The tournament has a single backup keeper for any team that needs a keeper. Malik Taylor is the tournaments backup keeper.Damunk wrote:How did oyibo end up keeping for Naija after Rufai got injured?
Bottom line is that most were totally out of shape. I think they took it as a novelty tournament but others took it seriously. What were Okocha Snr, Uche Okechukwu and Taribo doing in the squad? Even Bbayaro sef.Spicyee wrote:Not surprising. I said on the other thread the Nigerian team selection is poor, especially offensively. This type of tourney requires more midfielders than traditional defenders. Sunday Oliseh, Mutiu Adepoju and Finidi George would have given so much balance to this team.
Aghahowa, Uche Okechukwu and Taribo West, unfortunately could not offer much.

...just like everything Nigeria to participate you got to be old, very old, not very capable, like our SE is always stacked with oldies while young players that just conquered youth tournaments are never invited.YUJAM wrote:Spain and other sides featured recently retired players while the average Nigerian player has been out of the game for close to 15 years. The fact that the Nigerian team did this well is a miracle. Rufai had to go off after spraining his wrist from a bulala from Salgado. Body no be firewood. Watching this was painful
Add on top the major age cutting this generation of players used to do, Yakubu is the only one that could somewhat keep up lol.YUJAM wrote:Spain and other sides featured recently retired players while the average Nigerian player has been out of the game for close to 15 years.

Just like Musa, JAG's primary asset in his prime was his pace. That goes with age unlike most other skills that still remain.Spicyee wrote:Not surprising.

There is a 55 year old in the Danish team, again we did not take the tournament serious, Scotland has been training 3 months before the game, if we can just add discipline and organisation to our talents we will be competing with Braziltruetalk wrote:What are the (age) rules for this tournament?
Peter Rufai is 54 for crying out loud!!
