Later in the day, the Nigerian senior male football team The Super Eagles tutored by the big boss himself Stephen Okechuckwu Keshi will lock horns with the boys from Tahiti to start their Confederation's cup participation taking place in Brazil.
Am sure many Nigerians will be following the super eagles in this competition usually dubbed the world cup rehearsals as it features champions of each continent. This caution won't stem from fear of other teams but from the internal rancour trailing their road to Brazil. Asides from the fact that the team will be missing African Nations Cup heroes: Victor Moses, Emenike, Onazi among others; the team has been involved in a hot feud with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) over match bonuses which almost led to a boycott of the tournament!
With all that being settled, we sure hope they give us the spark the tournament has been coloured with so far with the likes of Brazilian Neymar having a Hollywood like performance and the enigmatic Balotelli drama a delight for crowd together with the Spanish team giving a sensational treat, we sure hope the super eagles keep their record of never haven lost a Confederation cup match as they make their long awaited 2nd entry. Up Eagles!
