Interesting. I remember ROSSIKE speculating that this may have happened....
Fifa was warned before this year's World Cup of fears Nigeria's team could be vulnerable to match-fixing, BBC Newsnight has learned.
A Uefa investigator in South Africa raised concerns, including over betting patterns.
Nigeria went out of the tournament in the first round, losing to Greece.
In a statement to Newsnight, Fifa did not deny getting a warning but say they have "no indication" of match-fixing in any World Cup matches in South Africa.
Newsnight understands a member of Uefa's Disciplinary Services Unit – which is responsible for investigating match-fixing – first became suspicious during qualifying rounds of the World Cup and it is alleged that certain Nigerian players came forward and said their team was vulnerable to manipulation.
On the morning of Nigeria's first match, he alerted Fifa's new Early Warning System, set up to look for signs of match-rigging, of his concerns.
German journalist Christian Bergmann also had a call just before the first Nigerian game of the tournament from a Uefa contact, who said there were suggestions that "some players from the Nigerian team are actually involved in some form of manipulation".
In their second game of the tournament, Nigeria were strong favourites to beat Greece and took an early 1-0 lead.
But, after just 33 minutes, Nigeria had a man sent off and Greece scored their first-ever World Cup goals to win 2-1.
After their elimination, Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan was so angry with the team's poor performances that he suspended the whole team from international competition. He later reversed that decision following a complaint from Fifa.

Abeg, were is the evidence? This is nonsense. The team I watched was rubbish all by themselves. Poorly coached with no tactical input from the bench. If there was any fixing of games, look squarely to the coach first.

Let them provide Evidence. And does it mean the money involved is bigger than their match bones?

Green4life, FIFA had been approached before tournament started not after so that alone makes it suspiscious. To this day i cant understand Yobos header where he practically passed ball to an opposing player

Only a dumb person will ask that kain question. Typical naija mentality. The Nigerian team in SA was POORLY RUN. We were fcuuked up all by ourselves. Only a naive or blind person cannot see that. But if you have an email where YAK or Martins agreed to collect money to miss a sitters, please share with us.

The source is:-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/n ... 805137.stm
That will explain the following:-
1) Osaze's failure to pass to Martins against Argentina when clear.
2) Obasi's disgraceful open net miss against Greece when the match was still 1-1.
3) Yak's refusal to pass to Martins when clear against Korea
4) Yak's open-net miss which remains impossible for any professional to achieve.
5) Martin's useless chip attempt when clear against Korea when we only needed a goal to advance to the next round.
6) Nsofor's useless shots with minutes/seconds to go againt Korea when he could easily put the ball into the box for a scramble.
7) Obasi's cut-in against Korea followed by a useless shot when Kanu was open and available for a tap-in.
If FIFA wants to study videos, let them study Obasi, OSaze, Yak, Nsofor and Martins.

Too bad I cannot resurrect the thread in which I claimed Rossike is light-years ahead of most of his peers on CE.
The guy is brilliant. But it is kind of hard to be acknowledged especially with so many fools who think they're clever.
Another intelligent guy is Coach. But heck, most CEs do not even understand such magnificent style of writing used by him, talkless of acknowledging him.

LMAO
... are you serious? Evidently you didn't watch Yobo deliver a well placed square pass assist to Wayne Rooney in HIS BOX some years ago while playing for everton. You missed the world class own goal he scored for Sierra Leone in Abuja during Nigeria's 4-1 demolition of fake Maradona's peeps. There are more examples of his lack of focus in dangerous areas of the pitch. Thanks for the joke though.
