Easy game for Nigeria!!!
God bless you Bobo, don’t mind those with negative thinkings about our team, we will sure beat Senegal.
Lol…..Its not about having negative mind.
Oyibo people call it objectivity, which is what Blacks lack as every criticism is viewed as negativity.
I’m sure in the uefa final yesterday,you weren’t expecting Tottenham to beat Liverpool. That’s objectivity; working with what’s on ground.
Sure,no team is unbeatable. But you have to tell yourself the gospel truth at times.
Our team is bad. QED.
However, it will pain me if we exit prematurely again and throw away another big opportunity of getting it right and discover future talents.
It hurts to fail when you know you would have avoided the failure by doing the right thing.
I’m rooting for the team as usual but I’m keeping my expectations very low.
I don’t want to drink sniper yet.
are you saying oyinbo people are always right?
