To earn a draw at Cape Verde was unexpected to be frank. Cape Verde is a tough team and had been ranked head of Nigeria on some occasions.

They are cooperating but not good enough. They will still be thrashed if they had klop as their coach and Mesi in the team.

Does Tanzania have any star players? In hindsight this may have been a wrong move for Amuneke. Hope the damage to his pedigree is not much.

they can still finish second in the group

They have a very dangerous striker, Samatta who I believe, plies his trade at FK Genk.

Samatta is very good, but Cape Verde is just a stronger side.
