It will be more disappointing to lose at home than to have lost in the away game, even though losing is not an option in any of these games.
Alot is at stake for the Zimbabwean - their government has put a bounty pool on the game against Nigeria; I'm hearing $10k per player if they manages to beat Nigeria in Akwa Ibom this week. That's enough motivation for them.
Formerly, I used to hear this for the Super Eagles players—that players were being promised rewards as an incentive to win important games like this. What happened to those times?
Has the economy become that bad?
Yeah I saw the news and it appears that the Zimbabwean president promised $150,000 for the national team if they manage to win Super Eagles away.
I find this very personal since the economy of Zimbabwe isn't that good to throw rewards like that, even though it might appears nothing for European players or Saudi Pro League ones but I assume for Zimbabwean it is a lot of money.
For Nigeria, I don't think they see this game like their rivals, it doesn't worth, if Nigerian players ready then they will win regardless of the prize.
