Lets pray for this youngster to succeed. And lets pray he would want to come for Nigeria again in the very near future. Right now, Nigeria don’t have a goal keeper. Only Uzoho, but coach won’t place him. The current one is the worst goal keeper in the whole world. I suspect he is blind. How one can use a blind guy as a goal-keeper is beyond me. But he could not see a very simple shot from outside the box. What a mess.
Beats my imagination why Robs has resolved to sink or swim with Okoye!
How this dark screen sucks. Just like Rohr —- fixing what’s not broken.
