Nigeria was all keen to play the winless chaps from England but upon witnessing the Ice Limeys surprise upset of Mick Canuck’s Canadian squad (a 5-4 OT squeaker) he hightailed it for the door citing ‘other commitments.’
“The game was all set up and I wqs all ready to play. But as soon as he saw the passion I was playing with he was scared off,” said English side manager Sir Nicholas Burton. “I was deflated. Disappointed. My passion for the entire tournament has been severely tested.”
“I didn’t want it to be a repeat of the Switzerland disaster,” said the Nigerian coach.
There was no truth that Burton was referring to the surface as ‘frozen wah-ter.”
“The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming!” shouted Nigeria as they hightailed it back to their change room.
I’m thoroughly disappointed that they would duck out of a league game. But kudos for Sir Burton for striking fear into the mighty African nation.
Russia will keep an eye on the English’s progress over the next week for sure.
Not surprised by Nigeria’s actions. It’s not the first time they went running to hide in the bushes of Africa.
