Back story: Nigeria is to a great extent a football-loving nation. And to the nation’s credit, her football teams have won many international laurels. But one particular football honour that has narrowly eluded the country is at the under-20 World Cup, where the national team has played and lost in two Cup Finals. Yet again, the current Flying Eagles, the nation’s under-20 team, have qualified for the World Cup. And this current national team has shown that it’s capable of winning the elusive trophy. But to the shock of its teeming fans, the team loses a number of tune-up matches in a row. Quite unfortunately, the nation’s hopes of winning the World Cup are starting to fade away.
