Congratulations to coach Sunday Olishe and Nigerians. It was like yesterday! The same Cameroon team that puts Sunday Olishe to tears at the 2000 Nations Cup final in Lagos on Sunday as the Captain of the team then, the same Olishe, now (coach) dusted the Cameroonian team in today’s match on the same Sunday. Congratulations once again to the entire team and NFF.
However, Nigerians will never forgive Sunday Olishe and NFF if Enyeama do not return to the team and handing over to him his captain band. Shikena, lobatan/period! God bless Nigeria!
Nice outing I didn’t watch the game but I believe they did better than they previous game against Dr Of Congo. Better performance in their upcoming game is what will are expecting from them. Well done guys

The Eagles were outstanding in the games and i was so glad they put their acts together after their loss to D.R Congo. They were near ninety percent in all the department of the match,but,i urgent the Coach to work on the defemce line and the keeper too because i notice some laxity from them and poor timing from the keeper in the match and even in the match against Congo D R. There is also poor coordination up front with the strikers,holding the ball more than expected and poor positioning. All the same,it is a good performance but,its not yet uhuru for the coach and the players until we see ourselves in Nation Cup and Russian 2018. Any thing short of that,is just a mere dancing in the bare sun without no one applauding you or just chasing after the wind. I wish them all the best.
