what contribution, olympics games since 1996 what else have he done, instead of the goat to quit since like a perfect gentle man which he is, he decided to come to worldcup in place of stronger players, respect my a.ss. super eagles have now become a place for oldies imagine yakubu claiming to be 28 or kanu 33 when in real life they are in their 40s. please other than olympics what have this man done, so we should give obinna, and obasi lifetime pass to super eagles, because they also gave us silver medal in the olympics

he had the job since february, he watched all nigeria games in nations cup, then why should he make yakubu is 1 striker, this stuff is like abc,123 is just common sense. to think that sani lulu called it a marvelous performance is just painful to say the list. when people were saying they don't expect lars to do a miracle. a 4years immediately contract is dangerous because your dealing with nigeria fickle fans

useless nigerians, after working so hard to play world cup, nigeria best player in 2009 only for a useless goat, someone that did nothing in the whole of qualifying keita to take his place, how would you feel if it was you

imagine dickson etuhu saying for this first time in his country you could see some kind of coaching. after what amodu did for him

who acres if mikel knows my linage, do you know my linage, do you know how much i have, idiot. the fact that sani keita,ayila,etuhu,kanu,yakubu,utaka,yobo are useless does not make mikel good. mikel is always going to be a rubbish player although he has talent but playin 300 games without a goal or shot on target my brother he useless

abeg let this old fool stay till 2018 i think his experience would win us nations cup 2012 and worldcup 2014 afterall his experience have already won us 6nations cup and no goal.
chidicris when you don't respect your how can someone respect you. kanu should have quit since but he wanted his experience

seriously i just don't understand the heart and mind of nigerians. today sani lulu said that if he could find his way nigeria would keep lars lagerback for 4years, because in quote he did a "marvelous job" now lets analyse all nigeria games in worldcup and see if lars actually did a marvelous job. against argentina we were poor. i don't care what the score line says were were poor we should have conceded 10-0 not even because of enyeama but because of argentina poor finishing they were just playing the ball straight to enyeama. now i forgived lars for playing defensive against argentina, but against greece he betrayed us. no matter what anybody says greece were there for the taking we should have gone all attack there was no reason for us to play a defensive minded game absolutely no reason, how can you put keita on the right wing against greece, how can you bench your best striker when you need goals, i can challenge anybody that lagerback tactics against greece was poor. then came the korea game, what kind of selection was that imagine playing yakubu and kanu the two lazyiest player in a do or die game, why put afolabi to start first half when echjile regained fitness. now i just don't understand how anybody can say lars did a good job and should be kept for 5years, after lars was hired he watched our nations cup performance and he saw how bad yakubu played, yet not only did he take him to world cup he wanted to build his team around him. nigerians should know now that if lars is hired we should just forget about youth, it is a guarantee yakubu,yobo,keita, would be called up in august again for qualifying, keita would be a guaranteed right winger for 5years from now till world cup 2010. nigeria would give up its natural attacking football for ultra-defensive football, we should be carefull about what we ask for, for me i think a local coach should be hired not only does he knows all our players from youth, he is also an attacking coach 'siasia' all if we want to keep lars we should not give him a 5year contract immediately, a 1year renewable contract would be better, meaning that if he does well in one year we would extend it, but if he does bad he would be sacked. if they by mistake give this 'white amodu' a 5years contract it is an absolutely guarantee that we would leave to regret it. by the way for those people talking about time,

4months is enough for a coach to know that yakubu should not be our number 1 striker

me miss mikel lai lai that won can never ever ever ever ever happen. the fact that one useless player is better than 2 useless players don't make the first useless player useless. mikel is going to play his 5th season now and as usual i expect him to just pass the ball sideways/backpass for the whole season. i rather take okoro and ibrahim

useless player from 2004 to 2010. i guess kanu,yobo,yakubu,utaka experience has done us a good world cup appearance, why is he quitting he should stay till 2014 i think his experience might win us the world cup.

of course why wouldn't calamity yobo and foul too much ayila not back lagerback, because they know he would still call them up again in august. this is one of the main reason i want them to sack lars, because he does not know our yuth players

khydavid orelesi and echijile are far better than aliyu

wow osaze the man that single handedly made nigeria qualify in 2009 is now branded as a fool just because of a white coach. if your osaze won't you be frustrated, he came into this worldcup as nigeria star man looking to find a new big club only for this goat of a coach to bench him for who "sani keita" now i know how many fake as.s nigerian ans we have

everybody should support argentina, brazil is no more interesting dunga na boring coach

sodje ko soji ni a player playing at chalton atlectic the guy sodje is another version of yobo

no chance he should leave, keeping lars is not an option. he would call up the same players again in august and we need a coach that can bring in many new players

well yes we could have done better, personally i don't like the way mikel plays for chelsea with all those sidepasses/backpasses, but for nigeria he is decent we could have used some of his long passes plus he can also play centrally, unlike haruna who is an attacking midfilder.

