As the world awaits Super Eagles
cracker against Argentina tonight, angry and furious Nigeria coach Stephen
Keshi, has lashed out at the country’s fans, saying it is a shame they have
abused his person for the team’s showing at Brazil 2014.
The Super Eagles and coach Keshi
came under heavy fire from angry fans after they could only manage a 0-0 draw
with Iran in their opening group game at the World Cup in Brazil.
But Keshi, SHOWBIZPLUSng gathered
had taken serious exception to the fans’ rage, saying there was no
justification for them to insult his person.
“I am disappointed, totally
disappointed (by the personal attacks), but it’s their thing, no wahala (no
problem),” blasted Keshi in Brazil.
“It’s a shame, just a shame that we
keep doing the same thing and then they come back and they say they are sorry.
Sorry for abusing my mum? Sorry for abusing my siblings? For what? That I am
representing Nigeria?”
Keshi has already fired a salvo at
his fellow former football stars who tore at his team and tactics in Brazil.
He said he had expected much better
from them as they ought to know better about the game than the man on the
street.
Nigeria take on Argentina on Wednesday
in Porto Alegre and if they avoided defeat, they will qualify for the knockout
rounds of the World Cup for only the third time in their history.
Nigeria’s qualification for next
round within reach – Glo??
The major sponsor of the Nigerian
national teams, Globacom, has congratulated the Super Eagles for recording an
important win against Bosnia and Herzegovina in their second Group F match of
the on –going 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Globacom in a press statement
released in Lagos immediately after the match hailed the Super Eagles for the
victory which not only gave them three points but also brightened their chance
of qualifying for the second round. It was Nigeria’s first victory in the World
Cup in 16 years.
“The Super Eagles gave a good
account of themselves against Bosnia and Herzegovina. We urge them to sustain
the momentum when they take on Argentina so as to seal their chance of
qualifying for the next round which is now within reach,” Globacom said.
“The match was tough and the weather
was harsh. We commend the Super Eagles for their hard work and determination
which earned them the victory,” the statement added.
Globacom observed that the victory
had confirmed the company’s belief that the team would excel even when so many
people seemed to have lost hope in the Super Eagles after they drew with Iran
in the first match.
“We wish to advise the team to
remain focused for the task ahead while we enjoin the Nigeria Football
Federation and the entire nation not to waver in supporting and praying for the
Eagles,” the statement further said.

four points from two matches will lock horns with Argentina while Iran will
also trade tackle with Bosnia and Herzegovina on 25th June in the last group F
matches to determine the two teams that will qualify for the second round.
