zuchyblink: world cup is not ideal to test new player.check out this:
Enyeama
Yobo omeruo oboabona taiwo

Mikel

Onazi

Emenike shola moses

Bright dike


Note:We need experienced and exposed players.

Wat!!! Yobo or wat. Do u really watch afcon matches? I guess nt, because anyone who want Nigeria proceding beyond 1st round in brazil 2014wc wont list yobo in 1st xi

I hate it wen people start clamouring 4 yobo starting line-up under d pretest of experience. Experience my a$$!

I remember my heart was practically in my mouth seeing dat yobo playing in d dip heart of d defence. His tackle ability has depreciated nd nt up 2 par, his confidence on holding ball is nothing 2 write home about.Cant u figure out Y stephen keshi droped him 2 d bench


I remember hw agitated I was wen victor moses was substituted 4 yobo in 80s min against ivory coast.

D defence dept is d most sensitive dept nd should b treated wit care, any flop can cost a match unlike d offence department. Victor moses nd oduamadi flops, wasnt critical against ethiopia but would av been somtin else wit defence.


Imagine if yobo was in position 4 oboabona in addis-abbaba........................(fil in d gap) I'm sure yobo is 2 old/lazy 2 clear dat goal oboabona cleared...

Yobo av served 9ja well, he should retire,his mate (okocha,kanu) av retired, he has depreciated.

omar22:

Theirs so many countries within the eastern block of Europe Nigeria could play but I guess they are waiting to be invited so that they could collect the friendly fee

NFF ar stewpid, but nt 2 dat extent. Dey didnt wait 2 b paid wen dey organised a quick friendly wit burkinafaso.

denniece1: The kind of person keshi is..i dont tink he wil cal him bck..he evn told ideye dat he shuld fight 4 his shirt in d team A,cos there are talented players 4rm d homebased squad dat can replace him

He wont call him back 4 any reason.D stipulated reasons ar simple nd straight forward, he missed out 1 week of football training lessons. It would av been better if he missed out in d early stage.

Eagles Chan squad ar on d verge of concluding dere training session b4 he opt out so he might nt fit in..

Moreover, stephen keshi is a disciplined disciplinarian who is zero tolerance 2 indiscpline, inconsistence nd most importantly insubordinate 2 superior.

Hahahaha, I'm nt surprise since proud osaze could stylishly beg nd hope 4 a call. U ar all welcom 2 SE.

I'm sure those dat reject our national invitation wen d going was rough, tough nd super eagle was almost out of shape will live in regret 4 nt aving dere name written in gold 4 d national team (victor anichebe nd co).

Ideye brown!!! A stich in time saves nine,I could c it coming clearly, up ur club games nd starting line-up appearance, else u wont survive d competition 4 shirt patiently waiting 4 ur exit....

Hitman Emenike scored in fernabache 5-1 victory.He nw av a stunning 8 goals in 16 appearance, starting in 11 matches..

Dis must b d last advice I will NEVER give anyone in other 2 lift wc trophy.It wil b so unethical on both spiritual integrity nd intellectual personel of any NFF members 2 seek a spiritual assit frm d false demonic believe of urs(maraji).

Some 5 years back was d 1st tym I heard about u(gurumaraji) nd, I'm quite positive u arnt God, neither ar u greater dan God.

I believe d God of soccer is capable of elevating super eagle ability nd strenght 2 d level required 2 lift dere first ever wc trophy in nxt year brazil wc finals.

And as 4 2013 afcon trophy, super eagle teamwork ability in d 2nd round was more dan obvious 4 d victory 2 b an offspring of ur magical ruse. U could c wit ur eyes d game is more of teamwork techinque dan spiritual assist.

Mr guru or watever u call urself, pls packwell 4 1 coner, we no nid u 4 super eagle .God of trinity is sufficient 4 ma super eagle.

I trust NFF, dey wont WASTE resources on a friendly match with ANY african country. We r done wit all africa country.

NFF should pls organise a friendly with any of Belgium/uruguay/spain/switzerland, if possible, I would love a friendly with brazil nd germany.

Kenya is just 2 small 4 my superstar super eagle.

