Soccer: Kaita security call

The Nigerian team has asked its government to provide security for midfielder Sani Kaita after his red card during a cup loss to Greece prompted more than 1000 death threats.

Nigeria team spokesman Idah Peterside said Kaita had received the death threats via email from Nigeria since he was sent off for kicking out at Greece's Vassilis Torosidis in the 33rd minute of the 2-1 loss at Bloemfontein.
