ReplyDeleteI didn't see victor moses name or am i dreaming? Iheanacho e don tey too
ReplyDeleteI think Victor Moses is injured, the reason for the exclusion. He's a great player for the Super Eagles of Nigeria...if fit.
ReplyDeleteElderson Echejile, a pity you had to be excluded. You're no longer performing well for club and country... We will win Algeria and lose to Argentina.
