That Ola Aina is very suspect at the back. How he finds himself in a team of the tournament is beyond me. I would have put the ivorian youngster Simon Adringa or his compatriot Yousounou amongst the top performers. I understand it is based on minutes played as well position but quality matters too.
Of course ama kula yeka yeka as strikers how can they be included.
