It would take more than the game against Sierra Leone to make up for missing out of Qatar 2022 world cup.
Super eagles attackers have to stop wasting chances and should start turning up against big opponents.
I do not consider Sierra Leone a big side despite a good run of late.We should start winning big games because lately we fall against oppositions that stands up to us,it shows mentally we are not up for a crunch challenge,so it would take more than tomorrow’s game to convince Nigerians the super eagles is back.
Big games wins you tournament.You have to fight till the end and have the mental strength to do so,you have to equalise when you concede do not give up score one better than your opponents even at the last few minutes of added time do not give up!
AFCON, a nonsensical, non profit football ‘club’ competition organised by a disorganised CAF, every 12 months with only jobless or unimaginative people as audience.
This match will definitely be a tough one for both sides as, Sierra Leone is preparing themselves for every social life, despite the country being small or has no much international players that’s plays for big clubs… we do have some but like other African nations but trust me we are ready for every country right now. My prediction will be SL – 2 Nigeria- 1 ✌️
