Nigeria play the Red Devils of Congo in Point Noire on Saturday in a match they MUST win if they are ever going to smell the shores of whoever hosts the
tournament next year which could likely be Equitorial Guiinea as French media, L'Equipe reports that an agreement has been reached with CAF to stage the AFCON 2015 once again in two years
The consequences of a loss or a draw cannot be overstated as it would mean that things will be reset in the nation’s football with the coach leaving his position. Some players losing their spot and the country yet again missing another AFCON tournament, twice in a space of four years after its ouster in the qualification to series to Equatorial Guinea 2012
Coincidentally, Equatorial Guinea may become the host of the 2015 edition and if Nigeria fails to qualify, it would be a case of dejavu
For the Super Eagles, it is a race against history repeating itself in a very negative light
More burdensome it would be for the coach who has been giving more than enough lifeline to redeem himself and prove his critics wrong.
