One hundred percent record in the first round of the World Cup / African Nations Cup 2010 qualifiers, we need to say kudos to the Super Eagles.
Okay, I'm sure most of you guys saw the match between Bafana Bafana and the Super Eagles on Saturday, to tell you the truth, I was not impressed with the performance of the SE. Sure, three points, but their overall performance was so poor.
Blame it on the bad pitch, blame it on the motivated Bafana Bafana who needed the game badly to qualify for Angola 2010, blame it on the fact that we were playing an away game.
Amodu said, it doesn't matter how they play, getting results is all that counts. True to a certain extent. But when you play a very good team with such a performance, there is no miracle in getting a positive result.
Guys, don't you think some of the so called big boys in the SE should resign to the bench, if they can't stop inviting them.
We need players that are motivated, and I keep repeating this, we do not need tired legs. What I saw on the pitch on Saturday was a lot of tired legs, living on past glory.
I think it is time for Amodu to step up his game and invite active players to the SE. Osaze should be given a start ahead of Utaka (don't know what is wrong with Utaka's game, both at home and in Club).
Ogbuke and Nsofor should be invited. Also some home based players should be invited.
The Verdict.....
What do you guys think is the way forward for the Super Eagles? We have yet another round of qualifying matches for the World Cup, who should be invited and who should be dropped?
I believe a lot of you have something to say about this, drop a line and lets give our verdicts on this.
BTW..Did anyone watch the Soccer Aid match last night? It was between England and the Rest of the World. It was a football match played to raise money for UNICEF for the less privileged children around the world.
The most amazing thing about this match was seeing some celebrities participate, who would have thought Craig David (the singer) is a good footballer, believe me he played so well, though he missed some chances. Then legends like; Alan Shearer (he scored two goals), Luis Figo, Teddy Sheringham, Stam, former Chelsea defender Graham Le Sau, former Brazil striker Romario,Paolo Di Canio, Jamie Redknapp . Some celebrities that took part are; Craig David, GMTV’s Ben Shephard, Dancing on Ice star Kyran Bracken, Nicky Byrne from boyband Westlife, Sex And The City actor Gilles Marini.
It was really a good game, England won by 4 -3.
I'm happy a lot of people can create time to encourage great things like this.
Was wondering why we didn't have any Nigerian in the squad, Okocha should have been invited.
I wonder when Nigerians can support things like this.
Hope you all had a good weekend!
Stay tuned!

You made some valid points.But I agree with Amodu.There are no points for possession only for goals and ultimately wins.
About playing the big guns,it think we will cross that bridge when we get there.Utaka had already been dropped, remember? He wasn't even on the bench for the last 2 games b4 SA match.This was more or less a second chance and it think he has blown it.Osaze,Ogbuke and Nsofor who can all play on the right will surely come in future matches.
Here are my views on all these

cheers
first of all i must say a very big kudos to Amodu and his technical crew they have done a very good job BUT,there are a lot of works to be done if we must present a solid super eagles for 2010 African nations and world cup. Amodu must get this one straight that there are no big names anymore so long as football of this day is concern,what we need in super eagles is not names but people with hunger,people that really want to do it,people that can make us put back our interest in super eagles once again, like someone said in the last Olympic that this a good team that Nigerians can be proud of after USA 94 Squad. l know and l believe if Amodu and his men can bring in the right people not minding names but consistency and form SUPER EAGLES will go far... thats my VERDICT
Once again l said l love u the VERDICT
Thanks y'all. Timaya thank you and I love you too.
Well said and we hope for a better SE.
I trust you The Verdict to say it just as it is. Good stuff! I agree with the other people, we need to bring in more players to the Super Eagles and Amodu need to learn big names do not get the job done.
