As you prepare to watch France vs Morocco, have a look at this video of mine that clarifies some of match officials and referees’ appointments by FIFA.

@QuintsRealRemmy I know that feeling. It’s a painful one.

[Fisayo Dairo @FisayoDairo]

That’s one of the reasons I penned this after visiting Aba yesterday to watch Enyimba vs Inter Lagos.

This is no longer “our” Enyimba.

@SopuruEgbodo @FisayoDairo The Fisayo Dairo piece reminded me of the passion with which my father talked about the exploits of the Sharks of Port Harcourt. It is shameful that Nigerian league football has worsened to this level. Kanu does not seem to value the reputation he has built over the years.

[Fisayo Dairo @FisayoDairo]

@IamFOJ I don’t understand what you mean by game management. I saw your comment related to that yesterday too.

The coach used all his substitution windows, made a change immediately after the red card too but there’s only so much the girls can do.

Yes there are 6 Edo Queens players.

NFF WELCOMES FALCONETS HOME

The Acting General Secretary of the NFF, Emmanuel Ikpeme on Monday evening welcomed players and officials of the National Women’s U20 team, Falconets back to the country.

The Falconets lost out in the quarter-finals of the #U20WWC in Poland after conceding a stoppage-time goal to Colombia in Łódź on Sunday.

[Sọ́pụ̀rụ́ @SopuruEgbodo]

@FisayoDairo I still buy the jerseys, because I know that one day the Kanu, sporting director and commissioner canckerworms of today will leave and our club would be whole again.

Till then, we keep believing.

[Finecountry Azubuike David @finecountryazu1]

@FisayoDairo They're a big shadow of themselves. I saw them against Bayelsa United last season they laboured to win by a lone goal. The quality of players on parade was a far cry bereft of ideas and skills

The stadium walls cracked,poor ventilation in the VIP.

@ITR__001 I am not the one o, he is my good friend. So I just wrote that as a guest on the blog.

[Engineer Kowope @Undisputed_Jsam]

Na FIFA ambassador be him role at Enyimba? If he loves the title that much, then he should probably leave the position.

[Fisayo Dairo @FisayoDairo]

@SportRetina1 E je ka n’igbagbo. 😁

[Fisayo Dairo @FisayoDairo]

Enyimba FC chairman Nwankwo Kanu aka @papilokanu has urged fans of the club to come cheer them to victory against Sporting Lagos tomorrow in Aba.

“Hard times are not forever, they come and go.”
