Reasons Why Nigeria Super Eagles Fail to Qualify for 2012 African Cup of Nations Final in Gabon

We have realized important reasons why Nigeria Super Eagles fail to qualify for African Cup of Nations final in Gabon.  Imagine a nation with a population of 150 million people incapable of winning a country of less than 20 million? There are underlying factors that may have account for such failure. The super eagle’s technical adviser, Sampson Siasia did his best by testing the players’ faith, patriotism and commitment to the team but all his efforts proved abortive. Then where do we go from here? Why did the team fail to go through the nations cup finals?

 One of the reasons responsible for the team failure is lack of a lasting team work. By lasting team work I mean the tendency at which all players on training together for a long time as a team. However, this would enable them to understand their objectives, tactics and styles involved according to technical set up. Therefore the team should have raised a standard home base team and injected 4 or 5 serious professional players during international matches.

Secondly, the spirit of football has left the nation for a while and there is need for an urgent recovery. I wonder why people said that if the super eagle’s first goal keeper, Vincent Enyeama was at the post, Guinea would not had excelled through. Okay, was it not this keeper that man the post when the same super eagle played away match in Guinea, which the super eagle lost by 1=0?. Also, on that match day in Abuja national stadium, the population of spectators despite free ticket was absolutely poor. I would like to say that the nation is not healthy. Majority citizens of this nation are not happy due to deteriorating economic situation that prevails.

Thirdly, almost all super eagle’s players of that Nigeria-Guinea match are professionals whom their club interests are of paramount. Besides this, most of them are now happy that Nigeria will not partake in the Nations cup finals giving them enough time to be with their international clubs.

Finally, we need players to be trained together for some time to make them blend together and with national happiness the super eagles and its fan shall smile again. Above instances are the strong reasons why Nigeria Super Eagles Fail to Qualify for 2012 African Cup of Nations Final in Gabon
