  Ex-AFCON Winner Blasts Super Eagles, NFF By Niyi Busari Former Super Eagles forward, Felix Owolabi has said that the Super Eagles lack character and discipline adding that the head coach, Gernot Rohr depends only on the individual finesse and expertise of the team's players, BSNSports.com.ng can report. Owolabi who won the 1980 African Cup of Nations with Nigeria, stated that Rohr's inability to figure out the strength and weaknesses of his team was responsible for their recent below expectations performance. "Football is the major thing that keeps everyone in this country together. This is the right time to tell ourselves the truth." Owoblow said. "There are a lot of things that I saw that were very wrong. The team lacks character, no discipline and rely basically on individual finesse and expertise of these individual players and that is because any good coach must be able to look into a team and figure out the strength and challenges of the players of the team. "And I think that is exactly what happened against the Sierra Leoneans. They knew the strength and weakness of the Super Eagles and that was why they capitalised on that because for someone to have been leading 4-1 and at the end of the day, the game came to a 4-4 draw, three quick goals within a speed of time tells volume about the character of the team. The 1992 CAF Cup winner with Shooting Stars of Ibadan added that it is high time all hands are put on deck to check the NFF excesses and let them know that they're not doing the right things, urging the media to play a pivotal role in helping resurrect Nigeria football. "I think now it is the time to check the Nigeria Football Federation. They are over doing things. I think we have over pampered them and now it is the time to let them know that they're not doing the right thing. "And we should tell them and in particular, the media should play that role for Nigeria. Because if we all keep quiet and pretend as if everything is well with Nigeria football believe me sincerely, were not doing Nigerian football a favor." He concluded
