Iroha: Super Eagles’ World Cup Qualification Fate No Longer In Their Hands

 

Ben Iroha, a former Super Eagles left-back, has lamented that Nigeria now faces an uphill battle to qualify for the FIFA World Cup following Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Bafana Bafana of South Africa in Bloemfontein

Iroha, speaking exclusively to Completesports.com from his Texas base, expressed concern that the result may have left Nigeria’s qualification chances outside their control.

Iroha Disappointed With  South Africa Draw

“That (1-1 draw) wasn’t the best result that the average Nigerian had expected from the match against South Africa,” Iroha said in a pensive tone.

“We all expected a win to stand a better chance of qualifying either as group leaders if FIFA eventually deducts three points and three goals from South Africa, or at worst, one of the four ‘best losers’ at the end of the qualifiers.

“But as it stands now, I don’t even know how we can still make it with just two games to go.”
