Thank God Aribo arrested the situation at the 35th minute! Did you see Brazil attacking our defence like a cancerous cell without any restrictions!
Honestly I was scared. Rohr still has to work on that defence.
Yes I agree with you that our defence was so porous out there that I didn't initially even give the team a chance but all's well that ends well.
I'm so proud of Rohr 's boys, they performed impressively against the Mega super stars of Brazil. Congratulations Nigeria!
Yes they did, thanks to Aribo who shot that loner into the post. It was a beautiful goal.
Yes they were so impressive and the man I feared most was Neymar but he had an injury.
