Akolawole: 1.)Haba,Akola, that is so mean!Go and watch the matches again, Amo set up Yekini so many times.They were friends.Remember rumours have it that Siasia lost his place in the Eagles,because he had some 'issues' with Yekini and didnt pass to him for an all important goal at Abidjan in the WC qualifier against Cote d'Ivore.Woulda been stupid for Amo to toe the same line 2.)Haba, It's blasphemous mentioning Amo14,Garba Lawal and Utaka in the same sentence .Garba Lawal was a hardworker no doubt and always made the team because of his discipline and more importantly, the dearth of left sided players in the national team.We played with wide men until maybe 2 years ago,If we switch to a 4-4-2, Lawal may return .Seriously, Amo did not run like a headless chicken.He had skills(watch the Greece goal and the goal against the Argies at the Olympics)Vision(his 'no look' pass to Ikpeba for our 2nd goal against Brazil).We are still trying to replace him in the S-Eagles set up 3.)Akola,Keshi was at the ill-fated trip to Libya in 1982, when along with Chukwu,Odegbami,Owolabi and co, we were bundled out in the 1st round.Onigbinde rebuilt in 1984 and had just a few members of that team,The Eagles were wobbly until 1988 when Manfred Hoener arrived, we got silver in 1988 nations cup and it was around that time that Keshi became a big 'Boss' in Belgium where he was one of the biggest african exports in europe.As captain of the national team, he became the chief caponne and the era of mafioso entered the eagles. 4.)Thanks, at least we agreed on one item 5.)Yep, that's the story of football, you have one moment, one chance, use it well and a star is born, mess up and you are labelled a flop.Remember, Oliseh played just one match for the eagles against Ethopia. . . and he became 1st choice.The debate used to be 'who is better',friday ekpo or austin Okocha,One magical display in the summer of 1993 against Algeria in Surulere put that debate to rest.Amokachi seized the moment and the rest is history |

HNIC: 1. Amokachi worked tirelessly for the Eagles and Yekini until Nigeria got to the WC. After Yekini got the Nike $1 million dollar endorsement for the WC in 1994 (Nike picked one player from each team) Amokachi and Amuneke stopped playing for Yekini and started playing for themselves. Yekini did not get service at USA 94; instead Amuneke and Amokachi preferred to play selfishly. 5. Not against the point you are making but Okocha was still Ekpo's sub until after the WC. He didn't start until the semi-finals in Tunisia (only got 25 minutes against Egypt in the group stages). He was also used sparingly in the WC. |

Katsumoto:1.)I don't wanna argue the 1st point with you because time and time again, the memebers of this squad have denied that claim of isolating Yekini. 2.)He was nursing an injury at the WC and also remember, he played very few matches at the Nations Cup and yet he was chosen in the best 11 in the competition |

Jay jay Okocha is. No replacement has been found for him. Osaze Odemwingie is good too. Just manage to send the ball forward and Osaze will be there to receive and shoot. |

Okocha |

I'd go for Kanu. Okocha never won anything as a player, and never led us to any victory, despite his immense ball skills. |
