Ahmed Musa has 98 Caps not 100, Celebrations Delayed

Olusola

FIFA says Ahmed Musa has played 98 times for Nigeria , Nigerian Football Federation  said 100…., And the winner is… FIFA. 

NFF made the claim after Nigeria’s 2-1 win over Cape Verde in a World cup qualifier played on September 7th. 

Actually, Ahmed Musa had played 100 matches for the Super Eagles but two of those matches were not recognized by FIFA. One was a world cup qualifying game between Nigeria and Algeria in 2018 which ended 1-1, but the match was awarded to Algeria because Nigeria fielded an ineligible player. The second was a friendly against togo in 2017 in which Nigeria won 3-0 but the game was declared unofficial by FIFA.

However the NFF after admitting their error said Ahmed Musa will complete his 100 caps when he features in the home and away matches against the Central African Republic in October.

Chelsea’s Title Credentials on the Line against Liverpool this Weekend

Olusola
Liverpool vs Chelsea

Chelsea will take on an in-form and full strength Liverpool side at Anfield this weekend. Both sides have won their first 2 matches so far. This match promises to be mouth watering.

Chelsea were excellent against Arsenal last time out. But we can argue that Arsenal performed poorly sometimes during the game.

It will be interesting to see how Lukaku fares against Van Dijk. How the Chelsea defence will survive against the attacking threat  posed by Salah and Mane.

We should also note that Chelsea under Tomas Tuchel have mastered a way of beating strong sides including Manchester City, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and the like. Liverpool must prepare very well for this game as any mistake on their part could cost them.
