There are strong indications that the Nigeria’s Super
Eagles may not have the sole ticket to the next World Cup
in South Africa on a platter of gold.
There had been serious fear over Tunisia’s inclusion
in Group B. Judging from the last weekend result in faraway
Nairobi, the North Africans proved they have the capability
to throw spanner in Eagles’ quest to pick their fourth
World Cup ticket.
The Carthage Eagles 2-1 victory over Kenya has re-enforced
the fear expressed by most Nigerian soccer fans that Tunisia
might turn out to be Nigeria’s big threat. The outcome
of the first group matches should serve as an eye opener to
the Eagles in subsequent games.
It is obvious that Nigeria and Tunisia may be heading to the
wire except the Super Eagles score more goals in their home
matches and also they do not concede too many goals in away
matches.
