NIGERIA AND SPAIN: Casualties Of Their Status - Sports. by Nobody: 9:43pm On Oct 11, 2014
The true test of
success lies in one's ability to always stay
at the top. Football is a game that requires result (winning), anything short spells doom! But lets think about it the other way round.

If Spain as the reigning European champion could lose 2-1 to lowly
rated Slovakia
yesterday, Nigeria as the incumbent African champion losing 1-0 to
Sudan shouldn't be seen as the end of the road for the team and
its leadership.

I know many Nigerians may say "its time for Keshi to quit" but for me thats not the case.

Our recent
predicaments is a
direct consequence of our status as
champions and our
inability at the
moment to live up to that expectation just
like Spain.

Once you are the
champion, teams learn to park the bus when they play against you
and you find it dificult to penetrate and breakdown the opposition defence. Thats what is happening to Nigeria and Spain at the moment.

What the Super Eagles need now is suport,
improved playing style,
commitment
and detailed tactical analysis/ aproach to
twart the oppositions.

IT IS NOT YET TIME TO CALL FOR CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP.

Even the German squad (world champions) lost 2-0 to Poland today. Who could have predicted that?

there is a huge difference between German/Spain and Nigeria.German and Spain were only unlucky but Nigeria didn't play football at all. There was no any game plan or tactics in all our matches. Keshi is completely inept at coaching.
