Ol'boy I hope you know being objective is not against the law. Jarzinho should have been fired after that crap called game plan in came to Nigeria with. How can a team inspiring to go to the WC go on the road and play as crappy as the Gabonese did? Ol'boy I am not sure which game you saw but I saw ...

Actually he said nothing new. Just as much has been said here on the site. FIFA does not discount or discourage government involvement in soccer, either. What FIFA does not accept is interference in the running of the sport. That is a thin line of difference that should be underscored.

I have said it before and I will say it again: our players need better PR skills ... and it seems that this is true even for our seasoned players. In life, everyone has grudges, opinions etc. The trick is to figure out what to say where and for whom. Any professional player who is benched will more...

I think Yujam's point is the very thing that is wromng with the APOY award i.e giving out the award solely based on a player's performance in Europe. IMHO, what should matter is the player's performance in the WCQ and ANCQ in 2005. Unfortunately, that very criteria was lost on the voters in 2004.

Obaseki goes ballistic.....

Please read below and note how this man insults the very players that he owes 40% of their money. Clearly, he feels he has done the players a favor by paying only 60% of their money. This is a man who now heads the local League Board of Nigeria. However, make no mistake this is the prevailing attitu...

Frankly, Gotti has thrown the book on the points that you guys have raised. It is time to give up and plan to fight on another day. At that time, it would be better to first check on the stats and their ability to stand the test that will be inevitably applied.

As I said before the Gabon game, the most important thing is three points and not by how much you win. A 1-0 win over Gabon would have been just okay as well. IMO, this format is better than goal difference. For one it ensures that when there is a tie the strength of just the two teams are compared....
