“You can’t predict football, things are getting tougher everyday. There are no small countries again . I believe in the team, if we keep focus and maintain positivity in camp, then we can win the trophy,” Onyemaechi told Completesports.com.

“I believe we will be ready to compete and give our best in Cote d’Ivoire next year.”
The left-back is gradually becoming a regular in the Super Eagles after earning a starting berth in the team’s last three outings against Sao Tome and Principe, Saudi Arabia and Mozambique.

Just keep quiet, you were being run over all over the place yesterday. Not looking forward t anything you guys have to offer. I just see babies playing in the egales
So a COUNTRY with over 200 MILLION CITIZENS can’t PRODUCE a PETER RUFAI, an ENYEAMA, a BUFFON, CASILAS or PETER CETCH??
Na so so UZOHO UZOHO!
Chai!
Na wa!
Is that the BEST we can get?
Maybe we are just BIG for NOTHING after all…
SMH…
Love Btuno Onyemaechi’s positivity! Worst type of hate is self-hatred. That’s the stuff Nigerians are made of. Thats why the slave trade flourished here.
The first guy is Bolaji, the second is a monkey so what do we say?
What is self hate please, expressing my opinion means self hate. Obviously you didn’t watch the games so why bother explaining my self. First question is he Super Eagles material. Come back after you have watched his game
