you said it perfectly well! The level of confidence nigerians had prior to that game against Denmark was insane. I can even remember that match well enough, my mom came into the parlour when the match was about to start and was like 'who are we playing today?', even before my junior bro could finish pronouncing Denmark she said 'mtchw, I will only watch the game against Brazil'. She totally rubbished Denmark, what happened then I'd never know I swear, since then she doesn't watch our games anymore, sad sad story

My Dad also stopped following the Super Eagles after that game.

Nigeria played 4 4 2, then so i doubt Mikel will displace Oliseh or Okocha. Victor Moses in his current form will possibly have a starting shirt on one of the wings.

Ikeme and Enyeama will replace the France '98 Rufai.

Who Moses for displace? Finidi or Babangida?

And by the way, I am a big Victor Moses fan but I don't think that he could've benched either Finidi George or Emmanuel Amuneke in the 1994 Super Eagles team. And he can't bench Daniel Amokachie either.

Oya compare:

Okocha vs Mikel

Finidi vs Moses.

grin

Enyeama is not in this current crop na.
Left to me, I will take Moses over Finito. But against Spain, I can accommodate the two of them. I will just take out Garba Lawal or Mutiu Adepoju.

Mikel will replace Oliseh not Okocha.

Mikel replace Oliseh?

In the current set up it is Onazi vs Oliseh and Mikel vs Okocha.

Are you for real

Listen, as a coach, Sunday Oliseh is clueless. But as a player, Oliseh at his best is world class. Definitely one of the best DMs in the world at that time. In those days, the Super Eagles always struggle each time Oliseh is having an off day. In fact, one reason why we got trashed by Demark in the '98 world cup was because Oliseh was MIA in that game. That's how influential he is to our game.

O pari
Nigeria's greatest ever players, Mikel is in top 3. Oliseh is not in top 7. That says alot.

he absolutely did not. Finidi had everything, from speed to making the right decision to tracking back perfectly well. You can't be rated higher than Figo then if you aren't outstanding. I can't even believe this, or na Babaginda he go bench? The guy was a speed demon, you think Moses knows how to run at defenders? Watch Babangida, the guy's speed and build will even make you fall down when he is coming

Garba lawal was more of a utility player, that's a bench piece more or less. Let me ask you sincerely, what do you know about Finidi George?

Of course I did. I'm telling you that I'm taking this rejuvenated Moses over Finidi. This Moses is a machine. That performance against Man City is beyond incredible.

And like I said, I can use both of them in our matches.

I also watched Mikel in his greatest matches, including a most world-class man of the match performance in the Champions league final. I will take Mikel over Oliseh.

Oliseh was in the Borrusia team that wrestled the Bundesliga from Bayern twice! Do you think an outsider winning the bundesliga is easy? This isn't the champions league where you play one match in two months, he consistently maintained the same performance for an entire season!

thank you, top 10 not top3.

If I were to choose the best players from the two generations under review, it would be Okocha, Kanu, Enyeama, Finidi, OLISEH, Moses, Mikel, Babayaro and Okechukwu. Mind you, I mean if I were to choose them when they are in top form, I mean their possible best conditions, I am not considering what they have achieved or their longetivity just who has the best abilities in top form.

Bros, no start with the lies na. Oliseh won the league only once with Dortmund. 2001-2002.

So by your submission, Vardy is better than Aguero because he won the EPL last year as top scorer?

You never saw Mikel churn out consistent performances over the years at Chelsea? Plays very well as a DM for Chelsea, and between the months plays as AM for the Eagles. E easy?

A list that does not have Yekini is not a credible list. Yours is a laughable list. Cele where Yekini does not feature?

1. Kanu
2. Okocha
3. Mikel

That's Eagles top 3. You obviously underestimate the impact and influence of Mikel in his generation in the Super Eagles. Mikel is the most decorated Nigerian player (behind Kanu?)

Do u know Finidi was among the earliest wingers that re-invented wing play?

Dp u know Finidi was at a pt described as the best Right winger in the world even though a player like Luis Figo also existed?

The only winger in the Super Eagles pf today that plays something that looks like Finidi's Alex Iwobi.

Victor Moses for Finidi ke?

Do you know Victor Moses is regarded as the best wingback in the world today? I will take a player who can defend, dribble, cross and score goals. He can player the midfield, defense and attack.

My mistake, I didn't 'browse' it so it came straight off my head. But do you think it was easy? How many league titles has Chelsea won with Mikel as the starting DMF?! Bros, DMF is different from forward please, that comparison is absurd. Kante is obviously better than Matic, Essien and a host of other players who have won the champions league as regulars, how many league titles has he won? Just one! To show you the essential nature of a DMF. You might not win a game if your striker does not show up, but once your DMF is in the game you cannot lose

Finidi was up there for almost a decade!

Babangida is a mere upgraded Pius Ikedia. Take ball, run with it with the head looking at the ground to the corner flag, and cross hoping for the best.

Ok, you didn't watch Babangida well enough. Wait sef, against Tanzania what was Moses doing? Exactly what you just explained now! Take the ball, focus your face on the ground and run to wherever you want with it. Like Icon4s mentioned, let him be consistent enough

Personally, this is the most absurd thing I've heard today. Yekini will not make a combined two world cup team. Oga, Yekini will make the first eleven of Nigeria from 1960 to 2016. Don't let people hear this football heresy abeg.

Victor Moses' best game for Nigeria ever was against Algeria in Uyo. He has largely.been disappointing in his entire career.

Go watch Nig-Gha 2000 & see Babangida in action. Even France '98.
