For me, Nigeria would have to be at their very best if they hope to take all three points from South Africa. This battle or rivalry between them has been going on for decades and now that Nigeria needs 3 points to qualify, I feel that they (South Africa) would want to ensure that they (Nigeria) don't get it easy.
I was able to watch these two sides play against their various opponents and there was something I observed in the South Africa game and that was the fact that 10 shots that they had were all on target. None wasted which goes to show they are precise and well calculating team whereas Nigeria kept staggering and failing to show Rwanda why they are known as the Giants of Africa.
Tomorrow we'd see a great showdown and I hope that this time around, Nigeria won't disappoint but would beat SA at their game.
I wouldn’t say Nigeria didn’t show Rwandans that they’re the better side or the giants of Africa (which in recent times is only in name) but it was an exceptional performance by the Rwandan goal keeper that kept the goal sheet minimal. The Brilliance of Fiacre Ntwari who always turns into a prime Buffon each time he faces Nigeria and this is a goalkeeper who doesn’t even start for his club Kaizer Chiefs. Though our boys should have done more, even Lookman there was a rebound he should have buried but it was a double save for Fiacre Ntwari. If not for the goalkeeper Nigeria should have had atleast 3 goals but we just have to focus on beating South Africa, no matter what we’re still bigger than them.
I think our super falcons are even more confident in their matches than what the senior teams are doing and they are calling their self super eagles, is the eagle still flying or struggle to fly, in Africa today, I can boldly say it that Nigeria is not the best, while when rating for the best 3, they may hardly make it in, all these should be put into consideration because their confidence in their matches are diminishing gradually except they changed a lot about how they playing and regain back their lost fortune to stand strong among the other African countries.
