Dude, please pretend to get your facts right...
Ikpe Ekong made his Eagles'debut under Shaibu Amodu!

And before that, he was a Nigerian U-20 international!

I would be suprised if Chukwu makes it beyond Dec 2005... Oh no! Please not the "shifting deadlines" yet again! We were assured that he would not lead us to ANC 2004... We were re-assured that he won't last beyond ANC 2004... We were told that an FC would be in place for the WCQs... We we...

Ola, You missed it, Alardyce played against the third best team in the league. We sure can't say the same about Pompey I could add to that... But upon reading that Robson is "an above average coach"... I suspect that I would be wasting time and bandwidth! :oops: __________________________...

GT: Post like these are akin to premature ejaculation on at least the following basis: (1) Nigeria has to first qualify for Germany '06. And since the NFA Chairperson Ibrahim Galadima has already warned Nigerians that a new foreign coach would not necessarily be expected to qualify for Germany '06, ...

I thought coach Godwin Izilien promised that the SierraLeonians will be taught a soccer lesson in Naija, but the result is a zero all tie in our backyard.

Etoile were then handed a fortuitous penalty on the stroke of halftime after a theatrical dive from their Nigerian-born striker Emeka Opara, playing against his home town club.

KOC AND AKIDE IN CAR CRASH

The following KickOff Nigeria report indicates that apart from their completely written-off vehicle, everyone seems to have emerged with their physical health apparently intact.
