Iwobi scares South Africa

South African fans, including the country legend Steven Pienaar, are all scared of Alex Iwobi forms ahead of crucial 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Super Eagles on Saturday, November 17 at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

In a series of tweets, the former Bafana Bafana star wrote “Every time I watch Iwobi I’m on the edge of my chair. Baller.” Pienaar also went on to taunt Iwobi’s uncle Jay-Jay Okocha in another tweet. “That pass from Alex Iwobi was hot. I’m 100% sure Jay Jay is smiling wherever he is.”

South African football fans who commented under the Pienaar’s tweet also showed concern about the Arsenal star’s quality and form. Charlie mavhaga @Charlie_mavhaga “And he is playing our beloved Bafana Bafana in just 2 weeks time..problem”
