with all d yrs of xperience playing quality football worldwide and getting well paid, its a shame it always have 2 come 2 dis for naija - maybe we should start looking into other sports and forget soccer (e.g. - racing) |

THE BOY TRY. AND I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BE A LIABILITY ASSUMING OSAZE HAD PASSED THAT BALL TO HIM ONE TIME RATHER THAN GO FOR THE RED CARD IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. Exactly! That was the first thing I said too when I saw the highlights. The other guy was wide open all by himself. |

Super(?) Eagles, Patriotism & Miracle seekers =============================== I find our comments about the Eagle's failure very surprising but not unusual, rather typical Naija. 1. SUPER Eagles - The super is just like when we refer to our country as the Giant of Africa, even though we are only giant in population that has not translated into socio-economic benefits. Did we not perform consitently better when we were plain GREEN Eagles Nowadays, we are too engrossed in unjustified self-aggrandisement both at the personal and collective levels. 2. PATRIOTISM - It seems patriotism is only meant for the "labourers" or ordinary citizens not for those who break the laws & loot the treasury blind and by so doing encourage others including football administrators to do likewise. Na everybody dey smart, abi no be so Why should the players perform impressively and play their hearts out if their welfare is not adequately catered for or guaranteed despite the billions allocated to sports? When was the last time our country featured on any top medal list in a global athletic event? 3. MIRACLE - I guess we were expecting that we will again "wobble & fumble" through to winning the cup, especially after defeating our tiny neighbours, Benin that fielded a number of Nigeria-born players. Well our exit just shows that work & pray is what wins the race NOT pray only. Hopefully we will, individually, reflect on our sordid societal situation that manifests in all aspects of our national life and take small steps of positive change |

am still amazed as to why people are not saying anything about the level of play of most of our players.dont you think that if a Maurinho were to be the coach of Nigeria with Taiye Taiwo on the left full back position and misfit Nwaneri as the right full back and a bunck of 23 players without a playmaker,what would have happened?i am not totally absolving vogts of the blames,but dont you think the present crop of players we have can only give out what they have in terms of their creativity and skills(talent).i mean you cant compare Eguaveon's or Ben Iroha's or Celestine Babayaro's creativity with either Taiwo's or Nwaneri's.Although one or two of them have been outstanding(Shittu & Osaze).my beleif is that first,we need a trainer/coach/technical adviser or whatever they call they call them to help us discover real talents that can wear our national colours and until then we can start talking of commitment and tactical approach to matches.That lies the present strenght of Cote d'ivoire. I seriously beleive we cant have that kind of team to represent us in 2010,because it is usually a long process.remember it took Westerhoff 4 years to acheive that.so Nigerians should never think a fire brigade approach will bring out the desired result lset we willalways rely on mother luck every time. |

Are we still whining over this football match? i thought we had got over the whole thing. Let's try and see things in another light o!!! If Ghana had lost dont you know they'd have shown 9ja people there pepper? They for show them say canda na meat khaki na leather. Who said Nigeria is finished? This is only a game.It will not put more money in our pockets neither will they reduce the heavy tax that has been deducted from my salary. So let's stop crying over spilled milk. Ghana has spent hard currency that is hard to come by,so let them win okay. Who suggested that they should leave nairaland for us? That one is not possible o! even if you send them away with koboko,they'll never leave us.It's more like they can never do without us. Without 9jas their lives are incomplete. So people cheer up okay, it's not the end of the world. |
