It’s hard to see who on current form could beat them at that particular game.

Cameroon will be looking north over the next four years to find Nigeria’s achilles heel. Unfortunately I’ve been sacked as coach, so I won’t be there to help them through.

Currently desperately digging for some Moldovan afrobeat, as they’ve hired me for the upcoming European qualifiers.

But a big hurrah to all the managers: a feast of world series pop soccerball indeed it was. I assume the downloads will remain available for the foreseeable? There’s still a load of tracks from the knockout stages I’ve yet to download.

Sadly the real thing is not quite as opulent.

I tipped you for the top at the start and was never let down by your awesome team selection. I certainly have had my issue with FIPFA this World Cup, but no-one could begrudge Nigeria this victory and the joy and sportsmanlike nature they bought to the tourney.

A glorious night for Nigerian pop football and, in a tournament dominated by African teams, African pop football in general. The celebrations will go on well into the night and every single person who turned out for their country thoroughly deserves it. Props as well to a German manager who never picked the easy option and saw unpredictability fire him all the way to the final. We’re off to run around spraying champagne into the crowd, see you in 2014.
