Ngeriain midfielder Joe Aribo is still smarting from the manner in which the Super Eagles lost a ticket to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
About three weeks from now, the 2022 World Cup will begin in Qatar without the Super Eagles, who failed to qualify for the first winter edition of the tournament after losing to West African rivals Ghana on the away goal rule.
The Eagles were caged in Ghana playing out a 0-0 draw then a 1-1 result at home ensured Ghana went through.
Aribo, who started both games in the playoff against the Black Stars, has admitted that missing out on the World Cup is one of the lowlights of his career.
Since landing at the St Mary’s Stadium, Aribo has been used in a variety of positions for the Saints including attacking midfielder, left midfielder, center forward, right midfielder and right winger.
