It could be that, if Taiwo has being forced to go to­ China, the babe Eagles, may be they will not grab the­ Gold, so we should not blame any body about his­ absence.Only BABA Gold knows why it happend like­ that.
But any way sha, i just wish our sweet eagles­ good luck,cause the God of 1996 Olympic will still­ follow them till they come back with the gold to­ Africa. NIGERIA.
Good luck Eagles.
Onyi.... Idumota

shame on MARSELLE, shame on FRENCH caurse they nows­ taiwo is a nigerian for chris sake,shame on FIFA,shame­ on OLYPIC COMMITTEE,and also shame on COACH for not­ have freedom of speach, it happened to other player­ like messi etc

great that nigeria is doing well in there mode of­ playing, big shame to marselle by not wishing nigeria a­ good fortune,the french indirect rule in all contries­ they colonies is still on them,and i will never wish­ marselle good they will never concile any mejor leage­ againg and i wish they goes down to devision two or to­ there regional leage,secondly nigeria national coach­ should be the most stupid boy, he nows what happened to­ messi in barca and so many other player, we need­ everything to win the olypic my dear,leane to speak for­ you right,freedom of speash is not a harme (SHAME ON­ OLYPIC COMMITEE, SHAME ON FIFA,,SHAME ON NFA,and SHAME­ ON NIG COACH,

Shocked on olympic marselle's behavoir.Even as­ their name sounds, they should have known the­ importance of the name "olympic"to any­ country.if nigeria fails to grab a medal they should be­ held responsible.------ from chike.

Taiwo is a great footballer but if Marselle will­ have the power to deny him a place playing for his­ beloved Nation Nigeria in The Olympics, Marselle will­ never have the power to stop Gods wish or miracles for­ our Eagle Boys in China so What will be must be no­ matter what.

he shud b aloud 2 go nd represent is country....caz­ nigeria iz d best.9ja 4 lyf.good luck.

i dont see why marselle couldn't released taiwo

marselle is a very stupid club wat is d reason for­ keeping taiwo they re just trying to slim down the­ cahnces of a black nation winnig the olympics butit­ won't work coz nigeria will go all the way to the­ final

The big question is that were Taiye Taiwo to be French­ and France needed him to play for them at the Olympics,­ would Marseilles have refused to release him? I am sure­ they would not have thought of it. Playing at the­ Olympics would not only have enhanced the player's­ valuation, but it would also have improved the­ clubs' estimation. Such is the club that their­ supporters are wasting their time by trying to raise­ money to buy Drogba. It shows how insensitive they­ could be when it comes to issues of national importance­ to their players. You just lost an opportunity to have­ an Olympics gold medallist play for the club.

Scolari & AC millan knows the importance of­ National call and they allowed Kalou & ronaldino to­ represent their respective nations shame on Marselle­ Leave Taiwo Leave

Taiwo move on from Marselle to a better club, Despite­ the Fact that Barca won an appeal on Messi they still­ allowed him to future for Argentina which made a­ difference, we in Africa do know that french are the­ worst colony in history and so are their clubs slave­ trading is a very common phenomenon. Taiwo move to­ England where the rights of players are better­ protected

common nigeriam win i want you to be japan and usa and­ also win the quarter final, semi-final and the final of­ the olympic gold medal.

shame on Marselle as wellas to the FIFA for not giving­ chance to a youngster like Taye
to join his fellow­ sters to fight for medal for his country.shame on­ europe clubs for using our african players as your­ working tools.HASSAN

Why did Marseille release him to play qualifiers only­ for them to turn around and refuse him the chance to­ play in the Olympics proper ? Do we say they are I****s­ or just plain R*****s ! Come to think of it, did the­ French qualify for Mens Football at this Olympics ? One­ wonders... Shame on FIFA, Shame one MARSEILLE ! Shame­ on NF(F), as usual, Clueless A****s !!!

of course marselle shld bow their head down in shame­ for not doing what is right. when they have an English,­ Italian or a Brazilian player in their team they should­ do same. I bet you FIFA would come fighting like a­ wounded lion to get the right thing done. Shame on FIFA­ as well for failing to re enforce their own rules­ governing the game. SELASI.

Ronaldo was accused of wanting to leave man united for­ money. Taiwo is not being released to play for his­ country for honour. Clubs have always been disloyal to­ players who they use and dump. Players should look­ after themselves and take the best deal they can get in­ terms of money, respect and a future. Thumbs down to­ olympique marseille

bad precedence from the clubs and the court. One­ wonders if Marselle can refuse a French national to­ play for his country.