modupea the reason am critisizing lagerback, is because the guy is a donut, against argentina, i could understand the reason for playing a defensive formation because they are the most talented, and you don't want to concede a goal. but against greece there is absolutely no reason to start with 2 defensive midfilders, there is no reason to bench our best striker martins for yakubu. had it been that this guy let eagles play the way they played in the last 30minutes against korea in the whole tornament then we would qualify. like i said 3months is enough for a coach to know that yakubu is faded and guys remember i guarantee you if lars or any foreign coach is hired yakubu would be back in eagles in august. we need a nigerian coach that knows all our good players from a youth age

wow my mother and pastor chris actually went to the same college in benin nigeria, she told me that they were really poor when they were at epoma

go and play messi on the left wing and see how he does, you have to play players to their strenght messi is left footer but he is not good at playing on the left, osaze is a right winger, was already playing there well then why should you change him for sani keita

abeg worldcup is not time to start experimenting. even osaze played well on the left against argentina but that selfishness overshadowed everything. our already made inform right winger is turned to a support striker/left winger for a useless mallam like sani keita. omar22 may god punish you and lagerback, you don't need 3 months to know that keita is not a right winger

ahh na this one pain me pass, you don't need 3months to have common sense why should you leave martins on the bench and put that fat lazy yakubu as our hope useless coach

LAGERBACK did not give me any Opportunity - MARTINS

Published: June 23, 2010

Wolfsburg striker,Obafemi Martins says Lars Lagerback did not give him an opportunity to display his talents at the World Cup.Martins played only two matches at the World Cup as a substitute.

''Lagerback did not give me any opportunity at the World Cup.I have not received any explanation from him.

Martins was also asked if it was wrong for Amodu to have received the sack before the World Cup.

''I cannot answer that question.It won't be good.''

Roland Andersson,the Eagles assistant coach has said that, it's normal for players to react like that when they do not get playing time.

''Of course,it is normal for players to react like that when they do not get playing time.It happens in all the teams.

''When they come and ask us why they were not fielded,we explain the reasons to them

solomon okoronkwo is average, he cannot take our football to another level he is in the class of
isaac promise
vanzekin
ajilore

if solomon improves he can be a new kanu though

how can you lose respect for him when we have a useless coach that plays players on the wrong place. osaze was excellent in his right winger position, he was nigeria best player, the only player that i taught could find a big club after world cup, but what do lars did, he carry useless sani keita put for right wing play osaze from left,center and all wrong position. the guy played 2 45 minutes game against argentina he was good but selfish

quote from osaze odemwingie


From the first training, he is looking at attacking football. He is looking at a passing game. He is looking at the penetrating pass, a pass that creates danger, less square passes and more forward passes. He keeps reminding us that we have to play beautiful football and that results are also very important.

"At the same time, you can see that he doesn't want to play a game where Nigeria is scared of the opponent, any opponent."

Odemwingie says already the atmosphere in camp is different.

"You could feel it. You cannot deny it. Like our people say, oyibo na oyibo. There is a touch they add to Africans when they bring their ideas, their calculations, their tactics, their organisation, their way of being more effective on the field. That is going to be added for sure.

osaze your just talking rubbish, i understand why lagerback almost rendered you useless by playing you at a wrong position instead of right wing, but sacking amodu was not a mistake. the mistake was not hiring a good attacking coach but keeping lars is not even an option for me we need a nigerian coach that knows all our players from youth age because by keeping lars he would just call up the same players again like yak,yobo,utaka

Sacking Amodu was a mistake - Odemwingie
Posted: 2010-06-23 07:28

In a surprise turn-around, Osaze Odemwingie has said that it was a mistake to fire Shuaibu Amodu and replace him with Lars Lagerback.

Odemwingie was one of the players who spoke up against Amodu at the African Nations Cup in Angola, leading to the axing of the former BCC Lions coach.

But after a disastrous World Cup where Nigeria finished bottom of a winnable group with just one point out of nine, the Lokomotiv Moscow forward told KickOffNigeria.com that it was a mistake to fire Amodu.

"They should not have fired Amodu. I think that was a mistake," he said.

Odewmingie went on to say that Nigeria did not have a team good enough to challenge the best.

"To be honest, we don't have the team that can win the World Cup. If you go down to the roots, most of us, including myself, in our clubs we are not doing great.

"We are not like the big team we used to be, having players in the big clubs and coming here with the ambition to win the Cup. But definitely we could have done much better."

Odemwingie also criticised coach Lars Lagerback's selection and tactics, but says if the coach can learn from his mistakes, he would do better with the Super Eagles.

"I think the World Cup experience and being with us has given him some advantage over the next candidate.

"People learn from mistakes. If he takes the positives from this one and he feels good with working with Nigerian boys then yes, I think he should stay."

for those that don't know joel chkwuma obi and nnamdi oduami,

chkwuma obi is an attacking midfilder that can play on the left wing he is a decent player but okoro,ibrahim is better so he would be a good squad player, for oduamadi he just got promoted to ac milan senior team he is called the new robinho at ac milan he would be a very good player in 3years time he used his real age

dillion67 no i think the won in 2002 was the worst. this one the problem was the coach
his too defensive, played players at wrong position,selected the wrong fromation and wrong players but overall you could see that they were some talent but they did not want to play, with lars coaching us we would have to wait until last minute to play a good game, besides what stops him from selecting those players that played second half against korea eariel in the tornament

mikel might be the new captain since his the oldest in terms of experience

sorry i mean't new super eagles team to be built for the future
