This AKPOBORIE self…
I don’t know YOU and EGUAVOEN who talks to much????
SMH…
So so Talk Talk.
FOR WHERE.
WITH OUR PLAYERS ATTITUDE OF COMING ONE BY ONE LATE TO THE CAMP.
BUT WHAT I BELIEVE IS THAT IF ALL THE PLAYERS ARE NOT TAKING THEIR NATIONAL TEAM SERIOUS, THEIR CAREER ALSO WILL NOT BE MOVE TO NEXT LEVEL. BECAUSE THEY NEED WORLD CUP COMPETITION FOR THEIR CAREER TO MOVE FORWARD.
Really? George Weah never played in the world but he was world, European and American footballer of the year 1996
i can smell disaster for nigeria. i only hope my fear is wrong.
Why are we so negative? Your team is way stronger than the Ghanians and yet you are still fearful. If you now play France, you would not even show up for the game?
Nigeria is beating Ghana both home and away. The stronger side usually wins. Can Man City be playing Norwich away and be fearful? They go in there and take care of business with full assurance that they are the superior side technically.
What shows that ur team is stronger than Ghana?
Is because of ur average players?
Let me tel u dude, is not the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog
This is my simple advice to u in life!!
Take it to the bank dawg

You guys should leave this players alone, we complain too much, deadline is later today and we have like 18 players in camp already, like do you expect them to come altogether at once when they play in different league? The players know the importance of this match and Ghana won’t excape defeat .
I mean….
George Weah never played in the world cup but he was world, European and African footballer of the year 1996
Nigeria will beat Ghana
Tactical draft for SE!
NFF & Super Eagles should guard against Ghana’s antics using Covid-19 and Officiating (Ref & VAR) conspiracy to deny us level playing ground in Kumasi.
SE should conduct their COVID 19 test in Abuja or let our medical team conduct it or be involved.
NFF should watch out for the officiating.
Our players should be clinical in their tackles especially around our 18 yard box to avoid penalties & dangerous free kicks (Remember Mahrez goal).
Also, our strikers should fall at the slightest rough tackle against us in their 18 yard (cunny man die, cunny man bury am!).
SE must have plan A, B and C formations and tactics. (Use both wings and midfield; drive-ins from the flanks and decent crosses from the flanks and midfield to the strikers should be employed and quick counter attacks from defense and midfield must be used by SE.
Our Midfielders must stop Partey from making those runs and crosses into our halve.
A defender good at heading should personally mark Partey during corner kicks against us to forestall his kind of goal vs Leicester city few days ago.
SE must press Ghana from start to finish and the coaches should make their changes as early as necessary.
The coaching Crew must fish out 1 or 2 freekick specialists and penalty takers in his team who must be in the 11.
We must properly utilize our freekicks and penalties.
Also, SE must subject our Goalkeepers to thorough shooting drills to test their readiness.
Okoye or Uzoho or Akpeyi must be battle ready. Hot Shots will certainly fly to you aplenty, are you ready?
Finally, SE DM and defenders must work hard to block every shot directed at us. Those shots must not go through!
Goodluck Super Eagles! Shalom!
Them you have a lot of problems. We go still hammer you. Hahahahahaha
Keep on boasting with ur average players!! Ghana ll shut ur mouth comes Friday
U ll learn to respect Ghana and maybe they erroneously believed that the same afcon scenario will happen again and that will their Achilles heel!!
If he is a man, let him bet let us
I am happy people are now ignoring you… Ghana must go bag … Laugh.. when people ignore you because of your rude attitude and utterances, it shows you need to really check yourself. You are just showing you are worthless. That’s too bad. And you even call yourself @SelfmadeKing.. you don’t talk like a king. You talk like a pauper my friend.
And who’s ignoring me when u just replied to my comment lol
Grow some brain cells lol
Even the likes of Okocha, Oliseh Taribo West, Babayaro etc could not defeat the Black Stars in Ghana. Keep tickling yourself by doing mouth mouth. On Friday you will know the Black Stars is not meat & drink.
Okoye out of Ghana vs Nigeria
As a person I feel Okoye’s pains and hope he recovers but as a team, Nigerians see him as a basket.
People are saying it is sad news but Akpeyi or Usogo should has filled the slot.
Not Akpeyi, but Uzoho should be in goal for SE for this WCQ against Ghana.
Can you people let this guys concentrate and stop your silly predictions and boasting? That’s how we thought Tunisia was a walkover with over confident attitude and predictions. Football is not mathematics where 1+1 is always 2. I wish MY Beloved Nigeria the best.
