U can't compare yekini wif yakubu in all ramifications.agreed yakubu was a fantastic striker in europe but hw well has he fared in natl duty.hw many goals did he score for SE durin his tyme.[/b]d last world cup is a pointer to dis.don't have anytin against him but he jst has badluk anytyme he plays 4 d eagles,to d extent dat 1 of his chances at d last world cup was described as d worst miss ever 4 a striker in d hist of d world cup.I still maintain my stand dat ideye is nt a striker,moreso d ukrainian league u talked abt is nt one of d top leagues in europe.no room 4 sentiments pls,u can't have like 5 goal scorin chances nd miss all nd u kal ursef a striker nd u want to score against world best spain.ideye is d odd one out.

bin gbagbo:

yes, world-class players in Ghana (Michael Essien(chelsea), kevin prince boateng(AC MILAN), Andre ayew(Marseille), Kwadwo Asamoah(Juventus), Christian Atsu,(Porto) Emmanuel Frimpong(Arsenal), Jordan Ayew(Marseille), John Boye(Rennes), Asamoah Gyan(Al Ain) etc...these are quality players who play regularly for their european outfits....please can you list your crap nigeria players? i mean those enugu rangers players? then on the AFCON brag, i hope you know Ghana has won the AFCON on 4 different occasions and won it for keeps in 1978? .......lol

Jarus:


How many time do you want me to tell you that YAKUBU IS NIGERIA'S ALL-TIME 3RD HIGHEST SCORER? I mean, for Super Eagles, since Nigeria started football in 1950's, only two strikers (Yekinni and Odegbami) have scored more goals for Nigeria than Yakubu.


Yakubu has scored 21 goals for Nigeria.

If you don't watch football, keep quiet.

gentlegg: The first time i saw this match advert on DSTV, I thought they meant Haiti. I never heard of Tahiti before.

FilesUpdator: Team News:

NIGERIA—Enyeama; Ambrose, Omeruo, Oboabona, Echiejile; Mba, Mikel, Ogude; Musa, Ideye, Oduamadi.

SuyaEater: Anything less than a 10-0 victory is a disgrace to african football

FilesUpdator: Team News:
TAHITI—Roche; Simon, Ludivion, Caroine, Faatiarau, Vero; Bourebare, Tehau, Chong-Hue, Vahirua; Tehau.

NIGERIA—Enyeama; Ambrose, Omeruo, Oboabona, Echiejile; Mba, Mikel, Ogude; Musa, Ideye, Oduamadi.

nigeria is playing a 4-3-3 versus tahiti's 5-4-1? seems alright as long as we don't let them counter attack cos that will be a big weakness if we let it happen

i don't see why we wouldn't use a 4-2-3-1? it's the most balanced formation so that mikel and maybe ogude can sit in front of the defence and intercept passes/distribute the ball. then we need a pacy/skillful Central Attacking Midfielder (maybe mba can fill that void?) if onazi wasnt injured he would be our CAM.

this is the starting 11 i would like to see with 4-2-3-1
..............Enyeama...............
Ambrose, Omeruo, Oboabona, Echiejile
.........Mikel.....Ogude(/Mba)......
Musa.......Onazi(/Mba)......Oduamadi


...............Ideye................

Jarus:
5-4-1

5 defenders

Bus don arrive already. Parking bus.

I see a tough, frustrating match for SE.

Andre Uweh:


Onazi is injured and will not play a part in this tournament

luvable sam: This is going to be Nigeria's first match in this years Confederations Cup,a preamble tournament to the world cup that comes up in june 2014.

Goodluck Guys

Hope Nigeria Wins the tournament!

Afam4eva:
Coupled with the fact that our strikers are not soo...this may be a tough game for us.

cman77: @jarus & daz york.I agree wif u guys concernin yakubu,was a good striker nd 3rd highest goal scorer afta odegbami nd yekini,but at southafrica 2010,if u r objective in ur analysis u will agree wif me dat he was a complete failure,he underperformed nd thus ruined naija's chances. Den daz york dat ukrainian league u talked abt brazil invitin der players 4rm,did u watch brazil against japan? Well,de won 3-0 against a 'not good' blue samurai,can u compare dis present brazilian team with d golden days of rivaldo,roberto carlos,ronaldo? Do u tink if brazil meets a tough opposition like spain de can win? Or will de go far,dat brazillian team is nt so good.even neymar is overrrated,I watched him play.yes brazil wallopd england in d friendlies recently but england nw accordin to redknap recently,don't knw hw to play futbol.our SE can do well against dis present samba boys.well,let's watch.I rest my case.

Jarus: By the time Spain meet Nigeria, they will be on 6 points and may parade second team, just to test other players. I believe Nigeria can squeeze a draw with Spain. Let's just get minimum of 4 points from Tahiti and Uruguay.

finebadtboy: O boy we don reach page 8 already and match never start . Okay make I grab my seat first now because small time this stadium go full

emmke: spain playing their second team might not really be the blessing in disguise u think. Remember, we are talking about the likes of cesc, cazorla, mata. These guys will give their all just to make a prove to del bosque that they deserve a shot in the first team.

emiye: By my calculation,they will be joined by this other 9 teams
Ethiopia, Tunisia, Ghana, Congo, Nigeria, Egypt,Algeria, Cameroon, Senegal.

Nigeria, Ghana, Cote d'ivoire, Tunisia and Algeria will be seeded .

Unseeded will be Cameroon, Congo, Ethiopia, Egypt and senegal, One of these five will be Nigeria's hurdle to Brazil 2014 world cup.
Why will ghana and algeria be seeded and for your info libya is qualifying from the group

rayedge: How is the cup ours when NFA cannot pay match bonus, let alone their flight ticket.
