The difference between Nigeria and the next highest ranked team in group B of the African Nations Cup is 10, with the least ranked 33, but no team here is a push over says Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun.
Nigeria returns to the continent’s biggest football showpiece after missing out on two editions, but the Eagles who are three-times winners are one of the favorites in Egypt.
Regardless, Balogun who is making his first appearance in the competition believes, no team is a pushover.
The 30 year-old address expectations of fans especially with the luck of draw for the Super Eagles.
