Siasia Pulls Off PR Stunt By Handing Call-Up To Leon Balogun

Super Eagles manager Samson Siasia has pulled off a public relations stunt by handing an invitation to FSV Mainz 05 stopper Leon Balogun for the African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt.<br /><br />Balogun was not included on the list of 20 foreign-based professionals named on Thursday but has been summoned for both matches after a public outcry from the Super Eagles faithful.<br /><br />&ldquo;I am excited at the debate that has been generated by the team list. You can never satisfy everyone,&rdquo; said Samson Siasia.<br /><br />&ldquo;The important thing is that we know the players we want for these big games and we have invited them, and we believe in them to deliver.&rdquo;<br /><br />Balogun,27, has not featured for the national team since the 3-0 win against Cameroon last October.<br /><b><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel</b><br />
