Song is in the same club as Utaka, right? He won't say such a thing.

Ike Shorunmu, Taribo West, Sunday Oliseh and a host of others did not make the Nigerian team to the Nations Cup.

DOnt worry my brother song...we dont need Oliseh, because now we have the mighty, mighty Ekong. :lol:
If song really said this then im pissed, i apologise to my Nigerian Brothers for saying Naija cannot beat cameroon.I have to throw fact aside because it is now a matter of pride... :evil:
Song is right, but he shoudn't have said it like that now....Okocha and kanu probably dont care since they have run out of desire to play for naija, Im sure they agree with Song...
on the other hand this might be an attempt by some reporter to unite the eagles camp and give them a reason to really play....

I can now understand why he couldn't step up his game after six nations cup appearances, and all the accollades on cameroun. Too full of himself. Let's see what happens first in Tunisia. But then I want to believe he didn't say it the way it was posted :evil: :evil:

I know. Song, Saar, Diop and Utaka are like brothers at Lens, along with Bakari. When I went to see them, John was the last out of the dressing room and Song offered to go and get him for me but I said I am happy to wait.

Dat Song na real gentleman. All the fame and fortune has not gone to his head. If you get sister wey dey fain husband, I would recommend him. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cameroon’s defence ace and captain of the Indomitable Lions, Rigobert Song, has described the present Super Eagles being tutored by Christian Chukwu as a ‘bunch of pretenders to the throne.’

If it wasn't for the sake of "if you can't beat them join them", I would agree with Song's statement, and reiterate that Aiyegbeni and Utaka are both pretenders......but I'm not gonna say it.

It sounds like another fake story from one of our famed "journalists". I doubt very much that Song said it

Cameroon’s defence ace and captain of the Indomitable Lions, Rigobert Song, has described the present Super Eagles being tutored by Christian Chukwu as a ‘bunch of pretenders to the throne.’
The skipper of the defending champions says the calibre of players Coach Chukwu will be parading in the forthcoming Nations Cup are lilly–livered, who might not have guts to stamp their authorities when the goings get tough during the tournament.
Song, who did not see anything spectacular in the mixture of young and old players being put together by Christian Chukwu says, it will take divine intervention for the Super Eagles to play up to the semi-finals in the Nations Cup.
Surprisingly, the Cameroonian has also expressed confidence in the ability of the Senegalese and Malian national teams to do better than the Super Eagles at the Nations Cup.
"If we meet the Super Eagles again, we shall teach them a lesson of their lives. I don’t see the Super Eagles going far in this competition, he said.
"But both the Senegal and Mali national teams have better prospects in the Nations Cup, he added.
Reports reaching our news desk indicated that the Cameroonians had already started counting their chicken before they are hatched, saying that they would make a mince meat of the Super Eagles if they happened to meet the Nigerian side in the quarter-final of the Nations Cup.
Apparently stunned by the players in Chukwu’s list released to CAF at the eve of the deadline date, die-hard fans of Indomitable Lions and indeed FECAFOOT buffs believed that Nigeria does not have such a calibre of players that will intimidate the Lions of Cameroon at the tournament.
Daily Sunsport gathered that some of the die-hard supporters of Indomitable Lions are happy that the likes of Ike Shorunmu, Taribo West, Sunday Oliseh and a host of others did not make the Nigerian team to the Nations Cup.
When did Song make this comment?

BABS OYETORO probably making up the story, has anyone else seen this interview.
