after beating Ethiopia as the
continent's representatives begin to
claim their places in Brazil
As Calabar danced to the whispered
samba rhythms of the Copacabana, it was
clear that 2013 would be a year that few
of us would forget in a hurry. The fact
that Nigeria , as Africa's Champions, were
the first of the continent's contingent to
secure their spot in Brazil was lost on no
one.
Rarely in recent memory have the Super
Eagles flown so high above and beyond
their nearest rivals.
For several hours, they stood alone as
Africa's pioneers. Then, as evening fell,
the the Ivorians hauled themselves up
alongside.
They weren't quite as proud; relieved,
rather than majestic. Gervinho, in
particular, was a wreck, shivering away,
sprouling all kinds of nonsense, babbling
fearfully at having escaped another
potentially career-threatening nervous
breakdown.
At daybreak, then, there were two African
nations crossing the Atlantic.
