I must say I am not surprised that Opabunmi was dropped. He was up against: Gabriel Melkham Ifeanyi Ekwueme Garba Lawal Ifeanyi Udeze and Celestine Babayaro are also due to come in and with five left footers in the team, Opabunmi must have been surplus to requirements. I am a bit surprised Uche Kal...

It's similar to Nigerian Player of the Year Award JJ co-sponsored and won a few years ago
Point of correction. JJ was the sole sponsor and winner of the Nigerian Player of the Year award.

It's either backstabber Onigbinde is not as strict a disciplinarian as everyone had made him out to be or he did not understand his own game plan enough to recognize when it was changed considering Taribo played 90+ minutes in the said game.

Re: Aghahowa Should Be Dropped!

BBC Africa is reporting that Aghahowa will not travel because he was not given a first class ticket. What kind of nonsense is this?

Every society should have some one who is not afraid to speak his mind. Those who are open minded will listen and then think about what is said. Taribo spoke his mind, probably been saying something to Onigbende privately at the time. This type of people (Taribo et al) gives you a different perspec...

But which striker would Martins have displaced in the SE squad? Aghahowa, Aiyegbemi, Agali, or Kanu? No SUPER EAGLES coach in his right mind would bench any of these players in favor of Martins, based on their cuurent form and their past record in the green, white, green. I think Martins saw the wri...

Is Di-Off the biggest African flop in the EPL? I can't think of any other player who promised so much but delivered absolutely nothing. Thank God for Okocha, Kanu, Yobo, and Aiyegbemi who have kept the African torch glowing in the EPL. SeneGambia is ruining African image in soccer.
