And guess what, the next world cup should be around 2030, but I can bet that the Nigerian football federation are currently not thinking of what to do before time. Our sporting system, so much believe in a fire brigade approach. They like to make preparations only when it's very close, and for a country that is way behind in terms of footballing participation, we shouldn't be taking same steps like other countries.
The next world cup is no more far and after this forth coming world cup tournament, it begins to count and what you have said about Nigeria football federation is true as they are always nonchalant and are only active last minute to action but however, coach Chelles seems to be preparing ahead and currently achieving his target by putting the house and team together ahead of time. Maybe Chelles knows better to do his work by holding a formidable team for action but the political wing of our sports industry always makes things difficult for them.

I personally think that the Super Eagles have solved the issue of a coach, and now it lies on our officials to throw their weight behind him and support him the best way they can through adequate financing and providing him with whatever else he wants because, from this game, I can see that there's a lot of potential in this team. Even without playing with key players, the Super Eagles are still playing very good football. They scored the first goal in the game, but they could not hold on to the lead. But there's still enough time to play in this game, and it looks very likely that they will be a winner, and that winner could be Nigeria. It will not count in the World Cup, but this sort of performance will always make the Super Eagles hungry to play in the World Cup when it comes next, so they will take qualifications more seriously than they've done before.
