Mosezinho don’t disturb urself,we have always known where the problem came from,the failed coach limited the super eagles and made them look like an ordinary team in Africa,he was Soo afraid of every team in Africa including sychelles,he made all manner of excuses for his poor tactical knowledge, blaming the non inclusion of missing players for his woeful performances,once we play badly he will tell u is bcoz ndidi did not play, osimehn did not play etc,since eguadiola took over,I have not heard a single excuse,at one point ,the failed coach even gave an excuse that it was because the boys didn’t warm up very well,he blamed the pitch, blamed the club’s they were playing,I wish Simon and co all the best,go out there and continue to make us proud.
Sudan punishment start tomorrow in the hand of Nigeria Super Eagles. Egypt will then give them the last knock on the head.
No hiding place for Sudan. The same mouth that Sudanese coach used to support Egypt against Nigeria will he use to weep tomorrow.
Victory is sure for Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria.
Massive win against Sudan
I quote “Every coach have their mentality and impact. The previous coach, I play to his instructions. With the new coach, he gave us freedom and allowed us to bring our style of play at club side.” Rohr, Rohr, Rohr! How many times did I called u? thanks for serving Nigeria well!
Lolzzzz. Moses Simon na baller a beg. Heaven bless all deserving Super Eagles players
Imagine what Moses Simon said… about Eguaveon allowing them to. Express themselves.
Rohr was just limiting our boys and what they could offer in games. Before Rohr left he was eulogizing how Moses simon is really good for Nigeria as a wing back defender… Rohr Otumopo strong… five years of dull akrika football… God thank you for letting Rohr come to his witsend with Nigeria… as evident towards the end.
Give Rohr ten lifetimes and Galacticos to manage he won’t ever win even rusted spoon… Nigeria don see something for some whitemen hand. With Rohr and Berti Voghts Nigeria were stuck without any progress. I remember Ghana defeating is playing 10 men against Nigeria 11men in 2008 and despite Nigeria taking the lead, Ghana still beat us.
I told someone exactly this when Simon was criticized now this confirms more truth, where are the fake Drs and Monkey Post or Mr great? Or less I forget the big mouth Tayo who comes here and talk like a loser. No sense of excellence his own is anything you give me I like. These guys need to change from their funny ways of backing mediocrity.
The super eagles were in bondage for six years thank God they are delivered,
