The only Nigerian Players to attend AND PLAY at 3 World Cups
Respect to you all!
JJ OKOCHA - 1994, 1998 & 2002
NWANKWO KANU - 1998, 2002 & 2010
JOSEPH YOBO - 2002, 2010 & 2014
VINCENT ENYEAMA - 2002, 2010 & 2014
Interestingly, all would have been to and played at four World Cups if not for the 2006 miss. All were also captains of the National Team. The first three have quit playing football while the fourth continues to hang on. Vincent was trying to break the record of 4 World Cups and playing hence, his reluctance to sit on the bench. Was not meant to be. Kudos to them all. It is never easy to qualify, get selected and play in 3 World Cups under different coaches.
One worthy mention: Mutiu Adepoju attended 3 World Cups but, only played in 1994 & 1998. Attended 2002.

Re: The only Nigerian Players to attend AND PLAY at 3 World
Your logic is faulty. If Enyeama was trying to break the record, wld sitting on the bench not sufficient for that purpose? And him sitting on the bench doesn’t mean he will never play or perform better that keepers in training to warrant a start.

Re: The only Nigerian Players to attend AND PLAY at 3 World
Between Kanu, JJ and Yobo, we got a sum total of 1 assist and zero goals from 3 WC appearances. The sole assist came from a Yobo cross to Aghahowa for the goal vs Sweden. To be somewhat fair to The King, he got injured in the first game in 2002 vs Argentina....MYMIND wrote:Respect to you all!

Who is Vincent Enyeama? Who is Joe Hart?

To be fair to Okocha, he presented Kanu with one on one against denmark, but ur King messed up.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Between Kanu, JJ and Yobo, we got a sum total of 1 assist and zero goals from 3 WC appearances.

My point is sitting on the bench gives him 50% assurance of playing. So if he was truly trying to break the record, he wld have taken the offer.
Re: The only Nigerian Players to attend AND PLAY at 3 World
A keeper has 50% chance of playing once he makes the squad? Wow!

Re: The only Nigerian Players to attend AND PLAY at 3 World
Good to know that u have nothing else to say. Probability of playing is 50% once u make a squad. Except the coach says he's taking to have a feel that you won't play. As opposed 0% chance of playing if you don't make the squad. Tell me which will a player trying to break a record choose.MYMIND wrote:A keeper has 50% chance of playing once he makes the squad? Wow!

Whichever way u dice it, probability of playing is higher when u make the squad and 0% when u don't. Will like u to lecture us on your kind of logic.

Why no? I want to be lectured. From your lessons so far, both backup keeper and a keeper not in the squad have 0% chance of playing.
