Go and look at all the silly goals we have conceeded with foreign-based defenders like Uche Okechukwu and Taribo West with Oliseh playing in front of them. Go watch WC 1998 and ANC 2000 and see some of the silly goals we were giving away. I detest people talking when they fared no better. Has Oboabo...

Abacha robbed these boys of 2 nations cups (1996 and 1998). Our talent was unmistakeable during the golden years from 1992-2002!

Maybe Musa could do well as a support striker in a 4-4-2 formation and learn to be more composed in front of goal under pressure and improve on his shooting. Afterall the guy has been in double figures per season in the Netherlands and Russia. He must realize that with his reputation for speed, defe...

Pipul don shake tire after watching SE against Argentina and Greece so tey mental and physical paralysis don take over!

The funny thing is that a mere 2 years ago, we had players who kept the likes of Messi and De Maria quiet for most of the game....it takes coaching, commitment and concentration (and some luck too) to take care of business. I am not certain the mental framework of the Super Eagles is such as to go t...

It's called "home advantage"....Ask South Korea how they managed to get to the semi-final in 2002 (although I must say that they had a very fit and hardworking team then).

Maybe it's more than coaching that is the problem with these boys! I no sey Naija man never play hard for friendly match, so na next Saturday wey we go know if sey we get team or not!

If Amodu is part of the world cup set-up, then what's his role? If Lagerback is the "technical adviser", then is he in charge and the boss. If Amodu is Chief coach, then who is responsible for team selection and can the coach overrride the adviser? All dis one na long tory....if Amodu is o...

Grass full ground for naija...make dis yeye football clubs use common sense and maintain better field for the good of the game. Na shame in this day and age, especially after hosting U-17, for NPL to dey allow match for inside stadium wey not get grass. Anyway....na naija....notin dey de way im supp...

What happened to the stadia from U-17 world cup? I thought NPL teams were supposed to play on those surfaces afterwards?

Seems to me that the guy had a syncopal attack. Idahor's head position before he fell down suggests to me that he was feeling faint, like he was about to pass out. His fall forward suggests to me that he lost muscle tone in the legs, which could have been due to poor circulation to the brain. There ...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this....brought back memories of a time when life was simple and footie in Naija was solid. Although I was a "very young" fan back in the late 70's and early 80's, I remember the Bendel Insurance team of 1978-1981 being a major force in the league and cup. I re...

Glory, glory Man United (X3)...and the Reds go Marching on, on, on!

any on-line links?

see di bobo scoring against El-Hadary! Good luck to him....hope he continues to develop and comes good for Naija. Only Echiejile has made it to SE from that set at this time.

Very true...that was the 1991 set that played in Cairo....Amunike was scooped up by Zamalek from Julius Berger after that tournament. It used to be a big deal in the old days, like another Cup of Nations (Nigeria won in 1973, resulting in a fruitful era in Nigerian football that cumulnated with the ...

Did we train those talented youths...Naija full ground wit talent...make we sow then reap, not reap where we have not sown!

I thought Obafemi Martins was naive and unsophisticated and did not know how to speak english (re: his recent court case in London).

How did Obasi make the subs bench after fading away after the first game?

Did CAF's technical commitee see the poor showing of Osaze in the knockout stages?

Anyway, all these lists are about personal opinions, which vary significantly from person-to-person!

We need more than luck..we need common sense and organization! Look at Egypt's equaliser against Nigeria. If my son's U-8 team conceeded a goal like that in our community league, I would puke! The bottom line is that we have all the tools to be a world power in many spheres of life, but underachieve...

We could have a system where the top 14 teams from the knock-out stage qualify for the ANC (plus winners and host), then have the ANC winner get a bye into the league stage of 8 teams made up of the winners of home and away matches between the 14 qualifiers. These 8 teams will play each other twice ...

Ghana will get there....They are doing the right things and the gradual progress is there to see. 28 years is a long time sha! As for Nigeria, the fact that we tend to make it to the semifinals usually in a state of administrative and organization choas has clouded our need to do what's right to get...
