Argentina Media Mock Super Eagles : They Drew 0-0 With 113th Ranked Rwanda
Published: January 17, 2018
Argentina media were left bemused in the wake of the Super Eagles goalless draw with Rwanda at the ongoing 2018 African Nations Championship in Morocco.
The South Americans have been monitoring the performances of the Nigerian National Team as they are in the same World Cup group along with Croatia and Iceland.
''Nigeria, Argentina's rival in the World Cup, started the African Nations Championship with a 0-0 draw against Rwanda, a 113th-ranked team. This tournament is played with players from the local league,'' wrote Argentina's most influential sports daily Ole.
Of the 23 players named in Nigeria's roster for the African Nations Championship, the truth is only Enyimba netminder Ikechukwu Ezenwa stands a chance of being on the plane to Russia in June.
Argentina will clash with Nigeria for the fifth time at the World Cup on June 26 at Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg.
The two-time world champions face Italy and Spain in March as part of their preparations for the mundial.
