I noticed all the foreign born SE players arrived camp earlier than others bar Mmaduka Okoye. Keep it up guys, discipline is the key. I feel for those foreign born whom their adopted countries left for lesser talented ones. It’s an eye opener for those who still have the chance to switch nationality.

If Italy had qualified, Angelo Ogbonna and Udogie will not have made the list. It’s good to identify with your own and your talent will be appreciated more. Don’t be friendly matches material. Make hay while the sun shines. Ask Agbonlahor, Fashanu, Nedum Onuoha and Carlton Cole how painful it is to only be considered when England want to play Faroe Island, Liechtenstein and San Marino.
Suppereagles should not loose this match for integrity of our country is at stake other african countries will mock 9ja, they ve lost three matches already, I don’t know why this new coach is loosing all matches, that friendly matche is very important to us. Portugal vs Nigeria please our players should take that match serious, draw is ok than loosing it.
