Is nt Kanu in a better shape than Yobo,Shitu,and Utaka John?

If Kanu's going let Yakubu go too.

Not only Kanu, but Segun Odegbami, Rashidi Yekini, Sunday Oliseh and Okocha JJ. They can alll share their experience at the world cup!
Nonsense!! At what age did kanu start playing football? If assholes like him don't retire then i wonder when the likes of Rabiu Ibrahim, Macurlay Christantus and Sani Emmanuel will don the National Jersey. The guy is a selfish and has no self respect.

With or without him we are losing all our group matches WE ARE GOING TO BE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF AFRICA!!! All thanks to corruption.

The problem with us in Africa is we don't know how to quit when the ovation is still loud, If Kanu was a Brazilian, an Argentine or a Spaniard will we in the world cup, He has done his bit, for this we are all very grateful, now is the time to leave the stage.

@12large am vry sure u don't know hw to raise not to talk of playing d round leather game.football is a team game if d other 10 on d field played well King Kanu would have deliver for d National team.get that into ur soogyhead lol.

w.t.f??, even the dumbest coach knows that experience counts in a team.kanu can provide that, he just needs to be there and after the world cup,we could talk about his retirement,

@9jauk
u are a skunk. come out of the bush and experience the old invention called TV.
kanu never played for the most part of the torunament.
monkey.

@admin please note that this 'olodo' insulted me first. i have to respond o!

Yes and No. Yes he should make the list only to Ginger the other players swagger. and No as a player.

whether as a player or as an ambassador, abeg he shud be in south africa 2010.

YES. Kanu wants to quit active football after this World Cup. For that reason, he should be allowed to fulfil that dream. He has paid his dues for this country. Lets just grant him that honour.

NO,he should give the younger ones chance to shine

this not issue

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!Kanu's tricks are over since the age grade competition, if you guys desperately need Kanu to perform or motivate Nigeria players send him to Coach Siasia,he can join his(Siasia) team, His experience, expertise and talents are too minute for the Super eagles, and today's football!!!!!!!!!!!Let him shine and retire with the flying eagles!!

no!

Do you people want to kill kanu for his family? you guys no like kanu at all. Do you people not know that bone injury after the age of 40 will never heal?. Let kanu go to South Africa as part of the technical crew and not a player. We cannot afford to take a player who can play only 20mins of active football.

Zidane retired from international football at the height of his football career for god sake. Even ronaldinho that is still playing very well in a bigger team than kanu is not going to the world cup.

His experience is needed where? on the bench or on the field?. And if it is on the field, how many mins will he be able to provide that experience in a game of 90 + mins?.

We are talking about the World cup here, not nations cup. You will be playing against a very fit Argentinian team and a Korean team that can run non stop for over 120mins.

femmy2010:

Maybe if an experienced OLD MAN Roger milla was not taken to Italia 90 maybe Camry would not have been placed on the map of world soccer.

You cannot compare Roger Milla to Kanu on so many fronts, first Milla was an out and out striker, so his job was mainly to finish the work done by the midfielders. He almost never crosses the half way mark. Kanu on the other hand is more of a midfielder, he is expected to run the whole length of the midfield, which requires much more stamina.

Then, Milla was able to score 4 goals at Italia 90, but when he was brought back again in USA 94, the Cameroonian team was playing short one, there were beaten mercilessly.

femmy2010:

Take a pick Young Ayegbeni and an Old Kanu?

Non of the above, both are too old to withstand the rigours of a world cup game for 90 mins.

kANU SERVE AS CAPTAIN AND I THINK FOR THE EXPERIENCE, HE SHOULD MAKE THE LIST, BUT FOR THE PHISICALLY FIT, OOOOHHHHHH, EGBON TI DAGBA, RETIREMENT

KANU ALREADY MADE THE TEAM. SO TOPIC LOCKED

for his achievements, he should be allowed.
it's not as if we're going there to win anything, so ??

yes kanu should probably make the team.

@wirinet am sure u don't know our to play football, football nowadays is not about running d whole field but what u can do with ball.my dear case closed we won, King kanu is playin at 2010 world cup.

femmy2010:

Correction: Fat Ayegbeni vs Old and sluggish Kanu (Mr noodles)

Iam sorry, but it is you that lacks a basic understanding of modern football. Modern football discourages straitjacket compartmentalization of players into positions, especially in the midfield. Modern football requires physical fitness , - ask morihno, Wenger or Ferguson, who impose very strick physical and dietary regime on their players.

Kanu had not been very fit since after his arsenal days, and had had an outstanding performance since then.

Exactly, he's achieved so much.
