I hope Issa Ali and Andy Okpe has been verified to be legal for use after the Inter Allies fiasco?
This corrupt coach I hope he didn’t take bribe as usual bcos is already in him… hopefully no excuses this time around
Nothing come out
Does Ghana have to bribe nigeria before beating them in footbal? Foul mouth and alegations does not win footbal.
Chiamaka Madu, a true baller. Only hope others are of same quality. Just can’t wait for a totally new NFF set up. Amaju and co have done their best but sadly not good enough. We try some others.
Some of the guys here looks like Japa people, I just hope this is not an opportunity to do do shaaaa.
Lol this one got me.
“Japa people” What does that mean??
Andy okpe
Akuneto/Martins combo mouth watering but the midfield is of utmost interest personally.
Nigeria will beat ghana as usual.
Customer dada ni.
