I LIKE THE FACT THAT WE ARE TALKING LESS. IT SHOWS THE PLAYERS ARE CONCENTRATED AND WANT TO DO THE TALKING ON THE PITCH.IT IS A MATTER OF GRIT. LET’S NOTBEGIN TO FRUSTRATE OUR TEAM WITH OUR DUBIOUS ANALYSIS OR PRESUMPTIONS NOW…LET’S MAKE DO WITH WHAT WE HAVE ON GROUND, SPUR THEM ON WITH BEFITTING TACTIC TO GET THE RESULT. CAMERON WILL BE LOOKING TO HAVE AN EDGE IF WE CONTINUE TO DAMPEN THE SPIRIT OF OUR COACHES AND PLAYERS. YOU ALL ARE NOT FARFETCHED WITH YOUR ANALYSIS BUT SAVE IT FOR AFTER THE TOURNAMENT….THEN WE CAN BEGIN TO TALK OF DESSERS, IFEANYI MATHEWS, ORBAN,ETC
