If GENERAL ROAR were to be IN-CHARGE by now we would have been NO 1 in AFRICA and NO 5 in the WORLD just like in 1994…
General Roar didn’t use players like Emmanuel Dennis who played well against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
We need players featuring in the Champions League for Nigeria.
Morocco deserve to be among top 5 or at worst top 10, bcos Argentina remain first because they won the wc, what’s England and other nations doing above Morocco that came 4th and been doing good since the wc.
Super Eagles can improve thier FIFA ranking by produce good results in coming matches, good reulsts on friendly matches with big teams like Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia if they met them before AFCON. Final; also in final tournament SE must push thier ranking by reaching final or semi-final FIFA will grant them 15 degree then will be at 24 ranking in the World; also we must not forget World Cup qualifier in November 2023 in tow legs between zimbabwe.
