CONGRATS TO THE SILVER MEDALISTS!
Congrats to Nigeria for a job well done. The red card made the result worse than it should have been, but losing in the final to the host team is nothing to be ashamed of. We will do better next time.

Re: ONGRATS TO THE SILVER MEDALISTS!
With the little time they had to prepare, to pick up the silver medal, we over achieved.
+'s Ezenwa got more international experience. About 2 new players to add to the watch list (Faleye & Eze) .. On the whole, looking at the big picture we did ok.

Congrats to them. We should learn to support our teams in good and bad times. By reaching the finals alone proves that we’re at least 1 to 3 best teams in the country

This one excuse I have never understood. Did we find out about the tournament the week before it started?

Team was a joke, there were more Mohammeds, Ali's, Ibrahims' than what a balanced national team could suggest, lack of federal character has seeped its ugly traits into our national team...
Re: ONGRATS TO THE SILVER MEDALISTS!
Adding to the watch list is not good enough. Making plans to develop the two should be the ideal as opposed to waiting for them to show up in a good European club. It is shameful that after the WAFU nothing was done in this light.Mr Shows wrote:With the little time they had to prepare, to pick up the silver medal, we over achieved.

Anybody notice that Pinnick was nowhere to be seen with other CAF officials when the match ended.

Re: CONGRATS TO THE SILVER MEDALISTS!
Congratulations to the team. They did far more than expected and particularly after a really poor opening game. 
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Never knew so much frustration can be contained in someone so short....it must really be compressed, like some strong springs and $#% like that.

Re: CONGRATS TO THE SILVER MEDALISTS!
Was anyone expecting a Nigeria win? Morocco has a better league than Nigeria
Their league is well organised and football infrastructure is 100%
Better than it is in Nigeria.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED...
...congratulations are in order. People should pause to consider the fact that, at best, this is Nigeria's Team C. However, I agree with those who blame the FF for acting as though this event was something that was suddenly inserted into their calendar, resulting in poor preparation.
Now, moving fwd, what should be done? In all honesty, this trophy has little value with me and the preparation should receive resources commensurate this perception. My main suggestion is that Nigeria should apply an age limit to this tournament beyond the playing location requirement by CAF. Henceforth, Nigeria should field a team of players no older than, say, 22. That way the squad would be used to as a feeder for the main national teams. (Of course, I know all about age falsification but dealing with that should be the subject of another thread.)
