Okoye, ur head dey there! No opponent should be taken for granted! I believe you can do the job, don’t relent in confidence, stay humble and bring home the cup.
This referee Janny Sikazwe is something else o. Ending the Tunisia vs Mali Match Pre maturely twice. Did he take Mkpuru mmiri?
The referee’s career is over. What sort of shambolic officiating is that?
I like Okoye’s confidence and mentality.
I have watched most of the teams now…I no longer nurse any fear about the final world cup qualifier…bring them on
Oh yes, Nigeria will qualify for the World Cup under this ‘our own’ coach. Amoo and lookman must come into the team then and, of course, Osimhen.
Boss abeg weting dey play for Lookman switch?? Somebody should tell me latest on that guy.
Amaju said the switch should be done before our last wc qualifying games
That will be a cheering news if it eventually happened before we play the final qualifying game. We just need our very best legs going forward.
