Second big tournament that I can recall with a lesson to be learned from not taking the ball to the corner flag ... Musa from NGR, intent on seeking a second goal, sets the stage for an undeserving Burkina Faso to equalize. Keshi should be PISSED!

I was now coming to post that Musa need to run laps for the rest of the night. Burkina Faso should have never be close enough to score (that is besides the poor finishing by Nigeria)

I once had to do some work in a London School and I'll tell that the most good looking children I have ever seen are Ethiopians,the boys are very handsome and the girls are the prettiest I have ever seen,the Eritreans are just as beautiful.

Players Nigeria playing without in South Africa:

Odemwingie
Shola Ameobi
Danny Shittu
Uche Kalu
Rabiu Ibrahim (brand baller @ WC U-17 and U-20 level who just like his namesake Fuad on the Ethiopian team is struggling to make the jump to senior level: “I just need someone who believes in me and will give me a chance to make a contribution.")
Obafemi Martins.

Quote

"There's nothing personal about this stuff. Odemwingie is a very good player but right now I don't need him. He's a professional and he should be able to accept that. Nigeria is blessed with a lot of good players and we cannot invite every player. We're not in a war with anybody, we're just trying to do our job.

- Steph Keshi (coach)

"Rabiu was outstanding and was a true replica of 'Jay Jay' Okocha if you see him in training, the look, the style of play, but there are better players in the midfield, so he has to go for now."

- Ben Alaiya (spokesperson)

...

What about that youth from the Nigeria U17 tournament a few year ago ,Stanley Okoro . He fall off ?

Hard to say definitively, but it appears that he's merely acclimatising to European conditions. A fair investment has been made in him.

Ah know yuh want more than what wikipedia has to offer so here it is ...

From what I gather, he hasn't made a first team appearance since moving to Spain with Almeria. Because Almeria were relegated from La Liga, their first team plays in La Segunda, but since he's on the reserve squad he actually plays in Segunda B (Third Division). Keshi definitely wasn't calling him fuh this tournament ... considering that he has an abundance of more experienced riches.

According to a 2011 article from El Pais, Okoro didn't make it to Spain until visa issues were cleared up in Nigeria. The Spanish consulate denied his application 4 times. He arrived in Spain with the NGR U-20 WC skipper Azeez who is also contracted to Almeria (but who has made a first team appearance, but still features primarily with the reserve squad) after the club dispatched someone to fix things.

In total iz about 15 months he lost from when Almeria expressed interest in him to .... to surviving the work permit matter ... to stepping foot in Spain.

in response to comparisons to Messi ... his coach said ... he has several tools as a dominantly left-footed player but clearly the Messi thing is not on.

I was most impressed with his speed and technical ability. There is still time for him to build a decent career I feel.

Hear TnT getting dis Africa CAF on tv or anything back home?

Because ah go tell yuh what, I feel young and upcoming footballers (or even seasoned vets) could get some kinda inspiration from watching all dem African (who look just like dem:)) ballers doing all kinda thing on de field.

Maybe I'm way off but maybe watching somebody like 'marasmee' Pitroipa doing he ting might inspire brothas to take it to another level.

I done, I just blabbing now:)
