier Iheanacho in the lineup I knew Eguavon was a joke, the midfield combo was a joke.. benching Dele for these guys is highly disrespectful.
Why is everyone suddenly running away from the embarassing goal we conceded….LMAOoo
Eguaveon, Eguaveon, Eguaveon. Four stints as Super Eagles coach, and somehow, he’s still fumbling the basics! This match against an injury-ridden Benin Republic squad should’ve been a walk in the park. But instead, we scraped out a 1-1 draw, and that only thanks to Osimhen’s last-minute header. That was a literal lifeline, not some clever tactical move on Eguaveon’s part. What’s his game plan? Set us up to struggle and then pray we get a miracle in the dying minutes?
First off, what exactly is his obsession with benching our best options in midfield? Any sane coach would know that Onyeka needs to be a priority in that lineup. The man’s a powerhouse, both as a ball-winner and a runner who can slice through opposing defenses with those quick surges. Instead, Eguaveon opts to bench him and leaves our midfield looking disjointed, as if he expects us to dominate with magic instead of sound strategy.
Now, let’s talk about Dele Bashiru versus Iwobi. Every time Dele Bashiru’s on the pitch, you feel the difference. His physicality, drive, and attacking intent are precisely what we need, especially in high-stakes games where you want players who can unsettle the opposition. But what does Eguaveon do? Benches him too. If this man were any more predictable, he’d be a human instruction manual. You can almost see the gears turning in his head: “Big name, bench him. Emerging talent, bench him. Known performers? Nah, let’s go with the inconsistent ones.”
And then, Moses Simon—our one-man playmaker and wing wizard. This guy has a natural ability to break down defenses, he’s our top assist provider, yet here he is, riding the bench. Instead, we have Iheanacho starting, looking as if he hadn’t even practiced passing in weeks. Is there a logic here? A strategy? Or is Eguaveon simply tossing names on a board and picking at random? Moses comes on, and within minutes, we see the difference. Imagine if he’d been on from the start—Benin would’ve had no answer.
The tactical issues don’t end with personnel; it’s Eguaveon’s entire approach to the game. Rohr’s game plan was clear: choke our wings and force us into uncomfortable central play. And did Eguaveon adapt? Not in the slightest. He saw his wing play neutralized, and his response was to… bench our most dynamic winger and keep Lookman out wide, even though Gasperini has long since figured out that he’s most deadly as a false 9 or a support striker. Eguaveon isn’t reading the room; he’s ignoring every blueprint that could make this team click.
Eguaveon’s tactical rigidity, poor selection choices, and lack of adaptability are actively holding this team back. His substitutions are baffling, his positioning choices seem random, and his inability to exploit even the simplest tactical hints from the opposition is glaring. The World Cup qualifiers demand a coach with vision, adaptability, and respect for the talent on this squad, and Eguaveon simply isn’t delivering.
If we’re serious about the World Cup, we need to face the facts: we’re not getting there with Eguaveon’s approach. The NFF needs to find a coach with experience, tactical intelligence, and an understanding of how to maximize a team’s strengths. Until then, we’ll keep scraping by in games we should be winning comfortably. A word is enough for the wise
Omon, I doff my hat for you. I respect your candid submissions.
Please, this your submission should be adopted as the technical report and the way forward…and efforts should be made in sending same to the NFF….
Team selection Vis-à-vis players invitation to the national football team and camping must be based only on merit and quality of players…
The super eagles urgently deserves to have in place a very sound coaching team with excellent players managing skills, tactically and technically sound and imposing to bring the team to par with great teams in Africa and the world in general.. Eguavon could return to his position but needs refresher courses to upgrade his coaching skills.
I doff my hat for this humble submission and analysis. You were right and spot on!
I will urge that this submission be adopted as the technical report and must be sent to the NFF immediately… please.
There’s literally, nothing else to say or add . This is the preliminary statement on the team SUPER EAGLES as we speak.
To God be the glory. We wanted all three points, but we shared points. I’m not satisfied with that. We thank God for his mercy. Congratulations to us. We made it through to another Afcon.
NFF Ajewomasan is in trouble now. If Eguavoen stays as I said before hmmm Nigeria may not make it to the World Cup.
Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
Hahahaha….your local coaches with all the super stars in the Super eagles have only been able to get 4 points out of 9 from a 70 year old PE teacher and his lowly injury ridden Benin Republic team…..LMAOoo
Who is the mechanic now…???
Go and hide your face.
The statistics are there now. Eguavoen with one dimension, our former world-class has failed to win him in both encounters?
What are you talking about, young man?
This should tell you that Oga Rohr is an average coach. No wonder Madagascar beat him at the Afcon when he took the Eagles to the tournament.
You know that I don’t support coaches anyhow, right?
Eguavoen is not the right coach for the job. NFF should consider Siasia and you will see the difference kę. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
Iwobi can play as our number 7 so that Fikayo can play in his number 10 position..
Apparently,we need a goal scoring number 10..Moses Simon should be starting all our games from the left until we find a better number 11..We struggle each time he’s not available or on the bench..Lookman should play as a false 9 when Osimhen isn’t available,assist striker when he’s available..
