The disrespect to VICMO is quite astonishing on this platform.
Giving some folks praise mediocre players like Nwakali, Iheanacho, Iwobi to high heaven on this same platform. Wow!

At Afcon 2013, we were absolutely abysmal in our first two games which we drew.
Our last game against Ethiopia was a must-win but again we were shambolic until Vicmo came into the game after overcoming the injury that sidelined him from the first 2 matches and took the game by the scruff of the neck causing and scoring two penalties to win the game for us.

Without VICMO's contribution, we would have been out in the first round.Against Ivory Coast, we were camped in our half until VICMO took the game to the Ivorians cutting in from the left and unleashing a ferocious shot that Bari managed to save. He kept marauding the Ivorians defense thereby boosting the confidence of the other players.

Against Mali, what more can I say? A career-ending superb dribbling to set up Echiejele for the first goal. He was the Malians tormentor in Chief. In the final, it was his movement, dribbling, and shot that led to Mba's goal that won us the cup. Put respect on VICMO. He also single-handedly took us to the 2018 world cup. Against Algeria and Cameroon, he was unplayable. Our single win against Iceland started with that sumptuous pass from VICMO to Ahmed Musa.

Give a fucking respect to the legend, VICMO!
With VICMO we would have won the last Cup of Nations.

Available options**
1) Osimhen - good quality yet to be proven at Higher quality Seria A.
2) Iheanacho - EPL flop
3) Simon - Good
4) Chukwueze - 3 goals in 37 games, a lot of development work required.
5) Kalu - Ok but not outstanding
6) Onyekuru - Good but unproven at Higher level
7) Musa - EPL flop
Onauchu - unable to justify selection from games played in the SE
9) Dessers. - untested at a higher level
10) Umar - very low quality league ( village champion)
11) Nwaekeme - untested at a higher level
12) Ejuke - untested at a higher level
13) Iwobi - midfielder
14) Kayode - Good potential but untested in SE opportunity not given.


None of these players has attained the level of Ighalo and none of them is better than him. The only player able to contend is Osimhen.

We talk about players in form, what will be Osimhen form in the much more quality and competitive Seria A.

He will not be the focal point of the team and with a ball played into space and or over the top of defenders for him to run onto as the main strategy will simply not work in Seria A. This league is well know for defending and closing spaces.

This is a test that Ighalo has already passed with flying colours, PROVEN, TESTED and CONFIRMED.

If we bring Vic Moses into the equation none of them has played at his level and or exceeded his ability.

Sir,pls who are the Super Eagles legend.

Thanks Bro.
Still don't understand what will make someone of us here think there exist a 20 years old playing in the NPFL

Mere looking at the dude will tell you his true age...oshh so much wish Andrew was here to tell us his true age

Victor Moses did play a major role for us but I hope this also explains to you that he didn't act alone.

In fact i checked and he was playing in the nigerian league at 14 and this is highly suspicious

forgiveness:


But Moses won Samsung fair player of the whole tournament. I don't think Mikel was suppose to win the player of the tournament.

Anyway, from my own perspective, I think Victor Moses was the reason we won that cup. That's my own opinion.

komekn:


None of our players are comparable to these players so why make the comparison.

Until these young pretenders can get to the levels of performance and attainment if Ighalo and VM there is no competition.

Olulong:


Moses was the reason we won??

If victor Moses was that important why was Mikel nominated for African player of the year for that year and Moses was overlooked (despite the fact that they both won the Afcon and Europa league that year)

TheGoodJoe:


Mikel was not supposed to ein best player of Afcon 2013. He was the best player and clearly robbed to suit the mess created by CAF due to their injustice against Pitropa.

TheSuperNerd:
Exactly why I had a quick search done in anticipation of this.

Below is Bleacher report's expert opinion on why Mikel should have been named the Afcon 2013 player of the tournament. Even before the final, they wrote a few articles stating Mikel's importance and predicting he will come big in the final. Well, they got it right. Mikel was the Final MVP.


https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/1524167-why-john-obi-mikel-should-have-been-named-afcon-mvp.amp.html



The last part of the article link above said this below:

As a result, we saw a player we’ve only seen in patches during his time at Chelsea. Robust in a defensive role in front of the back four and imperious on the ball and in his movement, Mikel was the best midfielder on the park in every match he played. That Nigeria so fully deserved their quarterfinal win over Ivory Coast was largely down to him; that the Nigerian attackers had a platform from which to demolish Mali was largely down to him.

That the centre of the park was shut to Burkina Faso’s passing was largely down to him, and Nigeria won the tournament’s showcase match because of it.

There was an array of stars at the 2013 Cup of Nations, and Pitroipa was certainly among them. But Mikel was a supernova. And when he shone, the stars disappeared.

ChrisKels:


What injustice against Jonathan Pitroipa?

forgiveness:


I agree with their opinion Mikel was up to the task against Cote d'Ivoire and Mali but I don't think he should win the MVP.

TheGoodJoe:


Oliseh called it the worst refereeing decision in the history of football.
As far as i was concerned, it was match fixing to get Ghana to the finals gond wrong. Pitroipa was unfairly sent off but Burkina Faso still scaled through.

CAf president Issa Hayatou said.

"Everyone realised that this referee did not officiate well," Hayatou announced on Friday.

"They've told me the referee has sent a letter saying he got it wrong."


" The referee admitted his error in his report given to the (CAF) secretary general (Hicham El Amrani) - he recognised that he had got it wrong."

This is my boy, I call him Nigeria's own version of Andrew Onana.

He is bound to be the best glovesman in the Israeli league next season. He is that good.

Imagine one giving reference to Moses afcon 2013 exploit when we are in 2020?

Their recalled would have been welcomed if we lack decent qualities in the team but judging by the talents we boast of currently I see no space for both

If I were to be Rohr I will even force Musa and balogun to early retirement

Kog45:
Oga Charles,a fit Balogun is better than all these players you mentioned.

Oh if na age matter I for gree my man but I can tell you that Omeruo and likely Awaziem are older than Balogun.

Pls which one be federal character again or are you saying Rohr is collecting bribe.

All Ahmed Musa need is to go back to European league again,forget all these Oyekwuru,Kalu hypes,may be Chuckwueze would be able to do it I don't know...

If I remember vividly Ahmed Musa have four World Cup goals.
