Bros with iWobi present age and form he won't make England form, forget that he score 2 goals yesterday, iwobi is not average player, he is below average, he need to improve otherwise nigeria will drop him too
I disagree with you on the matter of being average or below it. HE IS INDEED AN AVERAGE PLAYER, and a good striker too. Did you see the first goal he scored yesterday, and the only goal he scored against Zambia? Those goals were the same style and classic, few players or strikers have the ability to score such (he didn't make any attempt to balance before striking because he fired immediately the ball reached him). The assist leading to those 2 goals came from the sides of box 18, and he skillfully directed his foot kicking the ball to the goal post dodging the keeper with it. Even Iheanacho may not score goals like that. You know why? Go and study past strikers and midfielders in Nigeria and other Africa countries, most of their strikes kicks ball to heaven as if they never trained to shoot as a striker. Have yu been impressed by Emenike or Ideye's strikes? Or even Ahmed Musa? Iwobi knows how to focus goal post and keeps the ball low ( I give him kudus for that), he may make mistakes but seldom fvcks up when striking. Most goals in the qualifiers, he scored it, and YES he is average enough, he only needs to work harder because he is a yung and rising talent.

Iwobi would have played for England for sure. Quit that rubbish negative attitude!

The boy is a top player for arsenal. What does that tell you? Is there any top Arsenal player that does not feature regularly for his national team??
Bros forget it! iwobi wouldn't feature much... I doubt he'll get up to 20 caps if he were to rep england.

comes with both front/back camera which records simultaneously while driving. Also comes with OFFLINE navigation map which you don't need internet, comes with car monitoring app to monitor your car from anywhere, Bluetooth CALLS, video and audio support etc.

What does it cost to own one? I'm interested in buying one if the price is right.

You are wrong! Alaba loves Nigeria. He wanted to play for Nigeria but the then NFA frustrated that move. When his club,Bayern won the champion league,he demonstrated his love for Nigeria by flying Nigeria's flag. He even wrapped it around his body. Alaba loves Nigeria.

Honestly he stands a better chance of winning trophies at the national level with Nigeria..because neither England nor Nigeria are ever going to win the world cup but at least Nigeria has a better chance of winning the AFCON than England have of winning Euros.

na today you know say many Nigerians no sabi anything?
Many of them make controversial statements to show '' I sabi football'' mentality.
Who in England midfield is Iwobi not better than? The English are still saddened by his lose.
Iwobi is a winger, where do you think he will survive in a wing containing Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford (who can also be a ruthless winger, same with Daniel Sturridge), Oxlade Chamberlain even benched Iwobi in Arsenal. The best he will do is make the bench. A player like Lingaard who is on the same level with Iwobi only manages the bench
Sorry, it's you that know nothing about football not that fellow. You people just say shiit with Nationality sentiment

If Tammy Abraham today, switches allegiance to Nigeria it's only because he couldn't make the England squad, same thing Victor Moses did, Ola Aina did and Shola Ameobi

Mind you, England national team never called him up, so he's wrong to use the word snub
