Welcome To Nigeria Blog
This world cup blog impresses me in a way many others have failed to. Most foreign writers are fond of making comments on African/Nigerian issues despite the fact they are
not qualified to. Especially when football development is considered and. In my view none have been able to paint the vivid picture of the real issues. So to an extent, the World Club Blog sets a good example by leaving this task to those who are on ground in the countries concerned. Again I was also unimpressed that the blog on the power house of African football (Nigeria) was the least active. I am therefore glad to be here and to assure all fans of Nigerian Football that we are about to bring the excitement we are known for right into this blog. From Ghana 2008 through 2010 world cup in South Africa and maybe beyond we’ll have to see how things play out in Nigerian football and on this blog.
Now to the issues on ground. The super Eagles Camp in Malaga has Opened and the home based Eagles were billed to have arrived Camp on Thursday Jan 3rd 2007 while the foreign based legion were to follow suit next day. As I write this piece, information filtered to us yesterday that key players of the team will not arrive until maybe next week. Kanu Nwankwo and John Utaka has been held back by Redknap for this weekend’s games while Sam Allardyce too won’t let Obafemi Martins join his colleges until after the game with Manchester United.
These are key players and our problem is that, such delays in the past have proved disastrous to team fluidity even when we had had very good players. What is different now is that unlike the usual Nigerian team, we are dominated in the midfield these days due to lack of capable players in this department and Nigerians were hoping that if the team arrive camp early enough training together just might solve some of the teams problem.
While other countries are insisting on getting their players on time the Nigerian Football Association went into an agreement with these Clubs consenting to let the players stay with their teams over the weekend, yet we all want to win in Ghana 2008. It should be noted that only the cup will be accepted by Nigerians as we are all tired of winning Silver and Bronze. The Coach Berti Vogts should be allowed to run his team the way he knows best because he’ll be the only one responsible for the team’s success or failure.
Many years ago we were almost always certain of doing well in Africa’s Most Prestigious Football Competition. However, we now have teams like Mali, Cote D’voire, and Senegal who are joining Ghana, Cameroon and Egypt to challenge us for the title. All these teams are favourites with Ghana and Cote D’voire set to be the greatest obstacles on our way to winning this championship. This time the team has to be serious. It is set to be more difficult than it has ever been.
