You need to start following Luton Town matches bro. His other team mate, Chiedozie Ogbene has already played for Ireland.

I will try to see their match one of these days

This guy has been performing very well for Luton. I was even about asking if he's eligible to play for us, because I've been wondering why he hasn't been invited to the Super Eagles team.
currently we hv enough strikers and he has to do something extra ordinary to attract the nff and super eagles coaching crew

I think when it comes to tapping this European born players the major focus for now should be in areas where the team lacks quality for instance midfield and defense

CBs like Ekong, Ajayi and Omeruo are still dependable but are aging at the same time. one or two understudies can be drafted to the team to learn from the above trio as well as serve as their heir when they eventually retires

In midfield, a player like Aribo should be dropped for now in order to give others a chance to show what they can offer

the wings should be under consideration too. Inconsistent players like Moses and Samu need competitions to sit out or to be dropped. Musa after the afcon I believe wants to retire and a player like Tella should be his replacement. Belgium based Yira Sor can be given a chance to battle for shirt with Samu and Moses

Praying my prediction don’t come true because we are coached by Jpes. As it stands, the trio of Mali, CIV, and Guinea fits in.

Michael Olise: 2 assists,1 goal.
Omo those Naija boys dey hot for Crystal Palace.

The trouble with stats they don't tell you the quality of the assist and or the goal 🥅.

A player may have dribbled and skilled 6 players before passing the ball for someone to tap it in.

Michael Olise was taking players I and giving pin point accurate crosses both of them are poetry in motion. Eze goal from a precision ball from Olise simply Magical.

Why would someone make such an outright conclusion with so much boldness on the uncertainty of a future event.. Something that nobody has power over.

best defense my ass because of one avoidable goal conceded

Is there any other team that has only conceded one goal in that tournament? Or you don't know what best defence means?

How does the avoidability or otherwise of the goal take away from the fact that the defense has only let in one goal unlike the others?
