A good start i must confess. Let the team shun the usual "we'v gotten there, lets relax small" attitude.

I wish the team the best and an injury free season.

FIFA ranking should be scrapped

Wetin corn-sign me.






Etinanguy

Sekem! Sekem!!

This is good for Nigeria based on the teams latest performance. However, i still wonder how Argentina still got the number one position based on their latest poor performance and losses !!!! . Click like if you think Nigeria deserve the latest ranking and share if you think otherwise.

The poster up there... U r strong o... I can't have people watching my babe twerk... Nd den dem go de imagine how sh go sweet for doggy style.... Naaahhh.... I just can't... No offence intended tho

I don't even bother looking at these rankings anymore.

8 best team in Africa.......still poor

if fifa likes. .. let them make us the last.. we will remain strong. . in case they don't know.. ..all the citizens are more educated than the president yet we remain strong. ... we are now in over - recession yet we remain strong.... our president is clueless yet we remain strong. . oboko rams are killing yet we remain strong. ... hopeless biafrans are making noise yet we remain strong... the afonjas remain lazy yet we remain strong... the shites are trying nonsense yet we remain strong. .. now most family eats rice only on sunday yet we remain strong... our money is almost valueless yet we remain strong..... we don't have this year and probably next year's budget yet we and will remain strong.... ASUU strikes more than thunder yet we remain strong... no employment yet we remain strong... no food to eat yet we remain strong. .. kidnappers and adultnappers everywhere yet we remain strong... and many more... tell me which country can survive half of these stuffs so who cares where they put our team in terms of ranking cos we will remain strong

For those who were shouting Nigeria doesn't need a foreign coach, we must use a local one bla bla bla. I feel Gernot Rohr have shown that what we needed all this while is a competent coach and nothing else. We were not short of quality players. We just lacked a good, qualified and tactical coach. I mean, the Eagles are a delight to watch now. Away to Zambia was a tactical master piece, so was the match against The Desert Foxes in Uyo. That was a game we would have been beaten by the Algerians. Bottom line is, the NFF made a good decision in getting a good coach, irrespective of where he comes from, and we are reaping the benefits now.

Agunechemba1:
FIFA ranking should be scrapped

what are you saying

This is a welcome development

NFF welcome back to our glorious days



Kudos Rohr and the boys


Gone are the days of heart breaks


We can celebrate now after Nigeria matches

ALL THANKS TO MIKEL OBI..HE KNOWS HIS JOB

Modified:

Tinubu and Atiku should stop bringing Nigeria down just because of their selfish 2019 ambitions...

Okay

Nigeria is More than what it is ranked.
