Mr man – you said Iwobi shined ba? How did he shine?? Did you even watch the match? You people are enemies of Nigeria, how do you expect Nigeria to have a strong team when traitors like you are always trying to force Iwobi on the coaches? You said he shined but you did not mention a single example of how he shined. Ogbeni you are a disgrace and not worthy of being allowed to make comments about our football. You are a mumu man!
Why did the coach sub him off if he was shining like you say but did not sub Bassey who really shined and not just because he scored goal only.
Please stop talking rubbish. If Nigeria mean to be a strong team and be able to withstand strong teams who hustle and play hard like SA and the other African countries then Iwobi must not be anywhere near that team.
Recall that you are really a very mumu man! You people are jokers!
Am also surprised when he said Iwobi shined . I watched the match Iwobi is too lazy . The guy can not mark , can not run always moving hopelessly and he can’t even run proper even dribbling he can’t even do correctly. The only thing he sabi do is to give the ball away quickly because he is afraid the opponent will get it from him. A serious nation won’t call Iwobi to play African football because he is jittery. We need men , fighters and die hard players that can play rough if we are going to qualify.
My broda, thank you and God bless you ojare. There are many on here who will open their mumu mouth and attack what we are clearly seeing about Iwobi – there is nothing personal, we just want to win. Iwobi is a short one whether dem like am or not. Period!
