Guest Roger Kint Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 So is everyone backing him to possibly miss up to 8 games in the new year if he gets a chance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 In my opinion, any of Cameroon, Nigeria, Cote D'Ivoire, and Ghana can go far in this tourney. This is easily the strongest contingent Africa has sent to the World Cup, and with added incentive of it actually being in Africa, things will be interesting. The Ivorians are the strongest at the moment, but things change quickly in Africa. I will say that Africa will have more than one team in the knockout stages this time, for sure. It would be a massive disappointment if not. Nations Cup will be interesting, but last time Ghana were terrible in that but still showed well at the WC. Boubacar Barry still keeping goal for the Ivorians? That fella never fails to make me laugh when he plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest schmuck Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 So is everyone backing him to possibly miss up to 8 games in the new year if he gets a chance? Absolutely, I don't consider Shola a Newcastle player so much as a footballing angel of mercy whom we are privileged to have 1 week of the year let alone 52, let him fly off and do his sweet and holy business wherever he is chosen I say.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I think he's still first choice, yeah. Last time I saw them, they had this new kid, Zogbo, but I think BB is still first choice. Both of them are dodgy as hell, btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOLA,NEDUM ONOUHA,GABBY AGBONLAHOR ETC PLEASE WAIT TO PLAY FOR ENGLAND OR NIGERIAN FANS WILL STONE YOU ! READ THIS TO HELP JOG YOUR MEMORY Ameobi rejects Nigeria cap bid Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), May 1, 2004 Byline: By Miles Starforth Shola ameobi is hoping to force his way into Sven-Goran Eriksson's England plans next season having turned down a fresh approach from his native Nigeria. Under a new FIFA ruling Newcastle United's eight-goal striker could have switched his international allegiance to the Super Eagles this year - despite having turned out for England's Under-21s more than a dozen times. That would have seen Ameobi fast-tracked to senior international football, as Eriksson currently has a number of forwards from which to choose. But Ameobi (pictured) is determined to break into the full England team - and, while flattered by Nigeria's interest, the 22-year-old has politely turned them down. Related Results football ROUND-UP: Shola's future Ameobi, who has made 122 career appearances and scored 23 goals for the Magpies, has set his sights on playing an even bigger role for the club next season when he hopes United will be back in the Champions League. "I have told Nigeria I've made my decision and am going to stick to it," said Ameobi. "Hopefully next season I can play enough for Newcastle United to impress him (Eriksson)." FIFA took the decision to give all players with dual nationalities 12 months in which to change national teams - as long as they have not already represented a country at senior level - and the ruling came into force on January 1 this year. It saw Tottenham Hotspur striker Frederic Kanoute switch to Mali and miss a chunk of Spurs' Premiership campaign through his participation in the African Nations Cup, having represented France at Under-21 level. Ameobi's decision will have been welcomed by Eriksson and his coaching staff, who see the forward as having a big future at international level. He is competing alongside former Under-21 team-mate Jermain Defoe among others for a chance at senior level, where Newcastle United are already represented by Jonathan Woodgate, Kieron Dyer and Jermaine Jenas. Eriksson said: "Shola Ameobi and Jermain Defoe have a real chance of getting into our squad. They are both fine young players and great prospects." And Under-21 coach David Platt added: "If Shola recognises what he's got, all hell could break loose." TWAT!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well its a bit unfair on the lads who got them to the world cup, then someone suddenly showing interest in playing for them now they have qualified. Exactly. The rest of the squad aren't exactly going to welcome him with open arms. It could put a dent in team morale. I've got a higher opinion of Shola's ability than most on here, but I wouldn't have thought he'd be worth the aggravation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
