Super Eagles' Best XI of the Decade: Who is your pick? It has been more than two decades since a Nigerian player won the African Player of the Year crown. But who have been the Super Eagles’ best players of the last decade? Let’s look at my Super Eagles best XI of the last decade. VINCENT ENYEAMA One of the greatest, if not Nigeria’s greatest, goalkeeper of all times, Enyeama is one of only two players who have played over 100 matches for the national team. He took over from Ike Shoronmu and remained the first choice for much of his 13 years with the Super Eagles, where he featured in 4 African Cup of Nations (winning the 2013 edition), 3 World Cups and 1 Confederation Cup tournaments. He made the African XI for 2013 He is yet to be effectively replaced in the Super Eagles 4 years after retirement. JOSEPH YOBO After making his debut for the Super Eagles in 2001 as a right-back, this decade began with Yobo, now a centre-back, as the link between the “old” and the “new” Super Eagles, being one of the leaders of the team after he assumed the role of captain following Kanu Nwankwo’s retirement. He led the team to the 2013 AFCON victory, as well as the 2010 and 2014 World Cups – his second and third appearances at the Mundial, after his World Cup debut in 2002 where he assisted Nigeria’s only goal. He recorded 101 caps for the country and retired in 2014 after the World Cup. UWA ECHIEJILE His ability to man the vacant left back position after the exit of the more aggressive Ifeanyi Udeze and Taye Taiwo was in doubt, but Uwa Echiejile has been the Super Eagles’s first choice for most of the last decade with 59 caps, holding forte until as recently as 2017 when recurring injuries forced him out. He played in the 2010 World Cup but missed out of the 2014 edition to an injury during a pre-tournament friendly. He was a member of the victorious 2013 African Cup of Nations squad in between. EFE AMBROSE Ambrose was a versatile defender in the Super Eagles for about 7 years culminating in his gradual exit due to a loss of club form from 2015. I believe Ambrose was not even at his best at the time he had a regular run in the Eagles, yet he stood out commendably. He was named in the Team of the 2013 African Nations Cup tournament which he helped Nigeria win, and was also a member of the 2013 Confederations Cup and 2014 World Cup squads. KEN OMERUO Omeruo’s potentials showed right from his Under-17 days, but he has suffered an inconsistent career in the Eagles due to a club career that was largely unstable until recently. He has managed over 50 caps since his debut at just 19 years in 2013, and so still has some way to go after featuring prominently in the 2013 Nations Cup victory as well as the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup tournaments. OGENYI ONAZI Onazi has been one of the foundations on which the current Super Eagles has been built though he has fallen out of favour in the last year. His contribution to where the team is today is immeasurable as he has, until recently, been a key member of Gernot Rohr’s rebuilding project. He was a member of the 2013 Nations Cup winning squad and the Confederations Cup squad of the same year. He was also in the Super Eagles team to the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups. JOHN MIKEL OBI Easily Nigeria’s best midfielder of the past decade, Mikel finally threw in the towel on a career that spanned 13 years, after the 2018 World Cup. The team is currently gradually picking up the pieces of his exit. He featured at all Nigeria’s last four African Nations Cups (making the team of the tournament in the 2013 edition which Nigeria won) as well as Nigeria’s last two World Cups in 2014 and 2018, having missed the 2010 World Cup through injury. AHMED MUSA Often erroneously criticized as filling the “northern quota” in the team, Musa has been fully deserving of his place in the Super Eagles for a huge part of the last decade eventually taking over the role of captain from John Mikel Obi. As probably the longest serving member of the team today with 91 caps, Musa is the third most capped Nigerian player ever who is on course to join Yobo and Enyeama with over 100 caps. He however retains enviable records as Nigeria’s highest scorer in the World Cup with four goals, and also being the first and only Nigerian to score two goals in a World Cup match – as well as the first to do this twice, and in two consecutive World Cups! VICTOR MOSES Much as he has been maligned after his sudden retirement from the Super Eagles, Moses’ influence on the team in six years of the past decade remains unparalleled. For several years, the Super Eagles attack lacked bite and incision anytime Moses was not fielded. Like Mikel, the team is still grappling to adequately replace him since 2018. He played in the 2013 nations Cup victory as well as the 2014 and 2018 World Cups, scoring 12 goals in 38 appearances as a winger. He will be remembered for being the catalyst for the recent proliferation of players with dual-nationality in the Eagles, being one of the first to choose an international career with Nigeria despite having played at junior level for another country in the last decade. EMMANUEL EMENIKE His stint in the Super Eagles may have been brief, but it was quite impactful. Emmanuel Emenike emerged out of the blues at the time the Eagles lacked a striker worthy of the name, following the decline of the Aiyegbenis, Martins and Ike Uches. He was the complete contemporary striker, who greatly boosted the Eagles attack and helped Nigeria clinch the 2013 AFCON, nicking the tournament golden boot as well as a place in the tournament XI, along the way. He also featured at the 2014 World Cup and retired from international duties in October 2015. ODION IGHALO Although he started out as “the available option,” due to his impressive stint at Watford in England, Odion Ighalo eventually rose to the occasion and momentarily banished the ghost of Emenike’s retirement. He bore the goal-scoring responsibility for the team with 16 goals in 35 appearances, amidst criticism and even threats, and left when the ovation was loudest – winning the golden boot with 5 goals during the 2019 AFCON in addition to leading the scoring charts with 7 during the qualifying campaign. He featured at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. What's your take house? http://news-af.feednews.com/news/detail/c56b98b9a34774075d24f6307502350c?client=news 1 Like |

