Summary

The super eagles’ captain, Kanu Nwankwo claimed that the super eagles do not have a place they called their home. He said this after the 1-0 win over the Cranes of Uganda last Saturday. He complains about playing matches in various grounds will not help the super eagles. They should have or be given a particular ground where all the matches would be played as other countries are doing.

View point
Positive: Kanu Uwankwo makes a good complaint. As a captain who wants the best for his country would definitely did the same thing. Unlike when Austin Jay Jay Okocha was the captain, he did make such complaint. The NFA should treat this complaint with full respect and let the Nigeria football come to it peak

Negative: To begin with, take a look at what happen to Nigeria against Angola in the qualification for last year world cup. The match was surpose to take place at the Abuja stadium but the NFA shifted it to Kaduna were there is a high humidity. The players could not play their best and Nigeria lost the match. The defeat presented a way out for the eagles not to participate in the last year world cup. It is a shame for a country like Nigeria not to have a specifics ground for their home game.

Resolution/conclusion

During that game between Nigeria and Uganda, the players really saw hell. Nigeria was lucky to found the net. The pitch was bad. Both teams couldn’t play their best. The player could not hold the ball for long. They lose the ball easily because of the bad pitch. NFA should please sort out this problem out so that the players would have a good atmosphere to play their home game.
