goldfish80: I did not say Kanu was there purely because of his Olympics heroics. I said, FIFA recognised his Olympics heroics. He was rated as among the best players in the World because of his Ajax and Olympics performances. FIFA also recognised the Atlanta '96 performance of our team. That was why they were rated among the best two teams in the World with Ajax. Kanu's exploits with Ajax and the Nigerian Olympics team was huge. 1 Like |

zicky: Is that the only thing you noticed on Rashidi Yekini's profiles? Sorry, Nigerian Premier league had more value than EPL in 60s,70s and early 80s. Ask Pele and Santo of Brazil, they will tell you about the quality of Nigerian clubs during those era. |

goldfish80: George Weah was amazing at AC Milan. He did not need International football to get to that level. Kanu did. Kanu Nwankwo would not make that list without his Olympics heroics. The simple fact is that, FIFA recognised Kanu's heroics. 2 Likes |

forgiveness: Roger Milla is a legend and we adore his contribution to the development of African football. Compared to Eto'o come on. From the top of my head. Nations cup in Nigeria Ghana 2000. The Sidney Olympics in 2000. The Champions league, La Liga and Copa Del Rey Under Guardiola at Barcelona, the treble under Mourinho at Inter Milan. Haba. Eto'o was remarkable. |

TheGoodJoe: You may go ask any Cameroonian and they will tell you Roger Milla. Because he brought more glory to them than Eto in terms of national team. Why do you think they called an 39 years old man from retirement to represent them in the world cup? |

tbaba1234: If Ovie Ejaria pledges his international future to England, I wish him the best. At least he showed commitment to play for us. I hope he has a great career. That does not mean we are lost. We still have good talents in that role and we can push them ourselves. Players like Ifeanyi Matthew, Obinna Nwobodo, Chidebere Nwakali, Kelechi Nwakali. These are all good players and can help build a great Super Eagles. Even though I wanted Ovie to play for us, I did not think he would walk into our team or have an easy ride. The competition is high. 1 Like |
