Esther played her heart out in this tournament. I feel she deserves the player of the tournament award.
She deserves it. Dont know why Waldrum was always keeping her on the bench despite the fact she shows glimpses of brilliance whenever she was called upon. Thanks to Coach Madugu for spotting the talent in her and giving her enough room to express his talent. Esther can be world best if she keeps her head low and keep on working hard . Its a blessing to Nigeria that Waldrum Resigned bcos his ultra defensive patterned didnt allow him to ser and exploit the attacking talent in rate gem.i doubt seriously if SF would hv won the tournament with his ultra defensive approach.
Waldrum would have won the last Wafcon if not for poor refereeing decision in the semis against Morocco. Give Waldrum the respect he deserves. You can now set loose your 44 attack dogs with your 2 faces.
