By Fred Edoreh The Super Eagles’ loss at home to Guinea Bissau in the Ivory Coast 2024AFCON qualifying series brought yet another bitter feelings for Nigerian fans. In the days of Amaju Pinnick as President of the Nigeria Football Federation, it would have been so easy to put all the blame on him. But who now is to blame, the players, the coach, the NFF or Ibrahim Gusau, its new president? What too can we say about the other national age grade and women’s teams which have also been struggling? At the post-match talk with the Super Eagles, Gusau read…
