Nigeria
Profiles
In 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.

Super Duper Semi Final For Ghana 2008

Ghana Vs Nigeria: Preview (Ghana 2008)
Really I am surprised the Ghanaians are rating Nigeria so high. As a Nigerian I want the super Eagles to get past Ghana but within me I don’t think we can achieve it. We have not been inspiring enough. There are so many reasons why I don’t think we can get past the Black stars.
