Nostalgic times when the zeal to pursue national pride and honours was in the blood. The 1994 Eagles that won the championship in Tunisia and eventually formed the nucleus of the 1996 Olympic Football Gold Winning team in Atlanta Georgia USA will forever by my most cherished national team. 17 Likes 4 Shares |

The team should just focus on AFCON so that the world will miss them during the Mundia. This will go a long way to cover us up 2 Likes |

Super Eagles don't play with passion, no hunger or desire to achieve something great with the national colors. When they play, they play with the mentality of doing Nigerians a favor and at the end of the day pocket dollars they don't deserve. If Super eagles fail to qualify for the world cup from the group stage, it will definitely be almost impossible to go to the world cup. They players aren't just ready to play for Nigeria. 1 Like |

When I saw that bet8ja advert yesterday about this match my mind was already telling me super eagles might not win the match...... The draw today due to the unseriousness of the players makes me think the match might was fixed cos how on earth will you draw that kind of match at the very last minutes 1 Like |