I believe playing our boys in their favoured positions will help the team to be stronger..We toil hard to score most times because players find themselves in strange positions and you can’t get the best from these players in this situation..
Meanwhile,we also struggled because we were left with little space and Benin also pressing high up the pitch made it difficult,our players struggled to break the press it was evident ..We were fortunate to have players like Simon and Osimhen both great players with tremendous potentials and talent..Without these duo we surely would have come short yesterday..
For the World Cup qualification,well,we see what happens I believe Eguavoen will lead us through our remaining World Cup qualifiers my only concern is domestic coaches difficulties winning away from home.This is where foreign coaches are better..We need to win away from home to qualify for the World Cup in the situation we’re in,home wins alone won’t do it I’m afraid..
Any foreign coach appointed may not get the job done because of the need to get familiar with his players and the environment,we were expecting the Nff to test run a foreign coach in the afcon qualifiers but instead Eguavoen was given the nod so we have to hope he gets the job done,as it’s he’s the best candidate to see us through our remaining games.
Should he fail to qualify it’s what it’s life goes on..
Greehurt I always love your unbiased contribution together with Pompeii. Good analysis. This is different from some people whose only interest is rohr and rohr.
I wonder why the ghost of rohr is not leaving them.
As if rohr is the best thing to happen to the world.
If we had lost yesterday they would have been dancing. I wonder what types of fans they are are. Still pained because rohr was sacked many years ago. I am surprised
greetruf abi watin, har yuh sure dat yuh har well?
youh are retard an knows noting about footbal if yuh har stii calling for iwobi in de team – pipo like yuh need to leave footbal as a sport and face yur job or market and if yuh had no job like yuh den stop suport footbal an go an suport anoda sport like gidigbo or table tennis idiot!
I don’t know how much time a new coaching team will require to get the job done… otherwise, Eguavon is still falling short of being the Man for the team.
It’s glaring that Rhor wasn’t a bad coach after all….we are going to face him again soon for the world cup qualifiers and Eguavon must begin to get his acts together… and do the needful in getting the job done and properly done…. it’s glaring that I will not support any outright changes to the technical team and technical support considering the time frame it would take a new team to adapt and adjust to our needs and requirements….as well as getting to understanding the team and the players…
I will suggest the addition of a very sound but experienced coaching team or personality to beef up the coaching crew.
oniyeye, did we lose? wanker of the highest order. We should allow a keeper that has conceded 15 goals this season because he plays in the Italian league, what an excuse. Keep deceiving yourself, Nwabali is here to stay.
A lot of you are just noise- makers who just needs to keep quiet. You all know the truth and decide to dance around it. When they were busy hyping players because they play for top teams and they eventually come to the national team and play garbage. Eg Boniface, he just needs to go, same goes with iwobi and ihenacho, they have nothing else to offer. This is not Fulham playing, you see iwobi walking about the field, same with lookman who was just losing balls, Aina was playing tired, same was bassey, all those faulting Eguavoens tactics, didn’t he adjust in the second half. Abeg leave the man alone and tell your boys to stop paying their ways to be selected for matches. Its very glaring now from what finidi said about some of this players. They feel untouchable.
Just because they didn’t perform today we should throw them away. Must they perform 100% every match. Do you give 100% at home or your workplace or your business everytime
@Kenneth, Thank for putting in black and white, they all say the TRUTH, but they are looking the other way. For God sake we are toping the group and had already qualified. The coach saw the problems and made all the necessary changes in the game, I respect him for reading the game on the spot. He substituted these player and we got a draw, and he did not lose the game. Guys you need to be calming down and be objective.
We should never be contented with a draw against any of the teams in this our AFCONQ group at all bro, and to be candid, we ought to be winning them all with nothing less than 2 goals if you consider our players profiles vis-a-vis our less fancied opponents, this is the simple truth.
@Kenneth said Okoye conceded 15 goals in 12 matches playing against Juventus, Inter, Atalanta, Milan, Roma, Napoli and his team is sitting pretty @ no 9 on the log table.
Can you compare that stat with Nwabali that has conceded 9 goals from 7 matches playing against Sekhukhune United, Kaiser chiefs, Orlando Pirates, Golden Arrows, Amazulus, TS Galaxy? A GK that allowed a harmless header to slip through his brokos to gift Benin a cheap goal?
Continue making yourself look stupid with your lame comments in the name of defending the indefensible
Idiot please tell us the role of a Goalkeeper? Didn’t know he goes to sleep when facing the above clubs you mentioned. How dumb and stupid can you be. Don’t worry they will still end up in their spot on the table. It’s just a matter of time. Better advise his coach to start using 7 at the back so he wouldn’t concede more goal. Funny you calling that a harmless header, when a keeper is anticipating his player to mark his man ad sudden the player went to sleep, his chances of saving his limited, thank God the coach said the weather didn’t help matters. Keep disguising Dr Dry, i know its you.
Oga weere, like i said go wank your self to sleep, you don’t hve to support the Eagles once nwabali is in goal, thank God your alias said the 15 goals he conceded was against Napoli, Milan etc, that sums it all that he hasn’t fully recovered from his mental break. Since he can allow goals in against bigger teams,he is then not ripe to man the super eagles post. He hasn’t fully recovered. What a shame, better recommend some spicy peanut for him
