Re: What if Ghana uses same tactics as Tunisia?

Eguavoen isn't dumb. He learned a few hard lessons against Tunisia and is likely going to use Ghana as redemption. With Amuneke at his side, expect some creativity and better response from the bench. I feel good about us beating Ghana- surely better than if we drew Cameroon or Egypt.

Re: Ndidi suffers knee ligament damage

Ndidi missing the Ghana matches will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. For all his tackling and ball-winning, he doesn't offer much offensively and we need a DM that can also move the ball against a Partey- led Ghana midfield that is their strength. Mobile and cohesive midfielders will match th...

Re: FOR THE RECORD: SE is DEEP into DUDU........

Odds are that Dennis and Lookman may not start. Better odds are that they will likely play. Adding Dennis, Lookman and Bassey to the team and dropping a few of those from AFCON to strengthen the team makes sense. Which Super Eagles fan wouldn't salivate at a Dennis-Osimhen-Lookman attack against Gha...
