Nations Cup Wahala - Here we go again

It's that time of the year when the streets empty in various parts of Africa and people congregate to watch the round leather game.

As our own Super Eagles file out to face the Ivoriens this evening, one question is paramount on the minds of the Nigerian populace; "Can the boys bring home anything?"
Opinions are divided concerning this. Some people are fanatical about the Eagles, and believe that they are quite capable of winning the competition.
Others are quite pessimistic, believing that the boys are up to no good.
The last category of people couldn't care less. They go about their business as if the competition is being held in Europe and they have nothing to do with it.

The Eagles have been quite consistent in the competition. In fact, a bit too consistent for my liking. They've been so consistent that they brought home bronze medals three times in the last three editions!
This does not mean that they're not appreciated, but getting to the finals would be a nice thing, and getting gold would be even better. We have done it before, and we can do it again.

I don't want to delve into all the problems of Nigerian football and why the Eagles might not win. That's just depressing stuff. For now, all I want to do is hope, and pray for them.

So, enough of blogging, I'm off to get myself a nice spot to watch the match with the guys.
Hopefully, our fans will soon be shouting; Gooooaall!!
