Let's congratulate Congo Brazzaville for winning their very first African Youth Championship in Football against a lacklustre Nigerian team, who are the defending champions! Bravo to the Congolese Red Devils!! The Nigerian delegation should join their host-brethren in celebrations: Congo deserved the win.
If it is any consolation, the Nigerian Flying Eagles have however earned their ticket for the FIFA World Youth Championship, Canada 2007.
For my country, what we saw in Congo is a disgrace and betrayal of our 140million hope in junior soccer! We have far better young legs than the FA sent to the tournament. We certainly have better and smarter materials than the joke which the managers represent. Pity.
Nigerians don't mind losing; but doing so with our Best Eleven is a task that must be done.
This team, warts and all, must be disbanded. Berti Vogts should help put one together right away, and hand it over to a new foreign coach. After May, we must look at Nigerian SPORTS again. This country deserve more and better than the extant convulsion and debasement of our national heritage, our national pride.
MTN or Celtel or Dangote or UBA or Zenith or Zenon or NBL should proudly pick the tabs.