Austeenx: Don't worry, you'll finish 3rd in Group F, that's if Iran go to Brazil as tourists.

so who do u xpect 2 go beyond group stage alongside argentina, bosnia (jjc) or Iran?.Hahhahaha, (laughing in chinese) u must b joking.

Watch out 4 emenike(wc 2014 golden boot award), Enyeama(wc2014 most clean sheet)

Abeg go check all d goal enyeama dey conceed after him 11 clean sheet, na enyeama defenders dey score own goal and deflecting shot away frm him 2 anoder angle(including ibrahimovic only goal frm free kick).

Shey na dis kind goalkeeper iran, bosina 1 beat 2 score.

world best messi is a living witness, in south africa 2010, enyeama stop all messi 4-5 shots and prevent him frm scoring.

I was ecstatic wen I heard d news in a sport news dis evening. He must av prove himself brilliant nd exceptional which prompt jose mourinho 2 promote him 2 CFC first team.

Super eagle defends is getting stronger wit Super eagle goalkeepers being inform of dere life. I v d personal believe d acclaimed underdog super eagle will b outstanding in 2014 wc.

I wish NFF could arrange a friendly match btw Nigeria nd any of brazil/germany/england/belgium.

If super eagle could go away wit a narrow win or a draw wit any of dis teams, am sure some dimwit who critisim av bcom a solace 4 dere soul will zip dere mouth on Nigeria being only lucky all tru in every dept, 2 av run away wit a draw against italy.

If super eagle is a bit luckier dan chelsea fc (especially 2012 champions league matches), den Nigeria wil make it up 2 semi-final/final nd perhaps unxpectedly lift 2014 wc trophy.

Good news 4 kenneth omeruo, manager jose mourinho promoted kenneth omeruo 2 chelsea fc first team.
Source 8:45PM TV sport news.

I believe d combination of omeruo+ oboabona wil form a solid piece of star defending+ EnyeaMAGNETIC hand(mr clean sheet/ world class shot stopper).

I tink super eagle only nid a good playermaker/attacking midfielder, 2 more mid-fielders like mikel, onazi nd a solid team B backup. Wit dis, super eagle is complete.

Flygeriansteve: And the one that gets me is his hygiene...always hacking up phlegm and spitting all over the pitch!

Gbuhahahahahahahh, u remind me of his awkward moment in d blues jersey, he spit on his jersey (a draw saliva) wen d camera was concentrating on him 4 one of his awkward football game.D guy immediately jug 2 save himself embarassment.

I love d guy as a player but his club form disapointed me.

Nomski0: Congrats to Emmanuel.

Nobody should mention Mikel here o . He's simply overhyped. Vincent should have made the list, the guy's got magic hands.

Haba,in wat way is he overhyped, Mikel is a natural center mid-fielder, used as an attacking mid-fielder in some super eagle matches, use as a defensive mid-fielder in chelsea. His ball holding capacity, 360 killer pass nd counter attack cannt b overlooked(outstanding).Sometimes u nid ojoro in football, his PROFESSIONAL FOUL mentality is 2nd 2 none(I always love is intentional fouls, perfectly done witout a booking).

His outstanding game against world class spain and uruguay was an eye opener of d UNUSED RAW talent embeded in his cerebrum. I av some mates dat concluded jose mourinho destroy Mikel's career(DMF postion @ chelsea) after his wonderful display in confederations cup.


Wit is exceptional technique, he stands against all odds in confederations cup and net a goal against uruguay wit his LEFT WEAK FOOT..

If u rewatch is performance against spain, u wil agree wit me he as neva been hyped nw 2 talk of overhyped.

Ayolaw2003: I think ds guy is good...jst the poor goal scoring form! Pressurizes defenders with his body movement&skills...can't forget in a hurry his assist for Emenike against B/Faso

D assist Ideye created 4 emenike against b/faso is a world class rear assist.

He was already in front of emenike and somehw dribble d defender out of position (4 emenike) with d speed of light by passing d ball BACKWARD with his BACK FOOT 2 emenike running behind him(ideye).

