NOW THAT WE HAVE HUNGRY PLAYERS

Every time Nigeria fails to do well at major tournaments, the fans are quick to cry out to the administrators to pick a team of players hungry for glory. So it happened that this year their prayers were answered and the theory of hungry players is being put to test in South Africa. Nigerians are quick to formulate and hold on to theories before they are tested. When they are tested though, the result leaves the Nigerian coming to terms with his hastily reached theory. Nigerians for instance thought a man who did not have shoes to play football or rather go to school would make a good leader, they have been wrong and now they are wrong yet again on the hunger theory. Just what is the hunger theory you might ask. It is the theory that: players who have not achieved much will take to the pitch ready to do battle and would die making a name for themselves. It sounds good to the ear. It even looks good to the eye but then it does not stand up to the test of confrontation. Steven K
