Since Eguavoen became the technical director of NFF, the era of making public the provisional lists of our national teams came to a sordid end.
Even lists for invitation for qualifiers became a 4-days-to-opening-of-camp matter.
I heard on a radio station that the team will consists of ten no 9 guys , one midfielder and 5 attacking defenders.with no trusted keeper . And nobody to cross or do the dirty job in a game.
Just like previous team there is okocha. Amocakchi oliseh finidi babangida to do the hard work den for yekini.
Now we only have yekini and dey are 10 in nuba ..even ndidi is joining the scoring list not to talk of ihaenacho boniboni,iwobi, oshimen,chukeze ,Simon ,lookman ,Sadiq ,moffi,ajayi,.. even aina wil come score .and onyeka,na only bassey go dey back and d keeper aribo wil just be running up and down
Conclusion if Madagascar dey our group again dey wil score with counter before 75mins with this paraded names
Defender from clubs from eyimba rivers shud come on board this team just like keshi did with 2013 team .
No home-based in the SE squad, no AFCON trophy for Eagles, this I have learnt from Experience.
All hail Ogun Efon de TEKENEKEL DEREKTEH!
Very very tekenekel.
Table soccer specialist. Top notch table soccer analyst.
Tekenekel derekteh that did not know when Ghana switched to a back 5.
If the roof had fallen on his head, he would not have noticed.
