Concerns have been raised about the ability of the national Under-23 soccer team to scale the challenges that the team faces after a string of uninspiring results. The Olympic team has hardly looked like World, or for that matter African beaters since Jones Attuquayefio assembled them. For starters, the team made a heavy weather of qualification for the second round of the All Africa Games qualifier. They threw away a 2-0 first leg lead against Ivory Coast before surviving a nervy penalty shoot out. Then the team lost 2-0 against Burkina Faso in the first leg of their most important assignment, the Olympic Games qualifiers, only to receive a reprieve from FIFA who upheld a protest against the Burkinabe’s for fielding unqualified players. On Sunday, again the Meteors failed to get off the starting blocks, drawing goalless against Nigeria. Elimination from the All Africa championship seems a present danger with the second leg due in Nigeria. However, the Chairman of the Black Meteors management team Randy Abbey is confident the team will rise to the challenge and pick the only slot in West Africa for the All Africa Games.
