Good list and Good luck to the supper Eagles. But that Agbim of
a goal keeper is a minus to this list.

BONARIO NNAGS said...

I already knew that Flavour guy that scored the first goal in our last match won't make the list.
No need questioning the list, the coach knows better and sees better than us at it pertains his team. I wish them the best.
