Sani Kaita is the player who viciously kicked Vassillis Torosidis on the touchline in the 33rd minute and was sent off by the referee, reducing Nigeria to ten men. The Super Eagles leading Greece at that time went onto concede the match, 2-1, virtually eliminating them from the World Cup.
Kaita has been inundated by death threats from home with more than 1000 emails received promising him bodily harm. Everyone remembers Andreas Escobar of Colombia. His own goal of a John Harkes cross spelled doom for Colombia in the 1994 World Cup and himself as he was gunned down on returning to his country. Harkes is an ESPN commentator for the World Cup nowadays.

It is true that Sani kaita messed up but he is not the enire reason why the super chickens failed.They are bunch of flops,incompetent players who are no match to their world conterparts.This reason was justified by their match with S/korea where they dispayed gross mismatch and stupidity that a goal a one legged old man would score at convinience was missed by a player who parade himself as a super eagles striker,what a shame.Nigeria should leave Sani Kaita alone and think of a way of redeeming her image which has been dragged on excreta by these collection of fools.I recomend;they should not only be flushed out of the football system,but should be sued and made to pay for the damages done to the nigerian football image.
