“We have a tricky group but I’m confident we will reach the last four with our squad.”

This guy is far better than Iheanacho with one goal to show for it, against Babatunde with 10 goals and yet, not get invited.
Babatunde is better than Chukwueze because of experience.
Ugo (Mr Chukwueze Lawyer), don’t insult me o.
Ajayi and Babatunde have done enough for Al Ahly and Zamalek but their major undoing is playing in African leagues. Both have the quality to be in the Super Eagles but unfortunately they’re not appreciated on the basis of their club.
Gbam!
Well.. We can’t get all our best legs in the team at once..
The coach still has the headache on choosing who to start and the formation to use…
The league you play in is your albatross to getting back into the fold of the Super Eagles.Find yourself a good league to play in and prove yourselve thereof.
