Nigeria Fans Reaction
Tunde: “Taken
at Face value, playing Mexico, Scotland and USA national teams may not
contribute much to the build up of Super Eagles team ahead of the FIFA World
Cup in Brazil. Why? Nigeria is scheduled to play Argentina – a South American
team; Bosnia – a European Scandinavian team and Iran – an Asian team in the
group stage of the world cup. So it doesn’t make much sense to me why Super
Eagles should be playing a Scottish and North American teams in preparation of
the mundial.”
Mathew: “The
target for any team in Brazil is to win the world cup, period! Any coach asking
for a different target short of becoming champion of the world shouldn’t be at
the mundial. If Nigeria can’t win the world cup, then we have no business going
to Brazil. That’s why I think NFF should strategically select the right countries
for International Friendly games.”
While
Cameroun is playing countries like Portugal, Germany; and Ghana playing Spain,
Brazil; Nigeria choose to play outsiders like Mexico, Scotland and USA. That
gives me the idea that Nigeria isn’t planning to win the world cup at all.”
James: “Strategically
speaking, Super Eagles should be planning how to beat the current world
champions –Spain; Confederations cup Champions and host – Brazil and then
Germany. If you have been following world football and how German clubs, Bayern
Munich and Borussia Dortmund dominated UEFA Champions league last year 2013 and
many pundits have predicted that Germany may likely be the next world champions.
NFF should have schedule international friendly games with countries like these
to strengthen Super Eagles game plan,”
Although,
Alaya said there is still possibility of getting one or two more friendly games
before the world cup proper. But we would like to know your own opinion
regarding the already scheduled International friendly and the Super Eagles
entire world cup preparation plans and strategies.
