Lassan Bosso team are now 4 and 0 ooo, should our hopes be high for this team? I am cautiously optimistic tho. Glab to hear Ubani is in the team and scoring. Wondering who else from the last u17 team that made the cut. Bosso just keep tweaking the team and let us enjoy good and entertaining soccer like u promised. Let’s go there. Wishing u all the success, we need to participate at the worldcup biko, e don take too long since we see our u20 for worldcuo.
Bosso is a good coach his choice of players shows he’s detribalised.The reason his team is cruising.
I trust bosso he is the right man for this Job and my feelings tells me he will win our first u20 worldcup. did anyone know if nikata dembele is among the players?
