Published: May 20, 2019
The Super Eagles must be wary of their supposed weak opposition in Group B of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt according to ace comedian Ayodeji Richard Makun better known in the entertainment industry as AY.
AY who spoke to allnigeriasoccer.com opines that Burundi, Guinea and Madagascar will not be too easy to overcome as is widely expected by football faithful in Nigeria.
"The group that we find ourselves (Group B) looks easy for us but sometimes when it looks easy, that's when it becomes difficult.
"Nigerian teams sometimes don't start tournaments well. They improve as the tournament progresses. But I hope the Eagles start very well.
"We shouldn't throw caution to the wind but trust me, if we get past the group stages, the Nations Cup is 'coming home' (Nigeria)," AY stated.
