You know something, I was ruminating over the potential capability of our present senior national team, the Super Eagles and I believe that they could prove to be our most potent attempt at playing in a world cup final.

I say this with a caveat, because we all know that when it comes to Nigeria, all things does not always work out the way we expect them to be. Blame it on politics, blame it on sports administration. The present crop happens to be one of the most talented and we are fortunate at this time to have younger internationals excelling at age grade tournaments.

Its a good wave for Nigeria at the moment in the men's game, we have a generation of up coming players who have played at the highest level in international age grade competitions, the U17 is in our kitty, and Siasia's lads gallantly lost the gold to an Argentinian team that really didn't dominate the olympic gold medal for the football event.

Add these to the fact that some of our senior players have the experience and are mostly involved in machinations of the top European clubs. We are very much aware of the pedigree of the Yobo's and the Uche's. Mikel is beginning to come to his own and erratic as Taiwo has been stereotyped, his performances for Marseille has made him sort of indispensable to his French team.

There are countless others who continue to churn out laudable performances in the leagues of Europe and the continents and even Amodu has confirmed that he has at least two to three players per role. Even a few talented home based prove their way into training camps.

Yakubu's incident is unfortunate and his consistency as a striker could be sorely missed in the build up to the African championship, but it might be the opportunity that other players need to compete for shirts, all contributing to the competitiveness for places in the team.

The nations cup is just about a year away and the world comes to Africa soon after. History beckons on this present crop of players and a serious management of sports in general to sail through.

Just looking through the list above and I shake my hear,and tears are about to fall off my face.
Why?
Because it looks like I'll never,ever,ever see another team for the Super Eagles like that again.

It is a shame.

The USA '94 team is the best for me

The 2004 Eagles are the best and the cos they conquered Africa and did what they did in USA , it was wonderful

Thanks for identifying the guy's gaffe jare. That was how somebody was also telling me Zola and Mutu played together in Chelsea!!!
I'm not very versed in football analysis, started watching FB less than 15 years ago, but I recognize 'quack' analysts

didn't zola and mutu play together. i thought zola had one season in the abramovich era.

Results matter,so i'll give it 2 the 94squad.i also admire our 2000 & 2002 squad.

1994 SUPER EAGLES TEAM (TUNISIA 94 & USA 94) IS THE BEST TEAM THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER PRODUCED.
