Mario Gomez. Is this not a case of mistaken identity? shouldn't he be playing for Mexico and not Germany with that name?

mens dept: ANyway, whats up with that stadium they are building in Akwa Ibom?

plantation: I guess dis is the most sensible post i've read so far. Even when we all thought the Abuja stadium was at its best, yet it was no were near the 1st 100stadia in the world in terms of exhilarating ultra modern facilities. We started building dat stadium at a time when korea/japan had already set out a standard on wat a modern stadium should look like, yet Abuja stadium got nowhere around even the worst of the world cup hosting stadia in those countries. Seeing some earlier posters attack the OP's honest and sincere question shows how we as Nigerians have basically accepted Mediocrity as part of our DNA. Oh, anyone ever seen the pitch of our highly coveted abuja stadium lately? For Mohammed Sake, why should we ever cast another glimpse at that stadium, after watching wat South Africa had on ground dat even stunned the world?

mens dept: Actually the poster seems to be more patriotic than you. Nigeria is not good enough for anyone frankly, particularly those who's lives were wasted recently....

I'm glad he is asking a fair question, which is why we cant have decent stadia in the country with all our wealth and football hype. Even the jerseys our national team wear isnt marketable, and frankly looks like a mere training kit. All the Euro jerseys, the US, Mexico, Cameroon, and a host of others have baddazz kits, except us. (Also goes for their airports)

Now of course there are more important things than jerseys and stadia, like our general complacency, childishness, and cowardice, which allows for corrupt leaders to exploit us, but as far as this topic, its a valid question.

Imagine, Abuja Stadium goes for $350 Million and no retractable roof, Haba, who is choppin our money? WHat ever happened to Sanni Lulu and Uchegbuulam and the rest who I thought EFFC arrested for corruption?

Dayum, lets stop having low standards for our country.

ANyway, whats up with that stadium they are building in Akwa Ibom?

baby-boy:
to build a stadium in is an opportunity for a group of old farts to embezzle money

The Teslim Balogun stadium was commissioned in 1985 after billions and billions it was completed,

The Abuja Stadium cost $360m 61k (which is a joke)

Cardiff Millenium Stadium 72k cost £121m

Allianz Arena 66k cost €340 million

Dortmund Arena 80k cost €200 million

Margins don't get any smaller as the Super Eagles fly into Blantyre for their 2014 World Cup qualifier against Malawi.

Win, and they go top of the group, and even stretch their lead to as much as three points. Lose, and they could fall to third in the group.

It is that close. That extreme.

Which perhaps explains why Flames coach Kinnah Phiri may be trying to unsettle the Super Eagles with tough talk.

Immediately after drawing 0-0 against Kenya on Matchday one last weekend, Phiri declared that the Super Eagles hold no fear for him, describing the Nigerian team as a spent force living on past glory.

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has chosen not to respond in kind, instead charging his wards to do their talking on the pitch.

And talk they will have to, with their feet. And hardwork. And goals.

Malawi have been boosted by the return of key players who missed the Kenya draw.

Defender and team captain Peter Mponda leads the strong cast of heavyweight returnees which include Harry Nyirenda, Robert Ng'ambi and Chiukepo Msowoya.

Keshi has most of his squad available to him, with just Nnamdi Oduamadi dropping out to injury.

But the team suffered a travel setback when their planned departure on Thursday night was cancelled.

The former skipper will be hoping the setback does not demoralise his team, as it did his predecessor's prior to a critical game against Ethiopia last year.

Nigeria's road record in recent years has been anything but impressive, and Keshi will need to arrest the rot.

One thing is for certain. The Super Eagles cannot lose. Not if they hope to navigate these qualifying series without pressure.

Then again, the Super Eagles and pressure are Siamese twins, almost inseparable.

life_style: I like just one of the pic... guess.

Baba_O: No matter the outcome of this match, Siasia is far better than Keshi. I wonder why a country prefer to blackmail any problem solving ideas. Now Keshi 'the big boss -shior' is there, we'll see the softlanding they will be giving for his failures. shameless and proud people.

GOD_BLESS_U: please where can i watch the game online? You guys should help me, i'm in Bangkok Thailand, any website to watch it please?

adidison: lol ... are you aware Nigeria 0 - Namibia 1 .... Kai, N I G E R I A !!!!
