We really need division in this country because Nigerians lack of unity has totally destabilized our mind. Imagine if the case was reversed, do you think usa will extradite a white American to Nigeria if he was indicted in any crime. I am an Igbo man but under no Condition should Nigeria extradite him to USA. Nigerians stop worshipping these American law enforcement or white pipo dem nor even like una

Nigerians either needs division or doesn't have sense. If Efcc indict a white American citizen on the words of a white criminal even with the most Vivid evidence, The Americans wouldn't condemn their own, extract that individual. But, small accusations against a Nigerian by the Americans and his people has already made him Guilty. This country needs to understand diplomatic pride/Honor. Even if kyari is guilty, as a Nigerian citizen, I'm not condemning him

Danielnino00:
Rohr isn't an humble coach.. He just doesn't know how to instill confidence in his players...You may call Mike Brown a big talker, but the man knows his onions... Like I said, our team is largely inexperienced....a few of them just finished their rookie season in the NBA...Give them time....

He still lost 2 games in a row baba

Danielnino00:
At least, Mike Brown didn't go about telling the media that his boys are too young and not capable of performing... If you watched the two games they played, you would know that they played well..... without fear.... They are probably the most inexperienced team in the tournament...

Exactly my point. because, they still lost 2 games in a row even Rohr didn't lose 2 games in a row at the world cup. At the end of the day, whether a coach chooses to use the humble or arrogant route, it's only his results that matters

So after all the gra gra that mike brown has been making prior to the olympics, “we’re here to win” we have still lost 2 games in a row. It just shows that sometimes whether a coach uses the boastful or humble route, their results on the pitch is all that matters.

If ndidi doesn't transfer to a bigger team after this season then it's clear that he isn't rated worldwide as much as he is here. I don't know what else ndidi wants to achieve

You know these English new boys are good when Nigeria is fighting tooth and nail for their rejects like ejaria, ademola, olise, eze. The same England didn’t produce enormous technically gifted players in the Gérard era. We can learn as a federation to invest in grassroots and legitimate youth so that in few years, SE can develop their own superstars.

Chukwueze destroyed Barca and Real Madrid, has Moses done that?

Moses Is a
Uefa cup 2x, premier league, fa cup, carling cup, ANC winner and serious contributor. I like chukwueze but let's respect ourselves. Chuks only has 1 Uefa cup. Personally, in reference to super eagles RW only Odegbami and finidi has put in better performance than moses

Chukwueze that Algerians caged twice? The same Algeria that Moses annihilated? Moses has destroyed Algeria, Cameron, Mali, Ivory Coast, ethiopia and most importantly won an ANC (on his 1st attempt)

TheGoodJoe:
No one is against experience but they only get to play if they are better. There is no defender in Italy better than Bonucci. That is why he is playing.

We have better attackers than Ighalo, so he should not be selected ahead of them.

There's no Nigerian winger better than Victor Moses right now.

daveP:



Well i expected more. Besides its a final. Decent performance is below par for such an outing. GS probably left him on so he can play a pk. Henderson and DCL are good pk takers, but.... Smh


Iffai hear any Mount talk here, i fit para o.

Can't even believe its the same Emerson thats on Chelsea Bench that's playing like na him be the regular.(another angle about chance vs club and Country form)

Scholes would have reduced the tempo the Italians played. Lampard would have switched on his Superman Mode to equal or outdo the energy. Gerrard would have given the lazy pair of Kalvin and Rice some tackling jobs to do.

My friend shut up your dumb mouth. Gerard, Scholes and lampard never went past quater finals in all their appearances of England. Idiot

In the end, the experience of chellini and bonucci 35 and 36 led Italy to another European cups. Tomorrow, Nigerians will reject the idea of our own experienced ighalo and victor moses. Rohr whatever you're doing, victor moses and ighalo needs a recall ASAP

The home-based players of the Super Eagles of Nigeria
have another chance to show why they deserve more
opportunities in the senior national team when they play
friendly matches against Canada, Ghana and Cameroon.
The team recently lost 4-0 to Mexico in an international
friendly game played at the Los Angeles Coliseum in
California, United States.
Speaking after the game watched by over 50,000 fans,
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick,
revealed that the federation was on the verge of finalising
arrangements for the friendly games, which would hold
before the 2022 World Cup qualifiers begin later this year.
He added that the matches would hold in the 73,000
capacity M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, United States.