Super Falcons’ new coach ready early next year, says Pinnick By Alex Monye 25 December 2019 | 4:11 am The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president, Amaju Pinnick has disclosed that the federation is working round the clock to employ a quality coach for the senior national women team (Super Falcons) early next year. Speaking at the finals of the Oshoala Football Championship For Girls, which ended at the Campos Mini Stadium, Lagos yesterday, Pinnick, who expressed concern over the performance of the Super Falcons in recent times, said the federation was not in any way neglecting the women national teams at any level. He also boasted that the body was on course to take Nigerian football to an enviable height in 2020. While congratulating Asisat Oshoala for the large turn out of girls at the championship, Pinnick said the competition would help attract more girls to football in Nigeria. “The NFF has been having series of meetings to discuss the way forward for our national teams,” he said. “Top on the agenda is getting a new coach for the Super Falcons. With this on the pipeline, I can assure you that a credible coach will be appointed to the Super Falcons soon. The NFF is planning big for the female national team. “On the Oshoala Football Championship, I must commend Oshoala for bringing up this beautiful idea to encourage the girl/child to play football. “When she called me to attend the finals, I could not resist… out of my busy schedule I ensured that I attended the event. “Playing a celebrity game alongside Super Eagles players like Odion Ighalo, Victor Osimhen, Omeruo, Awaziem and Asisat gives me joy. “As the Oshoala Football Championship progresses, I believe it will attract more teams to participate in the female league. The NFF will not relent in supporting the development of Nigerian football in any capacity,” he said. 1 Like |

Why Leicester City's 'Most Important' Player Will Not Join Arsenal In January With the winter transfer window poised to open for business in the coming days, one of the hotly-anticipated stories will be centered around Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi and his links with a move to a top European side. Several fresh reports in the media (whether confirmed or not) had recently emerged re-linking the youngster with a move to Arsenal in January, on the back of his sterling displays for Leicester City, and the Emirates Stadium outfit continue to stutter. While the player's camp has yet to veto the speculation, or even the Gunners manager Mikel Arteta comment on it, it is envisaged that there can be very little chances of the deal happening anytime soon. And the reasons can't be starker. Firstly, the Leicestershire club are currently embarking on an eye-catching project following their impressive start to the season, and have drawn comparisons with their title-winning team of 2016. As a result, Brendan Rodgers is expected to build on the current crop of players, of which Ndidi has been labelled the most important player in the entire squad. Starting 17 of his team's league games so far, he is readily the first name on the club's team sheet on match days. Moreover, the Foxes gaffer has already ruled out such sort of move happening in crystal clear words, thus: "There will be no one leaving in January. Categorically". ''It's pretty clear we want to keep this squad together, it's a very exciting team with a lot of growth and development in it." And then, there can also be little to suggest the player himself will be sold on Arsenal at the moment. There is, perhaps a greater chance of him accomplishing more and having better exploits with the Foxes come the end of the season, rather than leaving midway to join a side currently sinking without trace.

Mickael2: Now u tryna compare the championship with the ligue1? Lol get ur facts right, Osimhen is 20 while Tammy is 22, hence when Tammy was Osimhen's age, he singlehandedly sent Swansea back to the championship, from the EPL. In that regard, at 20, Tammy failed in a team(Swansea), equivalent to what(Lille) Osimhen is currently excelling in, aged 20 also. Hello!!! BTW, Tammy was never the goal king in the championship, at any time.

charlesemeka85: Yes the goal burden rested on his shoulders and he couldn't deliver, hence the ship sank under his watchful eyes. His failure to anchor the ship culminated to his as* being consigned to the bench at the tail end of the season and later sent away to Aston Villa by his parent club. Then, our resident Southgate gave us the excuse that his shoulders were too young for such burden, and to exonerate him even the more, he went as low as having a go at Osimhen by saying that Osimhen wouldn't make the youth team of any of the championship teams. Today, Osimhen is same age Tammy was when he played his first topflight season, while Tammy failed woefully, look how effortlessly Osimhen has shouldered this responsibility, yet this komekn guy still has the temerity to come in here to bleat like a goat as usual 6 Likes |

ChrisKels: Let me first of all point out that you talk a lot of rubbish and really should consider growing up, that is just a medical advice before it turns to a chronic issue. Your last paragraph is easily the stupidest thing you have said this year, and quite frankly that says a lot. Then again, when Tammy was 20 going to 21 he was playing for Aston Villa, second highest goalscorer in the league. Oshimen is going to be 21 in a few days, so you cannot compare this to the season when Tammy was 19 going to 20. Is that clear? Now I tender my unreserved apology for mistaking his position. It turns out he was the second highest goalscorer, does that make you happy? Or does that dispute the fact that based on current projection(again, based on current projections) Oshimen might not score that number of goals? Never mind the fact that he is in the French league. And I am not saying that the championship is better than the Ligue 1, that might be arguable but not my point exactly, however, that was a direct reply to someone who said that when he was Oshimen's age he was shuttling between Chelsea and Swansea. 1 Like |
