Any news from the grape vine over the DR Congo FIFA case?

CapitalCee:
We need to start giving these people passports and Capping them. The guy has been delivering MOTM performaces for Celtic.

ChrisKels:
A decent midfielder but is he a Nigerian?

Odunayaw:

Calvin Bassey plays central defense like it’s a free role. classy Center Back entering his prime. He’s going to get even better. Anticipation, pace, power, aerial dominance, passing. He’s got the assets . Frightening potential

Napoleon55:
My top 5 picks are in this particular order.

1. Lookman
2. Iwobi
3. Osimhen
4. Bassey
5. Akor

But Osimhen may likely end up as the player of the tournament if we win the trophy.

Mujtahida:
The way I like that guy ehn. Frank the Tank

zicky:
As a striker you don't need Bassey to jam you body like twice, body go tell you, you just see yourself avoiding him.

yinkeys:
Osimheen will make that star studded Atlanta Olympics 1996 squad
Best striker Nigeria has ever had
Potentially the best player we've ever had if he signs for Real Madrid next season and wins the UCL
Nwankwo Kanu more technically gifted though

elyte89:
Dem like us before?

Goke7:
Spot on, those back passes are becoming a thing with this Eagles, and to me it's a sign of fear even against teams like Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and SA too many backpasses with the likes of Iwobi and Ndidi o, our boys lack liver whether it's the fear of injury, I don't just understand.

And yes indeed, Egypt parked the bus because the boys were more dominant. If our attackers were better with their positioning, we should have gotten two or more goals in the second half.

ThunderFireAgba:
Bros make una dey stop all these una Sunday sermon. Na these talk make una dey give Emöt.ional Fragile Feminine Males here hope that this player are this and that and turns out to be opposite. That guy is pure average! Even Ndidi at this stage and age is better than him. I don't know what he brings to the table other than passing ball backwards and sideways.

elyte89:
That boy nnadi is good ,me I no Dey support rubbish , where’s our start onyedika ppu 😄

lbrichman2:
Onyedika is poor
I see why he doesn't get to play.
Na only back pass him sabi..

We may need to go back to our midfield 2 system
This 3 man midfield is too poor

Goke7:
abi o, life and direct

opes:
I just watched the interview of the General Secretary.
