Columbia in 9th position? I believe Nigeria can beat Columbia anytime, any day
Na whhaaann oohhnn
Dey play, Colombia that recently beat Argentina the world champ.
If Nigeria would like to become higher in FIFA ranking , NFF should hire World class coach in order to harness Super Eagles team then he can creat formdible and incredible team which can beat any team in the World and Africa , then SE ranking could be higher than Morocco and Senegal and other higer teams in Africa; I think NFF should hire Herve Renard who can realize this target…
We are where we truly deserve to be. The NFF can’t be this unorganized and you expect us to be world no 1.
