| Super Eagles in training in Houston right before the game It was a good game, and I will leave it at just that- Mexico opened the goal lines earlier in the first-half and it was on from there as Nigeria quickly responded with a goal of their own in the same half and right before the end of the second-half, the Super Eagles took the lead however in the second half, Mexico returned the favor by equalizing making it a 2-2 game. In the end, Nigeria came down hard leaving Mexico defending crosses however after 90 +3 minutes of added time, it’s a 2-2 draw for Nigeria and Mexico.

Sam who is half Nigerian and German was at some point interested in switching his international duties from Germany to Nigeria; however, after he was called up for Germany's friendlies against Ecuador and the United States, the Bayer Leverkusen player claimed he never intended to represent the Super Eagles. NFF spokesman Ademola Olajire told BBC Sport: "It's disappointing, disrespectful and not correct.

Forum / Sports / Top Nigerian players in Europe this season |
on: 23-05-2013 09:03 PM
| With the European league reaching its end for the season; it is about time to review some of the performances and contributions made by some of Nigeria’s top stars players in Europe. Nigeria started off 2013 on a good note, winning this year’s African Cup of Nations can only be the beginning of better things to come as the competition not only ended what many prefer to call our dark days in football, but also exposed new and upcoming talents. The likes of Mba, Emenike, and Victor Moses really had their time to shine and they are still basking in that glory as their success in South Africa has apparently spurred them on in their various clubs. The list includes Danny Shittu Victor Anichebe Victor Moses and Mikel Obi Emmanuel Emenike Odion Ighalo Source: http://wasaafrica.blogspot.com/2013/05/top-nigerian-players-in-europe-this.html | | |

on: 8-05-2013 08:41 PM
| Liverpool F.C recently announced that it will take part in a post-season friendly match with Ajax Cape Town in South Africa later this month,precisely on the 21st. However, South Africa's Premier Soccer League (PSL) are putting a stop to the international friendly on the grounds that it would take publicity away from the country's cup final. Ajax Cape Town have been refused permission by the league to play a friendly against the English club in Cape Town on May 21 in a move that was immediately criticized. South Africa’s cup final, sponsored by the banking group Nedbank, completes the season on May 25, four days after the proposed friendly. The last round of league matches is on May 18.
