Yeah, but Nigeria suffers from the New York Knicks phenomenon, they think too highly of themselves and lack discipline on the pitch to maximize their talent. They always field a world-class team talent wise, but fail to capitalize. Ethiopia can't necessarily compete roster wise, but we can most definitely bring a determined game, and at this point, hang with anyone in Africa because simply put, we're hungrier and don't feel as entitled. Nigerian players get caught up in attitude problems, expectations of high perks, and fazed by the lights of their own domestic stardom. Just the kind of hubris that can allow for Black Lions to deliver a swift gut-check
