I am fully aware that it was only an exhibition game.
And no disrespect to Haiti whose people I admire a lot but our football has fallen so far behind.
A direct and indirect consequence of electing, appointing, accepting people who are not fit for office.
This image of Nnadozie was from the 2019 World Cup in France. That team was more feisty and technical than the heavy, lethargic Falcons I just saw in the Haiti friendly game highlights on YouTube. Sad. Out of sheer patriotism, I just hope I’m surprised come June/July.
The turf they played is better than the national stadium turf
Let this team play New Zealand Tuesday and judge for yourself. The team that played Canada and US was not as good as they were today.Their movement is getting better so is their defence awareness.
I will draw conclusion after Tuesday also note that the coach now have a team not inviting 30 players.Dont forget most of flew in 24hrs before the match.
Two weeks together will jell the team.
Ohale and Ashleigh’s absence was not obvious as the two U20 defenders are proving their worth.
