gbishman: i dnt think nigeria needs a foreign coach, i think keshi jst needs to work on his ego,pride and tolerance. U see we lost this match because the players who in earnest had all the skills required to come tops in the championship but lacked the leadership touch as seen in the poor coordination of players. I feel if Yobo was to captain the team he definately would have coordinate them internally and we would'nt have had the our defence had. Mickail isnt a leader rather his a good follower. So keshi needs to wrk on himself to become a better coach and have behind his mind that Country is much more important than everytin else even if a player insults u, provided he apologises u should shelve malice and and move along for the good of the country. Thats my take

9jadelta: go to youtube, type dynamo, and see amazing things this guy has done. He is jesus of 21st century

akinzy_akin: Peepz seriously keshi nidz an adjustment...
2 me
E nidz lykz of martinz and osaze includong taiwo
With a striking force of osaze moses and martinz and we av a midfielder lyk Mikel and also av a replacement for martins such as emenike...den taiwo as a replacemenrt of echejile...as well as his oda players...I tink dis wuld b a great team
Pls I think super eagles wuld reach sumwia mor beta dan dis if dis dude can follow dis
Pls like ma status if you agree

dabossman: You are so correct. It's really amazing when I hear some Nigerians throw names like Osaze, Martins, Yobo around and they suggest we would have been better if those guys were in the team. Have we so quickly forgotten how we failed to qualify for Germany 2006, or the disaster that was South Africa 2010. Were this not the same guys who couldn't beat South Korea, even when 3 points would have ensured qualification to the next round? Were these not the same guys who failed to qualify for AFCON 2012? So, what makes them all of a sudden the magicians that will ensure us success?

Keshi has done a good job so far. To think we could have won the Confeds Cup is nothing buy wishful thinking. We were never considered among the favourites, but I have not seen the Eagles play with such fluidity and confidence in a very long time.

Afam4eva: Uche didn't have a good nations cup but he's a very good player and scorer. He actually didn't have the kind of scoring chances seen in this confederation cup in the Nations cup.

That Ayeigbeni made an error in the world cup does not negate the fact that he's a killer in front of goal. Another reason why Aiyegbeni and other previous strikers were not doing much was because, when they were there, the midfield was not as good as it is now, so they often had to come and fight for balls. They were virtually feeding themselves instead of the midfielders doing that. Now, that we have a better midfield and scoring chances, it takes the likes of these guys to convert those chances.

madanne4real: I still do not know why Michael Eneramo was not invited by the Technical team. He is big, strong and agile. He would have done more than the flat attackers we presented in the tournament. It is a learning curve though.

timecop28: Dynamo kiev in Ukraine..The league's second top scorer, obviously Nigeria's top scorer in Europe in 2012/2013 season. Do you well remember Uche's performance at the Nations cup?? Aiyegbeni at the World cup?
Quit living in the past bro. These guys mentioned above are finished.

larimo: [size=14pt]Osaze, a striker, has scored 9 goals in 55 appearances in 11 years for the Eagles, while Mikel, a deep-lying midfielder, has scored 4 goals in 51 appearances in 8 years.

Why all the fuss about Osaze's coming back?[/size]

ADIGUN adekunle: he need to setle with some players like osase.

victorazy: I think Igbo are the real antidote this country really needs. Imagin our strikers cant score bcuz no Igbo guy was there. I pity this country that the way other common, filthy, fragile, incapable, feeble, inproficient, brainless tribes are managing d country "thank God Keshi's name is Okechukwu" no wonder he is doing excellent. See Musa, no brain like cow! See Ideye-nettrophobian "fear of net" Mikel score "Igbo", Echiejile "Igbo"

timecop28: How easy for all of you to analyse. This shlda been invited, that shlda been called. If 'IFS' and 'BUTS' were goodies and chocolates, we will all have a merry xmas. You same folks were nagging about the 'big boys' not been committed back them so they shld be booted out of the team..Now u are advocating for their return.
Two things that go together..."Nigerians & Hypocrisy"
I tire for una o.

