Enugu II, the club vs country row will always be there but is significantly enhanced when the players have little respect for the coach. Besides, look at how Shakes Mashaba has been treated by Man U? They have no respect for him and he constantly rang them to get in touch with Fortune but was rebuff...

Mystic, as soon as the 2006 World Cup draws were announced, I sent a message to Ogunjobi, asking him to try and speak to the other FAs concerned and see if the majority of the games could be played in Fifa windows. No one has heard from him. Just wait and see the confusion that will ensue when the g...

As far as I am aware, Ogunjobi has not said yes to any of the offers put to him so far. I have passed on a few enquiries I got and we are all still wai...

CCC has no blame whatsoever in this. It is 100% Ogunjobi's fault. What kind of sec gen of an FA does not draw up an annual calendar of friendlies before the year starts? By now, he should have pencilled in all friendlies to be played in 2004. Do you know that Australia have written to the NFA asking...

(2) Cradddock can stand toe to toe with attackers and shephard them wide, whereas Okoronkwo is more li...

(2) Look at how Okoronkwo got used by Henrik Larson in the World Cup, how he was unable to jump against Argentina and how he gets benched at Wolves (3) Taribo West has no pace whatsoever. Look at how D...

In the past, you would have one player who has a problem coming to the ANC but when you have half of your team - and your best players for that - shunning the squad, you know you have serious problems. In Mali 2002 and Ghana/Nigeria 2000, South Africa had virtually a complete squad. If the current c...

A burnt out JJ could spell disaster for Nigeria, primarilly because CCC will not be able to replace him if he is not firing on all cylinders. Remember what happened against Senegal in Mali when Amodu did not have the balls to pull him offf at half time?

Even if the likes of Enyeama, Okoye, Rotimi and Ejide as twice as talented as the likes of Shorunmu, Egbo and Akanji, no coach worth his salt would play them, simply because it is just not done.
