Very sincerely I know Nigeria will shock the world at the Brazil 2014 because the world will see the stuff we are made of. We will rule the world by God's grace now that we have our own manager. We only need to cooperate and nothing can stop us. Let the football house know that we do not need a foreigner to coach our boys to rule the world. God bless Nigeria. Toks
ReplyDeleteIt won't be that easy for Nigeria.
ReplyDeletefirst anonymous, i need the weed ur smoking, its very good
ReplyDeleteNFF should pay keshi his wages so he can focus on his job
ReplyDeleteI dont smoke weed, but now I am tempted, shhhhiiiiiii
ReplyDeleteNigeria can make it with doggedness and comittment.
ReplyDeleteNigeria will go far if the experience likes of Osaze, Obafemi Martins, the Uche brothers, Aiyegbeni, etc are invited. World cup is not for school boys, you know ...
ReplyDeleteNigeria has a team now but has no tactics. It takes a lot to be world leaders and even more to sustain it. Keshi should now concentrate on what he has available and try to build strategies which may be workable. Right now, we play and win because we are better than the teams we play. We may not find teams we are better than in the world cup but the best team doesn't alway carry the day. When ability fails, conny strategy comes into play.
