Kbs468: It wasn't Monday Sinclair oo but Phillip Trousier That local coach honour still lies with the late Amodu shu'aibu
The legendary Lim Kee Chong of Mauritius was the center referee for the game against Kenya in a chock-full forty-five thousand capacity National Stadium in Lagos, with stadium’s capacity reached hours before kick-off. Fans and supporters eagerly awaited what they prayed would be an easy game for the Eagles.
The Eagles coached by Frenchman Philippe Troussier turned up in style. Playing a fluid 4-3-3 formation as against Troussier favoured 3-5-2.
Abiodun Baruwa was preferred to Atlanta 96 hero Joseph Dosu in goal, a central defensive pairing of captain Uche Okechukwu and Taribo West were complemented in defence by fullbacks Celestine Babayaro and Mobi Oparaku; Mutiu Adepouju, Sunday Oliseh and Austin Okocha manned the midfield while Jonathan Akpoborie, Daniel Amokachi, and Emmanuel Amuneke were the attacking trio.
Wilson Oruma came in for Okocha in the 63rd minute, Victor Ikpeba took Amokachi’s place in the 78th minute while in the 86th minute Christopher Ohenhen replaced Akpoborie.
The fans didn’t have to wait to long for their expectations to be met as a debut goal for nineteen year old Sunday Oliseh in the 14th minute set the ball rolling for the Eagles while further strikes by Emmanuel Amuneke in the 43rd minute and substitute Wilson Oruma in the 83rd minute sealed Nigeria’s qualification for only the second time.
Nigeria will go on to lose 1-0 to Guinea in the final qualifying game and Troussier lost his job to “World Cup Coach”, the then Yugoslavian Bora Milutinovic. Oliseh 19 years old in 1998? the same oliseh that featured in Tunisia 94 and USA94? |

komekn: Agreed without too many question ❓ ❓ ❓
Why why when a player has been largely anonymous in both the Championship and league one. Decides to go to Bulgaria that tells us something, he lacks quality.
Maybe it could be explained with the small matter of his Uncle Thompson Oliha. But He was in league one when Aidy Boothroyd invited him to U21 side which he declined. |

Icon4s: Who are the experienced strikers we have in the super Eagles now?
Onigbinde dropped Yakubu Aiyegbeni and took Opabunmi to the world cup.
Besides, Osimhen's rating at U17 was higher than that of Opabunmi. Which Nigerian U17 Player has ever scored a double digit in a single tournament? Osimhen is highest ever goal scorer at the U17 WC. Talentwise both players are not at par.
Mind you , if you are fair with ur reasoning, all along I have been against Osimhen's early inclusion into the national team until he proves himself at senior club level.
You cannot hinge on Osimhen's call up to keep crying over Awoniyi's exclusion. Both players are currently not on the same pedestal. Yakubu deserved to be dropped for 2002 world cup, was he fit? he had eyes surgery weeks before korea/Japan world cup. |

They don't have protocol as such, they just said only graveyard is prohibited, but asides that, nothing more. i know the route, there is no express road there, just iseyin/saki road, after moniya around Alabata village. the railway line is at Ajibade oloshoko, not far from Kings college. i can help you with some pictures if i pass the route before monday. You can ask the estate agent how far is the land from ALABATA VILLAGE |

Taliban: He actually did try Martins on one or two occasions before sidelining him and tbh Martins didn't cover himself in glory in those few games. Uche he made a uturn after the WC. Even Sone aluko and akpan were eventually drafted to the team, after him, did anyone call Martins, sone and akpan even when they were still performing? Yes after Keshi, Oliseh invited martin but rather used him as mildfieder..Even Keshi gave martin a chance against Kenya which he didn't utilize. |

PDP May win in Ibadan and Ibarapa zones but it will be a close race You are very right..Last week election in Oyo State, APC won 2 senatorial seat, PDP 1..house of representation, APC won 9, ADP 1 and PDP 4.
