Luckily, most of the Nigerian players are still very young... so, they'll still be around for years to come... 
they've got a very talented and strong team right now... hope they can develop the team mentality, tactical pragmatism and hard-working spirit for the next WC!
Nigeria is one of my favorite NT's... I was so sad that they didn't qualified, but then again, i would have to see them play against Portugal (which is my other favorite NT), if they did qualify; they'd be drawn in the same group... and that would be a bit harsh for me, to see them "fighting" against each other... though it may happen sooner or later... (:/)

the one problem with African teams is that they can't concentrate. Ghana had a lot of luck, the early goal. they played a very poor czech backline (well compare to toher teams) and faced a less threating czech offence considering the very ineffective czech forwards (no baros nor koller) and the only threats came from the midfield. The czechs were also somewhat depleted. The czechs also didn't cover any of the strikers, they left too much space aswell and got caught on the counter attack. However Cech played well. The Ghanian strikers have very little composure in front of goal and are to anxious to take shots (the reason why the guy got the yellow card for the penalty, taking it too early due to anxiety and lack of composure, also he missed due to lack of composure). I like Muntari, he was great and he should have been man of the match. I honestly can't see Ghana playing like this against the USA. It's unfortunate to see the best 2 african teams in both of the groups of death, but if you can make it out of these groups the great the achievement.

Africa quilifying system is Fvcked up no doubt about it.
The best countries are constantly suffering abstenteeism of their top stars due to awkward qualifying schedules, top European clubs do not want to realease or loose any of their players during the season, so teams like Nigeria and Cameroon often have to subsidise with less talented local or willing players during the qualifiers.
