Woowww!!!! A Super Eagles thread with focus on the Afcon........30-something pages already!!!!!! And I'm just seeing this?

Well, better late than never......*smiles*

Great and awesome job u're doing here guys..... I'm totally impressed.

Sir Terzurum5 and Sir Orkpekyandega........... You guys are the bomb!!! Well done!!! *smiles* #IAmLovingThis

krattoss:
I personally think that u are biased.
How on earth will a player dare question a decision of a coach on who to Captain the team?
Coaches decides who plays, who captains, cos he is the boss. Jose mourinho benched cassilas and striped him of the captaincy, notting happened..
At a time between terry and Wayne bridge saga, capello striped terry of his captaincy, heavens didn't fall.
So why the he'll should he cry a wolf over the decision of the NFF and olive, besides reporting late on camp. 101caps and then?
Isn't he been paid bonuses, is somebody not his boss?

At ur place of work do u question ur boss?

ABEGI, SAVE UR RANT FOR ANOTHER DAY.
I am no fan of undisciplined and insubordination.

Orkpekyandega:

You know he lost his mum, ordinarily V. Enyeama doesn't report late to camp.
You don't expect me to begin to run here and there after few days of my mum's burial in the name of national engagements. Even his club Lille gave him two good days for the burial, then why can't we understand with him in this trying moments of his. He is not a stuborn player the way the media wants us to believe. Even when he has clashes with the Coaches/NFF, it was always about the team and not just for himself. To me, he has been a good captain.
Now about the captaincy stuff. If I may ask, what is the rasionale behind Coach Stephen Keshi dropping V. Enyeama?
What offence has he committed to warrant such action. If Oliseh were not acting a scrip, why can't he know that that singulat act of his will affect the whole team? Let him ask Siaone or Keshi what it means to keep fighting players at the expense of the overall objective. And to remember that Oliseh was always criticising Stephen Keshi on player's anger management, why he hasn't done better is a mess. Oliseh should apply diplomacy to earn his players' respect or else fall just like Siaone and Keshi did. I don't pray for that though.

krattoss:
greats should also respect their bosses.

He didn't respect oliseh yet u expect me to respect him.

BascoVanVeli:


Who are you? The man's mother died boss. Even if he slapped the coach he should be excused. This is not about football it is about humanity. Even with his mother's passing he showed up to represent us. The man is a living hero. I have nothing else to say about this thank goodness clearer heads prevailed.

krattoss:
OK, I heard they have settled the rift..
So, let's hope all is settled and didn't affect the team.

But my stance is whether great or mediocre, small or big, everybody is equal. Though some senior players should be giving their maximum.

LET LOVE RULE.

Some Folks on this thread are being sentiment and tribal with their respective views and opinions on the Captaincy saga. Is it because Musa is a Northerner? Or being a Muslim has disqualified him from leading the Team?!
When Dunga is reappointed as the Brazil's Coach, he stripped Thiago Silva of Captaincy and replaced him with a young Lad in Neymar. Does it destabilize the Team? Silva still remains a regular and committed Member of the Team till date!
Enyeama is no more a committed Player to the Team, and his recent actions could confirm the stance. If Musa is made the Captain, he deserves it than any other Senior Players in the Team. Is it Mikel you wanna make the Captain?!
Let's be fair with our views as regard to the issue.

TheSuperNerd:
I have no problems with Musa being made captain even I think it's kinda weird. But hey! Weird is good sometimes....*winks*

My problem lie with how Oliseh went about it. He should have told Enyeama in private before going public.

Look, my views are fully expressed in Safarigirl's latest sports thread dedicated to this matter. Maybe you can go take a look. *smiles*


Meanwhile, Sir Adeyemi, it's been a while..... Hope you're doing good... Ok... Bye now.

isn't it always easy to pull out the sentimental BS card, so we shouldn't criticise Musa's (s)election cuz he's a Northerner? Does Musa look like a leader to you? You're the one bringing in tribe, no one else has brought it in

adeyemi2015:

Does Neymar look like a Leader to you?!

TheSuperNerd:
Of course he is. Sir Ade, Neymar is THE BEST PLAYER IN THE BRAZIL SQUAD. HE'S THE ONE THE TEAM TURNS TO FOR INSPIRATION IN BIG MATCHES.
That's basically why no dust was raised when Tiago silva was stripped of captaincy.

Same goes for Lionel Messi and Argentina when Mascherano was stripped.

But in Musa's case, I have to admit it, THIS ISN'T THE CASE. He's not the best player. He's not the player we look to for inspiration in BIG MATCHES. THIS IS THE TRUTH. THAT'S PART OF WHY I FIND HIS APPOINTMENT AS 'SUBSTANTIVE' CAPTAIN WEIRD.


But hey! I really got no problem with Musa aiiit. The issue here and right now is The attitude and demeanor of the other players(the followership) and Oliseh's authority as coach (this is under threat).

safarigirl:
Neymar looks like a leader. He has charisma, he's no doormat. Musa is a scrawny little thing with no fire, he just laughs off every wrong decision taken against him. Even you that is talking here will find it difficult to obey Musa, me wey be girl sef no fit take that kain pesin seriously, so who'll take him seriously? Oliseh would've made Onazi captain since he wants to give it to small boys now. This team will crumble

If we go by all these analogies then we should not have a captain aside Enyeama .... We don't really have a game winner , a player with good charisma , that can turn d table around in a difficult match .

BlackAlbino6:

How I wish you could kindly go and remove or better still modify your post to something else because you are the one bringing it. One thing i love Nigerians is that, we don't even care to know religion when it comes to sports (football in particular). When a players scores and goes ahead to chan his religions ritual chants or goes to praise his own God in his own way, we still celebraye with person because he/she has brought joy or moment of happiness to us. So just leve that line please. The circumstances surrounding Enyeama's Captaincy removal was just timed wrongly.

Thanks for your observation, and definitely gonna heed to your advice. But to be candid, I am disappointed with many comments against his selection!
Musa is a dedicated and committed Super Eagles Player and I see nothing wrong with his selection. Some said the case of Silva/Neymar is different. The question is how? The same Neymar that cost Brazil the chance of lifting Copa America with his immaturity?!
As I said earlier, gonna modify my post as a reasonable and responsible Nigerian.
