In a sustained effort to boost their morale and drive the Super Eagles to victory, Guinness Nigeria PLC, makers’ of Nigeria’s number one premium brand, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, has declared an increase in the dollar reward per goal offered to Super Eagles in the group stages from original $2,000 to $5,000 dollars, thus further demonstrating its position as the number one supporter of the Super Eagles and by providing innovative ways for millions of Nigerian fans to show their support for the team at the World Cup in Brazil. This came not too long after, the brewing giant renewed its sponsorship of the national team as the Official Beer sponsor of the Super Eagles for the next 4 years
Austin Ufomba, the Director of Marketing and Innovations at Guinness Nigeria said that the increment was necessary to encourage the players to give more than they normally would. “We are confident in the ability of the Super Eagles despite their performance with the Iranian team and we urge all Nigerians to share in this confidence and this is the reason why we have decided to reassure Nigerians by upping the stakes for the team to also let them know that they have the support of Nigerians at this time” Ufomba stated.

If u need to energize a team that prepared for the world cup on their second match in the tournament with $5,000,what will u energize them with to get to the final? Nothing good will come out of this team. A confused and biased coach with a bunch of un-serious minded players.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, Nigeria is all about money: money, money, money. This is not the way to entice a team! Get a more experienced coach, preferrably from Europe. Stop toying with local coaches when getting ready to play against the most sophisticated soccer countries in the world. Even the USA coach is from Germany. World cup is no place to show patriotism by selecting a local coach. Remember, you are not playing against Togo, Mali, Cameroon, etc. You are facing countries that have played the sport way before us. A local coach won't do it, this I believe!
ReplyDeleteare they playing for money alone,no more passion?
