WORLD CUP: Former Eagles Star Adokiye Amiesimaka Predicts Downfall For Nigeria Ahead Of France Encounter

For the first time in World Cup history, two African nations have progressed to the round of 16 from the group stages. Ghana, Cameroon and the Ivory Coast were the unfortunate trio that fell at the first hurdle.

Nigeria will meet France in Brasilia in their round of 16 clash as they look to make it into the last eight of the World Cup for the very first time. Preparations by the Nigeria squad for the game against France could not have gone any worse as the team failed to train on Thursday.

A row over appearance bonuses put paid to that with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) promptly dispatching General Secretary, Musa Amadu back to Nigeria to “get more money.”

Nigeria Not Ready For World Cup Says Adokiye Amiesimaka

Former Nigeria international Adokiye Amiesimaka has affirmed that the Super Eagles are not geared up for the World Cup.

In an interview with Goal, the 1980 Africa Cup of Nations winner who is now a lawyer, said the Nigeria Football Federation's eggheads are abandoning pressing issues for irrelevant ones which is a pointer that the country will only be going to make up the numbers in South America.

 “I have said it over and over again that we are not ready for the 2014 World Cup. Everyone is talking about the provisional list, no one seems to be asking, 'what of the technical crew?',” Amiesimaka said
