Lol. Who’s surprised? Even Finidi, if being honest with himself, shouldn’t. I had the intuition, judging from their last encounter (in which Rivers were mostly on the back foot), and the confidence of the opposing coach.
But I secretly hoped my intuition was wrong and was just a whim. If only you guys would give yourselves a self-imposed ban of 1 or 2 years to analyze and restrategize… Soon you’ll be losing to clubs from South Sudan, Eritrea, Eswatini, and Somalia.
It’s no longer clubs from Egypt, Morocco, SA, and Algeria; clubs from Benin, Ghana, CIV, and Mali are currently beating NPFL teams with ease. Next is level 3 descent with Eswatini, South Sudan clubs, etc.
So, these are the home based which Eguavoen said should be invited to the super eagles. Very dishonest joker.
The fact that Rivers United couldn’t muster a decent shot on target for 90 minutes says alot.
For context, the best club in the Nigerian league couldn’t get a real save out of the goalkeeper of a Zambian league team over 2 legs.
If CAF weren’t a corrupt organisation, the number of continental club competition slots given to Nigerian clubs would have been cut from 4 to 2 years ago.
