safarigirl:What Mickael2 really picked on was on the word 'pea brain'. Safarigirl, biko Let's treat each other with brotherliness but if that's not possible then at least civility. Sometimes we all throw words that hurt others but I believe that we have reached some degree of cordiality with each other discussing regularly here, so let's try as much as possible to do away with hurtful words. Mickael2 you wanted to correct her. Good but there was no need for the dig as per 'what have you achieved in life'. Both of you were missed after the Argentina match. It won't be good if you both now start jabbing each other. Cheers my people. We are together 4 Likes 1 Share |

Mujtahida: Chairman, the spirit of your argument is spot on. Just to set the records clear and further buttress your points. We had two players in the La Liga Wifred Agbonibasket (Rayo Vallecano) and Mutiu Adepoju (Racing Santander), we even had one player in a top 3 team in 1993 EPL season (Norwich) Efan Ekoku and we didn't take players like John Salako and Chris Armstrong who were also in the EPL at that time. Mike Obiku and Richard Owubokiri (Boavista, Portugal) wasn't even considered. Back to the matter, the players in the La Liga and EPL were not even part of the first 11 and yet this team was rated as No 5 in the world and the most entertaining team (if am not mistaken) at the US 94 world cup. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Kog45:Look at the 'yeye yeye' clubs the guys were playing for yet till date they've set the highest benchmark with which we measure every other SE team. It is even the good opinion of many here that of our current first eleven only Mikel and Moses will make the BENCH into that team. So the criteria of best players playing in the best clubs in the best leagues is not the absolute, unerring criteria with which to select players for the national team. 1 Like |

Case closed. Osimhen too. On the day, it's not your club credentials that would save you whether best team, best league or worst team, worst league but your performance. |

Mujtahida: Absolutely correct!!!! His first match was against Burkina Faso in lagos, he was still home based, playing for Sharks if I recall well, he terrorized my darling sooting stars then before he left for Ajax and he made the team to the 1992 nations cup. If not for village arrow to Mosis Kpakor, he probably would have been at the world cup, he got injured in his 'farewell' game for BCC lions on his way to PSV. Abedi Pele played against him in one of the Nations cup qualifiers and was like where did he come from. I once told the story of the Nigeria 1990 nations cup team where our foreign based players for some reasons weren't available to feature for us. Westerhoff then took largely untested home based players, the likes of Uche Ukechukwu Alloy Agu Ben Iroha Daniel Amokachi Friday Elahor Mosis Kpakpor with a few experienced African based Yekini, Nigerian based Ayo Ogunlana, Andrew Uwe, Ademola Adesina (had to stop playing for the local boy Friday Elahor), Baldwin Bazuaye, Toyin Ayinla, Herbert Anijekwu etc) They got trashed seriously in the opening game 5-1, but these guys got all the way to the final and were unlucky to lose (1-0) in the final to the Rabah Madger inspired Algerian team who were also the hosts. I strongly believe that the club you play for is not an ABSOLUTE!!!! History they say is the best predictor of the future!!! 3 Likes |

Mujtahida:Yes Finidi was home based player,made his debut as a substitute for fumbling Eguavoen against Burkina Faso in the first half and made Yekini to score 4 goals in that match.I remember eagles track suit trousers needed to be cut cos the shorts were left behind in the hotel. Finidi a home based shut the door on Tijani Babangida who was already a professional with Roda JC. Amuneke was with Zamalek and Ikpeba find it difficult to break into XI Richard Owubokiri a great striker and one of the best in Europe couldn't make Eagles The same thing Mike Obiku of Feyenord despite his goal scoring find it difficult to displace the likes of Siasia, Amokachie to talk of big goon Yekini. Chris Ohenhen a solid striker with Compostela in LA liga but couldn't make the team. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: It is essentially a matter of preference. Firstly, he is the most expensive midfielder in the World no argument. Then we can move to attributes, who is the best box to box midfielder in the World. My opinion is Pogba. The players you mention have outstanding attributes suitable to particular system and style that is very technically astute. Pogba is the new model of Yaya Toure for me can do everything. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: I was in Nigeria this period. I also know that our leagues were not depleted or corrupted with money politics, etc. As it stands our players have one objective to leave Nigeria even if it means going to Vietnam or Quatar. In the entire footballing history of Nigeria we have never had so many players outside the nation than at this time. There has been a complete PARADIGM SHIFT in football compared to the 1990 era. So those comparison are no longer applicable. Tings don change. |

komekn: I totally agree with your comments about Pogba as the new model of Yaya Toure, absolutely spot on. Another fact is Pogba has gotten to that level in a much shorter span of time when compared to Yaya who was much older before he got to his high octane box-to box midfield play. 1 Like |

komekn: Very true times have changed. But the fact is in 1994, there was a certain Richard Owubokiri in Portugal, John Salako in the EPL and Chris Armstrong who both declined to feature for us and where not in our world cup squad. Was our team in 1994 exceptional? Answer is a big resounding yes!!!!!!! Fast forward to 2013, a home-based Oboabona, a young Omeruo benched Joseph Yobo!!! a home-based player Stephen Mba took the foreign based professional's slot Nosa Igiebor and stole the headlines in the Nations Cup finals. The established stars, IK Uche and Yobo had to stay happy on the bench. Our best player at that time Osaze wasn't even in the squad, yet we won the Nations Cup. Mikel assisted by the young Onazi outplayed the unplayable Yaya toure in midfield!!!! complemented with Drogba, Kolo Toure etc in the Ivorien team. In conclusion sir, the more things change (times) the more they stay the same!!!!! Give us our backwater league players, so long as the team is successful, what else!!!!! 1 Like |
