If we had won the match, it would have been one of the seven wonders of the world. But if we were to be disgraced, should it have been at the hands of Croatia?
There was no doubt about the fact that each of our players was personally good. But why couldn’t they collectively be good team players?
The statistics of the two nations really show the Croatians as the underdogs. Croatia has a land area of 54,594 sq km with a population of 4.2 million. Nigeria on its own has a land area of 937,767 sq km and a population of 185,989,640 as at 2o16.
You’ll bear with me that Croatia can be safely tucked into one of Nigeria’s several large cities. Yet we couldn’t defeat the country. Yet we have found it a Herculean task to pick eleven men that will beat the Croatians In a game of soccer.
As far as I’m concerned,.tbe present team are eagles but there is nothing superb about them. So, if they.are not already on their way home they should immediately start preparing for home.
