To some extent, I blame the coach for making the match looks like that, and the players for misusing the opportunities they had in the early minutes of the match; Nigeria could have scored more than two goals in the first half to end the match as early as possible, but they played as usual and let us down at the end of the match. Kudos to South Africa for keeping it up till they get a goal in the match because I do know why the Nigerian players were so comfortable with just one goal.
After all it’s a draw, let’s keep pushing, all I know is that we have players that when properly managed, they can lead us to the World Cup and do something better.
I knew from time that the manager will get criticized when the Super Eagles lose a game. We had a draw and people are still calling out the coach that he’s not fit for the club. Nigerians are quick to pick a target to blame for the team’s failures whether it is a coach or a player. I only hope we do not find ourselves in a place where we get into a discussion of if Peseiro was a better Super Eagles manager than Finidi George.
