Agreed. In Garba we trust. Another World Cup waiting for the Golden Eaglets!
It’s looking more and more like we do not have that “deadly eye for goal” clinical finisher that we had in 2013 and 2015.
Yes Divine Nwachuwku and Olakunle Olusegun are good strikers but they do not give the same guarantees of goals that is required
