Ghana fans brag about winning Super Eagles on seeing Nigeria squad list.
The NFF have released the Super Eagles squad list for the crucial World Cup qualifier double header against the Black Stars of Ghana later this month.
The squad list comprises of 25 players- three goalkeepers, eight defenders, five midfielders, and nine attackers. There are also seven players on standby.
Asides the Qatar 2022 tickets, the game is also a battle for pride, as the two sides are arguably the best teams from West Africa.
After the release of the list, some top Ghanaian journalists took to their social media to share their thoughts on Augustine Eguavoen’s squad selection.
Strong attack, average defense, okay midfield. A lot of battlers in the middle, little creativity.
Kudus, Duncan, Partey can handle Nigeria's midfield quite comfortably. They just need to STEP UP!! https://t.co/DKMbNwDSOy

Nigeria are so stacked upfront to the extent that Taiwo Awoniyi, who was their main striker during the AFCON, is on standby.

Nigeria team to face Ghana in two-legged qualifier includes Osimhen, Dennis, Lookman, Ighalo, Etebo, Balogun (all didn't make AFCON squad for varying reasons).
Balanced team, stronger than the side taken to Cameroon.
Ghana to name squad next week. #JoySports pic.twitter.com/bTdFoRNwvF

You guys are talking about how Ghana are going to deal with their attack but not about how they are going to deal with our attack

Weak midfield, weak central defense, weak goalkeeping! This team is average at best…. Has no chance to get out of the group in the World Cup !!!

The most popular opinion among them was the boisterous attacking prowess of the Super Eagles. However, they also spoke on lack of creativity in the Nigerian midfield.
The AFCON group stage champions are very beatable. This reminds me of our 2006 World Cup game against Czech.

Also, despite their poor outing at the last Africa Cup of Nations, the Ghanaian fans are still confident of a victory against Nigeria.
The Ghanaians will release their squad next week.
