    If this COACH can still be INVITING EXPERIENCE MAHREZ for “its JUST a FRIENDLY GAME”, I don’t see why HATERS should be ANGRY if PESEIRO INVITE CAPTAIN MUSA and EXPERIENCE IGHALO

  • MONKEY POST 2 years ago

    Even SLIMANI is there o

    It shows this COACH is all about WINNING and doesn’t CARE weather it’s just a FRIENDLY like some “UNKNOWN PUNDITS” will SAY

    • They didn’t qualify for World Cup like Nigeria, they need to win an high profile friendly like this to make their fans happy. It’s up to naija boys wether we will allow them or not.

        We all know why they did not qualify to the World Cup. You wouldn’t have qualified too if you had a corrupted réfère against your team. This is Africa, brother. Africa, the poor land of corruption.
