Please guys enough of the Bragging let’s focus on the game and win. After pride comes downfall so let’s be mindful of the big talks.
The coach of ivory coast is also bragging, even haller was over bragging that they will be at us.
I am with you on that. Its like they don’t watch or observe thier surroundings and like history teaches them nothing especially Musa. All the big talkers the boastful ones loose look at DR Congo coach recently bragging and got humbled. Nigerians and Super Eagles players let us do the talking on the pitch time to focus leave the talking and save that energy on winning the trophy
Who will lift the trophy tomorrow? Musa or Ekong?
Makes me remember in 1994 when soon after receiving the trophy, Eguavoen the match day captain handed it over to the injured and non-playing captain, Keshi
Please captain Ahmed Must don’t comment before the match, comment after the ; this comment will press your team Super Eagles, so it will grant Ivorian to press us then it can punish us, so I adivce any player , coach crew that they musn’t comment before the final match.
