This is bad.
Eguavoen, how market?
Can you now justify your disappointment with Chelle for not including more home based players in his Afcon squad?
Chelle didn’t have to, but he took the team to the CHAN tournament to obviously observe them at close quarters. They nearly stained his white! What if he had been sacked after that 4 nil mauling by Sudan? He took the risk. Looking for talents among the home based players, and came up empty handed. If they were good enough, he would surely give them opportunities.
Are they good enough? One of our best NPFL teams just lost 4-1 at home to a Zambian side, due respect to them. That suggests we are still a long way off!
“Rivers United will travel to RS Berkane for their last group game…”
Why are they still travelling though? Can’t they just forfeit?? Are these people actually footballers? Does this coach know what’s he’s doing?
I dey shame for una. Both the players and Finidi himself. Disgraceful is an understatement!
