Why are you laughing? His analysis was spot on.

I have no idea why Sam Okoye faded out.

As good as Vince has been, he has cost us several times. He got better with reducing the mistakes as he got older, but he is still a mixed bag of outstanding saves and fundamental mistakes in key matches. (He had some bad ones in a recent CAN qualifier away to add to vs Angola WCQ, vs Korea 2010, vs France 2014 and a few other matches I can't place). I'm not talking losing matches here, I'm, talking fundamental mistakes.

Having said that, Vince put together the best performance by a Nigerian keeper in a tournament in CAN 2013. Tops Rufai's efforts in CAN 84 & 88.

Sunday Rotimi is still starting for the Nigerian Champions, Rivers United. Even though, we have learned that Stanley Eguma might have no clue or concerns about his actions at Rivers United, Rotimi is keeping Femi Thomas, who might just be the best keeper in the domestic league, on the bench, most of the time.

Etafia was horrible, just like Akpeyi, but even smaller. Looks like some super agent has developed a specialty in taking middle to bottom of the barrel NPFL keepers to South Africa and getting them a soft landing there.

Ejide has gone on to have a long decent career, but I don't think anyone on the forum (may AyoAkinfe?) has seriously clamored for him to be the undisputed SE No. 1

I think Sam Okoye passed away a few years back.
