Re: Top 20 African Teams In Latest FIFA Ranking (Full List) by Falseprofet2: 6:07pm On Feb 17
I watched Brentford v Liverpool today and saw how poor Onyeka was despite his importance to our national team. We need to accept the fact we don't have many top players at top clubs right now.

Nwabali- S/A
Aina- Nottingham
Zaidu- Portugal
Troost- ?
Iwobi- Fulham
Ademola- not a top player
Chukwueze -Milan. Top club but Chukwueze is not a top player. Very poor decision making
Osimhen- Napoli. Enjoying a top season but doesn't have the same construct that makes him dangerous when playing for super eagles. He is surrounded by better players at Napoli and his role is very clear.

We tend to overhype ourselves too much. We have only won 3 nations cup same as Ivory coast.
Nigeria has never gone onto the quarter finals of the world cup ever
Cameroun
Senegal
Ghana
And Morocco have done so

Good leap.
But
Gone are the good ol' days of our darling Super Eagles of Nigeria 🇳🇬.

In April 1994, the Nigerian national football team was ranked 5th in the FIFA rankings, the highest FIFA ranking position ever achieved by an African nation!

We will get there soon.......someday!

Why is it corresponding with world rankings... These people are still slaves and do not have the mind of their own. They should be able to teach fifa the real African ratings. As far as am concerned, Morocco is not number 1

World cup is 2 years from now... African teams should work harder.

Let's break into that global top 5 for a change.

It's achievable.

I got a lot of positives from the last Afcon... So many impressive displays from African teams.
