Agu, who is now a highly respected pastor and motivational speaker, declared: “Everthing is possible. It is not over until it’s over. This is football and, as long as it’s called football, everything is possible. Everything is always possible in football until the final whistle.”
He also admitted that his confidence in seeing Nigeria get a USA/Canada/Mexico 2026 World Cup ticket has been boosted by the recent deduction of three points from South Africa’s total haul, on account of their fielding an inelligible player.
“We thank God for FIFA applying the normal rule regarding the deduction of three points. So, we are happy, we are hopeful, and we thank God that it came now,” Agu submitted.
