Win or lose play good football we are not asking for much
Gallant what? Nigerians ehhhh
Strange headline, ill preparation and treatment by the NFF is making people comment this team even though they haven’t won any trophy.
What makes them gallant? A clueless team gallant?
Gallant indeed They drop the ball after defeating Argentina and the same Italian team they easily despatch in the group stage are going to be champion.
Nigerians can be such INGRATES…
Look at the comments here by folks who’ve probably never done anything for Nigeria themselves. SMH
CONGRATS to the GALLANT FE…
Only 1 team is going to win it all, and it’s no disgrace finishing among the Top 8 in the World!
The MOST IMPORTANT goal is talent-spotting and development…
This team has proffered several potential SEs – Fredericks, Daga, Ogwuche, Eletu, etc.
BEST WISHES!
