whoever wrote this article got it slightly wrong. teams go through cycles but the fact that a team won a trophy does not mean it is in ascendancy. The key element here is FORM. This team found its form at the right time! I suspect if the team had met any other team apart from ivory coast in the quater final it wouldn't have won the cup. The win against CIV gave the team the needed self-belief and that energised the team into believing they could win the cup. If we are to follow your analysis, shall we say the Zambia team that won the last edition but could not make it past the group stage has suddenly found itself in decline? The Eagles still have a long way to go in order to be a finished product 3 Likes |

I think if the SE keep up this tempo, they can do well in the Confederation cup and the world cup because these events are about one year away and less. We just have to keeps our boys together in training so that they won't lose that unity of purpose. The coach also has to be left to continue. If he resigns then he should be begged to come back and his salary should be doubled. Btw, i can't wait to see the new FIFA rankings. |

Modest target there, and is achievable if all hands are on deck. |
Re: Eagles Next Target : World Cup Semi-Final? by honeric01(m): 1:45pm On Feb 11, 2013 |
careytommy: At least a draw with Spain A win against Uruguay. Trashing of Tahiti. That's all we need. |

HARDDON: Why dis mediocre dream? Why don't we just aim ƒoя d cup? d If you can iмagiпԑ it, you can achieve it . Living prove. You can imagine alot of things but went get nada if you do not prepare right - but you are right. I think Nigeria should not go about saying this is our target. Train and play like you are better than the best. The 1994 team believe that and were ascending until that tourny in South Africa. Words are very powerful and if they opt for second place they will perhaps only achieve 2nd round. Getting in the semi final is not good enough for any good African team anymore - thats very mediocre What i want to see is our footballers doing well at club level, ridding themselves of the Babayaro demons of posing and page 3 girls etc etc Its time for dignity and quite destruction |

The Eagles still have a long way to go in order to be a finished product The guy's analysis is correct... and yes of course the Zambian team is not only declining but nose-diving. The only difference is that they declined incredibly faster than others mentioned in his comment and not that I am wishing them bad but from all indications, their team will diminish further. That team needs some replenishment with few new good players to be up again but they don't have any for now.That means, they will still play their future games with this same guys. The problem is that the barely average Zambian players do not have that inspiration from the spirit of the dead anymore. So now they need real skills to win a tournament, luck or no luck... Just like we have done. All our wins in this tournament had nothing to do with luck, they were all convincing victory. |

The confederation cup should be a priority for now. Only If Keshi decides not to resign. |

Jarus: World Cup Semi Final As Next Target - Before The Gas Runs Out The scenario painted here is true of product life cycle. A football team well managed need not go through the same cycle. All any country needs is to always keep a pool of talents to be trained and brought in to replace tired legs. It is only when a country or a football team allows itself to be exhausted with no plan for replacements that they come down the high pinacle of success. The team we have now can still be a team A, while a Team B and even Team C is put in place and gradually groomed to take over with the passage of time. Have you ever wondered why Brazil has never missed attending the world cup? In Nigeria we will never do the right things because there is money to be made from failure. If Keshi had failed, they would have contracted foreign coaches and started sharing pounds and dollars with that one. I have since given up on this silly contraption call NFF and their parents Nigeria. I hail the super Eagles though for silencing critics. |

I don't see us winning the Confederation Cup, frankly. But a good show like Cameroun in 2003 is enough. |

Table Leg : That's quite pessimistic. Everything happens in the mind bro. If you can think it, then you can be it. |
Re: Eagles Next Target : World Cup Semi-Final? by OmoEziokwu: 3:38pm On Feb 11, 2013 |
shadrach77: italy is the current world cup holder Wrong. Spain is the current cup holder and so they qualify because of that. Spain is also the UEFA champion and so being that they qualify on both premises (being World Cup winners as well), the runner-up (Italy) assumes Europe's representative. In simple terms, Spain cannot qualify as European champions since they are already world champions. 1 Like |
