Brazil World Cup: See How Fans Rate Supers Eagles’ Strikers

Football fans in Lagos on Saturday rated the strikers of the Super Eagles selected for the World Cup in Brazil as an average lot.

In separate interviews in Lagos they said that they did not expect the strikers to score a lot of goals at the World Cup.
The strikers are Osaze Odemwinge, Victor Moses, Emmanuel Emenike, Babatunde Michael, Ahmed Musa, Obinna Nsofor, Shola Ameobi and Nnamdi Odumadi.

Dan Ikpoyi, a photo journalist, said that he did not expect the strikers to be so proficient in scoring goals because the likes of Ike Uche and Brown Ideye are absent.

“I do not expect a lot of efficiency since we did not go with Ike Uche that has a fighting spirit and Brown Ideye that likes to play behind a main striker for rebounds.

The hero of Nigeria's victorious outing at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Sunday Mba has expressed his utter disappointment after being dropped from the Nigerian squad that will take part in the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
