Nigerians Blast Edwin Okon For Refusing To Shake US Coach by robosky02(m): 12:38pm On Jun 17, 2015 |
Edwin Okon, coach of the Super Falcons has come under fierce criticism after his unprofessional attitude following his team’s 1-0 loss to the United States at the ongoing Womens World Cup in Canada. An Abby Wambach volley seconds before half-time earned USA a 1-0 victory over Nigeria in Vancouver, sending the Americans through as Group D winners and Nigerians home. After the game, Okon refused to shake hands with US coach Jill Ellis and immediately got a backlash from football fans across the globe especially Nigerians who were grossly disappointed by his action. Reacting on Twitter, Omono wrote: “Edwin Okon did a very unprofessional and immature act of ignoring Jill Ellis’ handshake. That’s why Nigeria will never grow.” Lolade Adewuyi, Goal.com Nigeria editor was more critical of Okon’s action. “This coach Edwin Okon really fooled himself in front of the whole world. @thenff must learn not to employ misfits,” he wrote, adding that, “Edwin Okon, in typical #NGA fashion, blames the loss to #USA on the referee. Piss poor attitude.” Why is this uncivilised Edwin Okon disgracing Nigeria this much? Refused to shake hands with U.S Coach. "No handshake", he told her. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/06/17/nigerians-blast-edwin-okon-for-refusing-to-shake-us-coach/ 1 Like

Why the fuss? He was frustrated, how many times do coaches in the premier league refuse to shake hands, its not a big deal fire him because he blows at coaching not this cuz this is nothing. In fact im still annoyed with the ref and u could see the US bench egging her to give cards for basic tackles so if im Okon im not happy we got cheated all through this tournament granted Okon's poor coaching didn't help but i still have a bad taste in my mouth. 1 Like |

If I were coach Edwin Okon I would have done worse than that. How do you expect me to have a hand shake of peace with those white dudes? When it was so glaring that every body was against us? Abi na only after de match FIFA or person de know peace? iiiiiiiiissssshhhhh. Some people here did not even watch the Super Falcons matches but are so quick to rush to Nairaland to bash the coaches any rime they see a thread on them. So so annoying. USA played 14 women against the Super Falcons; their 1st eleven, the croud and the referee (i.e The Corrupt FIFA). The referee was simply partial. Look at the way and manner she (Ref) threatened Ngozi Okobi when she tackled a US player lightly. She still went ahead and awarded the yellow card; She was just against Nigeria. I am suprised that uptil now so many ignorant and e-righteous and religious Nigerians in their normal hypocrisis are criticizing Coach Edwin Okon for refusing to have a hand shake with the US Coach, na by force? How many of us called FIFA to order when our able right back Njoku was given a heavy ban of 3 matches and fine for a wrong/foul that so many players have committed and gone scout free? What about the case of Ogenyi Onazi during the 2014 FIFA world Cup in Brazil? What did FIFA do? I congratulate our coach for telling the referee, FIFA and the entire world that he was not please with the unfair officiating between the Super Falcons and the US WOMEN national team. Let it be on record that a Nigerian had the courage to do that. If Nigerians were this righteous, most of the problems that our economy has faced would have been in existence. Lets call our call all our past governors to release the monies they have stolen so that salaries will be paid and stop venting unnecessary anger on people that don't deserve it. I refuse to accept racial abuse from the whites in any form it might come. #Stop e-RighteousnessItWon'tHelpUs# Qoute and condem me if you think you are righteous and can control your temperament in a situation like this better than Coach Edwin Okon. |

robosky02: These dumbass Nigerians should have been talked or written more on the discriminatory officiating of matches involving Nigerians teams by the European and American referees than Okon's handshake or lack thereof. |
