Fenham Mag Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Let's be honest, Shola doesn't deserve any sort of career major honour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm so happy for this team. They deserve everything they have gotten. The party was brilliant and the players have done it through hard work not just skill. This is by no means a vintage SE or even the best of the last five years, but they have succeeded where so many others failed. Keshi is an African legend for bringing the trophy back to its rightful destination. The tournament overall was rather poor and the final was a bit of a nonevent, tbf. The Burkinabe were nervous and we should have led by more than 1 at half. I thought our midfield was in control throughout, but they did a good job of pressing Mikel Obi and Mba so the attacking play lacked fluency. It was more grit than anything else at the end. I like parts of our team and Oboabona, Omeruo, Ambrose, Obi, Onazi, Mba, Moses, and Emenike represent a backbone that can be built on for the next five years. This team should win more medals if we let it grow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Shola should never have been invited in the first place. It is ridiculous that Pardew pulled the stunt of not letting him come, though. I'm not keen on him playing for my country, but it is harsh on him to miss out.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Will the home based players move to Europe now? Mba and Oboabona might not go back home, man. They've been fantastic. The rest of them looked rubbish and/or didn't play so I doubt they will ever be heard from again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Try not to think of it as us making Shola miss out on a trophy, more us making sure Nigeria win one. Would have been some shit if Nigeria lost on pens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Let's be real. If Ameobi had been playing for Nigeria they wouldn't have won the competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
