Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has said that Africa has no reason to fear any team in the world anymore.
Oliseh was reacting to the final result of Senegal’s international friendly 3-1 win against England at City Ground on Tuesday.
Recall that Senegal became the first Africa country to beat England, thanks to goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly.
Captain Harry Kane scored England’s only goal of the encounter against Senegal.
However, in a tweet post his X account on Wednesday, Oliseh said: “The introduction of the European Nations League eliminated almost all possible international friendly matches Windows.
“That, in my opinion, is the only reason Teams like England do not get beaten often by African teams.
“The gap is no longer that significant, unlike in the 80’s. Africa has no reason to fear any team in the world anymore!”
England’s next game is against Andorra in the World Cup qualifier in September, while Senegal will face Sudan.
