Nigeriaworld Feature Article - Germany 2006: A World Cup without Nigeria? The thorn here is the Angolan national football team, the Palancas Negras, a rare and dying breed of black antelopes, which is making it very rare for Nigeria to claim the sole ticket for its fourth consecutive World Cup appearance. In an age when football has assumed new heights and players have moved the hand of clock in their favor, Nigeria, the NFA and the players continue to revel and luxuriate in the backward stream of inefficiency, tardiness and in a disappointing dose of slothfulness. uper Eagles fans that watched their team devour the Desert Foxes of Algeria by a convincing 5-2 margin in the Algerian city of Oran in the last World Cup qualifier are in shock as to why the same team is in World Cup trouble given the abundance of talents and skills witnessed in that match. nigeriaworld.com/cgi-bin/axs/ax.pl?http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/david-west/100705.html   (1503 words)

Two years later, his judgement has proved most insightful. www.fifa.com /common/printerfriendly.html?articleid=72577   (551 words)

...Public sphere For football administrators, one would say that they should shun any form of politics that would cause distraction in the national team. It has indeed, come to a point where the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) and the Sports Ministry should say what they want so that the national team would not only settle down but also concentrate.
