Ahead of the World Cup, Nigeria hires a second fitness coach

Nigeria will be looking to strengthen their team with more hands (or feet) on deck, ahead of the FIFA 2018 World Cup, especially following the results of the World Cup Draw.

In a group where our opponents are Croatia, Iceland and Messi, sorry, Argentina, we will have a lot of work to do. 

While on paper one can conclude that Argentina and Nigeria will end up top two, no one is counting Iceland out, especially after the last Euros; and although the last friendly between Nigeria and Argentina ended with a surprise win for the Eagles, the stakes will be much higher in Russia.

Gernot Rohr is therefore looking to use all the help he can get. He recently disclosed that his scouts are working hard to ensure only the best make his provisional 30-man team. 

He is also hiring Bernard Gines, who worked with him at OGC Nice between 2002 and 2005, as a second fitness coach for the Super Eagles. This is in addition to the physical trainer, Goal-Keeper trainer and a Video Analyst already hired.

 It is not just ‘man’power he is leaning on though as the Eagles are set to train with ‘FieldWiz’.

FieldWiz is an application that accurately measures the physical contribution of a player in training or a match using parameters like miles covered, reaction and speed.

Who do you think will come up tops in this group? 

#PinkFootball Would you wear black to a wedding like Shakira did to Messi's wedding?

By now, you probably have seen all the pictures from Lionel Messi's wedding to his childhood sweetheart, Antonella Roccuzzo , on Friday in Argentina.

However, for us PinkFootball lovers, we are all about who wore what (and why?).

First off, how gorgeous is the bride? Her train is to die for. She looks beautiful, regal and happy, like every bride should on their big day.

I am fascinated by Shakira's choice though. She wore a black Yolanda Chris dress and looked every inch a diva!

Would you wear black to a wedding? We seem divided over here at the factory with some thinking it sets off a bad vibe. These days, no one still holds on to that black is bad notion do they?

The dress code for Messi and Roccuzzo's wedding was black tie so it appears Shakira was just keeping to the theme. She paired her sheer black dress with some nice stilettos, a clutch, simple hair do and a gorgeous smile!
We think she looks fab but take the poll.
