The '96 Olympic team, if that's what you were referring to, were more talented than the '94 World cup team. But the '94 team play better as a team and play better football. The '96 team won matches with talents alone. It was not a well coached team. Bonfrere Jo was a piss poor coach. And he got exposed when he was made the Super Eagles coach.

Nigeria should've become a world powerhouse if our leaders had the foresight to retain Clemence Westerhof after the '94 World Cup. Rather those morons blamed him for our loss to Italy and ran him out of town. Then BonJo turned around and stabbed him at the back angry sad shocked

Thierry Henry described Bergkamp as the most intelligent footballer he's ever played with. And its not just by Henry's opinion- Bergkamp was highly intelligent, more intelligent than Beckham.
In any case it's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Did Henry play with Beckham? Henry said most intelligent he ever played with.

Is this even an argument? European football is not really skill-oriented. They're not really into that,if you have the skills,good bonus. Europeans are generally more Direct teams. The Spanish tiki taka is not core European,notice it is beautifully mixed with flair (typically African huh?), Infact it was talked down on prior to Spain winning the world cup in 2010. Mainly South Americans are into skillful football,very entertaining. Africans too,though asides George Weah that year and the Nigerian teams of the 90's,African teams since then are into playing more with just physicality or no particular approach at other times.

Bros, if talent along wins soccer matches then we'll simply give the World Cup to France and the runners up to Belgium. There's more to a team than talents. Trust me, Uruguay ain't making the semi finals. And I am willing to bet you on that one.

Well, let's just say that Uruguay didn't impress me in their South American qualifiers. They only qualified in the second place because the Argies were disorganized and trying to self destruct plus FIFA decided to stick it to them with that ridiculous ban on Messi. But all in all, I might not be the most objective person to speak on Uruguay sha. My distaste for that team started the day Luis Suarez handball denied Ghana a semi final bet at South Africa 2010 shocked

I am not betting with Uruguay but never say never in football and this is a team with all round world class players.

This is a team that reach the semi finals in 2010 and about 8 of the players are still there.

This is a team that won the 2011 copa America.

As far as I am concerned Belgium hasn't done anything in World football no be name we wan chop,Belgium got bunch of underperforming players.

Promotion chasing Segunda team Real Zaragoza (Ike Uche's former club) signs relatively unknown Nigerian, Igbekeme.

I pray they get promoted so that we have another player in the laliga next season.

Listen, I don't doubt his talent. My argument is that Africa has produced similar if not MORE talented players than anything you'd see in Europe. The only difference is lack of exposure and respect compared to their Euro counterparts.

For instance, Jay Jay Okocha should've played for the biggest football clubs in the world (and received even more recognition) if he were European or even a non-African. And you can say the same thing about Abedi Pele, George Weah, Roger Miller, Patrick Mboma,Joel Tiehi etc.

But common bro for you to call Martinez one of the best manager are u kidding me ?

Martinez drop niangollan and pick players from china,Martinez is a crappy manager.

Gernot rohr will be successful with the Belgium team full with star players

Martinez is not that of a good coach,please stop calling him one of the best