This guy is a brilliant striker nd up til nw he is a good 2nd striker in dynamo creating ASSIT.

I read d self-pitied look on his face wen he wasted d only chances( side ways in d very dip18 yard box) he encountered against ethiopia in calabar

I hope d wizards in his villiage 4giv him and return his goal scoring senses b4 2014wc.


I remember is unbelievable goal against mali, he scored wit FOLLOW ME-like skill

I remember his assit against thaiti, though he was unable 2 score.

Unfortunately 4 him,Keshi is taken 6 forwards, 7 mid-fielders, 7 defenders nd 3 goal keepers 2 brazil 2014 wc

However, hope is nt lost, Ideye nids 2 fight 4 a shirt wit dike,emenike,victor moses,ahmed musa,ameobi,nsofor, uche etc..

Sadly 4 Ideye, he cant stand any of dis forwards.

If finally he didnt make d world cup squad, I wil perhap bless him wen I remember is good moment, I may curse him if I ever remember is awful football moment especially Nigeria vs thaiti.

Freedani: Oga ideye abi wetin u call ur self? U beta carry ur big arsssssss comot for road.we no say u go go Brazil but no be to go play ball oo. U go go there go help my man Emenike dey carry im boot

Dats d only tin he is best @ doing without flaw but sadly enough, PLAY FOOTBALL WIT FLAIR AND WASTE GOAL CHANCES has bcom is choosen watch words, 2 find d back of d net as bcom a TABOO 4 him.I hope HE prove himself in brazil, I'm aving a strong feeling he will suprise everybody comes nxt year wc. Except 4 is poor goal skills,he is an excellent recommedable material 4 SE.....

Polio:

You are a fu....cking dunce.... A big fat fooool infact for daring to quote and reply me!

People can have opinions, yes, and they can differ .. but the point and where i started from originally was that Maradona is right in saying that and there is no point attacking him but to focus on your own team and talk about their chances.

If you spend all your life talking too much about other peoples opinions and views, your life will pass you by

Go back and read the trail of messages/responses i left on this thread....

Bloody moro...n... When you come back, make sure your grammar has been fixed and dont type using dumb, daft and dimwitted abbreviations that dont exist ok.... Dweeb!

I'm nt jobless like u, I av no tym 4 a baseless e-war wit a brainless a$$hole , u contradictated majority of ur myopic opinion,despite calin me a dunce m0ron, u r so stewpid 2 d extent of xpecting a reply frm a dunce m0ron. I only reply 2 let u know hw stupid u ar rifraf.....

Polio:

Thank you... The tonnes of idio..ts on this thread attacking Maradona dont know this, so thanks for reminding them!

Like u acknowledged, every body av right 2 his/her own opinion, I tink nairalanders ar nt an e-diot 4 aving an opinion differ frm maradona's nd urz. Den mayb u ar d e-diot bro.

aliumik: Patriotism aside,do u really think Nigeria will find it easy against Argentina?

patriotism apart, its 2 PESSIMISTIC 2 tink Nigeria wont find it easy with argentina

Remember south africa is IN ALL WAYS no match wit spain,yet south africa beat spain wit d help of mother luck, anytin can happen in football,football is nt mathematics, being OPTIMISTIC is an extra-ordinary fighting spirit which can serve as a cutting egde.

Even messi and is coach play a mind game tru d media by respecting Super eagle,Iran nd Bosnia ability though dey knew Argentina ar extra-ordinary capable, maradona is just talking crap.

He should go and die if Nigeria Top group F

Foolish man talking as if he know it all.

Despite messi nd his coach being a strong pillar of argentina team, dey didnt talk dis crap.

I tink Fifa need 2 modify d way dey calculate dere points or perhaps reduce d rate @ which a country lose point wen beaten just once in other 2 maintain d ranking table dignity and integrity. Fifa method of calculation makes d ranking table look useless nd unrealiable.

I find it difficult 2 believe d 1-0 lost 2 jordan caused Nigeria 2 slip on d table.

