NIGERIAN VS URUGUAY FIFA CONFEDRATION CUP MATCH HIGHLIGHTS

The recent loss by the Super Eagles of Nigeria to Uruguay in the FIFA confederation cup just revealed how immature and unprofessional our boys can be sometimes. It appears that they are hardwired to press the self destruct button whenever you expect a lot from them. They should have beaten Uruguay if only they had not made some school boy mistakes during the game. The two central defenders seem to be unable to handle zonal marking very well as they were ball watching when the Uruguayan captain slipped in to score the first goal.  We needed to push the ball quicker and be sharper  in attack to be successful  in that game but we did not do that. Our boys showed no pace in their passes, coupled with the fact that we were not shooting at the target during the entire duration of the match.There were too many unnecessary passes in the final third of the pitch thus making our attack to be predictable all the time. Perhaps the game would have been different with Moses, Emenike and Onazi in the line up. We are not beating Spain so lets just look forward to qualifying for the world cup.
