Well, let's say they gave a good account of themselves. And as dia oga talk,'"we lost gallantly!", I guess it'll take another decade or so to match with the Angolans, strength for strength, skills for skills |

They had an impressive outing,atleast they achieved their mission in securing the Olympic ticket, but we must start thinking how to overcome the Angola hurdle next time, they've been a hard nut to crack for Nigeria for decades |

Sad that Nigeria couldn't capitalise on Angola's weakest team in a long time. Our side was full of overweight and over-rated players,lazy folks. . . Olumide Oyedeji should never play for Nigeria again. . . |