Nigeria, according 2 fifa ranking will finish bottom in world cup 2014 group F BUT I trust super eagle, d reverse wil b d case 4 d super eagle, dey will disgrace d integrity of fifa ranking table d way dey did wen Nigeria(52nd) beat mali(25th) 4-1 Ivory coast2-1 and a 2-2 draw wit italy(7th) , Nigeria(33).

safarigirl: Playing age-grade tournaments doesn't count. Once you appear in a game for the Senior team of a country, you become ineligible to play for any other team.

Tnxs.

Am confused can someone pls xplain 2 me Y Victor moses nd shola ameobi was able 2 play 4 Nigeria senior team despite making dere first international debut 4 England U-17 and U-21 with both individual netting goals 4 d turnament.

emekakelvin: SALTS!!!!

Some people in this section lack manners, Social e-war and online scuffle turn to be a solace for their soul ----Hmmm I feel sorry for such person.

The individual in question possess a puerile character ,but in return of self defence,he said some individuals are immature----This is what we call hypocrite

To be sincere, I am not here to counter anybody opinion,but this is just an observation.

OK.

The immaturity in dis sections is damn alarming, av read all dis yabing but sincerely I was highly disappointed nd irritated. This yabing is 2 local,immature, disgustin and degrading 2 b frm acclaimed Nigeria undergraduate. I was expecting a more composed polished, conversation but these junks of write up really convince me users in sport sections ar made of matured,exposed minded educationist but dere ar BRAINS dat stil nid upgrading in dis section..

Am nt addressing my write-up 2 anybody just my observation.

Thumb fynestboi, I stil witness some of those intresting package of yabing in page 63, but dis people local gan, dem no even fit use big big grmmer yab, na sango, thunder, bla bla bla dem dey use yab, 2 local 4 my liken but intresting though.

Who b dis mod wey hide all dis E-war post. WTF, I really missed dis intresting rear package of d month. Fynesboi una no do well 4 hiding dis post, arrgh, I 4ucked up 4 nt folowing dis tread everyday.

Abeg make someone else start anoder E-war I always find it intresting esp d sport section vocabulary yabing.

naija noni: Victor moses career don finish ooo!!!.Sturridge and gerrard injured and he still cant get into d starting XI.Imagine sterling,allen are ahead of him.His case is very worrying.

I just pity d poor guy, I would advice him 2 request a loan move 2 a bottom table team were he could play regularly, prove his worth and help his team 2 move up d table because dere is no more space 4 him@ STAMFORD BRIDGE after returning on loan frm liverpool.

His poor performance 4 liverpool is 2 alarming dan 2 make d starting line-up.

Though I love victor moses as a patriotic nd dedicated Nigerian but sentiment apart,I would av sell him off @ any price 2 any LEAGUE team if I happens 2 b his manager.

I stil dont understand Y he play trash 4 his club and play a wonderful game 4 his country.

safarigirl: in fact our defense was pretty solid that day, a weak defense would've conceded 3 or more goals

Nigeria home-base defenders were just 2 lucky dat day.

Italy lost almost a dozen of goal chances.Balotelli lost an irritating goal chance just very close infront of austin ejide, he was 2 close but he couldnt keep is shot down.Am sure Ideye brown will dere nt waste such chances unless he is cursed frm home.

troy20:
well once a player has been capped by a senior national team of a country, he cant change nationality.ameobi never played for england and am sure if agbanlahor hadnt played for england aswell(even if he never stepped on the pitch) he would've wanted to play for us now.am sure he regrets his decision now cause he rejected our invitation long ago.

wao, am unaware of dat.

Good 4 agbonlahor,he wil bite is finger wen Nigeria make it up 2 semi-final and his national beloved country (england) is sent home in group stage.

I love victor moses, he saw it coming and switch Nationality b4 its 2 late. Am sure victor moses wont make d bench of England squad nw 2 talk of playing 4 england senior team.

Afam4eva:
David Alaba already plays for the Austrian National team.

I'm aware of dat,he wont play in brazil worldcup as well. Am hoping he could stil switch nationality just like Victor moses and shola ameobi.

I guess its already late 4 him 2 play 4 Nigeria in nxt year wc finals, because it took victor moses some years b4 he could switch nationality succesfully.
