They came from nowhere (worked hard for it though and deserved to win on the night) to humiliate Nigeria with two un-replied goals and no sign that even if the game had gone on for a week Nigeria would have scored a single goal!<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydped41e438yiv4331151355ydpef489786MsoNormal\">It was a monumental humiliation for Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydped41e438yiv4331151355ydpef489786MsoNormal\">Before the full import of what had happened sunk in and drowned the players in shock and self-pity, the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, swung into action to halt a potential meltdown of the team and avert another disaster of the <b><i>Super Eagles\u00a0<\/i><\/b>exiting the championship at this stage.\u00a0 Along with the governor of Abia State and a few other Nigerians, Amaju went to the dressing room of the Eagles immediately after the match and met the stupefied players, some in tears, shattered and unable to accept what had befallen them. It seemed like a nightmarish dream.\u00a0\u00a0Amaju told them the story of a circumstance, not quite the same though, but close to it, that happened the last time the Eagles won the trophy in 2013; how the team also had to pass through the crucible of near-failure against Ethiopia in the Group Stage match.\u00a0 The Eagles were 10 minutes away from a humiliating defeat before the fighting spirit of Naija, the never-say-die-attitude of Nigerian players, rose in time to straighten things up.\u00a0 In the last 10 minutes, the Eagles recovered from their slumber, scored two quick goals, and went on to win not just the match, but the championship.\u00a0 He told them to take lessons from that story, to forget this match quickly, and to be ready to confront the new challenge of making any further progress by taking the harder route of meeting the bigger teams en-route winning AFCON 2019.\u00a0\u00a0Amaju\u2019s inspirational talk may have stirred something in the players because they found the strength to applaud when he was done.\u00a0 That was all last night.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if the team and their coach had their own talk afterwards, but I would be surprised if they did not. However, the players retired subdued and still lost in disbelief, their tails tucked between their legs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydped41e438yiv4331151355ydpef489786MsoNormal\">The\u00a0<b><i>fly on the wall\u00a0<\/i><\/b>is watching very closely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydped41e438yiv4331151355ydpef489786MsoNormal\">This morning, the lounge of the Helnan Palestine Hotel is deserted with an unfamiliar gloom everywhere.\u00a0\u00a0It is clear something happened during the night.\u00a0\u00a0Yesterday\u2019s defeat inflicted deep wounds.\u00a0\u00a0George Hassan, former\u00a0<b><i>Green Eagles\u00a0<\/i><\/b>midfield player in the 1970s would say,\u00a0<b><i>\u2018dem don put Robb inside dem yansh\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/b>There seems to be an angry, steely determination sculptured on the players&#8217; faces.\u00a0 They must have told each other the gospel truth &#8211; that they under-estimated the enormity of the match; that they did not think about the possibility and consequence of losing to a team a hundred places in ranking below them; that they took things for granted and disrespected the\u00a0<b><i>Barea\u00a0<\/i><\/b>of Madagascar; that to get back on track they would now have to walk the long hard route of facing the strongest teams in the following rounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydped41e438yiv4331151355ydpef489786MsoNormal\">At 9 0\u2019Clock the players were on the training ground, a facility owned by the Academy of Science Technology and Maritime Transport, a magnificent complex with a lush green turf better than whatever is available in any football Club in the whole of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mathematical7.com\/m7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Super_Eagles_Vs_Madagascar_Day_After.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1568\" src=\"https:\/\/mathematical7.com\/m7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Super_Eagles_Vs_Madagascar_Day_After-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mathematical7.com\/m7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Super_Eagles_Vs_Madagascar_Day_After-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mathematical7.com\/m7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Super_Eagles_Vs_Madagascar_Day_After-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mathematical7.com\/m7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Super_Eagles_Vs_Madagascar_Day_After-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mathematical7.com\/m7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Super_Eagles_Vs_Madagascar_Day_After.jpg 1032w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydped41e438yiv4331151355ydpef489786MsoNormal\">Pictures do not lie.\u00a0\u00a0The above picture is a scene taken only this morning as the team resumes training.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydped41e438yiv4331151355ydpef489786MsoNormal\">Don\u2019t forget to visit the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mathemtical7.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">www.mathematical7.com <\/a>\u00a0 It is getting busier and more interesting by the day.\u00a0 The latest posting is an interview from 26 years ago that would interest all young boys and girls nursing the ambition of playing professional football in Europe at an early age.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydped41e438yiv4331151355ydpef489786MsoNormal\">When is the best time to head to `Europe?\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/mathematical7.com\/m7\/?aiovg_videos=interview-with-wilson-oruma-charles\">Wilson Oruma and Charles Anosike<\/a>, provide the answer.\u00a0\u00a0Following their Under-17 success in 1993, they headed out to Europe where I caught up with them.
