No easy game for Nigeria,Ghana so lucky with the draw..
I hope the Nigerian gaffer travelled round the country to pick players for this tournament otherwise we will prosecute our games with a team not representing the true strength of our country at this level..
I doubt if 1 month will be enough to “travel round the country” to pick players. Not talking of the amount of time he would need to screen, select his final 18 or 20 and get them to gel as a team in readiness for such a big tournament.
I really do not envy our u20 and u17 national team coaches.
Our tight accountant Nff president doing the same thing everyday and expecting a different outcome pathetic!!
If you like block me Nigeria will not qualify for World cup because of Eguavoen
