😂😂 I am indifferent to Awaziem oo. If not that the coach mentioned him, I don't think I would have.

Apart from Balotelli, Italy doesn't give black players much attention. Remember one igbo guy that Italy used in the friendly we played on the road to 2014 WC. Afterwards nothing for am. So Kayode should be wise oo and now is the time.
They've been playing Folorunsho though.

Sparta Prague isn’t a bad team bro and Moses don’t need to leave the club before getting a chance in the national team

If we can have players from Tanzania,Cyprus,Denmark etc then I see nothing wrong giving a chance to a player from a club that competes always in European club football competitions

Pisa is a poor team but the only advantage they have is playing in the Serie A so it’s a good step and opportunity for Akin to show what he can do against the big boys which he has done decently well so even if he doesn’t still get a chance in Inter next season mid tables Serie A teams will come in for him
All these players playing for Eastern Europe no dey move me. You remember Igho ogbu wey dem over hype for here. Shame no let the same people mention e name now in search for backup defenders. I no get anything against David Moses, Goldfish no dey hide, if e good he will move to a better club.

It's like whenever Lookman played, SE couldn't score more than 1 goal. This is a big fat lie.

So the 3 goals and 2 goals SE scored against Benin and Rwanda na wetin?

As soon as they cap tied him they dumped him. Italy is not France that can parade 11 black players. They are not even Spain. They dont like Blacks . The way they treated Balotelli, Osimhen and Lookman should give people an idea of how they really are. If Kayode wants to play for Italy, that's his business but he should talk to Frank Onyeka and at least seek an audience with Chelle 1st before deciding.

The way people here and on Twitter are downplaying Gabon is crazy. They're actually the deadliest team en route to our spot in the World Cup. Don't be fooled by the game against Benin. We still had plenty of defensive lapses in that game. We gave Benin lots of spaces. Benin were just not clinical and that's why they didn't punish us severely.

Gabon is the game that will make or break the Eagles in the playoffs. If we beat them, we are very likely going to the World Cup.

That's Ogbonna,very solid CB, playing for Nigeria then would have boosted his career with national team legend.He had few caps with Italy,there was also a Igbo guy too,a striker that played for Italy,very few caps.

Awaziem is good on the ball but any other things as CB i can't vouch for him

I watched Akin every game this season. Seria A is not what it was years ago. Playing against 41 year old Modric and Fofana and winning MON against Florentina doesn't equate to suceeding in the box to box role on the continent. David Moses is better suited for our current plan. Akin is good but not what the SE needs at the moment. Simple. Akpoborie. Ekoku, Ikepa etc were good for their clubs but not really for the SE. You should know this. Ciao!
Hmm,now seria A no be league abi,a young player won MOTM against Fiorentina but is nothing to you...

Haha, Akinsanmiro never had a cap with eagles you don classified him along Akpoborie,Ekoku bla bla..

Gabon and DRC are the strongest teams in the playoffs based on the performances and results during qualification.
The SE have pedigree and momentum which counts during tournaments. It will be an interesting game but definitely not a walk over.
