Ghana would do better against non-African teams, since it is a better team overall than Nigeria. The Little Eagles are a one-hit wonder.

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: The Ages of these Players don't match the Faces......

First Dude looks to be clearly in his late 30s

bisikeys: This squad lacks dept. I see a lot of people the coach is trying to sell. Who is Muhammad Gambo and what has he done to be in the team? Who is Solomon Kwambe?? In midfield, i only see two players of class, Ogenyi Onazi and Mikel Obi.. Before you start mentioning Mba, in all of Nigeria's games that he has played , what is his overall performance. He's always anonymous for most of the game. His role is so undefined. You dont see him tackle, you dont see him pass, he just shows that occasional flash of brilliance. Check out our games in the Nations cup, Before and after the goals, what was his impact? What role was he playing? Defensive midfield, or attacking midfield? I believe this is not the best team Nigeria can offer at this stage. this is just the team of a coach trying to prove a point(that am in charge).

Man.......

Them Brothas Look Old

I wish Naija all the Best Though

Opey4luv: The defence of this team is so poor, none of the players has the experience at the highest level to carry the team along.
The mid-field is kind of kinky, with Mikels experience and Mba's power, they can do wonders but am warning you, they will be chassing the ball around against Spain coz good mid-fielders are different from world class ones.
The attack is kind of bullshit, no Emenike. Keshi should have called back Osaze, this is a matter of National Football, personal grudges should be left out completely.

Conclusion: This team is great but can not withstand the passing of Spain nor the ruthlessness of Uruguay so I do not see Nigeria making it out of that group.

abiodunbest: the super eagle team may have enough quality to stand toe to toe against their opposition as you truely said but not onto their boss (Uruguay and Spain).

supaeagles:
i may have to visit your ghana village to understand this your logic oh

damosky12:
English could be a problem to Naija's sometimes (no offence). Wetin be Uruguay and Spain if them no be opposition too?

cman77: The nigerian squad is nt ok o!dis is confed cup wher d likes of spain,brazil will feature nd nt nations cup.don't forget dat d standard of african futball is still low compared european futball.4 me ideye shud nt b on dat list.he is below average.we nid above average players.he hasn't impressed 4rm d nations cup till nw.he wastes chances a lot.we don't nid such.d defence is d best we have nw but yobo shud have bin der cos of xprience.don't forget at d nations cup nigeria nomally concede late goals but wen keshi started bringin yobo in towards d end of each game we stoppd concedin late goals.d defence can't hold on to pressure 4 long.

Dammiesugar: Hw abt dis kid ezekiel imoh or somtin lyk dat?4 cryin out loud,whr is ekigho ehiosun sef,stephen sunday,sone aluko,lukman haruna,apam,mannaseh ishiaku,adeleye,rabiu afolabi?r dey dead?

Jarus: The 2 most critical missing players are Moses and Emenike.

I also think IK Uche would have been an option forward. His skills can be useful in breaking tough defences.

I also fear for that defence. I'm fine with the regular 4: Echiejile, Oboabona, Omeruo and Ambrose. But the problem is the other guys are unproven at such big level and what happens if any of those 4 picks an injury? Juwon Oshaniwa should have been considered. Or even Yobo.

Soso990240: what ar u sayin? D late goal we conceded against bokinafaso who caused it? And dnt say ideye is nt suppose 2 be ther,the guy assists like a world class player(dnt 4get our 1st 2013 nations cup goal,he did it).am seein what keshi saw in dat boy dat he cant let go.

I tell you. Spain, Tahiti and Uruguay go hear am

Loadedtech:
hear what??! Have you seen the Spanish Squads Casillas,Arbeloa,Pique,Ramos,Alonso,Xavi,Pedro,Villa,Iniesta,Fabregas,Soldado u'r here talking twash!

oluwaoghene:
Out-of-favour Spain striker Fernando Torres has been named in his country's provisional Confederations Cup squad.

The Chelsea striker, 29, who won the Europa League with the London club this season, had failed to make Spain coach Vicente del Bosque's recent squads.

Eight other English-based players have been selected, with the 26-strong party being reduced to 23 before the start of the tournament in Brazil on 15 June.

Barcelona's Carles Puyol and Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo miss out.

Real Madrid goalkeeper and Spain captain Iker Casillas also returns, having broken a finger in January, while midfielder Javi Martinez's superb form for Bayern Munich - who won the Bundesliga title and Champions League - earns him a comeback.

"When Torres and Martinez didn't come in before, it was because we didn't think the moment was right. Now it is the opposite - they are both in good form," said Del Bosque.

He added: "It's almost impossible to have every player who merited a place. (Cesc) Fabregas, (David) Villa, Torres and Soldado are our four strikers. You could just as easily ask why we didn't include (Imanol) Agirretxe, Iago Aspas, Michu.

"We can't bring in everybody. We've deemed it fit to call up Soldado because he's had a great season.

"We've called up those players who are going to help us have the best tournament."
The world and European champions have two friendlies in the United States - against Haiti in Miami on 8 June and Ireland in New York three days later - before heading to Brazil.

Spain's first game in the Confederations Cup is in Recife on 16 June against 2011 Copa America winners Uruguay, with Tahiti and Nigeria also in Group B.

The eight-nation warm-up event for next year's World Cup runs until 30 June.

Goalkeepers:Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Jose Reina (Liverpool), Victor Valdes (Barcelona).

Defenders:Jordi Alba (Barcelona), Raul Albiol (Real Madrid), Alvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid), Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Nacho Monreal (Arsenal), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid).

Midfielders: Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Benat Etxebarria (Real Betis), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal), Cesc Fabregas (Barcelona), Javi Garcia (Manchester City), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona), Javi Martinez (Bayern Munich), Juan Mata (Chelsea), Jesus Navas (Sevilla), Pedro (Barcelona), David Silva (Manchester City) Xavi (Barcelona).

Forwards: Fernando Torres (Chelsea), Roberto Soldado (Valencia), David Villa (Barcelona).

Jarus:

Na wa o. Spain and their midfielders. See number of midfielders.

Anyway, I'm not afraid. They are not different from the Catalunya this team drew with last year. Most of their guys played for Catalunya
