You should talk about the gesture of the two Nigerian player’s did in front of the Camera’s, signifying a slicing of the throat and death to their opponent. Really classy to do that in front of the home crowd. Also dangerous and stupid.

Well said my friend. Hypocrites and traitors will always try to tarnish the good works of the patriot. How on earth can you say that why Nigerians are cheating the other players from other countries are no doing the same. Shame on the low- life idiots always attributing their failures in life to someone else or for that matter to some authorities. Brazil to these great players, we will remain prayerful on your behalf so that you can achieve your goal at the tournament
