“Playing in the World Cup is the dream of every player”
“Representing close to 200million Nigerians at the Mundial is also something to be proud of”
“I feel disappointed that we could not advance into the second round”
“And I am here apologizing to Nigerians and my teammates over the chance I missed”
“I understand we could have progressed if I finished perfectly”
“I take the blame for everything that went wrong” Ighalo added.
Ighalo had two very clear chances when brought in the second half by head coach Gernot Rohr to replace Kelechi Iheanacho.
