It is now official that majority of the African teams had nothing to offer after all considering what we have just witnessed on this day first Thursday of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Nigeria's Green Eagles are clearly not super anymore and I wonder why Lars Lagerback was the head of that technical bench. How do you let your team play with a man less, and undeservedly so, becuase of your inability to make a quick tactical decision.
I was stripped of my pride as an African when on Echiejile's injury, Lagerback took a whole five minutes to decide who to come on and it was such a shame he brought a defender. My gamble here should have been - just throw in a striker in Obafemi Martins and pull back one midfielder, after all the match was already beyond them.
Anyway, even with the tragedy of Nigeria's poorest performance against a weak opponent in the group, am all smiles because of one Vincent Enyeama. The dude had a great delivery for the second day of his action in this world cup, ignore the fluffs he had already done enough to save his team, and I hope Arsenal boss Arsene wenger was watching or his scouts did. The comedies of Manuel Almunia now have a solution in Enyeama, he can really stand out if Arsenal can recruit him but some advice to Enyeama, you are one great guy, so value yourself and if Wenger plays his usual economics; may Jose 'the great' Mourinho watched and he'd go for Enyeama's signature.
The African World Cup is just a tragedy for the Africans but if Enyeama can get his job in a top club in Europe ( I see him in Arsenal or at the Bernabeu) - so its a great World Cup for enyema who has never made it to that big European stage before so this opens up for him. So Enyeama for Arsenal or Real Madrid. Wow.................
