For Nigeria to be serious contenders I feel we need to do a few things.

We were very good in the confederations cup, and I feel we will be able to compete realistically up to the quarter finals.

However, we must do a few things:

1) Drop Ideye Brown; he adds nothing. Bring in someone like Macauley Chrisantus - I even like Uche when he plays can be effective.
2) Find one attacking midfielder that can support Mikel effectively so he isn't doing both attacking and defending continually (see him against Spain) - Maybe Lukman Haruna

I would like to hear others thoughts on what needs to be done.

Another one; Do not include playwes like Gambo into the team.

Our defence also needs strengthening where is Apam, Adeleye and they should be allowed to come and compete for a place in the team.

In the midfield: Joel Obi and Lukman Haruna should be injected to beef up the midfield and may be Osaze, Ike Uche, Uche Kalu and Anichebe should be considered to battle for a place in the team. This is simply what the team needs to become world class.
