loss numbers audacity
Our audacity to rise from our losses makes Nigeria the number one footballing nation in Africa!
player white want
Why would you want to bring a foreign coach? Why? If you bring a foreign coach, you might as well bring foreign players, white players to play for Nigeria. If you bring a European coach, he should also bring oyinbo (white) players. That's how it is.
fields remember mute
I remember when Samuel Okwaraji died on the field, I was mute and I didn't even know what I was doing or what I was saying.
goalkeepers shattered heard
I heard the South African 'keeper had been killed and I thought it was probably one of their former goalkeepers, but when I confirmed it was Senzo Meyiwa, I was shattered.

It's always good to have your players with you, it makes you feel great. That is just it. The coach and the players understand one another but people outside don't understand. But it's good to see him, it's good to see all the players.
confident win
We know we have to win this one, we'll be ok. I'm still confident we'll make the quarter-finals.