Super Eagles at training camps
“This is the launchpad we are providing for you to
showcase your talents,” Pinnick said while addressing the
players. “This team is our pride, and we will keep you and
monitor you because you are the next big thing in Nigerian
football.”
“In October, we will be flying the team to Baltimore for
friendly games against Ghana possibly, Cameroun and
Canada, maybe. We will sort that out in the coming
weeks. We will tidy up all the documentation. You will be
playing at the 73,000 capacity M&T Bank Stadium.”
In the game against Mexico, Nigeria presented a team made
up of players from the Nigerian Professional Football League
(NPFL) with Ibrahim Sunusi, who plays for Montreal FC the
only foreign-based star in the squad.
The team’s inexperience showed as they fell to the
Mexicans with goals from Hector Herrera, Rogelio Funes
Mori and Jonathan dos Santos.

Defeat Against Mexico
Speaking on the game, Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot
Rohr, praised the team for ‘a good outing.’
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr
“These are young players playing in front of over 50,000
fans in a foreign land. It was not easy but they showed they
can play this game,” Rohr said. “We are very happy that
fans are returning to stadiums after a long time playing in
empty stadiums.”
“Mexico is number 11 in the world and our young team
consist of the best players in the professional league at
home. They have learnt a lot from this game. I saw some
interesting players who could be useful in our next World
Cup qualifiers. Some of these players still have to work to
improve physically.”
Rohr explained that the game was part of Nigeria’s
preparations for the World Cup qualifiers, which will start
with a home team against Liberia on September 3.
“A few days later, we hope to play against Cape Verde
before meeting Central African Republics,” Rohr added. ” It
is a long way to the World Cup, but this match has shown
that some of the local players can play in the World Cup
qualifiers.”
“The match was a good lesson for my players because
Mexico are one of the favourites for the Gold Cup.”

Homebase vs Ghana senior team? This amaju guy has to be stopped

andrewbaba44:
Just found out that 38 years old Daniel Alves will be playing at the Olympic after missing the copa America due to injury

This is what we call a Warey ambitious player

Baba wan win everything

If he was Nigerian, they would had called for his retirement 5 years ago

humility33:
Rohr is not a top class coach, he is better qs a scout

What has been helping him, is that he is better sincere and his players selection is more of merit

I doubt if an indigenous coach like amuneke will not perfom wonders if he can get his selection right like rohr

Playing against mexico with this carpenters, was suicidal, infact we need thank the goal keeper if it was ezenwa i am sure it would have been 7

Rohr opened up earlier u dont play mexico with this bunch of average players if it is chan preparation why didnt them play africa teams for friendly or play some club sides in africa why the jamboree travel to the US. We just wasted an opportunity to watch the teamA players we have always played mexico for friendly most times it end up in draw. The last game we lost 1 nil and keshi used it to discover some good players for the team that was the match [b] LEON BALOGUN [b/] first played for Nigeria and Imoh Ezekiel.

My friend shut your stupid mouth. A coach inherit a team that failed to qualify for back to back Anc, Qualifies and reaches 3rd on his 1st try while improving his team ranking by 20 position in that period and selecting genuine young players for the future. Instead of appreciating him, they're denigrating him. You want him to be arrogant and boastful by promising things he cannot guarantee. Nigerians must learn humility by force. This 4 - 0 was an eye opener and the real sprite opener will be when we terminate Rohr and hire a local coach. Na there our eyes go officially Clear.

Rohr isn't having a defeatist attitude he is just being humble and playing mind games. For example, the insult that our sport minister publicly disrespected Rohr will never be tolerated by a Local Coach let alone a renowned foreign coach and the fact that Rohr hasn't responded even to a team that's owing him 7 months salaries in arrears speaks volume of Rohr character

Ppogbae:
Truth be told, some folks are happy with what is going on . This will put arguments to include NPFL players to rest

You're fuccking mad. So, it's the game that has cleared your eyes? You forgot Homebase atrocious records in Chan, wafu and caf club competitions?? If una like, make una dey request for Local coaches na there una go clear well

When Rohr was saying the truth, you guys were insult ing him. 1 thing I have noticed here is people disdain for the truth. What's the benefit of using homebase players to prosecute such a game against a team using its first 11??

Odunayaw:
Ndidi is world class! No time for merry-go-round BS!

Dey deceive yourself!

Oldboss:
is kante better offensively than Ndidi

Of course, Yes. Do you even watch kante to utter such nonsense?

