Chaaaiiiiii.... our team young die.... abeg... let our team grow quickly biko... Hahahahahahahahaha.....




P.S: Chief Icon4s... hope you can see the quality of Ekambi.... good player indeed. Told you he is another option in attack but Aboubakar remains their no.1

delana:
To think African champions are losing to this young German side shows African football has a long way to go

Icon4s:


Yeah. But overall Cameroon does not have good strikers.

Icon4s:


Imagine, 5 of the players that started that SA game were 20year olds. Others like Iwobi 21, Shehu 23, Ekong 23, Kayode came in 23yr, Musa 23, Osimhen 18. That was supposed to be the team we would have sent to Rio last year if not for the massive withdrawals. Echijile, Onazi and Ekpeyi would have passed for the 3 over-aged players.

Icon4s:


Yeah Patrick Ekeng-Ekeng died I think last year.
He collapsed on the pitch

TheSuperNerd:
True talk.... It is on record as the youngest African XI to play a competitive Fifa fixture at senior level.

Such a young team we paraded with huge potentials but experience is always a super factor for every balanced side. Hopefully we grow better after that SA mishap.



Germany's team to this Confed cup is far more experienced than the Nigerian XI that started against SA.

Icon4s:
This Ondoa is a very good goalkeeper.

TheGoodJoe:


Three of the experienced players caused the team problems in that game. The term to use is top quality and not experience.

TheSuperNerd:
Looooollll...
I really don't wanna talk about those three abeg... We don overflog the matter already... Hahahahahahahahaha


So lemme just say I meant, "Top quality Experience- in balanced proportions"

Icon4s:


No need to be political here.

When even Rohr himself admitted the team lost due to Gross inexperience.

I guess the word 'experience' should be deleted from the English dictionary.

Hmmm Una dey try ooo, dis past week jst strong like dis for me, but oluwa see me thru, thanks JEH for his mercies

TheSuperNerd:
Awwwwwwn.... Sir Do4luv14.... hope you are much better now...

Great to know you pulled through okay.... it is well.

But how is your recovery rate now?

kennysville:
I have a question! It might as well be a food for thought. Why dont NFF have football development project the same way Germany is having for the last 15 years?

I believe NFF should engage our foreign technical adviser to assemble best legs in the local league, and kind of make them into a club playing in the professional league. That way, we have a ready gelled team. Heck, we can assemble them so as to blend very well. A team that plays together under the tutelage of a quality foreign tech adviser will have all his ideas drilled into the team. A good team to start with will be NPFL all stars.
If NFF will not make it into their avenue for Siphoning money and will really be interested in the development of soccer, I think we will have a good team on our hands and there will be good home grown talents with technical input.
What yall think? Anyone?

do4luv14:


still getting strong, actually went to church today thought very late, my first outing since Tuesday,

also, the lose of a dear uncle

do4luv14:


you actually don't see that happening do you,
this is Africa, Nigeria for that matter, where the present Nff started a program, that will take 10-15 years to yield dividend, then you don't trust the new NFF who will assume office in two years time to carry on do you

TheSuperNerd:
Okay Sir... but wow! you haven't left your home since Tuesday.... woah!

That's quite serious... thanks Goodness you are back on your feet again. But please don't stress yourself too much now okay.... take things a little easy with yourself.

How about drugs? You may have to give thoughts to seeing a doc close to your area or known to you so as to assess your health and know what drugs you need okay.

And again... my condolences on your uncle's departure. It is well My good man. I know the psychological effect of that loss makes the illness even worse but Be strong okay... You got a life of beauty ahead of you My Friend.


Plsss man... be strong abeg... Don't want you having a relapse of what you are gradually recuperating from.

I should ask what "illness/infirmity" it is but I don't wanna get too personal as I understand you won't wanna reveal so many personal stuffs online.

It is well okay.

My KO man... plsss recover oooo... do you want the First lady to see you like this?

kennysville:


Quite frankly? Honestly? Er.... No . I dont see it happening. The same NFF that couldnt take delivery of Caf balls for an Afcon match? Leaves its teams stranded, high and dry? Sabotage well meaning individuals?

I was only musing out loud and stirring up some thought provoking conversation, hoping that someone will see this as an idea to be considered.

TheSuperNerd:
If you like count it as one.... Fact is he scored three as a starting CF in those games. Those are what the records state okay. And there is nothing you, me or anyone can do about it.


You asked for how many goals and I gave you his stats, now you ask for how many matches... next question will be how many competitive matches has he scored in?

Oga... like it or not... Nacho is the best CF we have for now and by far our best goals scorer upfront.
That is the painful truth for you but the simple truth for some of us.

Nacho is also our finest and most lethal finisher. None of the CF options we have can be trusted to finish the way Nacho does and with emphasis too. His deadliness is well underlined... best goals ratio in World's toughest league since August 2015 no be beans biko! A few bad games does not change that or dampen such quality.

komekn:


Consider the highlighted text in bold.

I am truly at loss as to what you are trying to prove. KC is an excellent striker no doubt world class only time will. Is he among the top 10 strikers in the EPL, I have my doubts.

Statistics when used correctly can be absolute but at other times they are indicative. KC has played 64 games for City and scored 21.

As a ratio of goals to games it's very good but it's not amazing. So what exactly are you trying to say that he is ahead of Aguero or new boy Gabriel who has played 11 games and scored 7. But to say he is the best is stretching patriotism in the name of, I must support my Nigerian player.

The way you use the stats is misleading to put it lightly. I want to presume you are using a ratio of minutes played to goals scored. If that is the case it's a weak use of statistics as a basis for true quality. In this regard it is only telling half the story.

Everybody manager wants to win and will generally play thier best players for the system they adopt.

KC is a very good work in progress he has done very well. I do feel his true test of quality, resilience and adaptability will be when he leads the forward line at Leicester and West Ham or even Swansea. He needs games to develop.

Finally with regards to Osimhen until he proves he can cut it in his club. Wolfsburg is far from the elite in European football and as such if he cannot cut it there and be a first team regular, he is not a consideration in my book.

Moise Kean is 17 has already played for first team at Juventus incidentally he was born in Italy. I say this cause I initially had doubts about his age. But here is a teenager that is showing outstanding and undoubted top class at such a young age. This is the kind of class our teenagers need to show before we start calling them new Neymar or Drogba, etc.

Rumours are that Arsenal are on his radar amongst quite a few other top clubs.

stop the griping's it. Isn't their fault they are trying their best, what you should be asking is what had the sport minister done so far, nothing,

the point you stated can happen to any federation not jst Nff alone, they had been trying all over heir programs had been for the development of our coaches, referees, and by extension the league,

by partnering and sending our coaches out for attachment,
nut those thing need money and backing wich dey don't have, even the coaches salary had been anoda thing,

business. They keep pressing on, if I am not mistaken, AIITO is their second sponsor, after the first pull out, due to sport minister backed Giwa,

las-Las, nobody or organization is perfect
