And they say naija no dey carry last. Too bad, must we always be seen at the bottom. Am sure if it was a foreign coach, we would have been among the top five just because he's an home based coach, someone that has qualifed a nation to the world cup twice is the least paid!, Amodu qualifies as a world class coach anywhere in the word. The sooner we stop these oyibo(white man) syndrome, the better, if Amodu was a foreign coach, he'll have entered the history book of Nigeria, and will always be used as a reference even in more than 20years time, and would be described as the best coach Nigeria has ever had. Giant of Africa indeed. Nigeria is fast losing it's self decorated, acclaimed grip as The Giant of Africa. **shakes head in scorn**

Amodu said we shouldn't expect much in Angola, I know this is the worst thing a coach could say, but this is the same thing Michael Ballack said about the German national team and that he knows the team is not one of the favorites to win the world cup, we "Nigerians" were saying it was just a strategy to shift attention away from the German national team, so why can't we assume that it's the same thing Amodu is trying to do. From history, anytime Nigeria is not among the favorites, in a competition they spring up suprises(aside senior world cup), and whenever the players say we'll die for our country, we'll give them hell, they end up messing up big time. So let's just assume it's a strategy by Amodu to shift away attention from the super eagles, then come as the underdogs. Mind you, no coach goes into a competition with the plan of going there to fail. So let's give him a chance and stop the criticism. By the way action they say speak louder than words.
