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.
Yakubu our best player was phoned up by Okocha on the morning of the first game and 53 year old Peter Rufai was our second best performer. And they seemed to be the fittest.

Re: Sixes Tourney - Spain 8 Nigeria 1
I'm highly disappointed in the preparation of the team. These ex eagles came into this tournament out of every shape. It is fun, but at the minimum, show up prepared to entertain the fans.

Very impressed with Rufai's shape. If we are to believe ageologists, the man should be in his 60's by now.

Rufai was actually amazing. I really had to do a double take in the first game when I saw how he was diving for low balls and keeping them out.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Cellular wrote:Dem choose demsevs?goldenera94 wrote:I'm highly disappointed in the preparation of the team.

Re: Sixes Tourney - Spain 8 Nigeria 1
To be honest, it would have been difficult for them to prepare...compared to the europeans and the brazilians. They live all over the world....for them to prepare, they would need to camp. Who's gonna pay for that? I read on this thread someone say one team was preparing for 3 months....for the eagles, that's virtually impossible. The players from more developed countries can easily pull this off....Nigerian players can't....they're much farther apart than the europeansgoldenera94 wrote:I'm highly disappointed in the preparation of the team.
