NFF President Sani Lulu Abdullahi yesterday apologized to the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, other leaders and eminent Nigerians and indeed the generality of Nigerians for the Super Eagles’ poor showing in Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Tunisia in Abuja.

Officials of the Nigeria Football Federation and members of the Super Eagles, went into hiding after Nigeria faltered to an annoying 2-2 draw against Tunisia’s Carthage Eagles at the Abuja National Stadium.

They clinched their fists, pumped the air and hugged, commending each other for a job well done.
The way the Tunisians celebrated their 2_2 draw with Nigeria in yesterday’s World Cup qualifier told their story.

Shamed Super Eagles coach, Shuaibu Amodu, insulted the sensibilities of bitter Nigerian fans, who are still reeling in shock of an almost certain 2010 World Cup miss when he told reporters that he is still learning the ropes and that his clipped Eagles would still make it to South Africa.

Hosts for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations forced the Teranga Lions to a draw in a build-up game thanks to an own goal.
The Palancas Negras of Angola held Senegal to a 1-1 draw in a build-up game to next year’s Africa Cup of Nations, which they will host.
