Does this mean we are winning the world cup?

Headless chicken running to nowhere - A toss between Musa and Sterling

Sterling has improved though, just his finishing is lacking.

If Sterling improves on that, he will actually be one of the major threats in the WC, believe it or not!

That game against Nigeria for example, Sterling carved Nigerian open! If he had finishing boots, he would have finished the game in the 1st half!

In the 2011 U-20 Nigeria 5 Croatia 2. Headless chicken's speed created problems for Croatia. Yes they scored both goals from set pieces. I still say that Croatia's middle, their belly is weak. Walk right in!!

We will beat Croatia and Argentina because neither team has the legs to match our youthful boys. You guys will be surprised to find out that Iceland will actually be our hardest game. They are full of running!

Here's where I differ:

Fastest: Musa
Best Header: Ekong (I believe he's stronger in the air defensively than Balogun)
Best Dribbler: Moses. Iwobi, Ighalo, and even Musa are better dribblers than Mikel
Best goalscorer: I believe Iheanacho is the best finisher in the squad. However, for a team that has struggled to retain possession, Iheanacho would struggle even more than Ighalo has struggled in recent games.

Ayo has a major Hate Boner for Ahmed Musa.
How he can claim anyone in the current squad is faster than Musa is beyond me.

No, Mikel actually is the best dribbler.

For 1 & 4, if you mean the fastest and fittest player in the squad, then Kelechi in one of his interviews says it is Musa and Shehu respectively.

My take:

[1] Fastest player - Ahmed Musa (Air Nigeria will give Bolt a run for his money)
[2] Beast header of the ball - William Ekong (a toss-up with Balogun and Ndidi)
[3] Most intelligent player - Mikel Obi (Odogwu is a legend)
[4] Player with best lungs - Wilfred Ndidi (Etebo is in the running)
[5] Player with longest throw - Wilfred Ndidi (Musa can heave it too)
[6] Player with best left foot - Kelechi Iheanacho (his left foot is sweeter than Joel, Ogu and Echiejile's)
[7] Player with best right foot - Mikel Obi (Moses, Iwobi, Etebo and Ebuehi will have an argument here)
[8] Strongest player physically - John Ogu (I'll take him any day over Balogun)
[9] Best dribbler - Victor Moses (would have been close if Moses Simon made it)
[10] Best goalscorer - Kelechi Iheanacho ( has the highest goals/per game ratio of all the players. Even Ighalo will agree. We're still celebrating his solitary strike against Cameroon in Uyo)

No, Mikel is a better dribbler than Musa IMO

Mikel can actually beat his man. Musa does not know how to beat his man, he just runs into channels.
