Very poor this evening.



Edit:

I am tired




Who bet on this match are now losing.
It's indeed a a sad day for the Home based Super Eagles. This might another indication that the Nigerian Football Federation didn't choose the right coach. Coach Eric Chelle have now been impressive since he resumed as the national team coach. Nigeria is technically out of the African Nations Championship, a sad realty indeed.

I don't think the fault lies solely with the coach, because the players poor performances are also to be blame. The selection process seems flawed, and it's embarrassing for Nigeria to have conceded 4 goals against Sudan. We have talented players in Nigeria, and even in a local team from one state they may have a strong lineup of players who can represent us effectively.  I am not trying to condemn them, but I always anticipate Nigeria to win over any African teams, and based on head-to-head records Nigeria outperformed Sudan. and as it is today, I don't think they have any possibility of qualifying for this African Nations Championship again because they are the last in the table.
One of the major problems that the coach has faced is the selection problem, trust me if a proper selection had been done, we wouldn't have lost to Sudan with those numbers of goals. An indigenous coach would have done a better selection by reflecting on the performance of each player from the domestic league, though he might have technical assistance from Nigeria but it would have been different if he was a Nigerian, at least nobody will tell him or recommend to him who to use, he would have selected based on his own assesment.
