Nigerian football teams have done so well lately both the girls and boys are in a great form sadly,the super eagles are the only team to have let us down due to the sacking of Rohr and a terrible mistake of succeeding him with tactless Eguavoen.
Since that bizarre appointment,it has been one disappointment or the other,otherwise all our teams will be a great success.
Sometimes you have to lose something to gain something,perhaps the successes we are experiencing now is the price of not going to Qatar.
It is understandable after all it is not easy to lose there and here as well, even politicians don’t like it. Fly the highest flamingoes!
We are happy for you babes, goodluck.
So these women are under 17
Go girls!!
Africa can’t compete without cheating. So bad they even cheat in girls football. These same women expect men to be faithful
