Damn.
Still cannot believe that Nigeria did not qualify for the Nations Cup. When I look at Ghana and Ivory Coast, those were two pretty average teams that a Super Eagles team with that swagger and flow would have EASILY beat. But the reality is they did not qualify, and Nigerian football is in the darkness.
The only way out of it is to go back in the past and get some SUPERSTARS that can help inspire the team.
But it's Moses who I focus on, who to this day I still believe is Nigeria' best footballer and an underrated player. The point I am trying to make is Nigeria are lacking in individual talent. Without three or four players with that high quality, then Nigeria just cannot play to their potential.
Some teams play well as a team like Ghana and Germany whilst others like Brazil and Nigeria have to have their two or three superstars who drive the team forward.
As this Nations Cup showed, he is a club player and not an international one. But ask Ajax old-timers what Finidi George did for them, and we all know he always gave his best for Nigeria as one of THE BEST and probably the best winger that Africa has ever produced.
So for the future of Nigerian football, Iheanacho and co MUST be called in, and nurtured into the level of playing senior football. Because the talent is there. Nigeria are the under-seventeen champions, so why are these young boys not thrown into the lion's den? Because I am sorry, if I see Mikel in a Nigerian jersey acting like he is worth anything I will Suarez the nearest thing to me.
Football is very important in my fatherland. More things are important, such as sorting out the damn country and ERADICATING corruption, but excelling at ANYTHING even at getting a ball inside a fishnet can raise the morale of a country and if used well can feed into improving other aspects of the country.
So Keshi, if he still coach, NFF, the losers who can hardly do anything right, GET A YOUTH SYSTEM WORKING AND TRY AND INTEGRATE SOME QUALITY INTO A TEAM THAT IS BEGGING FOR SOME OF IT.
