All these football novices commenting like the kids they are.
Mikel will remain a legend as far as football in Nigeria is concerned.
Asides being a very gifted player who God has blessed,he is perhaps the most successful footballer Nigeria has ever produced,asides perhaps Kanu.
No one can take away what Mikel has done for Nigeria,even if his present form in this nation's cup is below his very lofty standards.
Kudos to a Nigerian football legend.

Simply a legend.

My respect for him soared during the Olympic games where he virtually shouldered the burden of the team both financially and on the pitch. Even during the AFCON we won, he was the leader.

He may not be playing well now but it takes nothing from him as one of Nigeria's football legends.

We should treat him with some respect he deserves

Seconded.

Mikel haters will soon flood the thread uninvited, especially the fans of perennial failure of a club called Assenal

Retiring at 32 for "the young boys" to continue.

CR7 is 34 and playing like he's 10 years younger than Mikel.......or.......is he........?

undecided
How many Nigerian footballers retire from international football in their 30s? You and I know that that is Mikel's football age just like many African footballers. Dude may be way older than Ronaldo or Messi. I don't think Mikel is less than 40 in the real sense.

And still a well decorated player(By African standard) He deserves our praise and not this words from you.

True. He's good though grin

So Mikel just admited bah? Bro i like you, you've done your best as a patriotic citizen but it's time to quit the stage for the young ones to proof their worth for a better chance ok.

Mikel kindly retire from international football now before Nigerian football fan descend on you.

So far, just one match played. Best back-passer and defensive-minded attacking midfielder that Nigeria ever had.

He has done enough for the super eagles both inside and outside the pitch. He is a living legend of his generation.
