national teams are not meant for improving or building..the best are chosen..your not good your out

I like how you said it bluntly!

Improve in your clubs so as to be selected in the national team.
Iheanacho was once dumped in Super Eagles team when he wasn't doing well... but after the Leicester game against Manchester United, where he played very well, he was called back to the national team.

There are players being invited to Super Eagles make me believe that maybe the coach or some highranking NFF staff do collect bribes to feature these players. If you're not good to be in the first team or a regular sub in your club, you have no business playing for national team, rather find a new club that will give you regular playing times so as to show what you've got.
Super Eagles should not be used for trials

football intelligence in what regard seem you see yourself as football prof
pls explain prof

Before Peseiro, how would you describe the style of football of the Super Eagles?

Plenty English. We all watch club football week in week out. Mention one deserving GK better than the ones in the team that have not been invited to the national team.

GanagiBitrus:
-2 friendlies.
-3 needless freekicks conceded, 3 goals scored.
-Uzoho was just too poor.

Wonder why a country of over 200m can't produce a good Goalkeeper, when some smaller countries can easily produce 3good goalkeepers.

You need to sort... there's corruption that side too

CJStarz:

Ain't you among the 200 million?

I have done for Nigeria what Uzoho cannot or will not do.
I have played my part and served this country.
There are folks who are paid to get football prospering under far better conditions that I could never dream of.
As a matter of fact they campaign and make all sorts of promises to get there but change very little.
What does it cost them to recognise they have a goalkeeping problem and deal with it.

oloriooko:
As long as Uzoho is in goal for 9ja, we are minus 1, i remember the look Ndidi gave Uzoho when he scored for Saudi, it was a 'you are useless' look
Well victor boniface has come to stay in that team strengthening our attack
but i dare say i cannot see any impressive technical input Paseiro has brought to this team walahi, he's just lucky with the crop of players available now

If you cannot see the change in our passing, our pressing and our deliberate attempt to build from the back and retain possession and dominate teams since Peseiro came in then you obviously have zero intelligence.

MasterJayJay:


It's not about economic might. But comparative advantage.

Nigeria has a large pool of quality footballers. That Uzoho should not in that squad.

Large pool of quality players? Says who?

Where is the large pool? Domestic or Foreign?

Where are the outstanding talents that we have in abundance except in attack?

Till now do we have a quality 10? Iwobi is doing a decent job there.... Who is the alternative? Aribo?

Ok we have good DMs Onyeka and Ndidi.

Defence.... We have good defenders but the defence needs work. We still ship in too many goals.

We don't need to talk about the GKs.... We have a problem there but they are young good keepers and the best we have so we need to stick with them.

It is only in attack we are stacked with talent.

That's why Peseiro is playing 442 or 424 which is the best formation suited to our current strengths.

Capisce?

An avenue to loot. He agrees to the corrupt NFF terms.
The money Nigeria use to hire all these 'unknown' coaches, can actually bring in reputable foreign coach (if we want to use a foreign coach). But the problem is, those reputable foreign coaches won't dance to NFF tune because of their image.
Imagine Morinho as Super Eagles coach... By now you'd be seeing some footballers you never knew and most of these 'known' won't make his team, because he won't accept their bribe over their performance

China has a population of 1.4 billion.

With all their economic might, why can't they produce a quality football team?

I don't think that's a valid comparison. China is very good in several other sporting activities.

Rather compare Nigeria with some other African countries of same soccer pedigree, like Cameroon, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt...

Well, they dominate in their areas of strength.

An exciting game, Naija to the world.

Talk is cheap. Provide better alternatives to Uzoho and Okoye.

Whoever that was the goalkeeper that won National league should be in the team. This is how you identify talents. Or is it because these ones are playing ('benching')abroad?
Okoye (who is German and was introduced to super Eagles by German coach, Rohr) and he has not made appearance for his club this season? Uzoho in Cyprus?

The first goal was so cheap that Uzoho could have handled professionally assuming he had the experience to. But he moved even before the player make contact with the ball. He was focus on the player leg instead of the ball. That was really a cheap goal.

Nigeria have goal keeping issue, and also defence issue.

The weakest link in the team that need to be worked on is goal keeping, defence, and a little work on the midfield. We lack playmaker in our midfield. Attack department is fine and sleek currently as that is the only thing we soar at for now; ability to score. Very paramount.