Ndidi is a great ball winner hardworking and energetic but he must add some offensive qualities to his game or else, he will just be a mid table player

andrewbaba44:
Start ke

I Dey speak Reality

Ndidi is world class

No cap

World class and he is still at leicester after 4 seasons. Make we nor dey deceive ourselves. The likes of mahrez, kante left immediately they became hot. The likes of drink water, chilwell, maguire sef comot to big clubs but our ndidi that has allegedly been world class for the past 4 years is about to play his 5th season again. If una like, make una dey deceive una self

Philosopher1979:
With time, he will be better.
Even theoretically, he is with his wide range of abilities. At least he is more creative as a forward.
He once had 17 assists in a single season in Serbia, The problem is his maturity was late and
he has not done it in a top 5 league.
Personally i rate players on tactics and technique andnot just league or stats alone

You forgot that osimehn is equally a young man and almost his 3rd season proffesionally. The dude scored (10 seria a goals on his debut season) and can only appreciate from hence forward

Philosopher1979:
Sadiq Umar will emerge as the best Nigerian striker of his generation. Time will prove me right. He is the most technically sound player we have.
His technical and tactical abilities are very impressive. He will outshine anyone foreign borns or not even Tammy Abraham.
He is skillful, strong, can play as a lone striker, good in the air, creative, technical, he can play in a Guardiola team.
As I said time will prove me right. Maybe Joshua Zirkzee might defeat him but he is going to be a mega star. Strikers like him are rare in football

He isn't better than osimehn fam. (All due respect)

Philosopher1979:
The funny thing is that we have better players than that of the Hungarian team. Yet Rohr does not believe we can beat a team like Spain. Rohr is technically limited.

But he beat Argentina, Poland, Algeria, Cameroon in the past

The problem is that Nigerians totally disregard maladministration, incompetence from NFF and expect coaches to perform despite the aforementioned. For examples, Rohr and players salaries are owed in arrears yet we expect him to have the motivation, desire and belief in his team or work. We must first organize ourselves (Administration wise) Coaching at grassroots level, pay players salaries on time, Organize our league to a decent level. Then, fans can be mandating and expecting a world class performance from super eagles. Anything contrary, we should accept whatever we get. You fail to pay your coach for 6 months and you expect him to even be motivated to work

andrewbaba44:
If Dennis join watford ehnnn

I Dey observe

No more Dennis slander will be tolerated here ooo

We Dey watch because he didn’t have a good season

Bro, it's not just about signing for an Epl team. You have to prove yourself at that club to succeed and be respected. For example, Isaac success is at Watford but he has been disappointing all season long

andrewbaba44:
They are doing better than him sir

Let 1 become the top scorer at ANC and we have this discussion

andrewbaba44:
Well 35 year old vermaleen just came in and replaced a 34 year old vertonghen, one plays at the japenese league

Carrasco fallaini witsel where starting for these teams while playing in the chinese league then sha

I dont want ighalo in the super eagles anymore because he has retired from international football and our other strikers are in better form than him

Where does musa play if i may ask ? Dont come and give me any captain excuse oooo

All our other strikers are not better than ighalo. Please, let's stop telling ourselves Lies

Belgium

Vertogen 34
Mertens 34

If they were Nigerian, people will ask for their retirement or dismiss it when the coach ask them to rescind their decision.

Early retirement by super eagles players must stop. Enough is enough. We must maximize our players and when it's time for retirement, they should get a testimonial for serving their country

Kog45:
Large man pls what happened in the 90s?

The 90's eagles is probably the most talented SE team assembled thus far but individually, they were selfish and divided to the extent that we had various mafia and sub group in that team. Infact, it was so bad that they allegedly gang up not to pass the ball to yekini. Fortunately for them, they won 2 trophies Anc and Olympics so everyone will forget what happened

One of the beauty of this present super eagles team is their support, unity and hailing of one another. You will often find a present super eagles player praising and celebrating each other on Twitter and Instagram. It's such a breath of fresh air considering what happened in the mid 90's. At the end of the day, na trophy we want

humility33:
Oga tell me how many clear chances did the super eagles miss that day

You dont know and still dont wanna learn

I waste my time replying you... without creative midfielders where do you expect or how do you expect strikers to score goals even lewan and kane can't score goals in such set up

You must be very mad or dumb to realize that SE midfield has been similar since the last few years. When we defeated cameroun 4 0 it was still similar DM/CM available but victor moses and ighalo were the main culprit
