belhomme: A list without a coach...whao dats like a pack of sheeps without shepherd and dat is a bunch of fools waiting to be revealed

hatux: At last Ogbuke obasi returns, but no Odewingie now.. NFF why? We need that guy, he is an excellent player better than this Emenike guy.

Princecalm: The statement Osaze made after the wc was that he would leave the national team for the younger one and you are here clamouring about him.I just love the list.

blueto: there was no confirmation about the statement. Every player is expected to say something like that in front of camera.

Ok. Lets drop osaze's case for now. What of Moses?, what about of the spectacular Babatunde? Has he not recover from injury?

mikeansy:

Moses is not that good at this moment although he may be better than Oduamadi

I don't think Babatunde is match fit

Dospix: Rubbish list...i just feel like piercing a bullet through them NFF their head. Everything about this list doesn't just look right; where is Osaze Odewinge? I just can't understand why they will leave out one of our best players for some inconsistent players that would definitely fail us. Who even gave NFF the responsibility to select players? Can't they think out of their block heads that the least we need now isn't another theatrical depiction of their stupidity.

hatux: At last Ogbuke obasi returns, but no Odewingie now.. NFF why? We need that guy, he is an excellent player better than this Emenike guy.

safarigirl: shey una no hear when Osaze say e no wan play football for una again?

Oh, so Osaze is better than Emenike, well Okocha and Kanu are better than Osaze, but can we get them back?

Abeg wetin Ideye do NFF people wey dem no gree recall am? Abi e straff Maigari pikin na wetin make dem give am the Zaha treatment?

jieta: since nff can select players for a match let them just coach the team what is the need of hiring a coach stupid nff

blueto: wait o. no victor moses and osaze . Nff, you guys need to review this list oh. I no wan hear story

safarigirl: shey una no hear when Osaze say e no wan play football for una again?

Oh, so Osaze is better than Emenike, well Okocha and Kanu are better than Osaze, but can we get them back?

Abeg wetin Ideye do NFF people wey dem no gree recall am? Abi e straff Maigari pikin na wetin make dem give am the Zaha treatment?

Woman? What do you know about football?

hatux: Woman? What do you know about football?

Princecalm: Absolutely nothing human will not complain of.Assuming Osaze was called u guys would have formulated another fuse from the list,perhaps clamouring for Uche.
