This squad is good, Obiora Nwankwo offers a better option than Mikel in that holding role. He is calm, cool and collected. Can easily disposses opponents from the middle and give killer passes. Mikel is great no doubt but we need Nwankwo for now. I am so happy they did not invite Osaze because of his attitude.

Seriuosly, are you saying Mikel is not in the call-up? Keshi must be sick and killing the motivation of our best players, No nigerian player is better than Mikel in the holding role nor is anyone as active playing at a very high level than Mikel, so what is the yard stick for his ommossion?

1. Vincent Enyeama 2. Joseph Yobo 3. Efe Ambros 4. Elderson Echiejile 5. Nosa Igiebor 6. Obiora Nwankwo 7. Victor Moses 8. Ahmed Musa 9. Ikechukwu Uche 10. Emmanuel Emenike 11. Brown Ideye
If my math is correct, these are eleven different names. Those accusing the editor, Colin Udoh of showing 10 names after writting down 11 should be man enough to apologise. That's what real men do when they discover they are wrong.

This Country is blessed with multiple talents. All the players can not be on the field at the same time, however, if these players get together on time with some seriouse training, We will definitely win the match. May God Bless the Super Eagles.

My fellow compatiots! Mikel is too SLLLLOOOOOOWWWWW. This is Africa where speed plays a very important factor. Plus, he's not so good on artificial turf(which Liberia has). For me, I think this list works. Don't get a headache over Mikel not being there. Just pray and support Keshi for what he is doing.

Loving this! Good to see a coach who's more than happy to remind everyone of us that Nigeria is a country of 160 million people and about 45 million of this number is talented footballers! Game on!
