Having left out notable striker Kunle Banjo, it seems Nigeria will once again stay true to a defensive structure largely responsible for garnering the G. Eagles its first Diaspora World Cup title in 2011.
At the beginning of the their first game against Armenia, Nigeria team of president Femi Alabi and head coach Donald Igwebuike has a disastrous start. They looked tired, unprepared with no strategy to win the game. Nigeria’s defensive chemistry, however, improved rapidly during the second half, laying the platform for their World Cup triumph one year ago. But, as we know, a football game is 90 min long, not two hours. Armenia ends up winning 4-1. Nigeria next game is on Saturday May the 12th against Morocco at the Heurich Stadium in Hyattsville, MD. Stay Tuned as Nigeria always start slow.
