Former Chelsea and England Captain, John Terry, insisted yesterday that Nigeria’s Super Eagles will be a big miss at the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicking off today with co-host Mexico taking on South Africa in the opening game.
Speaking yesterday in a virtual media round table, JT, as he’s fondly called at Stamford Bridge, stressed that the World Cup without the likes of Nigeria and Cameroon that have become football powerhouses in the African continent will certainly be a big miss.
“Nigeria will be a big miss. This is a World Cup for participants who haven’t had the opportunity to play in the tournament. I would have loved to see the top team, like Nigeria, be there because they’ve got some great individuals,” observed John Terry who played alongside Nigeria’s John Mikel Obi at Chelsea.
