Re: Justice Christopher dead
Consider this. At the 2002 World Cup, Justice Christopher was only 20 years old. And he would only ever play 28 more club games in Europe, in the likes of the Bulgarian league. Sunday Oliseh was still probably 28 or 29 - he was officially 25 - and had three more seasons at Borussia Dortmund having p...

Re: Justice Christopher dead
I regret his death, but let’s be honest here. He wore the Number 15 because at the time that was Sunday Oliseh’s number as the defensive midfielder. It was a catastrophic time in Nigerian football. The team was incredibly strong, but at the Nations Cup a rusty team had lost narrowly in extra time to...

Re: Westerhoff Celebrates 81st Birthday
He has done very well to reach this age with his medical condition.
He did well too to build his defence round Chidi Nwanu once it became clear that Keshi was finished.

Re: Breaking News.... Ugo Ehiogu RIP
Could/should have been in the 1998 and 2002 Nigeria World Cup squads. Probably regretted picking England, I suspect.
RIP. A lovely man.

Re: Who should be recalled 4 Echiejile, Is it Balogun, Taiwo
Keshi of all people should remember 1994. The first-choice left-back Ben Iroha was injured, and both the Italy goals which knocked out Nigeria came from his replacement Michael Emenalo's flank. Emenalo just wasn't good enough. In terms of alternative left-backs, the only two at a high enough level a...

Re: Onuoha now wants to play for Nigeria
Let's be precise about the allegations of when Nedum was approached to play for Nigeria. It was in 2009, along with Patrick Owomoyela and Dennis Aogo. And it is alleged that all three were told that they would be guaranteed World Cup places if Nigeria qualified, conditional upon each of them deposit...

Re: A big disgrace for Nigeria
Now this matter is getting out of hand. Keshi himself has to come out and either forcefully deny his players are involved in any misdeeds or investigate the matter and then make an example of whomever is found to be of questionable character on the team. Why should the Big Boss do that?...............

Read the article. The Fake Sheikh has audio and video recordings of the fixer stating that he has several Nigerian players on his payroll for this World Cup. And then he brings Onazi into the room. He's there, there's pictures of him there. It's not suggested that Onazi is one of the corrupted playe...

How dare this shameless scoundrel carry on with this drivel? I am no fan of Amodu, but Nigeria had an extremely strong squad at the 2002 African Nations Cup. They won their group (ahead of Mali, Liberia and Algeria), then eliminated Ghana and then lost to "that" Senegal team after extra ti...

Re: Series: Africa at the WC. This week: WC82, Algeria v Chi
It was a terrific Algerian team, and they qualified by winning a play-off against Nigeria by winning 2-0 away and then 2-1 at home. Rabah Madjer was a brilliant winger who single-handedly won the 1987 European Cup (Champions League) final for FC Porto against Bayern Munich, in which he outshone the ...

Re: Brazil and Spain will likely meet in the finals this sum
I'm not convinced that either Spain or Germany will get out of their groups. Spain has been an excellent team, but three key players (Xavi, Puyol and David Villa) are past their best and have not been replaced and ultimately this is the same team that has been together since the 2006 World Cup - eve...
