Hmmmm.....Pity no Home based players on the team.I have actually given up on Nigeria soccer especailly at the Senior level.I hope the team surprises us by WINNING the cup.Nothing else will suffice or redeem the Super Eagles for me! I cant forgive them for not qualifying for the world cup. But from all indications-NOTHING seems to have changed in the preparation. Do we really need an NFA?!

I think Christian Obodo is a Defensive Midfielder. With respect to our strikers, I hope to see the Italian trio and the french duo show their class. However, the number of strikers may cause discord in the team particularly because strikers are the most envious persons in soccer.

question; Is kanu more of a striker than a Midfielder.

Thanks spikelord.
