Take am easy o Bosso
This Bosso of a man is not serious… recycling players just to market them and he picked a weak team… what a shame. Nigeria 0 vs 1 Uganda so far…
I thought i was the only one, the team is just playing nonsense.
Corruption has really dealt with Nigeria. We can’t even assemble talents to a major competition any longer. Are you all watching Nigeria vs Uganda? I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Why Bosso for goodness sake?
Wait, is Bosso trying to tell us the northerns sabi football, whats this rubbish he assembled.
Bosso’s teams are always dominated by northerners and yet they always play rubbish. We just lost to Uganda ,2-1.
Thats why, the fantastically corrupt Nff dominated by the Northerners always handed him the U20 team even after many failures.
Mugu! with this Your Rabiu/Idris tribal bigot Team ,na him you dey shakara. Uganda don give you Agba Ballers now.With your corrupt Nff connect , una go explain tire. I swear, only Aba sunday sunday Team fit handle this HIPPOS U20 boys.
This man should be cut from our U-20… He has been given too many opportunities and he is always showing himself to be a tribal, religious and average coach. He is too old for this challenge… Ket a younger coach, many of the likes we have in good grassroot teams handle the team… any selected U-20 side from any corner of the country will best this get team. The last U-17 boys of Nduka Ugbade had lots of great talents … He has only picked Charles Agada from that team. What a shame… Ladan Bosso is a fraud competent in only average players recycling.
