I watched the match and was so so excited and happy. But why do Nigerian players become complacent and do unnecessary “ako~” “yanga” while still playing. Honestly if they were going with the same stride and gusto from the 79th minute to the end, first Belgium would not have scored that 1 goal and Nigeria could have made it 6-0. Siasa needs to have a word with our boys (who am so proud of, all of them and especially my pet Odemwinge). They must play with a mind to scoring maximum goals possible in any match until the final whistle. “Yanga” and dribbling skills of “akoish” fashions and skills should be done at friendly matches only and that is if they are winning.
