Chile 4- Nigeria 0,What lesson?

The quarter-final match between Nigeria and Chile has just ended with the later going through to the semi-finals.It is on record that Nigeria has never won against any south American team in this tournament.Enough of the theory of history always repeat itself, is it not time we look into this matter of the south American?
Though, i've not hidden my lack of confidence in this present under-20 side.I've always condemn their lack of creativity up front, the poor communication between the two front men of Ideye and Bala Ezekiel. I will still repeat that hardly did i see any exchange of passes between these two throughout the duration of the teams' campaign. Likewise,the defence has always lost concentration on various occassions in the past and i had predicted earlier that the day the team will fall,they will fall heavily.And now my prediction has come to pass.
It is always sad to see ones team loosing, while the match was still on, i was still hoping that luck may smile on us despite our inability to create any anxious moment in their goal mouth.
It over, Ladan Bosso's team has been eliminated by another south American team. The big question is how do we fashion out a way of playing south American teams and getting the desired results in the future?
