The Shocking Downfall of Nigeria's National Team
In the mid-1990s, Nigeria were the fifth highest ranked national team in the world, and many people expected them to become the first African country to win the FIFA World Cup.

In this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at the extraordinary demise of the Super Eagles, those responsible, and what can be done to turn the fortunes of Africa's biggest country around.

Hull City survived in the Championship on goal difference last season, before being hit with an EFL transfer embargo owing to unpaid debts, and appointing their fourth permanent manager in thirteen months.

So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at Hull City's seeming turnaround has come about, their impressive summer recruitment, and whether the UEFA Champions League coming to the MKM Stadium is now inevitable.
