And I think anyone saying the Super Eagles has the best squad right now in Africa isn't making a wrong statement.
Having some famous players in the national team does not make the national team the best in Africa. What will make the national team the best in Africa are the achievements that a national team has achieved at that time. At the moment, the reality is that the Nigerian national team is the worst in Group C, along with Zimbabwe.
In all these 4 games in which the Nigerian national team lost points, they were playing with the same famous players that they have, and the result was that they lost against Benin, drew against Zimbabwe, against South Africa and against Lesotho. If the Nigerian players today play with inflated egos and consider themselves the best team in Africa, they may lose points again. They should not underestimate the opponent or set themselves a title when they are not winning anything big at the moment.
I don't think the players pride themselves as the best in Africa or played those matches with inflated egos. What happened was that we had a bad coach who did not know what he wasn't doing and this led to our poor performance. We've a new coach now and today's game is his first match in charge of the super eagles. I won't say we played very well but I'm happy we got all three points and I hope we improve more and get some good results.
