Football is dead in Nigeria, says OkochaThe ex-international believes the coach Stephen Keshi and his men are not to blame for Nigeria’s defeat to Sudan in Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifierOct 11, 2014 22:31:00FormerNigeriacaptainAustine Okochahas refused to blame the either the Super Eagles or the head coachStephen Keshifor their 1-0 defeat to Sudan in Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Khartoum. A ferocious header by striker Bakri Abd Elgadir in the closing stages of the first half which left goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama no chance ensuredthe hosts got the better of the African champions who put every foot wrong in the encounter.The result means Nigeria now walk a tight rope towards qualifying for the biannual Africa football showpiece billed for Morocco in 2015.According to Okocha who lamented via his twitter handle following the Eagles’ defeat to the Falcons of Jediane, the result was a confirmation that Nigeria football is no where to be found while making a casefor the ‘big boss’ and his players"Anyone that blames Keshi or the boys is short sighted. Our football is long dead and gone. This is just the confirmation” Okocha tweeted.Anyone that blames Keshi or the boys is short sighted. Our football is long dead and gone. This is just the confirmation.-Jay-Jay Okocha (@IAmOkocha) October 11, 2014The reigning African champions are now placed at the base of the table in Group A with a point from three matches while South Africa with 2-0 victory over Congo away from home are ranked first with seven points.Nigeria will welcome Sudan to Abuja in next Wednesday's match as they attempt to revive their now slim chances of reaching Morocco in January.

I think If any one says football is dead in nigeria because we lost to sudan or didn't qualify then that person must be silly. Ok, we didn't qualify in 2011 but we ahead to win the 2013 edition so how do you atest that. Poland beat the almighty Germany that won the most prestigious trophy in the world with the same class of players. Nigeria will bounce back stronger.
