Stegomiah: [b]I think he is being sarcastic with his comments, no one gave the super eagles a chance, especially considering the fact that they had to face ivorycoast in the Q.F's, ​ and i for one believe if we have many key players like onazi, moses and emmenike in the confederations cup, we will atleast reach the quarterfinals of the competition.

Yes, the individual skills(lyk we had in okochas dayz is no more there), the flair is no more there, their game is slow, he was right, but by far keshi will go down in history as one of the best coaches in African football, no one woud have given the homebased players a chance, yet he was able to integrate them into †ђξ team, he blended them wit their foreign professionals and made them a important part of the squad, he is also a disciplinarian, and someone who brings the best out of his players, mikel has never been this good under any previous national team coach, no one knows mba before keshi era...

Lest, i forget he has never lost any match prior to the confed cup in brazil, and yet to lose to an african opponent, dats impressive, face it mr. Bonfere jo, stephen keshi is a better coach than you were, than you are and than you would ever be, that's the bitter truth!

Enjoy your retirement sire! Watch the super eagles qualify for the world cup, perform well at the competition, and hoopefully win the competition. As for me and many other naija football fans, we are happy and impressed with the team, your opinion does not matter.

damosky12:
we seem to play very well you said. You also said we arnt 'tactically' or 'technically' sound. Then, how on earth do we play well?

spade: The kind of replies I'm seeing on this thread, like "bad belle old man", has made me realize this country is plagued with bloody illiterates and ignoramuses. "The 2go Clan" is what I call 'em.

A lot of you iidiots, I'm very sure; didn't even care to read the report. Only saw the thread title and jumped in with your nonsensical retorts.
How else can I explain the fact that you FAILED to see the title had very little to do with his comments? How else can I explain that Bonfere was infact making very good points about rot in the NFF and its lack of interest in actually doing its job, leaving the coaches to do everything and get fired? Was this not what Keshi faced earlier this year when the unpatriotic NFF already started searching for a foreign coach (their self-hating black assses) when Keshi and the Eagles were STILL in South Africa?

You bloody pieces of decomposing turd just came in here spewing TRASH without even reading the interview!

Biko, how did he do wrong by encouraging Keshi to also occassionally visit his players in the respective clubs and watch them play? How the phuck did he do wrong there?

Christian Chukwu and Shuaibu Amodu were two coaches who bowed to the corrupt NFF, did their bidding, and STILL got fired.

If Keshi fails tomorrow, a lot of you fairweather fans would also be here bashing him with your grammatically abominable writings, yet you're right here today insulting a man and his constructive criticism.

I am surrounded by dullards, oh Lord!

Yes I agree with Jo.GREENS We are still not technically sound. The same reason why we burnt plenty of energy against Spain in the last match against them. We seems to play very well but tactically and technically, we are below average. We will always fall prey to technically sound team. NOT ENGLAND O

belovedbest: I pray he atleast take the positive from Jo's comment and decard the rest without necessarily picking up a fight with him. There's always one thing or the other to pick from either a successful man or a failure as the case may be. That's how a star is made, steal from the best and add that to yours. No man is an HIGHLAND![color=#006600][/color]

prem love: Since you know everything you would have won the world cup for us bck then. enemy of progress

Goke7:

Destructive criticism is what Bonfere is doing here, bring out issues from the past to hurt Keshi and concluding that Keshi will not even listen to him, how long are going to continue to support these white dudes against our indigenous coaches. Ethiopia that has done well so far in the world cup qualifiers is being handled by an indigenous coach. Are we also trying to conclude with Bonfere that Keshi will fail?

I really don't understand us Nigerians, we don't know what we want.

spongeback: Are you always so stup1d or is today a special occasion?

Babzilla:
STOP PLAYING THE RACE CARD HERE
IF U GOT ISSUES WITH WHITE PPLE GO AND DEAL WITH THEM
( WITH MY BLESSINGS TOO)
B. J SAID A LOT SO DID OLISEH @ 1 POINT
SOME THINGS I DONT APPROVE OF
BUT ARE THERE LESSONS ONE CAN LEARN FROM? HELL YEAH
THATS HOW 2 BECOME A BETTER PERSON
SMH

Goke7:

Bonfere and Oliseh should first of all win the AFCON trophy before they open their wide mouth to criticize Keshi, I've got no issues with white dudes, but they must prove to be far better for us to learn from, if Alex ferguson is talking, I know somebody is talking. You need to hear what the Spanish coach and the Uruguay coach said about the Super Eagles after their matches with Nigeria at the confederation's Cup. Bonfere is just a learner, what has achieved since he left Nigeria.

breezy047:

It is a huge difference between.

When you face a highly technical team (not necessarily a talented team) that will absorb all your pressure neatly, arrangedly choke their midfield, play cohesively and block off all your meaningful passes in their own half, working together as a team (attacking and defending as a team). . .then you realise that you have played almost 90 mins on the pitch, sweating profusely, pressing hard and yet not no single goal to show for it. . .

Such teams are a hard (tough) nut to crack. . .

And what's dangeroous about them is that they know exactly when the time is right (maybe the last 10 mins of the game) to come out of the shell and dangerously attempt a goal which could stun you.

Such technical teams don't rely on open play only to get their goal. . .

They know how to counter attack effectively, they rely on set-pieces, corner-kicks, crosses from the wings and sometimes long balls from the midfield.

They could play defensively for 90mins while you huff and puff around the pitch and still beat you 1-0 by scoring only from a well organized corner-kick.

Some of what Bonfere said up there should be thrown into the dustbin. . .but he's right when he says Nigeria is not there yet technically.

Improve on your organisation when take a free-kick, corrner kick or when you launch crosses from the wings. When last did Naija score from a neat header?

Some games ahead will be very tight where all our samba-samba passing might seem unproductive. . .

In such cases we could still manage a slim win from a set-piece if we are technical enough. . .most especially with a BIG MAN like Emenike or Amoebi upfront.

teejohn247: go watch Nigeria Vs catalonia game again, den u'll see how we soaked up pressure 4 full 90minutes, we scored from d only chance we got, and they(catalonia) got there goal from d penalty spot. D only missing link in our team now is in dead ball situations. free kicks and corner kicks daz all

god_of_music: I'm sorry to derail but i gotta ask this question;
Is Ne-yo really a Nigerian

Goke7: I think Keshi's greatest problem is that he keeps grinding out positive results even when many are wishing him failure, When he finally qualifies for the world cup, people are still going to open their wide mouth and complain that his team is too slow.

even if keshi wins the world cup, people are still going to complain that there are players out there that can still make better contributions to the team, men, keshi don suffer no be small.

Its like telling someone who came out of school with first class grade that he should have done better

I no fit laugh abeg lol!

A champion is a CHAMPION! whether the players are strolling on the pitch or crawling.
