I did not want to write anything about the ongoing African Nations Cup in Angola untill i watched the Super Eagles play. After seeing the likes of Ivory Coast and the rest play, it was time to watch my own team play defending champions Egypt in Benguela. What can i say, the Super Eagles disappointed every Nigerian by losing to the Pharoahs.
The Egyptians started cautiously, but when they went behind to Chinedu Ogbuke’s clinical finish in the twelveth minute, they upped the tempo and eventually caught a flat footed Nigerian defense off guard to benefit from Vincent Enyeama’s ill timed run to equalise.
The Egyptian equalizer did not surprise me much, what did was the way the Nigeria team approached the match in the second half, just passing the ball around as if they had 3 goal advantage. How on earth would a team play such football at such a level. No tactical nor technical soundness.
Just how long will Nigerians be subjected to that sort heartbreak, and how many matches will we play and lose before Amodu is finally shown the door out of that team?
But for patriotism in my blood, i would have wished that we don’t even qualify for the next round so that everybody will see just how technically and tactically inefficient Shaibu Amodu really is.
