I am telling you that okocha and diouf don't play in the same position so don't compare them okay.

What trophy did okocha win with the eagles ?

Thank you

against egypt we were a goal up better defending we would have won the match. osaze was so bad we had to remove him before we scored against guinea. ask yourself why that is the case

osaze played against angola in kano which we drew. abi that is false too?

Mickael2:


Against Guinea no doubt we missed chances but we did score two goals and with a better GK we would have qualified. Please against Egypt didn't Moses miss chances too? I can remember two off the top of my head. Didn't he play but did we even manage a goal? Ask yourself that.

Nobody chased Osaze away from West Brom, the club didn't even want him to leave which was why he had to force a move, that tells you how valued he was at the club that they didn't want to let him go. Penalty taking isn't only about who does it best, seniority comes into play. I mean do you think Moses takes better penalties than Iheanacho? Abi you think Messi takes penalties better than Rakitic? Osaze played in a period with other top dogs, nobody was taking any penalty away from Yakubu.


Finally I can see you are just throwing around false stats, please how many games did Osaze play on the WCQ for 2006? He did not play the game we lost against Angola. it was towards the end of the tournament that he started getting game time as a sub

I have never seen a clueless Nigerian Coach...The man is a disgrace to Nigeria Football.

I had to cover my face when I saw him trying to teach the Goalkeeper how to take a Goal kick.

I knew it will end this way. When I saw the line up. I have never seen a coach as stubborn as this man. How will you keep your best players on the bench in a knock out match. He need to be sacked asap.

I said it here that, the Duru of a girl has no business in the team. How she became a footballer still baffles me. But some people want us to believe, she is the next thing the SFs need.

The most painful thing was the coach's refusal to make the third sub. He is expecting a Miracle replica of what happened against China.

On FIFA'S part, how can you choose a ref from China to refer the next game of a team that sent her country home. So much bias from the Governing body.

The team is made up of average girls that lacks quality + a clueless coach. It's over. 2018 has been a disappointing year for our football.

You know, until you know someone personally what you have is media driven perception, the real person is very far from you.

Getting anybody to jump to the SE is not the issue, getting True Top Quality Talent is. However, if you want to enthrone mediocrity, I guess your proposition in bold wins.

After being educated right here about the extreme harsh reality of life of in Nigeria, financially speaking. I can understand how people's perspective on commitment can become distorted.

Most Nigerian origin players in the UK who are on the ascendancy do not need the SE to promote and propel thier careers. It can even be a distraction that causes them to loose value.

The players in Nigeria considers the matter a LIFE & DEATH issue. And as such will do anything on and off the field and concede to all demands from NFF officials. And may seemingly be perceived as more committed. Is that commitment national interest or self preservation. It's a matter of perception.

I don't think you can judge commitment by assumptions on body language. That's being presumptuous in the negative and downright prejudiced.

I knew you were going to jump right behind the English Boys.

I don't know when Victor Moses became the best thing after Coca-Cola. He is good and that is what he his. But saying he is indispensable is a total joke.

There are better players and talents of Nigerian decent who are relatively unknown simply because opportunity never came their way.

Give it time and he will be eclipsed by a younger player and no one will miss him.

You think everything ends in the Queensland...

Because Nigeria is not getting things right does not make Nigerians short of individual talents and quality folks who will Excell in any field of their choice.

I don't know when COMMITMENT had another meaning
I had to recheck my dictionary. I don't know if the word differs with different regions of the world.
But this is what I got.

Noun: commitment
|ku'mit-munt|
The trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose • a man of energy and commitment
= committedness
~ earnestness, serious-mindedness, seriousness, sincerity
⇒ investment
The act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action • his long commitment to public service
= allegiance, dedication, loyalty
~ cooperation
⇒ communalism, consecration, devotion, enlistment, faith


But if you still no understand am..

Let me put it to this way.

You have 22 employees working for you. But you still need one more to make the whole thing thick. You saw a candidate with potential on the verge of been employed by your competitor (a rival). you went all the way and did everything possible to convince that person to come work for you. After a while he considered your offer and decides to work for you.

At first he was humble and dedicated. He gave all he can and he begins to get all the accolades due him. Then, suddenly their was a turnaround. He reports to work late only to give excuses to justify his lateness. He begins to select the tasks he will do and those he won't despite that they were all within his job description. Yet you played along and did as if you didn't see it. You tried reaching him through an higher officer. Yet there was no changes.

Then, you started noticing that his poor attitude has started affecting the whole team of staffs... I'm sure, you been who you are an ENLIGHTENED INDIVIDUAL will not read any meaning into such body language indicating LACK OF COMMITMENT TO YOUR COMPANY GOALS and so won't take any action. Till the whole thing goes south.

I think Moses just felt it was the right time. Remember he will be 31 come next world cup. I don't think you can force Moses out because he is so strong mentality that nothing ever gets to him.

How old is Arjen Robben, Ronaldo, Evra, Lassana Diarra, Riberi, etc,

And if we are too be honest with ourselves do we really know the true age of our players.

I wonder what the true age of Taribo West was when he was playing competitive football.

So let's leave the age issue to one side.

Talking about Victor Moses being a legend of the Nigerian game. This is subjective, depending on who you want to classify as a legend.

Let me role out my list of Nigerian legends and lets see if Victor Moses belongs to that Class.

Teslim "Thunder" Balogun
Christian Chukwu
Segun Odegbami
Adokiye Amiesimaka
Stephen Keshi
Rashidi Yekini
Emmanuel Amuneke
Austin Okocha
Finidi George
Daniel Amokachi (arguably)
Victor Ikpeba
Kanu Nwankwo
Sunday Oliseh
Peter Rufai
Vincent Enyeama

Does Victor Moses belong to that Class? I don't think so.


Well in that group Moses will struggle for relevance, truth must be told in comparison to some, players but not all.

The matter is open too never ending debate, over pots of HOT Nkwobi and Start Beer.

Occam Razor, the simplest explanation is usually the best.

Victor Moses has provided enough data points over the last few years to show that he was finding it increasing difficult to honour national calls for friendlies and low level games. I do not doubt his commitment while on the pitch.

I am one of those who defended Moses here but i can not ignore that he is retiring at 27 especially after all his excuses not to come for games. It all points to the same conclusion. Making these national team games are getting harder for him.

I don't think they are excuses.

It's a reflection of his career trying to find relevance and consistency and then you want to go to AFCON. His career could have reached a premature end because of honouring Afcon call up.

I know how Moyes treated Yobo on account of him honoring Afcon.

Danny Shittu had to decide over his career or Afcon.

I do not for once doubt VM commitment one bit. But I completely appreciate the circumstances he often found himself in.

AFCON has been moved to the summer so that excuse no longer flies.

Ikpeba, Okocha, Kanu etc all suffered from going to AFCON. They did not quit as a result

What real age? Did victor retire from football or just super eagles? As long as they are not in age grade competition a players age means nothing. Rooney retired from England early also.

There is no age issue with Moses. He left Nigeria at a very young age, played for English youth teams.

27 is a very young age to retire. He is probably at his peak.

What else can he achieve with the super eagles? We all know he would have been forced out if he had stayed too long so it is best to quit while on top.
