Okocha's view on his team's failure
Nigeria captain Jay-Jay Okocha has said everyone involved with the national team must take responsibility for the country's failure to qualify for the next year's World Cup in Germany.

Angola pipped Nigeria to the ticket after beating Rwanda 1-0 in Kigali.
The Bolton Wanderers midfielder had declared he would quit international football after the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany.
Okocha first announced his retirement from international football after Nigeria failed to go beyond the first round of the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan but he was persuaded to return to the team.
