Re: SUPER-EAGLES NEWS--41 TO 45 AND MORE

So the allmighty ignorant Ade Ojeikere wants to select home-based players like Ugochukwu over Kanu on account of having undergone serious training over one week in camp. And BTW, who says we don't know the form of our first team players.... However you've gotta feel sorry for the likes of Ojeikere, ...

Uwua is another of those media hyped local coaches that emerge every once in a while to the halleluya chorus of pro-LCs, is shot down sooner or later by the burden of their ignorance, and slide quietly into the familar terrain of obscurity.

First, Blatter will not speak to the G14 and rightly so! They are not a legal entity in football and therefore have no corporate basis on which to negotiate. But whenever its agreed and they begin to negotiate a compensation scheme for the clubs, CAF needs to add a clause for compensation of small A...

I believe that a player who has made the full transition to the SE has no business playing for the Olympic team.
But I see that Musa has continued to juggle players with little rhyme or reason.

The fact that the camp in Faro has 22 players, nearly two weeks after it was opened and just over three weeks to the ANC cannot be an achievement and a reason to give kudos to the NFA. You need to find something else. But keep trying, you might yet get there :mrgreen:

Something does not make sense about the Nigerian kit deal.

It just does not make s...

Where is Issa Hayatou?

It is just over three weeks to the ANC and the one question I have is- where is Issa Hayatou? Where is that miserable Cameroonian goatt of a CAF President? In the past two weeks or more, a host of European clubs have mounted a concerted siege on the ANC, Africa’s premier football showcase. African p...
