Can you ever offer what you don’t have?
The Guinea coach is FIRED UP, abi? No problem. On match day, he will be FIRED DOWN with goals 🙂 🙂 🙂
Caveat Emptor – Guinea are a good, consistent side! No defeat in the qualifiers, even away to CIV. Complacency and unseriousness would be our worst enemies against Guinea. If we let them, they can do some damage. However, a focused, determined Super Eagles should be a bit too much for Guinea to cope with.
