Worthless warning a third tier club in Dubai compare to 5-1 of Cote d' Voire whatwashed of Sierra Leone .
SE is no match for Ivory Coast
Inasmuch as I don't hold out hope for the SE to do well at the AFCON,saying that they are no match for CIV is a stretch..
There's nothing exceptional about them to warrant all these veneration..
I wouldn't be so sure.
12-0 very funny. Why not do that Al Hilal or Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia. Well I wish our boys Goodluck ń my nation a fourth trophy this year.
we the fans of S E complained alot s, If they draw it's a problem, if they win by little margin it's also a problem.
I did not see anything extraordinary for beating a fourth tier Arab football club in a friendly. I am a patrotic Nigerian, but, whoever believes Super Eagles will perform well in Ivory Coast, is just daydreaming. The team cannot go beyond the second round or probably, the quarter finals. Don't put much expectations on that team. Just relax and enjoy watching teams from Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, Algeria, Cote d'Ivoire and Cameroon.
From my own perspective, the super eagles of Nigeria did a great job . Even if it was division 9 club that they played , remember it is not easy to beat an established team with team work. Remember they played a football ⚽ club that train together and play matches together day in day out. For me the super eagles did a great job.
This is not a tall dream for anyone to begin to celebrate. Not yet uhuru
