[size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt]we are simply over-rated old eagles that have never flown in the sky.[/size][/size][/size]

The Super Eagles failed to fly!!!

You mean Super Chickens!!
Chickens do not fly!!

Thug Life:

Supposing we won,will you guys be talking about all this

I never believed these guys could do much cos they never clicked to me. The thing is that this selfishness we call patriotism keep pushing one to believe

miracles could happen.
So it is just arsenal scaping a win at Aston Villa, I will be happy but I will not the best though.

Thug Life:

Supposing we won,will you guys be talking about all this

wetin we wan take win?
weak shots from 3 supposed attackers
actually, we lucky say we no lose.

Uche2nna:

We just have to sit down and look @ what I call the Westerhoff formula. I am not saying we bring him back but we should really go back and study how he did things. I don't think that it is just a mere co incidence that the Golden years of Nigerian football was in his era and even the glory that we have been living on was just the continuation of the groundwork he had laid. Just like everything in Nigeria, that groundwork has been broken and the center can not hold. This is really sad.


Last I heard, the man (Westerhoff was still in Nigeria, Kwara state to be precise)

@Uche2Nna

You really know what the "Westerhoff formular" was? Longevity,plain and simple.Westerhoff was given time and space to build a team,no interferences from above.He had powerful allies at Dodan Barracks who ensured he always had his way.

He,like Vogts ,started poorly but he was given the necessary tools to build a team.

There is another point we should also note.The quality of national team football has grown tremendously throughout Africa.Its not just Nigeria that is struggling,look at Cameroun and Morrocco.Gone are the days when only few African teams can put out good teams.With opportunities to export players to Europe,countries like Mali and Guniea have been able to improve national team standards.

That is why we need to step up our game.Its not about sacking the coach(we have done that a lot post-Westerhoff) or simply swapping one set of under-performing players for another.We need to overhaul things from the bottom up.Starting with the youth set-up.No point winning the World U-17 with a group of aging buffoons when they won't be around in 10 years time.

Open up academies around the country,improve and standardise coaching and facilities.

This is just small part of what we need to do but its a start.Till then,we can do all the sackings we always do but until the above are done,including a return to the way we handled Westerhoff(non-interference and patience)we are going no where.

I don't understand though. How about all those boys wey come second for U-20
and the U-17 boys?

So make nobody tell me say talent no dey come thru

We might not have the most exciting players. . .but we are not as bad as that team played today.

So we lost  

all of una wey dey call for westerhoff forgot all the fruitless years
wey we endure before the heady days of '94.

Those guys looked good because we were age cheating on monumental level.That is part of our problem.People were rejoicing when we cheated our way to victory in the U-17 but we do so at the expense of the most important aspect of our football-the senior team.

which fruitless years. . . he won the silver in I990, bronze I992, gold I994, + world cup 2nd round. where are the fruitless years you talk about.

if the eagles played well today and lost, we will understand that they ran out of luck. they played badly, the worst i've watched since my childhood(i'm 65yrs old )

they cant trap
cant run
cant pass
cant shoot
you begin to wonder what they can do

i have a solution to our problems and i hope someone sees this post and considers my view.
step 1. NFA should stop immediate sponsoring of the team and ask them to leave ghana immediately, so we dont waste any more money on this guys.
step 2. Fire berti , we dont have $50,000/month anylonger, we changed our minds!
step 3. Pls get the fying eagles (eagletst) start training them for 2010 and hire a new coach (does not have to be a foreigner for Gods sake)
step 4. Organize a lot of friendly matches both locally and internationally
, -----do this for the next 2 years in preparation for the world cup, and i will bet you money, even if we dont win the world cup, we will be happy with our team, we wont lose cause we do not have talents but it would be a "luck" factor.

oh i forgot, step 1a. All the players in ghana right now should refund the money used to fly them to ghana and all their paid expenses.

first we did not make it to the world cup last year, now we dont even qualify past group stage? what an insult to nigerians. this is really a sad day for nigerians.

but no be only us dey cheat na amongst the Afircan teams.

In 1990 we finished 2nd,92(3rd) and 94(1st).Na when we no go emerge from the group stages una go sabi say the rot don set in big time.

People were unhappy when we crashed out to Italy in the 2nd round of the World Cup until we couldn't even qualify for the World Cup against Angola.

By the end of the Westerhoff era,we were clearly the best team in Africa and ranked 5th in the FIFA rankings.

I don't think others are cheating to the extent of Nigeria. Ghana and Cameroun seem to be on the same level of Nigeria but countries like Senegal,Mali and CIV are not cheating on the same scale.

Hail the Super Chickens of Nigeria.  

I vote for (senior)under 17 to take over from this so called super duper floppy eagles.
we dont have to sack Vogts,but he has to stay in Nigeria if he must succeed.Shekina!

@ Raimond.

I OWE YOU A FIRM HANDSHAKE MY BROTHER, YOU PREDICTED THE SCORE (0-0) RIGHT.

SEND YOUR HAND TO ME ^{JUST UR HAND O},LET ME SHAKE YOU

@ at tyme all african footballers are battling to make there natn proud our footballers are busy thinking of club football
they are all over rated pussies, they should all be stripped naked and flogged fooollllls

All the players are full idiots, thay should be stripped naked on the street and whipped

I am shocked they have not sacked Vogts yet. Obviously these NFA people
dont want to give severance pay.

he go burn hole in their thief money.

wafy boy
correct .
summer i go enter england i must track yakubu,martins,kanu,olofijana,mikel and the rest mumu
them make me lose 100$ this 9t them must pay!!!!! if not i go control nigerdelta boys for phone
KIDNAPP go take place

@ I man

Yeah, I am quite aware of the circumstances in Westerhoff's case ( with military backing and all). What I am talking about is actually the time he was given and that is why I am not blaming Vogts or any other coach who will be unfortunate to coach Nigeria in these circumstances. I lay my blame squarely on the NFA. Westerhoff formula was not in reference to the man himself but to the kind of long term plan that was advertently or inadvertently (tho the latter seems likely) laid down. Hire a coach , not necessarily a world class coach, but a young coach with vision and hunger and belief and love for young african talents. Let him draw up a plan , a long term plan. Make sure he lives in Nigeria and let him follow the local league (that was how Finidi Goerge was found in Calabar rovers). Give him time and space and I assure you we will regain back our position. It is gonna take time tho , cos we have really given a lot away.


About the academies, I* thot we already had those?

Berti vogt is really really stupid innit?

Mistake 1: He removed Odemwingie ( who is the only two footed player) that can use both right and left leg and put in Lazy leg Utaka. Odemwingie was more sharper than Utaka in both game.

Mistake 2. How on earth can he play Mikel infront of Olofinjana. Mikel is not good as he use to be as an attacking midfielder. Mourinho changed his gamestyle. Can't Vogts ( it sound like maggot, does'nt it?) get that into his cement head?

Mistake 3. His three changed were strikers. Jeezzzzzzzzzz, did he not consider tht the midfield needs a makeover at all?

O ga oooooo

we 4 beg jay jay ,half jay jay is better than none, meanwhile make dem start Corruption cup of Nations lets kick sum ass.
