Come on. This is not a good way to encourage the D'Tigers.

What would you be saying now, had they lost yesterday.

The way they played, our team doesn't look like they can defend their title

As I learnt, their preparation towards the competition wasn't all that good. Poor preparation, the bane of Nigerian sports.

I learnt that the players have not really had sufficient time to play together to gel before the commencement of the competition.

Why wish them Goodluck?
Wish them Buhari.

The Ivorians refused to go away in the last 2 quarters and should have won really. They missed two shots with less than 5 seconds left.
