This is morning inspiration. But this guy truely no well or perhaps village pipu. Top players were left out of their nations worldcup squad but for him to make his country's, him no suppose f* up like dat. Moreover,even if him go TOP european clubs,i dont think he will bench any player except their huddlesfield,brighton,cadiff, mk dons,sunderland n co
Re: "Don't Be A Nikola Kalinic" by Nobody: 6:33am On Jul 14, 2018

Anyways am supporting Luka Modric and his teammates
Re: "Don't Be A Nikola Kalinic" by Nobody: 6:33am On Jul 14, 2018
Any day any time kalinic no fit bench our own Ighalo sef. He should b glab to even play in a worldcup
Re: "Don't Be A Nikola Kalinic" by Nobody: 6:37am On Jul 14, 2018
But on another note. All those late changes are unmotivating,the subs deserve to play small la. Bt often times d 3rd sub is to wind down time. Imagine if de add 4mins injury time and coach summon u 90+2

lol.. Kalinic was not feeling ok physically, that's why he could not come on and they decided he should go home as it was clear he wasn't fine to continue the world cup

Here listen. He had his reasons for not coming off that bench as a substitute.
You should respect his decisions no matter what.
Two sides to every story.

I don't think him and the coach gets along.

I think he was forced to pick him because he was one of their top strikers in big clubs.

And sent him home when he had a little excuse to.

Imagine those late subs for Iwobi, assuming he was an egotistical player, he would he reacted, but he kept to himself because he's young.

That was not their coach.

Guys dey read news well naw.
Re: "Don't Be A Nikola Kalinic" by Nobody: 6:57am On Jul 14, 2018
Well, everything i have read on this thread is what people actually think.. Especially with their Nigerian mentality.
Just the same way people thinks sane of germany and morata of spain will be happy their national team lost out without them.

You cant tell if that guy regrets anything. He might just be enjoying himself somewhere and hoping the team wins France in the final. Y'all are just here creating thread and crying over his matter tagging it pride and ego.
I read that he had back pain thats why he did come in that game..

The truth is that he still has a medal, because: his name is registered in FIFA original 23 players list.

It's easy to mock the guy now but funny enough we are all like this. Full of pride. This is definitely a lesson in humility.

The spirit of near misses and failure on the verge of breakthrough hit him.

1. If he wasn't feeling OK why did he come to the world cup in the first place?

2. Why would they send him home, why not just put him on the bench?

Good lesson. But how are we sure that, that's all whole story? Meanwhile, let me post a response I saw on another group to this same broadcast.
