those sayin that if JJ plays he must be captain make me laff .. Yobo deserves it ahead of him .. I woulda preferred Lawal!! If JJ refuses to play .. oh well .. :P Critao: Unfortunately, it is not now a matter of who deserves what but a matter of appropriate politico-managerial move. Why set your ow...

I don't think Okocha would have too much of a problem handing over the captionship to Yobo. Infact I believe he will embrace it cos it will remove the burden of having to meet everyone's expectation off the field. IAG: I do not believe the above is correct. First, the decision is whether Okocha is ...

I am glad. The organizers didn't have Nigeria's best interest at heart. It would have served no purpose, whatsover. My feeling dovetails on this. I am glad, as the logistics was becoming crazy particularly with the Angola game in the horizon. If they want it back on it will make more sense in July ...

AYO: Actually, Nigeria's chances to reach the WC remain bright. Remember, we went through this debate late last week when I argued from the point of the SE drawing in Kigali, which has unfortunately happened. Inspite of your doomsday analysis and the alarm, Nigeria is in a far better position in the...

EII, I take the same view expressed by my friend Dan Egwu in Saturday's Sun newspapers. JJ has been gently hinting the NT handlers of his need to reduce his level of involvement in the SE since 2002. Repeatedly! Rather than address this technically, CCC prefers to 'pally' Okocha. And when he does a...

anyone expecting any different from the coach considering the situation we are in, is just unreasonable. We never learn. Amodu said it. You cant throw away the backbone of your team and expect to do well. The players that went to Kigali will be happy to receive Okocha back. They knew the difference...

Its a pity Cameroon, Egypt and CIV are in the same group while SA get their usual cake-walk. What exactly had Egypt or CIV done before now to deserve a seeding over South Africa? Seeds are assigned on results on not mere conjecture on a team's quality of talent. I see nothing wrong on how the seeds...

I SEE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR REASONS WHY ARG WAS UPSET, BUT... ...no one's trying to pin it on the coach. No one's recalling the incredible talent that Arg delivers like an assembly line, their great heritage or the top European clubs that hire their players. No one has told us how long Bielsa has been...

Guess who will benefit the most if Okocha is not allowed to play against Angola? Oga . Yeap. He will finally get the long needed rest he has being praying for. If you guys don't realize Oga is at the twillight of his career and cares very little about lacing his boots while wearing the GWG, then gu...

Choi...I couldn't believe my eyes when I landed at De Ranch tonight and saw AIT back on the air..di ting just sweet my body..game don full ground for Sunday be dat. Shouts out to PaJ, G4L and Cellular...good to see you folks again kicking it at the famous De Ranch..I was hoping Ezesports will show ...

Wiseone: I have said this repeatedly. In one off games such as this you probably need no more than 15 foreign pros and the rest are home guys. Frankly, the team has done well to raise 17 pros but we have had occasions (under Libregts & BJ) where the team travelled with far less. The way to prev...

IMO, not inviting ALL the players again is a very bad managerial move and should not be taken. As I said measured moves should be made and there are several options that are far better than merely banning all the players. Banning all of them is so simplistic whereas the issue is variied and complex...

I must say that I agree with Gotti on this. Six U-20 guys in the WC 2006 team? It won't happen. If it does then Nigeria will have very little chance to do well in WC 2006. In any case, Taiwo is already part of the SE team. Though he will have to sweat just to be part of the WC2006 team but I will be...

I do not believe it has much to do with the coach. As you are all aware, we have had this problem for years. I can find examples when we had Otto Gloria as coach, Westerhoff as coach, etc. CCC was not coaching the team by then, btw. In fact the worst case yet, was BJ taking about 13 players to Asmar...

From what we have seen over the course of the World Cup qualifiers, it is crystal clear that certain players have lost the will to play for Nigeria. As we all know, the absenteesim we witnessed over the last week is not a one off. Many of these players have shown a consistent pattern over the last ...

Is this correct?

What's the source of your stats? When was the first game played?

MD, Robbynice, wey una dey? Ol..boy..I dey NYC. I spoke with the head of their NYC office last night and he said the problem has something to do with getting the signals from Europe to the States or something like that...but said he was hopeful they would be back on air before Sunday.. I will call ...

I hope that Nwaneri makes it... Because he can play several roles in defense. I just spoke to the boys again and Makinwa answered the phone first and then past on to Martins and they were fast asleep but managed to find out the following from Martins. 1. They had a light workout for 30-45 minutes t...
