[quote]After the crisis that threatened to foil Nigeria’s participation at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup,the Super Eagles have finally touched down in Brazil for the competition.

Nigeria’s participation would have been scuttled,after the Super Eagles blatantly refused to board the plane after their World Cup qualifier against Namibia,over bonus row with the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF).

With the long drawn row,the Super Eagles missed their flight to Johannesburg,South Africa,where they would have connected to Sao Paulo,Brazil; which ultimately led to the disruption of their travel plans.

But after government’s intervention and also FIFA’s role in ensuring that the Super Eagles arrived in Brazil last night,and with the aid of the chartered flight that FIFA provided,they got to Belo Horizonte,around 3am on Sunday.

“We are most grateful to the Sports minister for his intervention in the matter, which means the team can now travel to Brazil on Saturday and arrive in Belo Horizonte before the first match against Tahiti on Monday,” said Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) general secretary Musa Amadu.

Nigeria will now play their first game of the competition on Monday against Oceanian champions,Tahiti[/quot[b][/b]
However, my worry now is that will late arrival of Super Eagles not affect their game on Monday?

Thank God o

nigeria top official are not helping matters at all, they are not trying to help sports. What happened the
money we won at south africa nations cup? Why financial restrain.

Sam okwaraji plays for charity. George Weah spends his personal money for his country football. Where is patriotism? shame on them for making stupid headlines over bonus.
The home based players will take whatever they get but the so called big boys will have elephant and still hunting for mouse and cricket.

NFF abi NFA na the worst. I thought they have fixed price of matches won, draw or lost?

Cough

After watching Spain dismantle Uruguay, I was partly hoping they will get there late and be disqualified. Anyway, let us see how it goes.

I believe this is specially fabricated as an excuse for a would -be woeful performance. u just watch out.
