  • So do Nigerians still believe that super Eagles have a coach now? can anyone tell me what can of tactics is super Eagles applying in this game? I said it in the last game against Lesotho that if nothing changes Zimbabwe will humiliate them, I don't think Zimbabwe is done with that one goal , check the result when the 90 minutes is over, we are in BIG TROUBLE with this brainless coach

    • Where were you when the brainless coach was employed.since your a better coach if you had applied maybe you might been employed, sometime the coach is not completely to be blamed in every match,there lots and lots of factors that is at play in every match,the factors could be positive or negative and it affects every game.injury, fatigue,weather,psychological,environmental etc,etc.all this affects every game you and l watch.let us pray let them have agood day...mind you any team that had a bad day conceeds more and sometimes plays poorly.Don't loose hope .

      • Oga sit down. Your coach deployed a LB who jas been leaking goals for Fulham in CB and Aribo that has not started a game in Southampton into first eleven and you are waiting for a prophet to tell you that your coach is a scam?

  • change coach now . NFF is to blame for this problem . Nigeria should able to pay a grade A coach now instead of any kind of trainer
