Nigeria Have No Business In The World Cup Says Jay-Jay Okocha

Nigeria have no business in the World Cup says Jay-Jay Okocha. He stated on BBC that Nigeria have no business in the World Cup if they can’t beat Zimbabwe and Lesotho at home.

“If we fail to beat Zimbabwe and Lesotho in our yard, do we have business in the World Cup? No, it’s embarrassing.

South Africa will play all the remaining games in their own land. You see, the 3 points deduction won’t hurt them; they have a big advantage.”

World Cup Says Jay-Jay Okocha

“If we want to qualify, we have to beat them and hope they lose another game.

Yes, if they lose 2 games, maybe we can have a chance, but at the moment, South Africa are in control mode; every team needs to travel to South Africa and take the number one spot from them,” Okocha concluded.
