They all deserve it but Bruno to me shd be at the LB, boy literally pocketed all Africa and to some extend world best R. Wingers. Mahrez, Salah and Diaz can testify to his quality.
Going by his discipline defect osimhen shouldn’t have made the list…
It doesnt speak well for our aspiring young footballers with high moral standard…
Can CAF arrange for the best 11, of course with supplementary reserve players, to square up against South Africa’s Bafana on a weekend?
Sounds like a crazy idea, but it’s possible. They will be tired of removing the ball from their net–COSAFA gang up experts. Ha Ha Ha
@Femi One Good Cross does not warrant it, he defends well, But for his position he needs a better conversion rate with his crosses to make it. If he delivered better crosses he would have made it.
Iwobi was the best ball passer in that Tournament but his lack of aggression and ball winning ability will hv put him on the list. I wish he improves on these areas
