Ex- International Benedict Iroha has added his voice to the already vociferous atmosphere on whether the Eagles deserve to be in the forthcoming World Cup in South Africa.
The former Eagles defender told Sunday Vanguard that the Eagles deserve to be at the World Cup, despite the uninspired and unimpressive performance of the team. He assured that the players will lift their game when they qualify for the World Cup.
“Undoubtedly, to be in the the World Cup is never easy if you ask me. There are so many countries fighting hard to be in the competition. Our own case is not a new thing.
“I believe when they qualify, there will be an adjustment in their game. Remember the game against France you could see how the players lifted their game and defeated them. So in this case, I know there will be a transformation when they qualify,â€Iroha assured.
However, he described the World Cup qualifier against Mamba of Mozambique as difficult. Adding that football has changed globally because there are no longer minnows in world football
