A tactical play with lots of discipline with brilliant passes and an eye for goals. Moses should improve in set-piece taking and stop wasting valuable opportunities. All the best to the Super Eagles

Best of luck to the Nigerian super Eagles. I really wish Kelechi Ihenacho is our first choice striker, l believe he is more likely to score when having an opportunity within the sight of goal. I hope he is given the chance. abubakar o usman. Kaduna.
