It’s a nice game indeed
Na your bodi go tell you bros.
Wait for Seniorman
I love your confidence, we are days away from reality. I hope at the end of 90 minutes you won’t swallow your words…..
The kind fear wey that victory over Egypt has brought to super eagle’s opponents is not small.
I pray that our tempo will continue like that till the end of this competition.
You forget that falcons are no match for eagles.
Your coach predicted that Egypt would beat us. He was wrong.
Tommorow you will also find out that you were wrong.
See you after 90 minutes tomorrow.
See Eagle and fear or be consumed by it. Super Eagle for the matter. Don’t say l did not warn you.
As I said – now all of Africa is on alert, a very healthy fear of the Super Eagles has registered in their brains, as for Mr Abdallah, i don’t see anything he said wrong, he actually showed a lot of respect(fear) in what he said, as soon as he said they’re not afraid, that implies that they actually are, everything else he said also backs this theory so all good people, no need to vex.
On a more serious note, to me it is looking as if Cameroon will be one of our toughest challenges in this competition, this current team with the return of Abubakar are looking very purposeful indeed. Anyway COYSE!
@field marshall, even cameroonians have been praying for us to meet at the final.
They want to revenge, those recents victories over them still hurts a lot and they felt taking revenge in front of their fans will be the sweetest thing.
No one said you should be but just make sure you and the rest of your teammates are well prepared for the task of facing the Eagles. Whether or not you’re afraid of the Eagles is irrelevant, what matters is your post game reactions and comment just like your coach after the Egyptians experienced What it was like hanging with the Eagles for 90 minutes.
We will be waiting to hear from you after the game on Saturday.
I hate players talking when quietness will keep your opponent guessing. Cameroon trash Ethiopia 4-1. Nigeria can do same against Sudan. They are football minors although no country should be termed minor. On paper they are. We love your confidence but humility would have been nice.
Untill then, we shall see.
Let’s see
Yes Nigeria is a big and strong, but Sudan has fighters.
