Super eagles of Nigeria have once again failed to qualify for an AFCON Tournament, and once again they lost the ticket at home, ironically the game ended in a 2-2 draw, exactly the same scoreline it ended against guinea 3 years ago in Abuja, a scoreline that ensured that the eagles did not qualify for the AFCON Tournament held in Gabon and Equatorial guinea.
.The super eagles will definitely have themselves to blame after the likes of Ahmed Musa and Ike Uche where guilty of squandering clear cut chances in the 1st half, the south Africans who played one man(Tokelo Rantie 17) and he was more than enough to kick Nigeria out of title defence in Equatorial Guinea with 2 goals and nearly getting a 3rd but for the sharpness of skipper Enyeama.
Tokelo Rantie took advantage of a jittery Eagles defence to fire home before half time and rounded up a brilliant display when he again snatched the ball from a stumbling Kenneth omeruo to round enyeama and slot home. It was now the turn of attacker Sone Aluko to save the blushes as he scored twice before the whistle to ensure that the Uyo stadium isn't opened with a loss.
Nigeria has never had a chance to defend a title she won either in 1980, 1994 or most recently 2013.
NFF President came out yesterday to say that he should be blamed for the failure of the Eagles to qualify but we all know one man can't be blamed for this.
What's your take?
