Segun Adeboye,
student – I don’t think Kanu should have made the list; for me he is
too old. The coach should have given younger players like Victor
Anichebe and Ike Uche a chance. We need a striker like Ike Uche in the
Super Eagles’ team; he is the type of striker that can torment the
Argentine defence, not the likes of Aiyegbeni that the coach has now
settled for.

Akin Akinyemi,
civil engineer – For me, Kanu’s inclusion is still okay, I believe that
we should use this World Cup to send him off after serving the country
very well in the past. I feel he still has a part to play. However, I
am not satisfied with the 23-man list because it is still the same with
Amodu’s. I wonder why the likes of Yobo and Aiyegbeni found their way
into that team. The team may just disappoint us like they did in Angola.

Lukman Abiodun,
estate agent – Kanu is a motivator and can change the course of any
game when he comes in. Although he is old, I think he would perform
well in South Africa because that might be his last national assignment
and he would want to retire on a high. However I don’t like the
inclusion of Aiyegbeni in the team, he looks more like a bank manager
than a footballer .His teammate, Anichebe, would have been a better
choice.

Nkiru Udenze,
student – Kanu has made name for himself already, I don’t think he has
anything to prove again. Younger players that are hungry for fame and
want new clubs should have been taken. He also married and I don’t
think he would have the kind of strength he used to have, let us see
how many games he would be able to play when the World Cup begins.

Nkem Nwolu, trader – The coach knows that he is a good player that is why he chose him.
Kanu is a kind of player that puts his all into the game when he is
playing for Nigeria, those are the kind of players we need. The list is
okay for me it is a mixture of experienced and young players.
