Ex-Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni finally reacts to 2010 World Cup miss
Former Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has responded to his epic miss at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
To put it in a better context, Nigeria only got two points (could have lost both games, actually) playing against teams ranked far below them in the FIFA ranking - Zimbabwe is ranked 123rd in the world, while Lesotho is a hundred-plus places below, occupying the 153rd position.
Nigeria drew 1-1 with Lesotho in the first game, while South Africa beat Benin 2-1 to top the group. In the second game against Zimbabwe, many expected the Super Eagles to come out all guns blazing, but they disappointed once more.
Following the laborious and tasteless showings in both games, Nigerian football fans have urged the Nigerian Football Federation to part ways with Jose Peseiro.
Nigerian fans want home-based case to replace Peseiro
Pulse Sports Nigeria on Facebook asked if Jose Peseiro remains the right man to lead Nigeria to success at the upcoming African Cup of Nations (AFCON). The answer was an overwhelming 'NO.'
Many fans want the Super Eagles to have a local coach, preferably one of Nigeria’s ex-internationals - Emmanuel Amuneke, Austin Eguavoen, and Sunday Oliseh have all managed the Super Eagles at one time or the other.
