Don't Expect Miracles From Nigeria U23; Sam Sodje Warns

Former Nigeria international, Sam Sodje, has said he was disappointed in Nigeria's sports administrators for the poor treatment given to the Nigeria U23 national team.

The Samson Siasia-led team, which has been camping in in Atlanta will be opening their campaign

against Japan early Friday morning and they are yet to get to Brazil as at Tuesday when the women football event will kick off.

The Portsmouth defender said the 'Dream Team' as they are popularly referred to, which has been poorly motivated will have a tough time out in Brazil, and their chances of winning a silverware is very slim.

"I am surprised that a team who will play their opening game of the Olympics on Friday are still in USA," he said.

"This team have not been well treated by authorities and Nigerians should not expect miracle from the team that doesn't have the best of preparation and no motivation.

"The FA keep saying no money, they owe coaches and no allowances for the players. The NFF have no clue, claiming no money to cater for players and coaches, but have money to host FIFA president while pretending everything is good." Africanfootball
