Rogermilla, why should you believe Puma over FIFA. Like I pointed out in a similar thread that Puma went public that they would absorb any FIFA fine. That was careless and reckless and that is why there is an additional punishment of a 6 points deduction. Puma put Cameroon in this problem through th...

Like many contributors have pointed out, Cameroon were warned by FIFA. THe fault lies with stupid football administrators in Africa, who allow our national teams to be used for experiments. Puma sponsors European and South American football teams, why was Cameroon singled out for experimentation? CA...

Fastest Attack??
The 1994 brand of SE with Finidi, Ammunike, Yekini, Amokachi was said to have one of the fastest attack in world football. The strength of the team was based on their fast counter attacks which caught opponents napping. Arsenal are also believed to play a similar brand of fast counter attacking foot...

Should Oruma Be recalled to the SE?
I happened to stay at the Nicon hotel in Abuja when the SE played Brazil last August. I witnessed a close bond between the players, i.e. Uttaka, Udeze, Yak, Ekong, Nworgu, Ekwueme, Enakhahire, Ejide etc, who were lodged in the same hotel. They were everywhere together and even travelled together to ...

I recently watched videos of the SE friendly with Brazil and CAN qualifier against Malawi, and Okoronkwo was superb in both matches. I com...

The squad to regain Nigeria's Olympic Gold
I was musing over the pool of young talent available to Nigeria and the thought occured to me that if nigeria were to qualify for Athens 2004 football tournament, we do stand a good chance of regaining the gold medal. After much delibration, I chose the following 18 man squad as being capable of win...

I asked myself this question after watching Olofin's performance in CAN2004 and then reviewed videos of other DMs. I watched Karibe Ojigwe in action against Liberia and Sudan in the 2002 WC qualifiers and he was very good in winning the ball and disrupting the opposition's play. He tended to play sh...
