Hurray, Nigeria is crowned king of African Football; at
last. We have waited 2 long 4 dis day and finally we can heave a sigh of
relief.
The final Match against the Burkina Faso team was
interesting even though I expected them
to be mauled by Nigeria but what the heck; like we say in Naija – at all at all
naim bad pass.
My personal pick for the player of this tournament from the
Nigerian perspective is by far, Victor Moses – He was like the only thing in
our team that was very close to being a playmaker, his dedication was out of
this world, his skills sublime and he was quick and very aggressive.
Although he fluffed the chance to put us 2 goals ahead but
he is still my man.
Sunday Mba I would like to call my revelation of this
tourney; just when u were not xpecting anything… bam and he scores a goal. Both
his goals were arguably the most important goals 4 the Super Eagles. Congrats
Sunday who is always scoring on Sundays…
Another guy that really impressed me was Emenike; he was
sourly missed in the final match, had he been there I am sure he would have
scored.
Let me say here that I would not blame Ike Uche for having a
below par performance, I am sure it was cos he was always coming from the
bench and from his game u cud see that the confidence left him. He is still one
player I have great respect for and I am waiting for him to pick his explosive
form again.
Vincent “Consistency” Enyeama; this guy is just 2 much,
always putting us in the game when it matters; consider the save he put up when
we were leading. Had that ball gone in; the entire game wud have been turned on
its head, that I can tell u.
Omeruo – Our lanky reliable, ever so present in the heart of
that defence. Thank u joo.
I can go on and on but all I am trying 2 say is that the
super Eagles were just 2 much.
I want to thank Keshi for having the “liver” to drop some of
our unruly players especially Osaze; pls lets give him space to be fighting
with everybody in his club (westbrom) but his antics should be very far from our team.
Even though this tourney brought a whole lot of joy to us, I
still have some major low points (fallouts) from it and I will share all of
that with you guys in a short while but 4 now, I think we shud relive the
beautiful moments of the final match…
