No recycled opinions.
Just football through an African lens.
Follow the journey.
Most people don't know this.
The first African country to ever play at a @FIFAWorldCup was Egypt. ๐ช๐ฌ
Not Cameroon. Not Nigeria. Not South Africa.
Egypt. In 1934. Over 90 years ago.
Africa has been in this game longer than most people think. ๐โฝ
Nigeria vs Portugal. Tonight.
A friendly. Not a World Cup match.
Because the @NGSuperEagles couldn't make it to the tournament they deserve to be at.
@victorosimhen9 absent. @Alookman_ absent. A squad in transition.
Watch Nigeria play Portugal tonight and remember โ this is what we're missing in June/July. ๐๐ฆ
Fix Nigerian football.
