INTERVIEW WITH DICKSON ETUHU AFTER SUPER EAGLES 2-2 DRAW WITH S. KOREA

REACTION TO EAGLES OUSTER FROM THE 2010 WORLD CUP
It’s difficult when you have the chance to win the game and you don’t take it. It hurts. All the lads are down, everybody can’t believe it. It’s all over now.

YAKUBU’S FLUFFED GOAL SCORING CHANCE
Yeah, you would put your hands on him scoring that. But, today was not our day; everything that would go wrong went wrong. We missed our chances and it’s over now.

AN EXTRA GOAL WOULD HAVE SEEN NIGERIA THROUGH WITH ARGENTINA’S 2-0 WIN AGAINST GERECE, RIGHT?
Nobody knew the score. We weren’t interested in the score. We just wanted to win the game. And then, let nature takes its course.

THOUGHTS ON YAKUBU DESPITE MISS IN 2-2 DRAW WITH SOUTH KOREA.
He is a top, top striker, great player. I love playing with him. It could happen to anyone. It’s done now. This world cup has a lot of downs because there are a lot of chances that we could have got the points we needed to get. But we just didn’t do enough. It’s just almost, almost, almost. Everything is almost.

DASHED WORLD CUP HOPES
It just was not our world cup. Everything was just this close. But it was not enough. We have to do better......There is a lot of people crying in there. It’s so hard to deal with. Nobody wants to go out. We are a great nation. We have got 150 million people behind us. We’re out of the world cup. It’s finished....

IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR AN AFRICAN TEAM TO MAKE THE NEXT ROUND.
It’s very important. I’m sure an African team will make the next round.... My concern is with Nigeria. My country is everything.

Well, thank you, Dickson Etuhu. Ghana just did
