Nigeria risk wrath of Fifa

After the woeful performance of the Super Eagles in the World Cup, President Goodluck Jonathan has suspended the national team from international competition for two years.   This decision is not likely to go down too well with Fifa who have already warned France about political interference in football.

After the woeful performance of the Super Eagles in the World Cup, President Goodluck Jonathan has suspended the national team from international competition for two years.   This decision is not likely to go down too well with Fifa who have already warned France about political interference in football.


The decision seems to have received a mixed reception in Nigeria.   Allegations have been made of corruption and misappropriation of funds and there is a feeling that something needs to be done to sort things out.  However, this drastic action may lead to new problems.
