Oasis001:





.... and you'd believe they used hand needle to sew their torn Jerseys?! Can you remind me at least a Match where one of the Players had his Jersey torn?

Oasis001:


.... and will you know if really they sew their torn Jersey with needle? None of the Players ever talked about it.

TheGoodJoe:


For Christ's sake, those guys went without kits, winter coats, and wore slippers to board the plane for the competition.

In a sane society, Pinnick should have stepped down after that Disasterclass.

TheGoodJoe:


I will listen to a renowned journalist unless proven otherwise.

Oasis001:




There is no need to digress bro. Did they really sew their 'torn' Jersey with hand needle?

Oasis001:




Even if he's lying?

TheGoodJoe:


The journalist has told you. Unless you can prove otherwise, you are just dragging the point.

TheGoodJoe:


Lying to gain what?

You have no proof he is lying. You are just trying to paint the journalist black to hang him.

Those guys did not even have proper casual footwear. Amunike had to train the team with a plain shirt under the cold to keep them motivated.

Just accept the shame and stop trying to defend the indefensible.

Oasis001:
Pinnick maybe a terrible football Administrator but his Tenure so far ain't a complete failure. Also we don't need fabricating Lies and Propaganda to tarnishing his Image.

Lord eh!! Look at defense.

The man so far has been a disaster.

Oasis001:




Journalist? LMAO! Did he attend the Competition live? Was he part of the Team's Media Crew?!

TheGoodJoe:


So you do not know media follows the team to the competition and back. Like really you do not know that.

TheGoodJoe:


Lord eh!! Look at defense.

The man so far has been a disaster.

Oasis001:


Proof

Oasis001:


Is your Journalist part of the Crew? Simple Question.

Didn't know na Aba Made Nike Jersey dem carry go the Tourney. No wonder he dey tear tear anyhow..... LMFAO!

TheGoodJoe:


You think you are being funny but you are displaying so much ignorance on the matter. Just leave it.

We went to Chile World Cup with slippers, no kits – Amuneke

---

Former Super Eagles assistant coach Emmanuel Amuneke has opened up on the challenges the Golden Eaglets went through before their victory at the U-17 World Cup in Chile in 2015.

Amuneke led the Eaglets to their fifth U-17 victory to become the most successful team at the tournament ahead of Brazil, who have won the title four times.

Speaking on PUNCH Online interview programme, Kick&Follow, where football stars discuss topical issues in Nigerian football, the former Tanzania national team coach revealed that his team left the shores of the country without proper kits for the tournament.

“I knew what I went through with the U-17 at the World Cup we went to in Chile but I am somebody who doesn’t come out to blame others for his failures.

“We went to the World Cup in Chile without kits but we were able to manage the whole scenario.

“As a coach and leader, it is never my way to transmit negative thoughts to my players. We got to Chile and we didn’t even have winter shirts and it was very cold. I was very worried as a coach because if the players got sick how do we get the job done.

“Luckily from the embassy they brought in some clothes for the players to at least have something to keep them warm. The boys kept training because they were determined.

Nobody believed that we were going to win; some even said the players were not good enough.

“We left Nigeria wearing slippers and at the airport, I remembered an immigration officer asked if these were the players representing Nigeria. Things were worse in Chile because there were no cloth to keep us warm and it was very cold and I asked what we were going to do.

“The money that FIFA gave the players which was $100 each, I collected it from the players with the team secretary and we bought some clothes for the players to keep them warm because that was the only thing we could do as at that time.

“But I wore just a t-shirt and if you check all the pictures in training during the tournament I wore just a green and black shirt under the cold weather because I had to transmit confidence into the players.”

He added, “The players even came to tell me before our game against Brazil that the Brazilians were laughing at them because they were not dressed properly. I said to them that they had to laugh at them on the pitch the next day and the only way they can do that is by beating them.”

TheGoodJoe:


This is why I don't break my head for the Super Eagles. I just watch ones in a while.

Oasis001:




.... and you believe this nonsense?! Ain't we Nigerians again for God's sake! No sane Nigerian would go to Airport with Bathroom Slippers.

Let's be honest here. If any of your Brothers was among the Lads, would you let him leave for the Journey with Bathroom Slippers?

Common.... rest with your unnecessary, crass Agenda.

My God. You are arguing even when the horse's mouth is speaking.

Just rest.

... but same Horse's Mouth forget to tell us 'they used hand needle to sew torn Jerseys' nau.

Amnesia?!

TheGoodJoe:


I am glad you are trying to use whatever means to defend Pinnick. With no proof whatsoever. Just hide in shame. The man is a disgrace and an eyesore. He wanted them to fail but God's power is bigger than Satan's own.

Oasis001:




Oh.... I forget late Keshi praised Aminu Maigari for his AFCON Success and begging for Contract Extension coz he loved working with Maigari led NFF Board.

Oasis001:


Proof

TheGoodJoe:


I must give it to you. You are really working hard to defend these NFF crooks. But, unfortunately, you are defending the indefensible.

Maybe you don't know hand needle is far less than sending a team with no kits at all. Even winter shirts.

As I said, you can not defend this. Just hide in shame.

TheGoodJoe:


I am a fierce critique of Maigari. He had his shortcomings. However, we can not deny his vision. Today, reflecting back, I am proud he led the NFF.

Oasis001:


LMFAO.....

The Competition was played in October to November,. In Chile Winter is from June to August, while spring weather is from September to November.

Why would they need Winter Clothes?!

Oasis001:




Under whose Administration was Nigeria banned by FIFA?!
