I am glad he did. Which Nigerian player has any star power? Yobo? or is Martins? Abeg, make I hear word!! Nigerian players in Europe are all overhyped.

I know that we all like to pile on Ayo but deep down we know that he has a point. At this point in Nigerian soccer even a FC will not be successful because of two things: 1. Lack of a quality Football Association 2. Lack of quality players. As far as the NFA, it is the way it is. Nigeria is going no...

Marko, Robbynice, and CMS please don't let this come across as being rude because I really enjoy you guys' knowledge in your posts, but, who do you think should be the coach of SE since you all think that Siasia ain't it?

That is what you get for playing for a club like Everton. Moyes is your typical English coach who is still living in the dark ages of soccer i.e. kick and run.

I agree with you Marko. I know that BV is not a good coach, but, this present crop of SE lack class. There is no player on the rteam that has quality let alone desire or passion to play fro Nigeria. I really like Egyptian approach. They hire a quality local coach and rely more on hone grown talent. ...

Men!!! Guys why are we so bothered about who caused the goal. Ghana won fair and square. We have slightly above average national team right now.

Very impressive. I am happy for the boys. We may not be a great team but I do appreciate them celebrating and singing praises to God.

Let's get it ooooonn!!!! SE you'll never walk alone..

The biggest problem that SE will have in the Nations Cup is attaking from the wide position. Nigeria does not have any creative players who can attack or defend on the wings. All our midfielders are central midfielders who do not have the gule to play wide. That is why we always play Utaka and Osaze...

We are in big trouble as a Nation. How can we put forth such a contract for such a coach as Vogts?

I don't know why you'all bother yourselves about who the top five teams in Africa are. I think some of you do this because you know that you will get a negative reaction from Nigerian SE fans. We all know that the SE are not really good right now. However, thinks can turn around at any time.

MI5 I really enjoy your posts concerning the status of our national team. You are spot on concerning the problem facing soccer in Nigeria. I am hoping as you've stated that BV will have the kahunas to start looking for hungry players i.e home based or foreiggn based who really want to play for Niger...

Folks please let us put all this to rest. Odegbami is a legend and Yobo is on his way. There is no basis for comparison because Yobo is a defender and Odegbami was a winger/forward.

African Star you are the man. Your comments are the "FACTS" that we SE supporters inculding myself have failed to realize. I love my country and I want it to be a dominant in soccer. However,this is not going to happen because the pool of players we have is very, very, overated. No "W...

I agree that the word "junk" may be too harsh. But the players in the SE set-up today just lack the pedigree and mental toughness we once had with the likes of Finidi, Amunike, Siasia, Amokachi, Adepoju and co.

BV cannot and is not capable of bringing anything new, unique or creative to the SE. Let us look at his track record: 1. He won the European Cup as head coach of Germany with predecesors players ( Sorry I forgot his name ). 2. He did a poor job with Kuwait. 3. Scotland, we all know what happened. 4....

This is where NFA should focus their attention. The development and promotion of Youth Soccer is the only way to develop soccer in Nigeria. This crash program thing and hiring of a "suspect" foreign coach will not help Nigeria at all.

Hey Platini has a point in that African Soccer Orgainizations should take ownership in developing the game in their respective countries from the monies they get from FIFA. I don't think that is a bad statement to make. He may be a biggot we will never know.

eto_fils you are absolutely correct. Obi is just a centre-mid. SE fans including myself always find ways to look for a player to replace Okocha. Obi is a midfielder pure and simple. Watching him play last night was quite impressive and I think that it will help his confidence in the long run. He is ...

Nigeria does not have star players end of story. Many fans on this board includung myself overate our players a lot. Right now this particular group of players in the SE set up are very average at best.

JssMan is right on the money on this one. We as SE fans have a tendency of overhyping Nigerian players. Personally, I will take the Ghananian line-up versus the Super Eagles. Our players are not quality anymore.

I am Super Eagles fan like SUYA. I bow down to Ghana too. They are back. Claude LeRoy is going to mold this team into something scary.

Marko you are absolutely right here. Berti Vogts will not last 2 years in Nigeria. Presently the palyers we have are average players. I do see a world class player on this Nigerian team including Obafemi Martins. The present crop of players are on borrowed times and they always feel like they are ow...
