“This group will be exciting one, as Tunisia has always been a tough opponent for the Super Eagles, with matches between the two sides gives great entertainment. Uganda and Tanzania is also another threat, but Super Eagles have quality players to outsmart them and emerge as the group leaders.

Last time we were in the same opening group with Tanzania, we won the thing. Long before the time of most of you reading this.
As always, I have no doubt we will win the tournament.
Go next door with your doubts. No team is better than the Super Eagles. Until they are. 😁

Nigeria always seems to get lucky with group draws. We should be aiming to top this group with at least 7 points. Group F is undoubtedly the toughest, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Ivory Coast gets knocked out early. Mali vs. Morocco is definitely a match to look forward to. 🤟🏻

Nigeria super Eagles is in a fair group this time. The big question now remains, can they get the whole 9 points ? Considering the kinda talented players we have.
