otokx: In the end the overaged cheats lost, water must find its level? How can the same set of girls keep playing in every consecutive U20 tournament?

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday stormed the National Stadium, Abuja, where he urged members of the national football team, the Super Eagles to ensure that their encounter with Lone Stars of Liberia in Moronvia on Saturday was a huge success.

The Super Eagles who are undergoing training at the Abuja Stadium will be meeting with the Liberian national team in a qualifying match for the 2013 African Nations Cup, South Africa 2013.

Jonathan implored the players to work hard to ensure they do well in the match, saying sports was strategic in his administration's agenda and promised that he would revamp the sporting sector.

According to the president, he has already set up a special committee at the Federal Executive Council meeting earlier in the day to work towards restoring the lost glory of the country's sports.

Calling for a replay of the Atlanta 1996 Olympics Game in which the country carted away gold medal in football, Jonathan expressed belief that Nigeria could still win gold in that category and others in subsequent Olympics.

Lamenting over the poor state of the stadium which was overgrown with weeds at the time of his visit, Jonathan directed the management of the stadium to correct the anomaly immediately.

Dede1: Esther is not the only player guilty of trying to shine in the glory of individual goal scoring. Esther and her fellow attackers should be meant to understand there is bigger picture in winning the match than celebrating individual goal. For example, the Nigerian girls would have defeated Mexico by, at least, 3 goals if they were Germans. It is unfathomable a player attempts to score from long range when such attacker could have laid the ball on the path of unmarked teammate.

Commentators and even opponent’s coaches recommend the skill sets of Nigerians but also lament on the lack of concentration and team work. These deficiencies are the faults of the coaches.

If every defender on the Nigerian side plays with the strict determination and non-nonsense approach of their skipper-Ofoegbu, Nigerian girls may have the chance of lifting the cup.

CFCfan: @ Dede1: You're spot on with your analysis. I also think that their positional awareness needs to be improved. For instance, on several occasions, when a defender should pass the ball back to the goalkeeper under pressure, she (defender) decides to take on the opposing player. This has resulted in many needless concessions of throw-ins and corner-kicks. Against the USA, conceding needless set-pieces could be very dangerous. The girls should only attempt to shoot from about 25 yards or less; this will guarantee a better chance of hitting the target. The main thing is that that they should strike a balance between shooting outside the box and passing to an unmarked teammate.

sholay2011: Did you just call 'Mirror boy' a wack film? It's either u were high when u typed this or u saw d movie with your left eye closed. Bad belle!

Hmmm. . .haven't seen the movie but from the little I've seen from the trailer, it's a substandard movie and the acting was definitely not it. i.e The scenes where the fat white boy was making fun of Genevieve's son, the fight between them, where Genevieve's son was slapped in the Market in Gambia etc all looked fake and unconvincing to me

Hell, even Aki's ''false'' bad tooth & dentition looked totally ridiculous and laughable to me. . . result of bad make-up IMO. Only thing real and convincing to me (from the trailer) was Genevieve's crying and tears and that ain't surprising as na Nollywood actress she be

All in all, the trailer does not inspire and motivate me to go watch it @ the Cinema or buy it when it's released on DVD_{. . .and this is what a trailer is supposed to do}

Lastly, why did Obi Emelonye write, direct and produce the movie? Does he have a problem with the concepts of ''division of labour'' and ''professionalism''?

As far as me dey concerned, na typical Nollywood movie shot (in London & Gambia) with high-definition equipments and made with better technology than most Nollywood productions but the acting and performances get big comma

Nothing spectacular about the movie and it's definitely not worth a visit to the cinema is my humble opinion

I'm not one of those Nollywood bashers and if a Nollywood movie is good, I'll say it is. You can check HERE for my contrasting review of another Nollywood movie to see what I mean

I'm sure you fall into the category of peeps who think Jenifa and Blackberry Babes were awesome movies. . .Shioor!

ayusco: @semid dude u said it all been long I saw a naija player score such a classy goal. Why do u think I'v been clamouring for keshi to call him up
