Stephen Keshi
believes that
Vincent Enyeama
cost Nigeria their
World Cup
progress with his blunder in their
2-0 last-16 defeat to France on
Monday.
The goalkeeper pulled off some super
stops to keep les Bleus at bay but
made a fatal error with 11 minutes
left on the clock, failing to clear a
corner which allowed Paul Pogba
to put Didier Deschamps' men into
the lead.
Joseph Yobo, on his 100th cap,
endured the pain of scoring an own-
goal in the last minute of the match
as the Super Eagles failed in their
goal to reach the World Cup
quarter-finals for the first time in
their history.
Keshi openly admitted that
Enyeama's error had handed the
game to France while hinting that
his players taking their eye off the
ball is to blame for Nigeria's latest
World Cup exit.
"Enyeama had to make a decision
and I don't know why he went for
it like that," he told reporters. "It's
his call and it cost us. It was a big
moment."I don't know why African
teams don't go further. If I were
out there on the pitch, I would
never want to go home. Probably
some of the players are not focused
enough. We will have to review
this."
Keshi also admitted that recent
behind-the-scenes protests over
Nigeria's World Cup bonuses had
been down to "cultural issues", with
fellow African nations Ghana and
Cameroon also seeing their players
go head-to-head with football
associations over post-tournament
pay-outs.
Nigeria will be heading home from
Brazil after the defeat, while
France are set to face Germany or
Algeria in the last eight.

Abeg let Keshi go and rest joor! Enyeama was outstanding. 9ja pressed the French in the first half, why couldn't they score?
when keshi was like Yobo, he couldn't even kick the ball properly. Abegggi. Keshi, go and rest or better still, go to south Africa

This is not time for blame games Mr. Keshi. The mistake has been done and such mistakes should be prevented in the future.

Did Enyeama stop Keshi's strikers from re-equaling the goal and further scoring a winner?

i heard he resign already..He should jst go nt Forgetting his brother Mikel...
they are both clueless

It's easy to blame Enyeama na. Why didn't he blame the Mikel and Yobo who were clueless?

Enyeama was motm,but he still made the error that led to the goal.so whose fault was that

A bad mason blames his tools for his poor delivery. I think we need a new coach badly

Just mistakes. E wan catch ball quick quick. happened in d 2 occasions. He shouldn't b out of his goal so much, trying to get d ball in d midst of two players

I blame Keshi

We lost the match because Onazi and Mikel had no adequate replacements

Thanks to Keshi for his services to country though

But if the Super Eagles had won the World Cup you will be here telling us how Jonathan's Fresh Air is breathing down their Lungs.

@POST:
The Eagles to faced the French team with all seriousness. I thank Enyima, Osaze, Moses, Yobo, Onazi and the entire team for their effort. God bless Nigeria.
