The NFA Strikes Again
The Nigerian Football Association (NFA) is something alright. I have always marveled at their consistent ability to get exactly nothing right. My first recollection of this peculiar power was an ill-fated bid to host the 2002 World Cup that was over before it even began due to “administrative issues” = “We screwed [...]
Where Do We Stand?
One step closer to SA2010, that’s for sure. Coach Shaibu Amodu is on the receiving end of (very well deserved) praise and admiration. All is well, let champagne flow from the heavens.
So why this insistently nagging feeling that something dire is about to happen? On the merits of it, the [...]
After the First Test
On Sunday, the Super Eagles played the Bafana Bafana in Abuja with great success. On the merit of technical soundness and overwhelming possession (65%) and two first half goals (10′ Ikechuckwu Uche, 44′ Obinna Nwaneri), the Super Eagles dominated South Africa. In the words of Nwankwo Kanu,
Third Time Charm?
Shaibu Amodu was appointed the national team coach last month with the express mandate of qualifying for SA2010. Our qualifying group includes Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone and South Africa, who are already guaranteed a spot in the Cup as host country. Amodu has previously coached the Super Eagles in 1996 and 2002 when [...]

Super Duper Semi Final For Ghana 2008
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. Just a few overly optimistic fans of the Eagles were disappointed. My last post which previewed the game clearly stated my lack of trust in the ability of the [...]
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.
So [...]
Nigeria VS Benin: Eagles Qualifies
In 1999 when Nigeria hosted the U-20 world cup, Coach Fanny Amun the then coach of the Flying Eagles presented a team that in every measure did not meet up with many people’s expectations. Yet was churning out wins one way or the other to progress from match to match despite playing against palpably better [...]
Super Eagles: After the Sekondi Disgrace
12 games gone; 38 goals scored; non by the Nigerian Super Eagles.
I know many readers of this blog may have been waiting patiently to hear what Emmanuel has got to say this time. Truly speaking I was so shocked and needed time to let what happened sink in. Up till this moment I still think [...]
Can Ivory Coast Make The Next Stage?
Everyone seems to be too sure about the Ivoirians qualification after just one game. After defeating Nigeria it is natural for everyone to start thinking they are going to win the title. Experience has shown that when this happens, it usually never comes to pass. But let’s just wait and see.
One can not really say [...]
