In focus: Super Eagles Sani Kaita


















Did you all see what this fool guy did in our match with Greece? He more or less cost us this match.

He got a red card for violently kicking out at Vasilas Torosidis in the 33rd minute and it's by far one of the silliest fouls/tackles I've ever seen in my life. Totally uncalled for and such behaviour should not be tolerated.

This is what he did...

With Nigeria up 1-0 after an early goal, Kaita and Torosidis came together in an awkward clash as they both chased down a wayward ball and Torosidis collected it for a throw in. Torosidis made like he was going to shove the ball at Kaita, who almost reflexively kicked out at the Greek defender, grazing his leg with his foot. Well, Torosidis made the most of it and went to the ground with dramatic flair to be sure the referee saw what happened. He did and Kaita was sent off. 

Have a look at the nonsense he did here

Hiss!

  1. People are being too harsh on the guy sha. Yah he kicked out in anger but it hardly connected and the guy maximized it. That referee was just overzealous, a yellow would have sufficed.

    But yeah, kaita will be remembered for a long time. Especially if we leave the world cup after only the group stage.

  8. I think coaches should emphasize anger management during training, especially for those who dont have a lot of international exposure

  9. Linda what he did was terrible.

    But if you paid for every silly outburst and stupid mistake you've ever done in your life, you wouldn't be here.

    And that goes for every single one of us.
