Nigeria goal keeper, Vincent Enyeama
who made a point blank save immediately after Nigeria’s opener has
sensationally declared he had no clue how he pulled off an incredible point
blank save. “I don’t know how I did it, the Angels of God were behind me and
caused my hands to be in the right place to stop the ball”. Asked if he was
worried going into the last 10 and it was still goalless “not at all, this is
football and I have come to understand that as long as the game is on anything
is still possible so I kept urging the guys to press on. Fortunately we got
there in the end”.
The Nigerian players were obviously
delighted with the win but the Nigerian press contingent and Nigerians all over
the the internet sites and blogs seemed unimpressed with the qualification and
have been very critical of the team’s play. Already, the consensus is that this
present Nigerian side is not good enough to get past the Ivorians who have been
rampant so far in the tournament. It is very hard to figure out who has a more
difficult job between the Nigerian President or Stephen Keshi in terms of
pleasing Nigerians.
