Official ...Nigeria's final 23--Toyin Ibitoye

[kajifu]

The list is fine, why people complain too much is unbelievable. Keshi or any coach will never select 23 man that everyone is happy with the list

[noname]

Wetin Yobo dey do for this team? The guy dey lose concentration too much oh!!!

[Coach]

Keshi has assembled his army, old adage reads of the impetus to the infantry's march and with that said, tis for the head of the table to feed his battalions ample portions of tactical ploy and strategy to allow them to march beyond expectation. As Champions of Africa, Nigeria must be the continent's brightest light and if such stature be of any significance, assuming parity between the continents, one would anticipate African representation in the semi-finals. Rather than chastise Keshi's selection, better to see this collection of 'world beaters' as his chosen armoury to war with the world. Nigeria's successes will be a consequence of his marvel as will her failures. Competence and capability on the grandest stage of all, all hats cast into the ring for a gargantuan battle royal. En garde.

This is a terrible team. I am speechless. But some things are better left unsaid. Keshi cannot improve the team any better than what he has already done. After the World Cup, we should politely thank him for his services and relieve him of this job. If Keshi has 23 players better than Obasi, Uche and Martins and Aiyenugba, then we should win the World Cup.

Martins, Aiyenugba, Uche, and Obasi are top top talents right? Every top club in Europe is banging their doors begging for their signatures right? These are Champions League calibre players no? If we would win the WC with better talents than them then I guess it'll be because the likes of Brazil and Spain, Germany and Argentina are now playing an exclusive world cup of their own minus the scrubs like us.

You have a bloated view of the quality of our players. Obasi is a slowed down version of his old hot self, a player in Germany who isn't on Bayern or Dortmund's radar is not a player to brag about and that's the gospel truth. Uche is at best a mid level talent who's now 30 but has never been anything close to world class in Spain (scoring against Real and Barca once in a while doesn't make you a god), Martins plays in the MLS (no need to say more), and Aiyenugba...who?

If this team does well, it'll be on the strength of Keshi's ability to mold them into a unit not on the performance of individuals, there's one maybe two or three individuals who're anything close to world class and that's mikel, moses and emenike and truly only mikel is at that top level, it'll be on the strength of the team playing as a TEAM that helps us. You may not know it but all the eggs have been in Keshi's basket for a while. Pray and hope they do well, that way Nigerian players get more recognition and move to bigger clubs, that way our soccer program grows. Wake up and smell the coffee already, this team's strength is it's coach and it's unity!

Words of wisdom. It is impossible to please everyone. I think this team will at least reach the quarter finals. Let us start to give them our utmost support. God bless Super Eagles!
