Countdown to the showdown!!! Nigeria takes on Egypt at the 2010 Nations Cup. Arguably the 'nearly-men' of African football, Nigeria have won the Africa Cup of Nations on two occasions, but have been runners up a further four times. In fact, they have been semifinalists 12 times, and their two victories signify an extremely poor conversion rate from there. They first appeared in the tournament in 1963, when they bowed out in the first round, before having to wait until 1976 for their next showing, this time reaching the last four. There followed a prosperous time in the country's football as they claimed the title in 1980 and 1994, finishing runners-up on three more occasions in between. They chose not to particpate in the 1996 event in South Africa for political reasons, and were subsequently suspended from the 1998 tournament too. Since then they have finished as runners-up (2000), semifinalists (2002, 2004, 2006) and quarterfinalists (2008), a worrying backward trend for the Super Eagles. Can the Super Eagles make history? This will be a cracker!  |

Thats definitely going to be a tough one. . . We might be able to pull a draw or win narrowly cos we're no match for Egypt. |

Why are Nigerians always working so hard and just let a whiteman come and collect the glory. Its not fair you know.  I hate to hear people talk about foreign coaches when they don't even know how we qualified and who made it happen.  To crown it all we do't even respect our boys. We should allow Amodu to continue with those boys and I bet you Nigeria will disgrace Egypt. This is because he has been with the boys for some time now. |

Well as for Nigeria Vs Egypt match, Nigeria will carry the day, all things be equal. |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by jude33084(m): 9:25pm On Dec 05, 2009 |
If you look at this match very closely, you will find out that Nigeria is always giving the Faroes problem. The kind of game we play frustrate tem alot. Nigeria will top the group with 7 points |

Can we please get a Westerhof/Siasia combo if we plan to win anything? |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by FBS: 10:05pm On Dec 05, 2009 |
Wester-who? Amodu/Siasia combo should do just fine. |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by alex406(m): 10:19pm On Dec 05, 2009 |
why cant we just focus on what we have not until we loose it.Why would some suggest westerhof as our coach.I wonder when we will start appreciating our indigenous endowment. |

jude33084: alex406: Listen to the "Parable of England",they tried to be patriotic like you, The rest is history. Amodu lost his mojo,he was good in his first stint with the team but he's just clueless now.We need someone who can detect good and hungry players,not Amodu's wasted legs,he'll make Maradona look like a technical genius when we meet Argentina but i'm sure he'll be sacked after the nation's cup. |

I will predict when NFF hires a technical adviser |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by mamagee3(f): 12:28am On Dec 06, 2009 |
Nigeria is set to kick their butts off to Egypt. |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by vislabraye(m): 12:54am On Dec 06, 2009 |
jude33084: Your argument is baseless. Why are Nigerians so sentimental? They want to manage mediocrity in the name of being patriotic. In case you don't know, it's a foreign coach handling the national team of almighty ENGLAND, the origin of football. You can't even compare the quality of English coaches to what we have in Africa, but they decided to employ a FOREIGN coach. And he's even the highest earning national team coach and the third highest paid coach in the world. What can you say to that? NFF/ NFA know the right thing to do, but did not do it. It's now they are thinking of hire a National team coach when they should have done it long before now. Amodu is not a bad coach, he might be the best hand in Nigeria. This goes to show you that we should hire a foreign coach, I have digressed from the main topic. I believe we can handle Egypt, but it's not going to be any easy task. North African teams have been troubling us ( apart from the Amokachi/ Finidi generation ). We need to find a formula to handle them. |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by Nobody: 5:46am On Dec 06, 2009 |
FBS: Yeah, even the best coach of this world do not win matches everyday. What did the white coach we recruited last did for us at the Nations Cup? scre.wed us::: An interview with John Fashanu on CNN: He said the NFF should give Amodu the chance to coach our Super Eagles, with time he will improve also he has taken us to the world cup twice and he is one of the best coach we had. Anti-Amodu should go and sleep |

| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by hoodboy(m): 9:43am On Dec 06, 2009 |
All of you people screaming for foreign coach, Have u ever thought of the number of foreign coaches at the african Cup of nations, and yet the last two cups was won by an indigenous coach, you guys can all take a chill pill, hard work demands reward, Amodu got us there, He should take us there. |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by kayality: 11:07am On Dec 06, 2009 |
emiwanlee: Good one |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by princekevo(m): 11:41am On Dec 06, 2009 |
With Amodu and this same team, i jst voted them draw against Egypt. That is mostly the best Amodu has coached them. I hope they dont disappoint me at last. |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by annyplenty(m): 1:21pm On Dec 06, 2009 |
surveyProf: but with Nigeria all things are not always equal. |
| Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by yousouph(m): 1:26pm On Dec 06, 2009 |
At least, let see how Amodu will do at AFCON. @topic- draw aint bad considering our present form and appalling defence |

We need a Coach who WATCH Nigerian Players ABROAD week-in week-out & one that UNDERSTANDS THEIR POSITIONS: 1. Mikel is a WORLD CLASS DM [Give that Number 10 to Rabiu or Someone else] 2. Kalu Uche is not a Midfielder in Almeria [but a POWERFUL Support Striker] 3. Joseph Yobo is a JOKE. 4. Chinedu Obasi hasn't FOUND HIS FORM yet. 5. Taiye Taiwo would be a better 11 than the ERATIC Number 3 he currently is. 5. Utaka & Kanu[with all due respect] are no more FOOTBALLERS. [size=13pt] We could be 1st or 4th depending on these things[/size] |
