But for real what happened to Mikel in the WC? He played so well in the AFCON. I thought he'd be for sure one of our best players instead he turned out to be by far the worst....It won;t be a stretch to say he was the worst starter in the WC.

Finesse, finesse, finesse......
There is corruption everywhere. Ours is just a bit more obvious than most.
We were/ are naive... We really should acquire more finesse so we can point to
others as corrupt and dive for all its worth and complain about divers right
along with them.

It is what it is in the sports business. See what's happening to him at Chelsea too. If he performs consistently in the SB team, he would be getting playtime more than he did last year.

Sports business is all about performance. About current form and not stats of years past.

That's not the issue here. Mikel did not even put in a decent effort. We understand when someone has limited talent like Babatunde and give the SE 120% effort. However when a person plays big man football and starts yelling at his teammates when he loses the ball, that person does not belong on the team.

Oh boy,even ypu sef know say the guy yab,if na anoda player you for don go open thread but Mikel need fans like you. I i know say if you call Mikel boy wonder he will slap U and ignore your groupie activities. People that care for him want him to step his game up but you just dey do groupie luv.

Anyway this letter was a little bit harsh from the guy that wrote it but he made a lot of good points,he wouldnt do none of the things he did if he was at Chelsea and that also boils down to our bench and the coach. Truth is Mikel was a let down at this world cup,i expected better and more from him,there must be something that happened we didnt know about.

So brother Balo, if I am in need today and you run to my help with $1000, and I am in need tomorrow you fly towards me with another $2000... will it be ok if I curse out the day-after-tomorrow if you fail to help me AGAIN in another time of need? Am just wondering...!

Well, believe it or not, this is EXACTLY what you guys are doing to Mike Obi!

Cheers!!!

We are talking about Nigeria here and all that achievement is zero if you are flop at the world cup. You should push to elevate yourself as a player not sticking your achievement up everybodies face when you peform bad. Never say never,players come and go and another player can achieve that and more,you dont even have to have all that to be arrogant or play bad,just show some heart on the field that all and youa re talking like a groupie.

Bro, have U ever practiced a sport competitively? I will assume YES for the sake of this conversation. Have U played well in ALL games/matches that you partook in? If you are honest, the answer is NO! All players, all professionals have at least once in their lifetime what we call A BAD DAY IN THE OFFICE! This is what I assume happened to Mikel Obi in this case. He just wasn't in the game against France...it just wsn't his day!

Believe me, this happened to me in a Table Tennis game in 1983; it was my last competition before coming to the US. I defeated the #1 Ghanaian player in the semi (his name was Seth Darko) and lost to an underdog in the finals. I just wasn't in the game...as if someone had tied me with a rope.There were 2 instances when the ball was at least 4 feet high and I still smashed it into the net. Those things happened!

Look at what happened to Brazil against Germany! Who could have predicted such a disaster??? I was in a meeting at work during the game and when my son texted me that the score 5 nil at the half time, I thought my son made a mistake and assumed it was Brazil leading 5 - 0. You should have seen the expression on my face when I came back to my desk and checked the score on the web!!!

It will be fair to write off Mikel Obi completely if he has 3 or 4 bad games; such uis NOT the case here since his perfomance against the Persians (Iran) was not bad at all!

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Cheers!!!

Brother, how did I make this complicated? The brothers have been pounding on Mikel Obi and my "rebuttal" was NOT about his disrespecting of his peers but rather an attempt to explain his lacustre performance against Les Francais. So how did I make this complicated? Please enlighten me, may be I will learn something... may be I was doing something wrong that I was not aware of.

I just wasn't in the game...as if someone had tied me with a rope.There were 2 instances when the ball was at least 4 feet high and I still smashed it into the net. Those things happened!

Look at what happened to Brazil against Germany! Who could have predicted such a disaster??? I was in a meeting at work during the game and when my son texted me that the score 5 nil at the half time, I thought my son made a mistake and assumed it was Brazil leading 5 - 0. You should have seen the expression on my face when I came back to my desk and checked the score on the web!!!

It will be fair to write off Mikel Obi completely if he has 3 or 4 bad games; such uis NOT the case here since his perfomance against the Persians (Iran) was not bad at all!

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Cheers!!!
