#NigerianFootballFederation owns 3 month salary to the national coach who recently accused #DRC national team of #witchcraft. Maybe he needs to seek the help of the #VoodooPriest to get paid… dailypost.ng/2025/12/09/a...

#FIFAPeacePrize: il y a une différence entre gagner et donner. Dans gagner, on sous-entend une compétition. Si Trump a gagné le prix, il faut qu'on nous dise qui d'autre était dans la course, qui a décidé, et sur quelle base. A défaut, c'est donner et ça présente moins d'intérêt. #FIFA #Football

So #DRC won with some #juju. But what about the players going on strike which is a sign of bad treatment by the federation. What about lessons to be learned? Are the players paid their dues? What about their preparation? In all fairness, kudos to the Congolese team. www.espn.com/soccer/story...
