Better known as the ‘Oyinbo Wall’, our centre defense pairing of Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong was instrumental in Super Eagles booking a place in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
“Nigerians kept calling us Oyinbo so we called our partnership Oyinbo Wall,” Balogun spoke of the ‘Great Wall’.
“We hope the partnership can be better and go on for a long time.”
3. Nigeria Has A Vibrant Attacking Line
There is that energetic feel when we attack. Though i am not someone that rates Odion Ighalo, Nigeria still boast of an effective set of attacking players that can score goals and lead us to victory in Russia.
Most notably: Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa,Victor Moses & Alex Iwobi.
4. Our Fans Will Sing Us To Victory
When the going gets tough, trust on our supporter’s club to lead us to victory.
You simply can NOT dismiss the importance of fans in the round leather game.
One of the reason Leicester City won the league in 2016 was their home fans ability to intimidate opposition sides with a very loud vocal presence.
In football, the fans are the 12th man on the pitch.
So, i urge every one going to Russia next year to support us by singing very loud: The players need it.
“All We Are Saying, Give Us One Goal!”
Go! Go! Super Eagles!!
