timmy: How many local lads did keshi win the afcon with biko. This is getting so irritating... We only saw Mba and Oboabona, and I stand to be corrected, those guys only played well in the midst of the pros. As much as we like to enjoy our afcon victory, we should not forget how shambolic we played in the group stages. As a mater of known fact, the FA took over governing from keshi during the next round, threw the camp opened to lots of people, Kanu, jayjay, amodu , even aki and pawpaw (lolz). But my point is, there was a disbelieve in keshi, which sprung his resignation immediately after afcon.

Back to the argument on keshi's prowess. If we're going to argue the westerhof's 4yrs, why didnt we simply leave siasia, why should keshi get the grace time and not siasia? After all siasia did not loose any match (even to argentina over two legs 5-4). Keshi has lost how many now? 1,2,3,4,5,6... Keshi started the worldcup qualifying rounds and now is struggling to qualify, having to score late goals over teams he should have buried. Next thing i will here is, "no more minnows in football" Thank goodness we have met tahiti. SUnda Mba keeps making this team, even when its obvious he's out of form.

Keshi to me flopped when he decided to desove the team that rightfully won the confed cup ticket and decided to go with some much of know names, all in the name of exposure. Do you know there are more chances of killing those lads ego that giving them experience. Now Ideye is facing slanders from Nigerians, same and gambo and the lots. he should have just gone with 2 or 3 max 4.
When he knows there a chan right after confed, there the home-lads can get the experience.

Gambo to Xavi or torress or Neima.. Lets forget exposure, do we know football is a business? how can we get quality friendly matches with big footballing countries if this is what we can showcase?

Dear Keshi, energy is not all that plays football, yes ur players can run, do they have the brain to know what to do after running. Keshi went with players that scored just 1 goal and conceded 5, a continents champion, ahead of countries with players like drogba, yaya, keita, eto, the pele brothers, its a shame on the whole continent, that a team like ours beat CIV, Mali and Ghana to the afcon tittle.

Im just simply pissed. All these years, our local lads still play kick and follow, even ahmed musa is still to polish that. A good coach should search out mercurial players.
Siasia, introduced us to the likes of MIkel, Ogbuke, Nsofor, Anichebe, Emenike, Moses (yes siasia did), Odion Ighalo, Oduamadi (yes siasia did, he allowed eguavon use him for olympic qualifiers), obiora nwankwo, joel obi, Nosa Ighebor etc.

Keshi is trying hard to do the same, but sunday mba isnt that gifted. Just and average player (abi why e never enter europe?). I might sound so pro-siasia, yes we didnt qualify for afcon 2012, but the fault was largely the FA and the Media team for passing wrong info on the amount of goals needed, same this affected SA.

Naso he go carry dem yakubu, etuhu, keita come, just to kiss ass. When dey failed him, he dumped them for local lads, now where is the vision.?

PS, pardon my typos, was too in a hurry to lashout my venom.

football goes beyoud talent discovery. what of the management of the discovered talents? Siasia failed woefully. Where has keshi gotten it wrong that he should go. Mai-Garri(The man from Garri) and co are the problem with the team. If I were Keshi I would rather resign than introduce Odewingie into my team. That guy has lost it. He is just a camp builder than a team player. He might not even play in Englan again.

bigwallace: Am surprised wt d way some pple here re critisin maigari cos of his comment,d man is right keshi took d wrong players to d confed cup,a team dt has no bench or ow else can we explain d strikers performance players lik ujah,akpala who only plays 2minutes for his club,micheal babatunde who is. Bench warmer for his club in ukraine,emeka eze,gambo mohamed dis re untested players nd sincerely keshi should av done beta wt his selections.so I totally agree wt maigari on dis matter!

thegoodjoehunt: Please Mr Maigari. What is the website of the NFF?

Hrdesk09: Seriously,I tink there is an atom of sense in what d man said...Some players had no business being @ d tournament...All d countries @ dat tournament went with their best legs,except Nigeria...U dont go experimenting in such a big stage..People shud nt 4get dat d team was nt representing Nigeria alone,but d whole of Africa....Atimes,when u give these coaches too much freedom,they tend to go too personal about d selection of d national teams and dat usually cost Nigerians a whole lot,,,Nigeria did nt qualify for d 1st time in more dan 20yrs for d 2012 afcon because of Siasiaz stubborness nd arrogance...Naturally,the stricking force has always been d Nigeria greatest strenght....Nigeria could nt beat uruguay and spain coz our so called strikers were wasteful in front of goal..

omigin: I think Keshi should be given maximum power to handle his team. But, is a bit too early to do away with some better players, like: Osaze, nsofor, Anichebe, yobo etc. These players are still relevant in our team. We all know what is obtainable in our league, is not anyway to be compared to that of Egypt, Brasil, or even South African. I think most of those guys should be in our team (B) that is if there is anything like that in Keshi's team. We can't say because they won Nations's cup they are now super good. For me, the only though opponent they played was CIV. Most of us know that nations's cup without Egypt and Camerun is more than a bonus to either CIV, GAHNA OR NIGERIA.

kingthreat: Guys as much as we despise NFF, lets give them a plus on this. Keshi was clueless to go to a tournament with just one main striker, who is Oduamadi. The rest were inexperienced and unknown. Can someone tell me what gambo Mohammed was doing there. Keshi gambled him to play his first international match and all we saw was nonsense. Keshi should outgrow all these nonsense of building a team. He's been building that since he became coach. By now, we should have a strong team, not just a flock of inexperienced boys making the Super Eagles team list.

Omadachi: I appreciate the fact that coach Steven Keshi should be given a free hand to coach the team but looking at the calibre of players he took to the confideration cup shows that he need help.This is a welcome development.This kind of gambling should not repeat itself again,not in a major competiton in this magnitude.For crying out loud,why do we play friendly matches?

PDPwayoo:

U don come again. This man is saying the truth. Keshi did not use our best players cos of personal beef. This is Nigeria affairs not Keshi personal affairs. OK.

How can u invite such inexperience players to play in tournament u have Brazil, Spain, Italy? Keshi made mockery of African Football.
