Re: The most important position in the soccer field is?

It has to be the goalie! If a team has used all their substitutions and the goalie gets a red card, one of the field players gets converted and puts on gloves for the rest of the match!

So, I know he has played couple of friendly games for Italy. But, has he played for them in any competitive games? If not, then he remains eligible for Nigeria.

Re: Rohr needs to find a replacement for Onazi

That young man will cost us dear with the way he gives the ball away. He gifted Algeria that goal with a sloppy pass.

Left footed football players tend to be more talented attackers than the rest partly because they exploit the weaker side of conventional players.

Great choice!

Another duo worthy of mention -- Stoichkov and Balakov (or Kostadinov). Bulgaria had a great run to the semis in the 1994 WC despite a 3-0 loss to Naija in their opening match.
