Profiles

super eagle lineupIn anticipation of the upcoming qualifiers, I will be doing a series of profiles on Coach Shaibu Amodu’s team. This will include every player, however little their chances of seeing any game time. Most of the profiles will be tongue-in-cheek, but I welcome vigorous discussion (duh, blog!), especially from those who follow the less popular teams and leagues. Check in periodically, as this will be updated as the summer progresses.

By: Emmanuel | February 6th, 2008 | 3 Comments »

The super Eagles got eliminated in the quarter Final Stages of the current AFCON by a not just impressive Ghanaian team but technically sound as well.
