Exactly. And recalling Olise and his strike, it can only be nostalgic talking of Spain vs Nig. He is always a delight to watch whether in Nigerian colors or club side. Excerpt,

Ejuke will turn out the joker. I see him dribbling the entire liberia team.
With strikers like Nacho, Onuachu Osimen, Odion not just Ejuke, Lone Star goal tender is inside ikpekpan. Underate super eagles at your peril. Good luck guys can’t wait to enjoy the game.
Omon, you people are talking only about the strikers. I tell u, the most intimidating unit now is the mid field where the likes of Aribo, Iwobi and Ndidi are holding sway. They are ensuring that the mid field is locked against the Lone Star. Wishing SE all the best.
