The Gaffer on
Nigeria
World Cup 2026 ยท Pre-tournament verdict
The Gaffer says
โRight, listen son, Nigeria got pace and power all over that pitch, and on their day they'll turn anyone over, proper frighten the big boys. But here's my concern, mate: defensively they go walkabout, and the keeper situation gives me the right fear. Gut tells me they flatter to deceive again. Verdict: dark horses on paper, bottlers in reality.โ
