Unlike others assholes who felt they had a chance with the 3-Lions.
doesn't make them assholes everyone has a different story. A different journey.
Playinhg for Nigeria is a thankless task..It is not for the weak grin
Imagine dumping them in Atlanta.

It is hard to understand if you have not lived in Nigeria some of the madness we put up with. I know a guy whoo just does not understand how a major oil exporter often suffers fuel scarcity I laugh because I am sure I have explained it to him at least 5 times and he still does not get it . Is he daft

One thing I like about this guy is his lethargic finishing especially when he is inside the 18 yard box

I support, lecturers are under appreciated here, met a man (Nigerian) teaching at SA and the system there sounded practical and intense and he could afford a lot. He was disappointed because he wanted to impact a lot in Nigeria but the pay was shitt.y

Many of them make controversial statements to show '' I sabi football'' mentality.
Who in England midfield is Iwobi not better than? The English are still saddened by his lose.

Iwobi is below average only to you. Who told you my judgment is based on his two goals yesterday?

I have watched that boy perform in the premier league and i can tell you and anyone else that he is definitely worthy to start for England or at the very least start from the bench.

Alex Iwobi reveals why he snubbed England to play for Nigeria

Super Eagles star, Alex Iwobi has disclosed the reasons he snubed England for Nigeria after scoring a brace in the win over Argentina on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old made the choice to play international football for Nigeria in 2015 despite featuring in England’s youth teams.





Iwobi admitted his family, including his uncle and former Bolton star, Jay-Jay Okocha, played a pivotal role in the decision.

“I was growing up in England and England was the only national team I knew, so I was actually very pleased to play at national level,” Iwobi told Soccer Laduma.

“However, my family are all from Nigeria, I was born in Nigeria, my uncle (Jay-Jay Okocha) is a legend in Nigeria.

“That’s why I thought I would give it a chance. That’s why I went to the U23s and somehow felt more welcome, and I thought it’s where I belong, so I made the decision to switch.”

That is how another ' I sabi football'' Nigerian ignoramus also said the iheanacho freekick goal is not world class because the Keeper got a hand to it.
A free kick that was well placed at the very extreme end of any goalie's reach.
I just dey look the nairalander dey laugh. Ignoramus.

What they do to his likes is to give them one call up only so that they cannot play for another country. Who go give am chance when the No 9 queue include Jarmie Vardy, Harry Kane, Danny Welbeck, Marcus Rashford, Daniel Sturridge etc.
