Yesterday, July 10, Ghana finaly and effectively dented Nigerias hope of
playing at the All African Games in Maputo, Mozambique.
Earlier, the Black Princess of Ghana edged out the Super Falcons to
book the tickets to the event ahead of them.
Now the Black Meteors of Ghana has beaten the Dream team Five of
Nigeria which means Nigeria ‘The Giant of Africa’ wont be
participating in any football even at the All African Games.
After wining 3-1 in Benin, the Dream team five looked good to qualify
and reterliate on behalf of the Super Falcons but where trashed and
did Nigeria a double blow.
In the buildup to the game, it was reported that the Nigerian team
were ‘badly treated’ in Ghana. It was reported that substandard
facilities were given to them and on saturday, 9 June, their training
session ended with atacks from Ghanian fans.
Kudos to Ghana if thats a tactics because it was grievously felt as
they came out victorious at the end.After 90mins, the Black Meteors
won two-nil without a single reply from the Dream team. Scoring one
goal each in either halves.
On two fronts, Ghana has proven to be a better team than Nigeria. Male
and Female Football.The Bragging right has be lost
What Next? Is Austin Eaguavon getting it right? Where Is Nigeria
Football Heading to.
Something must be done and it must be done quickly. The Big Question
now is.. ”What Is Needed To Be Done??”
It is heart rending that we lost to Ghana at this level and with a 3 – 1 advantage from the first leg, Austin Eguavoen could not do what Siasia did way back then against the same Ghana. I submit that the NFA should overhaul the technical team and the players.. Eguavoen has shown his incompetence and we should stop recycling him. Let him go and coach a club side to learn the ropes.
hmm.. Very well said.. Maybe they should just give him a little more time
