What does it matter if one or two players arrive two days late? Clubs and not NFF pay the players. Their requests should be respected
You are sick!
Ammunike only played one game against Zambia in 1994 and he scored 2 goals in the final. He was confered with African football best star in the year.. I m sure paceiro is unaware of this . Asiri paceiro a atu ni Cote D’Ivoire.
How many of his invited players play in Africa champions league.or had previous experiences?.pls i needed an answer.
Is it oshimen Boniface iwobi chukeze lookman. ordinary asec mimosa guys that drank dog blood or tortoise blood before entering the field not to talk of guinea Bissau guys that tie lizard skin on the ankle wil frightened this Nigeria eagles with hair do and chains on their neck . This is Africa cup . Not Europe cup
No matter what you guys sha should not raise your expectations anything high.
With this coach, I don’t see how eagle will win this trophy. A coach who has more loses than winning be it friendly or competitive game should not be trusted. We concede more easily under this coach these days.
