TENSION IN EAGLES CAMP AS PLAYERS DEMAND 12M EACH

As the super eagles steps out on Monday for their first world cup match against Iran,their fears that the deficit agreement for the appearance fee for the players may dash whatever hope Nigerians have for the national team to do well in Brazil 2014.
The super eagles tabled their grievance to the senate president,David mark when he came visiting them on friday.The players said they will not accept anything less than the $75,000 about N12.2m appearance fee paid to each of their Ghanian counterparts by the Ghana football association.
Also,the Eagles requested that NFF relocate them from their Victoria Concept Hotel in Campinas,which they described as isolated and it makes them look like prisoners unlike other world cup teams whose federation  lodged them in better and more ideal place.
We gathered that the senate president David mark who listened with rapt attention as the players reeled out their grievances thereafter berated the NFF for not promptly settling the issue of appearance fees as was the case with other federations like Ghana football association.
The senate president David mark there after appealed to the coaches and players to put aside anything that would constitute a distraction to them in the world cup and focused on winning the world cup reassuring them of the determination of president Good luck Ebele Jonathan to give them the necessary support in the tournament to make Nigeria proud.
