AS the rest of the world map out strategies for the World Cup after going through the tough qualifiers, Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, are still groping over the choice of Coach that would lead the Eagles to Mandela’s Rainbow nation after they scraped through the skin of the teeth. Coach Amodu Shuaibu who guided the Eagles to their second world cup qualification was said to have divided the NFF over his continued stay .

The facilities in Kaduna that hosted some of the games of the recent Fifa Under-17 World Cup would face yet another test as it hosts the final of this year’s CBN All Financial Institutions Football Competition, which has been scheduled to hold next month.

After 45 minutes of play Uwakwe Eke could not hold back his views.
“What is happening? Why are our players no longer daring? Why do they not show commitment? This game is dull, no exciting moments, no fire on both sides.”

Indications are rife that a Technical Adviser would be hired for the Eagles even though the Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation rose from its meeting yesterday to announce that Shaibu Amodu be allowed to retain his position as the team’s Chief Coach.

Globacom Limited, the Official Sponsor of the National Teams of Nigeria has rejected claims by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that it has defaulted in the payment of the sponsorship fee for 2009 and says it may seek redress in court if the federation fails to retract the statement.
