that gbenga okunowo na the highest flop after playing for Barcelona. You people should stop calling Yakubu he's one of the top scorers in the history of the Super Eagles and all the AFCON winning boys in 2013 have written their name in nigeria soccer history non can be called flop including Mikel and Agbim as sad as it may sound. Egwuatu Oliseh and Ogbonna Kanu. i reserve my comment. 1 Like |

There are Bad players ..... juts plain useless from day one! Then there are good players, average may be a better description of them. They are played a few good games and thats all There there are BRILLIANT players, players who have played and shown enough quality for us to put our hopes in them .... They have been given consistent opportunity to show-case their skills and each time, they dash our hopes. They are not injured or suffer from lack of playing time. It is that "hope" which they dashed that makes them a flop! Now, if l look back for say over the last five to ten years, only one name keeps coming to my mind as the GREATEST FLOP EVER (refer back to that definition of "flop", again, not necessarily the worst player ever!) Okay, take our last world cup games and examine it again. Who was that player that gets a pass, controls the ball and then goes on to "take a nap", then lazily turns around to look at his Goal Keeper (from the middle of the field o!), wonders for a few seconds what he should do and then decides its better to make a "back pass" in the hope someone would be there to retrieve the ball. .... and while still making up his mind, an opponent has sneaked-in and collect the ball from his leg! Lets be honest about this, as much as l always pray for him to live up to his expectations and billing (each time l remember the way he "marshalled the mid-field, dictated the pace of the game and generally stamped his authority on everyone on the field in a W.Cup match, l cry at his demise!)... That MASTER-FLOP is MIKEl OBI (some of you have rightly tagged him SNAIL SLOWBI! ) Even if we argue that Chelsea's tactics destroyed him but have you wondered whether William and Ramires? Both forward thinking and ambitiously speedy players? This our own Mikel Obi (Slowbie, l mean) has added that "silent killer" to his game: BIG-MANISSM! he thinks he is soo good that the opponents will be just too scared to come near him! The last few games he has played in the national colors, l would have preferred even an old, expired J.J Okocha to just "stand there and verbally pass instructions"! I salute his level of "Floppiness". Lastpage! BTW: Is it a coincidence that the trio of Premier League players we took to the W.Cup were ALL FLOPS? Mikel Slowbi, Shola Ameobi and Victor Moses? Ameobi, l can pardon, he was never outstanding and is past his "sell-by-date", even by Newcastle standards, I dont know what Keshi "collected" to field him (probably a future coaching assistance job in Newcastle).. ...but Mikel 'Slowbie' and Moses are still young guys, For Fecks Sake? 1 Like |

tuffgongjo: abbey george debuted in d LG cup. And alongside Christian Obodo who also did very well, Abbey George was the MVP at that LG Cup! He wore jersey #9 and was so excellent - drawing comparisons with an equally good Reuben Agboola half caste at Senegal '92 - only that he faded much later. Such men weren't FLOPS. They only failed to sustain tempo. Even Ijeh Peterside wasn't a flop. Wasn't it that Nigeria VS Egypt 1-1 Friendly that he played? You don't judge a man by such matches - lone games - where he played alongside a largely experimental/homebased Super Eagles. It is just like judging Zabaleta because he played for Argentina in their 4-1 loss in Abuja, assuming that was Zab's debut, for example. FLOPs might be Stephen Ayodele Makinwa - Agreed. But even Ogbeche or Jonathan Akpoborie weren't flops for crying out loud. Finally, the man nolongthing here is such a brain. He reminds me of naptu. Those guys are cerebral! 1 Like |

larrymoore: Another flop is joseph Yobo, while on The pitch, anytime the super Eagle fails to score. On the opponent's side, he will just score an own goal to demonstrate how it should be done. It's funny how people only remember Yobo for own goals, yet this same Yobo has rescued Nigeria several times by coming to score for Nigeria when our strikers were misfiring. I remember two back to back 2010 World Cup qualifiers where it was Yobo that rescued us from playing goalless draws with the likes of Sierra Leone and Equatorial Guinea. Yobo is not a flop. 1 Like |

Syenite: 1) Efan Ekoku: Widely tipped prio to 1994 AFCON to be better than Yekini.Only game he played was against Zaire in Qfinal where he missed a very glaring chance. He was subsequently returned to d bench and fastened with a seat belt. That was d only game he played for Nigeria even though he made the party to 1994 world cup. 1 Like |
