it's good Nigeria is upping their games at least against lower side but the major issue is when we meet our match or probably someone better than us but hopes are we are improving our game play at least and if proper players and good shooters are to be brought in we are certainly going to soar like the eagle up #NIGERIA my country

I want to believe journalism has been invaded with mediocres. If not what was Scheyles ranking that will make any country rise so much after beating her? Is she France, Croatia, Belgium or any of the top teams?

Nigeria will do better than that if we allow the coach to stay long, or stay many years with the team , our football will improve better than what we are seeing today LEAVE G .ROHR TO STAY. E E E

roher will not bring great achievements in world cup,(eg.semi-final) , if he doesnt win cup of nations he must go .
