Super Eagles Final 23-Man Team For Ghana

January 12th, 2008 | By: Emmanuel | 3 Comments »

The final team came out to be just as i had speculated. I had thought we’ll; end up with a six striker squad but was wrong. It turned out to be eight. You can’t really blame Vogts for this selection. No coach will leave out ;his best players for sake of having too many in same position.

Mikel obi is not a player Nigerians look up to much. We’ll have to let him play in the midfield and see how he fares. Seyi Olofinjana, Onyekachi and Etuhu aren’t qualities we can really expect much from. All-in-all, when things get difficult, Kanu, Utaka and Osaze may have to fall back to the midfield despite not being natural midfielders. These are players we can really trust to deliver.So it goes down to exactly as i had predicted in my last post.

well, from this tournament we’ll be able to know if an African team can actually win the world cup. But let me say this, Africa is not looking at winning the world cup. It will be a very tall dream to start thinking about winning the cup. We are looking at a chance of playing in the final. If an African team can do that, it will be a lot of achievement. From there we can start thinking about winning. For now, i guess we’ll just be contented if we can get to the final. Afterall, Brazil wins the world cup in Europe and that wasn’t such a shame.
