Where are the "Give CCC kudos" loyalist?? And by the way, just as u are preparing your speeches, u can elaborate on the inclusion of Ekong and co over Obodo and Melkam......let's forget about the Oruma's issue for now.

One thing CCC fails to realise is that if we flop badly today, his resume is stained forever.....he doesnt have a good resume as a coach in the first place!

Its not a CCC thing. It happened with Westahof, Bonfrere, Bora and Amodu.
It wold have happened with Onigbinde too if he had taken the team to the nations cup

I reserve my comments till after the ANC, God willing. CCC must know something we ordinary fans do not know.

I know that the players will do their best on the field, that I have no gripe with... In my opinion, I do not think that this list has contigency built in.

For example, if Abbey gets injured, we do not have an adequate right full back as replacement. Enakhire is not a right back, and he got burnt many a time against Brazil. I'll would have preferred Chris Kanu be included in the squad.

Yobo can slide to the right back slot, but that leaves the central defense with a partnership of Okoronkwo and Orjinta. And again, we saw what happened against Brazil...

I do not like our defensive options at all. The way this thing is evolving, I might have to watch this ANC with my eyes closed.

When was the last time Nigeria held a training camp before a major tournament and anyone new was given a fair and equal chance to compete? To have expected that all those homebased players would get chosen was to expect that Nigeria would pay its massive external debts tomorrow!

With all due respect, it is childish and churlish to think that Faro is only justified if an all-new team (or a majority of new players) are picked for the tournament. Faro served MANY useful purposes, which include the validation of the quality of the subsisting Eagles' players.

I just heard this news from teh grape vine that Chuwkwu himself dosent feel too confident about the team and is gonna leave a lot of things up to JJ when he arrives camp.

I will tell you the purpose of the Faro camp. It was used to introduce the future players to Nigerian soccer. Players such as Okocha, Kanu, West, Lawal etc will soon retire. Who will take over?? those that were cut today. They served their purpose as training materials and they will be rewarded in the future as starters. My question is "Why do Niaja change teams every tournament? the so so "Fighting for shirt" Why isn't Senegal or Cameroon introducing a whole new team through this "Fighting for shirt" crap? That is why our team hasn't had the cohesiveness it had in '94. We never stick to our starters.

It is impossible to speak in all due respect and then to call the other person's opinions "childish and churlish". Nevertheless, how did Faro validate the quality of Utaka, Kanu, Babayaro, and Okocha who never stepped foot in Portugal?

R007,

You bring up a good point and camp Faro from day one was all a charade from the get go.. I am not surprised one bit as it was a total waste of time since everyone including those on this forum like NFA C had their own agenda on what was really going on and what player will be picked all i can say is hahahahaahaaa it was bound to happen...

When Uche Kalu the man who got us back in that crucial game against Angola when all hope was lost and Femi Opabunmi were told not to report to Faro again everyone hailed the NFA as making the right decisions and saying that would save money, ohh the camp is full already, ohh they should have left long time ago and all talk. Not everyone is can't believe this happened... Shame....

Very good point MI5. It can't help the morale of the home based players that they came to Faro and only two Enyimba players (Enyeama and Orjinta) made the final team for Tuinisia. What was the point of having this expensive and time consuming camp? The only benefits I can see is it gave the goalies a chance to show their stuff and it gave players like Lawal, who is without a club and players like Aghahowa and Olofinjana whose clubs are not in season a chance to stay fit.

But it's pretty clear and I believe was evident beforehand that Chukwu already had his 22 in mind before the camp began so why waste so much money on holding the Faro camp?

My question goes: What was the point of Faro and our other friendlies for the past yr if 4-1-5 is the best we cud come up with??
