I’m so delighted to see you guys back. I want to see the way Finidi will lineup his team.
I want Finidi to prove to NFF and those who have no believe in our own.
Mind you, the Era of foreign coach has gone. Finidi will do whatever it takes to
be the next coach of the Super Eagles.
The combinations of Amunike and Finidi will be better than unknown half done foreign coaches that NFF always prepare because of their pockets.
But this time around, Amunike and Finidi will get the job done.
However, this is a rare opportunity to see what Dessers have to offer the team.
Kolawole is one of the best strikers that any good coach must not ignored.
Iwobi have to supply our goal machine Dessers. Kolawole should be given a chance to be the main striker in both encounters.
Kolawole is hot as always. Very talented striker, so deadly in front of goal. What a striker he is kę.
Paseiro, Oga Rohr and Mr. No nonsense will regret why they excluded Dessers in their squad.
Dessers have been talking tough about Ghana and Mali. He is fully prepared for these two matches.
As I told you about Nwabali my people and I thank God that Bobo did make me proud and now, Dessers should be giving 80 minutes of action. Someone said Kolawole is not good and age is catching up with him but Friday is almost here to see what our goal machine can offer Nigeria. As long as Iwobi and other players supply Dessers, it is sure that the net will shaking wotowoto against Ghana and Mali.
Finidi have so many things to prove to Nigerians, most especially the doubters.
Go and make us proud Finidi and his troops. Let’s support our own because no time to waste time at all. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
Bro, you are overhyping Dessers Oh! He is not an exceptional striker the way you are rating him. I live in Scotland where he plays his professional football for Rangers. He is not consistent and that is why he is not Rangers’ regular number 9. So I wonder where you got your facts that makes you to rate him very high. For me he is an average player who can be good today and be so ordinary on another day.
Hope you will not use the excuse that the midfield did not do enough for him to show us how good he is.
Relax my man. Dessers is beyond what you think. I know Dessers and I have been following his progress for many years now.
He is a fantastic striker that can’t be ignored at the national team. Kolawole has nothing to prove to no one. He is one of the best strikers we have currently. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
Good luck guys!
Fans, let’s predict. My prediction…
3:0 in Super Eagles favor.
That guy is cool, Lookman.
Despite the optimism and expectedly of us, Nigerians, S.E. game against the Black Stars is always trickish, a point Lookman and mates have to recognize. Presumably because it can go either side with the BStars more of confidence. Our last match tells the story. We needed an outright win or at worst, a goaless draw but the Eguavoen and Amuneke led Eagles could only secure a
one all draw. Though that management was hurriedly assembled, it was the reason why we didn’t qualify for the last World Cup. I feel we just have to sit back, cautiously and enjoy the evening with what’s now tagged Nigeria Jollof vs Ghana.
My thing is this, how can you have 4 injuries and have not replaced them. At least Orban should called up
Not sure our NT is this worst…. Leon Bailey on the disappointing standards of the Jamaica national team:
️ “They’re very unprofessional. Your getting your flight details sent to you at 11pm at night.”
“I don’t remember the last time I recieved a dollar from the Jamaica national team. When I say unprofessional, you don’t have equipment for you.”
“You go and there’s only one shirt. You turn up to a game and you see a woman’s shirt. It’s ridiculous.”
“Whenever I’m there, it’s like they don’t know how to operate. When I go, I feel exposed. Any person can bring a camera to my face.”
WAHALA no dey finish?
Wow Mr. Boluwade, Jamaica own is bad ooo! Tufiakwa!
BAD BAD TINGS MAN. BOMBOCLAAT!
But wait ooo. Are their officials sharing salaries with their coaches?
Na dat one NFF ONIGBESE take “senior” dem.
Hehehe, Jamaica FA are just incompetent. Not corrupt.
NFF ONIGBESE is a deadly combo of incompetence and corruption.
Our officials are the worst. It is what it is.
Nigeria Must use these friendlies to show high levels. Ghana and Mali must fall.
