Funnily enough, Ebi is looking pretty damn git, much different to the guy who wandered into Adelaide last year. I guess the spur of the Olympics will do that to you.

He and Ibekwe both started, it's 11-10 to the USA after five. Will be interesting to see how long they can hang for, losing Al Farouq Amino hurts them a bit.

Only until their bench came in, it turns out, they're now down 13 early in the second!

Finally in good shape huh? Maybe he respects the Nigerian coach as a coach and not a buddy. Smh still at that signing. USA taking care of business now as per usual. They won't be beaten and I actually like the attitudes etc of this team, engaging good for the game and kids looking up to them.

All 12 of Nigerian players are US citizens and only one of them was actually born in Nigeria.

They gotta love having all that talent playing for them, but it doesn't do much for their own talent development.
