The news that Siasia has named his final list without uche dealt me a big blow. I had believed Uche will be our answer to Messi,Babel etc,but Uche was not relaesed by Getafe, leaving us with a bunch untested, though unpredictable ,players(minus Osaz).

yea i had hoped uche wud be included in the list, at least to give us a fearsome look, but d current players on list aint bad @ all, i cant 4 d olympics to start, i have high hopes 4 these lads

Hmmm . . . not sure about this list. Happy Ogbuke is in the squad as well as Osaze and Taiwo. Even Kelvin Etuhu of Man City should be able to make the squad. Goalkeeper department looks a bit light as well. Mikel should be here regardless of his no-shows. I do not see Argentina requesting Messi for Olympic qualifiers so I don't know why Naija keep persisting in forcing Mikel to show for qualifiers. I would have also liked to see Eromoigbe there as well as Yakubu Alfa from the Under-17's. Anyway lets see. . . .

I AM A TYPICAL NIGERIAN. I VE GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LIST RATHER THEIR PERFORMANCE AND POSSIBLY THE CUP COMING BACK WITH THEM.
i know nigerians, if anything goes wrong over there, it is this same group that has given pass mark to the list that will call for siasia's head.
mikel is surposed to be part of the list. he is only a player and no one expects him to honour all super eagles calls, honour that of the under 23 and still that of chelsea where he is strugling with world stars.

kai!
Now that is a blow!
Who else would be a natural forward for these boys?!
Osaze can try but he is not as devastating as Uche
If Messi can be released by his club and Ronaldinho by his club, why not Uche?
Oh boy! This beats me!
I didn't flinch when Mikel was excluded from the list but now, Uche, Nigeria may really miss him!

I really will miss the absence of IKE UCHE.
He would have been our Joker in the tournament.
However, the list is not Bad. We still have hope.
Uche's absence is NFA non-chalancy.
I stand to say that whether this team performs or not,
The non-inclusion of Obi Mikel is still a good omen.
I wish them a well encouraging tournament.

Aw, no. . . ! I was hoping to see the guy in action. And he's in sparkling form currently. One can't help but feel that the NFA could have done better. Read somewhere that his club Getafe claimed it was only the player that was pushing for being released and that NFA didn't send any official request.

Anyhow, with Siasia at the helm of affairs I know they'll do well. But winning the gold without the firepower of Ike Uche and the experience of Enyeama is what I don't know.
