If you ask me, I'd say the Eagles take international games less important than they do at their clubs.
That's the problem with all African players that are playing in Europe in fact. They care a lot about their teams more than their nations. They make less efforts and contacts to avoid injuries.. You can see Salah in Liverpool and with Egypt, you feel like there is two players with the same name. Same for so many players in Nigeria or other nations.
Talking about Nigeria, they will have a game tomorrow against Benin which is third in the group for the moment and Nigeria is expected to win and jump in front of them.
One will say the clubs treat them better than their national teams and I'd have to agree because let's take Nigeria for instance, I don't know about the other countries, match bonuses and salaries are being owed the players, also when they get injured, they don't get enough treatment and are easily forgotten. So I feel most of these are reasons players( especially in Nigeria) put little to no effort when it comes to playing for their national teams.
