Every National team coach is faced with the dilema of presenting a list that will suit the interest of those at the glass house. Once his list is submited, the politicians at the glass house scrutinizes the list to ensure that national interest is represented. Their primary aim isnt which club, position or how effective a player is, but which geopolitical zone he is from. Its an open-secret and it was proposed for the interest of unitygringrin. Some of the guys at the list deserves to be there, but a good percentage is just balancing things up.

Guapo: so happy for my main man- Kenneth Omeruo (ADO Den Haag, Netherlands). All the best pal. smiley
Keep famzing, ur "main man" no ge even smell warm up not to talk of play 2mins.. cheesy

This is a sh*t-list, and keeping Osaze out isn't the most prudent decision. Passion & dedication aren't qualities that are rewarded in this country! undecided

I sense this already but Martin, ah Oba goal. At least putting him among the extra players. He is humble enough to accept it. Wish them success.

D sage: I support Keshi for not inviting Osaze and Taiwo. But at least,he should have invited Matins, this is because I don't see any quality strikers in that squad.

we needs at least an experience forward to inspired those guys he invited.

Not a bad list. We can't keep relying on those who have been failing us, repeatedly and with sheer inpunity...Presently, Odemwingie isnt playing 100% neither are Taiwo n Martins. Sentiments cannot win anything for us as much as we like these guys, we need fresh legs and new results. we only need to support them and hope for the best.

What in God name is this, I mean i Cant shout o! Have always supported Keshi, Martins exclusion is very annoying, there is no one on that striking list that can poach like Martins, Dike bright is Keshi kidding me! Whats his purpose, well i bel4eve he wnt make the cut, buh I feel for Martins, his situation is quite crazy, rabium Ibrahim I hope he 3inally stares for the team, he his becoming a wasted asset due tothe slavery of the whites, i wish us well o! But am nt too impressed, martins would have been great.

My problem is still that defence.

Apart from Yobo l'm not aware of another reliable defender there. I don't have enough confidence in Echiejile and Ambrose. I still prefer Taiwo. Shittu is a fighter, highly committed with great work rate but I don't know his current fitness level.

Apart from defence, I'm ok with other departments. We won't miss Martins, although he is more threat to defenders than our center forwards of Emenike and Ideye . Osaze would have been a quality addition but we can't afford rows in team this time,which may be inevitable if he makes the team.

Our real weak link remains defence.

Shittu or shit?
Re: Odewingie, Martins & Taiwo Dropped For AFCON 2013 by 2million1(m): 5:48pm On Dec 22, 2012
i support keshi all the way, what the super eagles need is not pass glory or records of players but their current form. Osaze as we know is not in form and martins is too old for to be in a competion where guys blood is boiling

The racist comment is uncharitable.
Drogba is black for God'sake. Nobody stopped him from ruling Europe. The white is in no way Rabiu's problem.

D defend is d problem. Elepant danny shittu, slowmock joseph yobo, and d homebase setup
Re: Odewingie, Martins & Taiwo Dropped For AFCON 2013 by boron10(m): 5:54pm On Dec 22, 2012
And I hope Eyeama won't be our first choice goal keeper this time. We can't afford to have someone who is very prone to mistake to keep our goal. Isn't it obvious that this guy is old? I swear he's older than Van dar sar. Yet he claims to be in his 20s.

How is he going to handle shot from Drogba or Muntari, given the fact that his eyes are aging? Keshi should really consider using someone else as the number 1 goal keeper.

The defence yet again becomes the problem, he shud have saved himself the trouble of the strikerz list and snurced for replace in the defence, aod the midfield, and i believe that shud be the centre of cncentration
Re: Odewingie, Martins & Taiwo Dropped For AFCON 2013 by winnieG1(m): 6:02pm On Dec 22, 2012
UP KESHI, abeg make una leave keshi alone, he made the best choice. we can not continue to rely on past glory and failed super chickens of the 20th century in this 21th century. the last time i checked, Jay-Jay Okocha was neither playing in premier league nor Spanish La Liga before he put up that fantastic display and became a favourite with the Nigerian supporters with trailing free-kick which ended 1–0 against Algeria and led us to 1994 world cup in USA

NIGERIA FOR AFCON FINALS, guess who they are going to play at the finals!

But he should included martin.i know ozase is a traitor.may be he counts on mikel.
tpapi: Ozase is doin well in his club no doubt but he is a traitor,he cannot be trusted,he gave lagabac problems also gave siasia problems which eventually led to his sack,keshi is very weary of ozase,no coach wants a player dat wil cause disaFfection in d team,keshi is spo on on dis, I see us being among d last 3,dat is if we don't eventually lift dat trophy

Dan situ is not bad.however our defence is not reliable.with mikel in midfield defence will not have much problem.but d team may not able to produce much goal.i think the team need martin.osaze is a clown.
