i hope our boys would keep the momentum
Ibrahim Mohammed is good! The timing of his run and the clever manner he rounded and chipped the Ghana goalkeeper was clever and brilliant.
That young guy needed to be called up to SE to partner with Osimhen in Attack to wreak havoc on African teams at AFCON 2023 in CIV.
I singled that number 11 out and the goalkeeper,there’s also a midfielder by the name Daga.This 3 lads was impressive especially the number 11 Muhammadu he impressed me with his movements,ball sense,his abilities to release the ball he was selfless a team player and a quality all rounder I see a super eagle in him no doubt.He should be focused and work harder.
The goalkeeper Nathaniel Nwosu is another potential super eagle,it doesn’t take long to identify great talent.The scorer of the second goal Shehu Abdullahi has been knocking on the door since his under17 days he was top scorer for Fatai Amoo led team just last year and has impressed in trials at Manchester United and a few others.
Surely there are talents in Bosso’s team at least we have hope now for the future
Yeah he looks some player to be. Same with the guy that scared the second goal. From the goalkeeper and his defense line to the front they look like a vibrant bunch brimming with talents. Let’s hope they keep this momentum going as this game was a crucial test of how good they can be and they passed the test with flying colors. The Ghanaian team are a good bunch of talented players as well. They’ve been in camp together since last year and they’re still the defending champions at this level therefore, there’s a possibility we might cross path again at the AFCON proper if both teams make it. Ivory Coast is the other team that looks strong, but we must be focusing on Burkina Faso for now. As they too have been camping since last year. A very good start for the FlyingEagles.
Where that guy call monkeypost? U nor fit talk today?
