Though the kind of scandalous scores have been seen in the past, was in a tiny southern African country, Madagascar, when a team lost by an unbelievable score of 149-0 in 2002.Below are some of them:1885: Arbroath 36-0 Bon Accord (Scotland)1995: Man Utd 9-0 Ipswich Town (Premier League record)2001: Australia 31-0 American Samoa (World Cup qualifier)2002: AS Adema 149-0 Stade Olympique L'Emyrne

I know I should not let the way I feel or my own personal misgivings affect the way I analyze matters concerning the super eagles. I have abandoned this blog for so long ever since Samson Siasia was sacked and I really felt like there was nothing to talk about Nigerian football. Now you need to understand with me. I am not a football journalist but a blogger and not just that, a football fan and

PARIS — Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye out performed all other Africa footballers in top European football leagues at the weekend with a brace for French club Sochaux. Ideye, who played in his homeland and Switzerland before joining the club from the eastern France industrial city, struck the first and last goals in a 4-0 win at Bordeaux that boosted hopes of a Europa League slot next season.

Oh yeah! What's the big deal?  What's all the noise about Siasia earning N3M/month? When did we start hating to love ourselves so much? I know we can draw similarities from Europe, though we have seen some of them employing austerity measures, but common. Siasia for all i care has got more to offer Nigerians than the so-called honourable Senators in Abuja, even more than Mr. Goodluck

            I went online this morning for the usual ritual of FaceBooking and I came across a friend’s status update where he was particularly impressed by the U-20 Eagles success. The argument that drew my attention was that, this was just another set of over-aged players set to keep us in perpetual sadness

In 1994, Maradona's tactics was to fall at every touch and that earned Nigeria so many yellow cards i lost count. With his current antics, it seems to me maradona has instructed messi to adopt that method. Maradona is quoted to have described african teams as rough. Is this a bid to gain favour from the referees? Lagerback should better watch out! Maradona has already started the match off pitch.

It started with Rio Ferdinand, Michael Essien, Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack, Mikel Obi and just today, the latest star to

Some people believe that Lionel MESSI is one of the best ever.However still has to achieve things that others before him achived to be considered a legend. Messi is surrounded by one of the most talented squads in in the world and the talent at Barcelona is a key factor in his constant rise and rise unlike Maradona. That is not to take anything away from the current world Player of the year.

Again Kanu Nwankwo made the 44-man list of the new coach, at a time every football fan in Nigeria thinks he should call it quits.

Lionel MESSI has become a phenomenon of some sort in recent times. Followers of the Primera Liga have always known him to be impossible but what was left of the gen pop who new him not came to the know a few weeks ago when in his characteristic displays, he single handedly took Arsenal FC to the cleaners at the Camp Nou during the return leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarter Final.

Nigerian football has lost several talented Nigerians to other countries and it is not as if this is a new trend. The likes of Osadebe, Emmanuel Adebayor, Omotosho, and many others to mention just a few. In those days, we did not really care as a nation, the rate at which we were losing players to even fellow African Countries because, in those good old days Nigeria could afford to present two

Everyone is talking about this and that of the decade as we approach 2010. Because of my obsession for football, i thought i should also do something of the decade. And what came into my mind was "Premier League 11 of the Decade". Now i was faced with the snag of making my selection without having anyone criticize me for leaving out their own legends.Luckily for me, i came across a similar effort
