In football, sometimes the most difficult teams to play against can be so easy to beat and the easy ones difficult to play against, we noticed it yesterday against Rwanda, Nigeria played beautifully but had it tough cause Rwanda parked the bus mostly thereby making tough for Nigerian attackers to create better chances and score more goals, remember they had several near misses too.
You'll be suprised that the Super Eagles might easily win against South Africa, it's true that they're a good African football nation and they won't park the bus like Rwanda, they'll come out to score and maybe make it easier for the Super Eagles attackers, I just hope Victor Osimhen's injury isn't tough that he'll miss that match.
I saw Nigeria players playing like Manchester United players yesterday on the pitch. They dominated the match and had beautiful ball work but they could only get a goal which wasn't classic. However, the absence of Osimhen affected the match because assuming, he wasn't macked out of the field, he would have look for a way to net the post. South Africa might not be as tough as we think for the Super Eagles.
Nigerian Super Eagles are very fond of winning matches with just a goal difference and it has become a very bad mentality because a team that always win their matches with 1 goal difference can risk an equalizer from their opponents just like what happened in the match between Nigeria and Zimbabwe when Victor Osimhen's goal was equalized in the 90 minutes, it was so painful because if they had won that match it would have given them hopes of qualifying for the world cup but look how they have gotten themselves in a state of distress due to the many conditions that is attached to their possible qualification for the world cup. Regardless that Victor Osimhen got injured in the match against Rwanda but the players would have managed to make the match more interesting or are they going to tell me that if Osimhen is not featured that they won't do their best. We should not even put our minds on the game against South Africa because that will be a heartbreak if they end up not winning.
