Re: Nigeria to honour Late Muda Lawal
He died from an asthma attack. Muda had asthma. He was a class act. When I was at GCI, himself, Goke Adelabu and Moses Otolorin all helped coach us for free on their own time on three separate occasions. I will never forget that.

Re: Rangers/Shooting/NFA conspiracy against Bendel Insurance?
I still say there was a conspiracy. Giving Kadhiri and Adiele an opportunity is an insult. ANC after the opening game and Muda in the knock out stages. While we accomodated Owolabi and Adokiye in an unorthodo dual left wing approach. Ogboe, Agbonifo should have had a shot. Martins Eyo could not clea...

Re: Interview with Raymond King - ex Sooting goalie
The lords, I played Afro in 1982 as well when I captained GCI. I played with Segun Adeyemi (3Sc), Chris and Peter Aghuno, Dele Fashanu, Alan Ball, Ajike and Abideen. Afro thashed us 3-0 in a friendly and we were out to see revenge but lost 1-0 via that controversial darkness goal. I did not play in ...

Re: OK Mikel is out, what next? FORMATIONS
I prefer Ayo's 4-3-3 in a 4-2-1-2-1: Two wide backs, two central defenders and two holdong midfielders. Two wide forwards and one target man, with Lukman as the counter distributor and backed up by Kalu. ***********************************************************Ideye/Yak****************************...

Re: Ideye Brown replaces Mikel
He is NOT right footed. he is naturally a wide forward. We all know that the Eagles will use a 4-2-3-1 formation. A back four with a sweeper, two holding midfielders as cover, two wide attacking midfielders and an attacking midfielder before the target man. Some may call it an advanced hybrid of the...

I took the liberty of re-watching all Naija vs Argentina matches again. If anyone reads this, please pass this on to the coaching crew. EVERY goal scored by Argentina at U-20, Olympic and World Cup level with the eception of Di Maria's in 2008 was not scored in open play. They were ALL for a set pie...

Experience, does it count?
We mostly agree that even if the tired legs of Agali, Babangida, Oliseh, Finidi and Oruma had gone to Korea, we would have done better than the youthful Ogbeche, Opabunmi and co. That being said, Afolabi, Yobo, Enyeama, kanu, Ejide, Utaka and Osaze were either part of the 23 or alternates for that t...

Re: The myth of Nigeria having no midfield
Well all good points. The key is fast one touch passes and movement that ultimately create mismatches and goal scoring opportunities. Only two of these two pairs can play at a time and even with that, they must have some wide players to spread the wealth. kaita, Ayila, Etuhu and Mikel. Any more than...

Re: Nigeria Final Squad: Pls. lets look @ d players individually
This is like 1994 all over. We needed a spark in central midfield and we put on the second half sub, JJ Okocha. We recalled a defender that had tons of steel and experience, Nwanu then, Robo cop now. Both took the captains place, Keshi then, Yobo today. A goalie became the captain, Rufai then and En...

How do you know Lagbaja's style is not cutting edge? He may be hjust as good as my paddies who learned to fly a B 737 practicing on Microsoft Flight Simulator. Maybe Lagbaja is a pioneer or genius? Who knows. We will make this determination in two months.