The coach is doing a great job, he just need to do some little adjustment against January, then we will be good to go.

The general outlook of the super eagle 🦅 team is promising and hopefully we keep it that way.

My 2cents..... Cheers 🍷.

I'm not holding brief for the NFF but they have a technical department and I'm sure they have analyzed all the goalkeepers in the domestic league and provided all the needed info to the coaching crew to make an informed decision on the best keepers for the team.

Don't get me wrong. For a long time I was a fan of Ayenugba, Vanzekim and more recently Ezenwa so I agree we may have some good keepers in the League. However I believe the technical crew has assessed their level and made their recommendations.

I get you.
Having contacts with some Super Eagles players revealed some sh*tty things that go on there.
Simply put... 'money and connections', technicality comes up when we watch them. Unfortunately even if they analyse, which I doubt, their palms need to be greased before you are featured. Unless the player (this time goalkeeper) makes it to a top club abroad, there will be no hesitancy to feature such a player

Okoye is a good GK. I commend him for his patriotism having played all his life in Germany and deciding to pledge his allegiance to Nigeria without anybody coming to convince him to do so! He played as 1st choice in Holland before making a wrong move to England which he is trying to recover from. Let's keep the faith in our young keepers. At least until we identify superior options.

I really wish we still had Carl Ikeme. He was superb but unfortunately cancer struck. Thank God he is still alive today.

Thank God I didn't watch the match!

Any day Nigeria super eagle returns to our good entertaining football, I will return my appetite to watch them.

God bless Emmanuel Babayaro, Austin Okocha, Kanu Nwankwo, Daniel Amokachi, Teslim Fatusi, Finidi George, Wilson Oruma, Mutiu Adepoju, Augustine Eguavoen, Muda Lawal, Emmanuel Amunike, Garba Lawal, Celestine Babayaro, Tijani Babangida, Sunday Oliseh, Taribo West, Peter Rufai, Ike Shorounmu, Vincent Enyeama, Julius Aghahawa, Victor ikpeba, Uche Ochechukwu, Mobi Okparaku, Abiodun Baruwa, Jonathan Akpobore, Kingsley
Obiekwu, Efetobore Sodje Obafemi Martins and the likes who have made us proud in the past.

I only mentioned those who are still alive ooo.

Without doubt there is certainly the Nigerian factor (corruption) in every public establishment.

We can only hope for the best given these constraints which have always been there even on the occasions when we won the Nations cup.

Of the 4 teams you mentioned which of them did not go through the rebuilding stage which we are currently undergoing? Ghana? Ivory coast? Egypt? Cameroon?

What did I just read?
Someone who is 22 years and debuted for Nigeria at the age 18 (in 2019) has played all his life in Germany?
Please which life?
His career was just starting, and Nigeria is a stepping stone. He wouldn't make it to the German national team. Let us stop all these please. He needs Nigeria to boost his.career. He will be seen at the international stage (through World Cup etc.) The fact is he didn't make use of the opportunity to shine, because that will what will attract bigger clubs. Now he's in a club and has not made any appearance this season, yet we are expecting Super Eagles' matches to be the place to train. He has no business in the team. We better use regular club starters (home or abroad) than bench warmers on our goalpost.

BTW, we may not know his connection with Rohr, both are Germans and Rohr brought him in. His mother's name is not on his page.

How can a whole country like Nigeria be struggling in the goal keeping department since the time Carl and enyeama retired. If they don't know what to do, instead of the usual disgrace and getting knocked out of major competition, they should go to the national league pick the best or most promising goal keeper there, and put him between the sticks. If him fvck up him fvck up. We go know say na otu dey fvck up, instead of all these over rated foreign based players wey dey give us malaria hope.

like what and what? Expatriate pls. Chairman, Nigeria disnt sponsor uzoho to go and study goal keeping.

Robertbh:


One good match doesn't make Ozoho a very good goalkeeper. What have both keepers done for club and country?
Both are sitting on the bench in their various clubs. We need a good consistent goalkeeper we can rely on

I know Okoye has not made even one appearance this season.
Is Uzoho not a regular in Cyprus?

Are they hoping to use Super Eagles for real match training?

A regular starter in clubside should be invited as soon as possible
