“I don’t have any favourite country to win the 2022 World Cup, but I will be very happy if an African nation goes all the way to win it. I would also not predict which country will win the World Cup so long as it is an African team.
“If Nigeria had qualified for the World Cup, we would also be contesting for the title. Since we are not there, I have adopted the five African representatives as my teams and I would be praying and rooting for them to do the black continent proud.
“My message to the five African countries is to go to Qatar and be fearless. They should go there believing they can win the World Cup like every other country. They should go and create history for themselves and their countries, ” Musa stated.
On the purpose of his visit to the NFF, the Nigeria’a most capped player said it was a friendly visit to welcome the newly elected president of the NFF and plot a way forward for Nigerian football.

Mechie onu gi dere. Did you see Ghana prioritizing new recruits over thier Asamoah Gyan and Sulie Muntari. have you seen the result?. If Ghana Had your Mentality they will be fielding Dead leg Gyan over Inaki Williams, did you see the result that trust the process can bring?.
Ghana Went all out to priotise for this world cup meanwhile Nigerians and ex internationals and people like you are always either pushing past glory players or your mumu NPFL players. I hope Nigerians really look at Ghana Mentality towards ball it is really miles ahead of our own at present

They just beat a fully loaded Swiss team with likes of Arsenal Captain Xhaka and Man City Stalwart Manuel Ikanji 2-0

Musa days in SE is rightfully over. You have to deal with it. Infact his days in SE should have been over 3 years ago if not for his ethnic ties with Buhari.
