I respect Amodu alot, perhaps is still the best in NIgeria, but how he allowed mediocrity to creep up to him, i dont know?? He was a mess at the Nations cup , just because he failed to handle the team professionally, rather than lack of knowledge. Nigeria played woefully at Mali 2002, and that was ...
