Throughout Lagos there are groups of people huddled around radios and televisions for the 2010 FIFA World Cup matches. Every so often there is a cheer from a street corner, or a heated debate between shop keepers. However, the attitude of Nigerians towards the World Cup has been reserved. The squad that was selected to represent Nigeria in South Africa was a hotly contested issue among football supporters, and the poor preparation in the run up to the tournament cast a shadow over the teams performance.(Credit: Adolphus Opara/Twenty Ten/Africa Media Online)
