we are yet to have full complement of our defence. I saw pictures of Bassey still on vacation – God help Nigeria.
Nigeria we hail thee . The players are currently stranded in lagos because of nlc/ tuc strike action. We are gradually losing this world cup ticket.
South Africa will trash Nigeria 2-0. Mzansi is on fire at the moment
I don’t know you’re very good at dreaming. So Mzansi is on fire? I wish him quick survival.
Ekong was left out for fitness reasons. But same Ekong says he’s fit and claims he has been training with his club PAOK for the past 2 weeks, even though he’s not yet back in the starting line up. He’s currently in Uyo for a charity game he organized, a charity game Iheanacho and Ndidi also participated in.
