'Talking Trash' - Nigerians blast Aina after snubbing Saka to pick Rashford as the man Super Eagles need
Ola Aina believes Marcus Rashford’s explosive pace and direct style would be a game-changer for Nigeria’s Super Eagles, describing the England star as the perfect addition to the squad.
Walcott began by pitting Saka against Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, choosing the young Arsenal winger over the Welsh icon.
He then selected Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah over former teammate Sadio Mane, setting up a blockbuster semifinal.

In other matchups, Walcott picked Eden Hazard over Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo over David Beckham, creating intriguing semifinal clashes.
The real controversy came in the semifinals. Walcott, with a laugh, chose the 22-year-old Saka over Salah, a decision that raised eyebrows given the Liverpool star’s prolific Premier League record.

He also selected Ronaldo over Bale, leading to a dramatic final between Saka and the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
In the tense final, Walcott initially leaned toward Saka, praising his global impact: “I’m going Saka. Honestly, he’s global now. He’s incredible.”

However, after a pause, he backtracked, concluding, “But, Ronaldo. Sorry, Saka.”
Despite ultimately crowning Ronaldo, Walcott’s high praise for Saka and his earlier snubs of Salah, Giggs, and Mane have ignited fierce discussions among fans on social media.

“Stopped watching at Saka over Giggs,” one disappointed fan stated, “Saka over Giggs should bar you from being a pundit forever,” another added.
“That's why people can't stand Arsenal. The delusion needs to be studied,” another Premier League follower said.
