Despite losing 1-3 to defending champions Egypt in their opening game of the 27th Africa Cup of Nations, the Super Eagles still got $5,000 (about N740,000) for five shots on target, courtesy of Tom Tom, the Official Candy of the Nigerian national football teams.

Once again, the Eagles fell short of expectations at the Nations Cup as they failed to hold out against Egypt in their group C opening match yesterday.

You don’t have a job anymore. Nigerian football is dead. What will you be reporting now?”
This was the way Delta Sports Boss, Amaju Pinnick started in his reaction to yesterday’s 3-1 defeat of the Green Eagles to Egypt in the on-going Nations Cup. He was baring his mind to this reporter.

Horror! Soccer fans in the Federal Capital Territory last night loudly screamed that the Eagles Chief Coach, Shaibu Amodu might not survive the group stage of the African Cup of Nations in Angola While expressing disappointment over the Eagles inability to overrun the Pharaohs, Uche Mba said Amodu do not know when to make effective change.

Let me repeat an argument. That one of the reasons why the leadership of the supporters club in Nigeria can afford to be uncomfortable with the Vuvuzela, is because they feel threatened.