dan tha mccoy: We need Osaze back, simple as that. With the football we played yesterday, we could beat any team in the world bar Spain - IF we had people to convert our chances. You can never have strikers/wingers like Babatunde, Akpala and hope to go anywhere. Even Shola Amoebi or Anichebe would have been better.
Keshi's pride irritates me. If he were Italy's coach he would probably have frozen out Balotelli.

tunex23: Am not liein despite e has less startin opportunity he comes in often has sub, and he played rili well. Beside dat self Nosa igiebor his by far more technically and physically better dan dat ogude, if u watch him against barca and athletico last season you wil agree wit me. He was one of o dere best players last season not until dat injury against levante ruin is season,

‘Nigeria have a very dynamic style of playing and they were really going for the win in the first half but we had a bit more control in the second period,”.
‘The humidity here is incredible but I think we both have very technical players who can control the game and that meant at times we were able to conserve energy.’

back2sender: another comment that i love.

Gguy4real: Although nigeria play a good and decent football under this man keshi but he should stop receiving money from this players for him to have a say if they flop look at ideye gambo akpla and some other flop players like that, I have been expecting this because he shouldn't have select akpala and ideye in the first place what happen to our inform strikers such as kalu uche micheal emenaro and others like that, is this what nigeria will play in next year 2014 world cup.

camelus: U Pple have started again,for the past 10 yrs they have been there what have they achieved?

Nigeria proved to be the toughest foe Spain saw in
the group stage, even though the African
champions were unable to find the back of the net

iamdsam: We would have done better in our first game. In the remaining two games, I saw determination in most of our players. The only player I really have serious problem with is Musa. He's a bad player. I wonder why Keshi still kept him in our remaining two games. Maybe it's politics. I don't know

alex406: We dont have 2 yet. Ambrose looks more like an attacker than a defender. We need players like Osaze,Moses,Martins in that front. Nsofor and Joel Obi as well. Keshi disappointed me with his squad though they had a good game.

kikuyu1: Wow! WTF happened? Ohh,I know. Spain and Uruguay aren't Kenya or Malawi,that's what happened! Whichever way you look at it you were outplayed in every department. You suffered the fate of all pretenders;you're not good enough for this level and came up short,publicly-it could have been worse.

SuyaEater: Exactly what we lacked going into the confederations cup is exactly what we saw in the confederations cup.....

I like where this team is going and the discipline keshi has brought....no more because I am based abroad I will automatically get a shirt...you have to fight for it....when a coach call u up and you say you don't wanna play (anichebe, ameobi, shittu) ...keshi will not call u up again..who do you think u are?.....with that said we need the experience of osaze out there....let bygones be bygones....I think this team will be good at next's year world cup....with the same afcon squad and bringing a player like osaze off the bench....then beefing up other positions on the team.

I like what I saw against uruguay and spain....we are almost there

chyk91: Where is ekigho ehiosun? I tnk we shud invite lukman haruna, sone aluko, imoh ezekiel, still try and reach out to sidney sam as he can still represent us cos he has played a competitive game just friendlies for germany. Naija did okay, we just nid a better benc
h dasall.

airmark: Keshi's poor player management dealt us a massive blow in the tournament. You put Ideye who nearly injured his ankle in his quest to nick in a cross, against top-class defence. Truth be told, strikers like Osaze, anichebe would have made difference. Most of the attackers paraded by keshi have no biz in goal scoring activity. Good exposure for the defenders and midfielders, though.

smoothcrim2014: Issac Success should have been brought!! Surely he's better than Ideye!!

jossy26: Seriously, the Nigerian team is just an average team with no special talent, am sure we got other good players to use but nepotism, favouritism, tribalism, etc is the bane of nigeria as a whole. Even if Musa or Gambo isn't playing well, Keshi can't substitute them. We need to bring in some of players from under 20, the likes of haruna lukman, rabiu ibrahim, chrisantus, Ajagun etc are needed in this team
By the way, why am I still up dis late

Forza p: Inexperience!truth be told we still need our BIG BOYZ in dis team,players like osaze,yobo&martins. seriously we still need their experience to add 2 dis team,also keshi shld learn hw 2 manage players ego,if italy cud manage BALOTELLI why cant we manage osaze or yobo?overall average performance sha

smoothcrim2014: Neither was Nigeria. You disgraced yourselves. If you are not going to bring it don't show up!!
