By Fred Edoreh It is understandable that all football fans want their team to win every game and there has been some hue about El Tri, the full fledged, star-studded Mexican senior national team, handing Nigeria a 4-0 defeat in a recent friendly in Los Angeles. However, those who know know that the Nigerian side wasn’t actually the Super Eagles in the true sense. It wasn’t even the CHAN team. It was just an ad-hoc selection of home-based players from the Nigeria Professional Football League. With the conclusion of the European league, most of the senior Super Eagles players were taking time off to rest and recover and, as such, they couldn’t show up for the earlier two-legged friendly with Cameroon in Austria. Coach Gernot Rohr had to invite mostly new, young players for the friendly.
