Nigeria is one of those teams that not only thought they’d be in with a chance of making it to the World Cup finals. They were confident they would be. When they took on Ghana back in March of this year, the vast majority of the match betting online at bwin and other bookmaker sites pointed to a win for Nigeria, and then it would have been a case of preparing for Qatar. However, disaster struck when the Super Eagles lost the two-leg fixture with Ghana because of the away goals rule.
While all the talk of late has been about the nations, players and coaches who made it to the World Cup and how they’ve fared at football’s showpiece tournament. There are some countries that, for one reason or another, have been hit hard after they failed to qualify for the finals, one being Nigeria.
Believe it or not, there are currently over ten thousand Nigerians living in Qatar, who are the World Cup hosts, which immediately made this an event, and a spectacle, that a lot of people wanted to see the Super Eagles involved at. A local businessman who has lived in the country for over a decade placed an order for twenty thousand official Nigeria strips, which has since had to be cancelled, hitting the entrepreneur hard in the pocket as a result.
