3 Vital Lessons From Super Eagles' Loss To Algeria by Bethel80: 1:08pm On Jul 15, 2019 |
By Neydu Wordsmith Onuoha The Super Eagles are out of AFCON 2019 and it is time to look at what went wrong and the way forward. First, let me say this- I am very passionate about football, I am equally very passionate about the Super Eagles, in fact, much more passionate about the Nigerian selection than I am of Chelsea FC, the football club that I support.

We must look beyond Gernot Rohr: Gernot Rohr has tried so much in bringing back discipline, organisation and calm to the Nigerian national team and has given his best.
