Yeah, this really looks like one of their best games so far in a long while. On a normal Nigeria has a good squad and if properly managed will definitely go far, where I was angry is the fact that before this game they were in 4th place after playing four games which is not supposed to be where a team like Nigeria should be in such a group that has those kinda teams in it. Kudos to them for the win, at least they have been lifted from the position they were previously.

Well, you shouldn't be angry at the players actually it was due to poor coaching management and techniques from the previous coaches who handled those previous four games that led the Super Eagles to this difficult position where they're now struggling on a slim hope of qualifying in their group. Now Nigeria would have to win their next match against Zimbabwe to get 9 points and hope that Rwanda or Benin Republic draw or lose in their next match for Nigeria to stand a chance of qualifying in that group, perhaps by goals difference. Which is why they would need to score as much goals as they could get in their next game.

You are right though, sometimes we blame players too because they are the ones in the field of play and they are the ones who makes actions to happen, but at the same time it's the coaches who are in charge of the tactics and formation of the game. If they put players in positions that they can't function then they are the problem, but what if players are all put in their strategic positions and they still don't perform? I really get your point though.
