hahaha against CAR? It was not convincing

it was, our keeper was on holiday throughout, they barely entered our box, games don’t get more comfortable than that

12large1:


He is 100% better than Collins who wasn’t impressive against CAR. I will rather Aina at LB and awaziem at RB if Zaidu isn’t recalled

Zaidu is not anywhere 50 percent better than Collins let alone 100 percent ,Na small thing zaidu take pass Collins ,make we no let Porto deceive us

andrewbaba44:


I am really impressed by awaziem and I want to see him play more

Moses Simon who is one of my fav have been annoying me lately and I hope he will be dropped to the bench

Moses Simon shouldn't be relegated to the bench alone but out of the team. Man doesn't know how to play football anylonger.
He can't connect passes well, his crossings doesnt pass the knees of players let alone their heads, pull out zero, dribbling and cutting to his left always, very predictable. It just saddens me how he keeps getting into the starting XI from playing rubbish.
He has played and started in all 4 games without anything to show for it.

My chief I was asking myself these same question. How can you play badly (obvious) and you're assisting in goals.......No be juju be that

Watching Burkina Faso, Egypt, and Algeria scoring goals against opponents. Can't the super eagles score more than 2goals in a match?

samtol4:
It is not the scoreline per se but patterns of play. Most of goals especially against Cape verde, were gifts

Most? Gifts? This thread en

MKO Abiola Stadium to be ready by November

Adedeji Adesoji, executive director of Aron Nigeria Limited, contractor handling the Stadium’s renovation, disclosed this during the inspection of the project in Abuja on Monday.

Adesoji said the new scoreboards installed at the stadium are Video Assistant Referee (VAR) compliant, adding that the Platinum TE Paspalum grass was used, the same type FIFA approved for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar


and to think that this pitch renovation cost Dangote 1M dollars, leaves me baffled so why can't our governors do same for our pitches prior hosting the super eagles especially Lagos, Edo and Asaba Stadia it does not really cost much to have a good pitch

How much is $1m in naira? Then imagine the headlines of newspaper about "grass"

How much was used for the Oyo stadium recently? It is in billions of naira
How much was used for the Teslim stadia ? Billions of naira

The last time i checked 1M dollars is not more than 600M naira

We hear the MKo stadia in abuja cost 1M dollars for grassing because it was handled and financed by a private company i assure u if it was the government....it would have been said to cost 5M dollars or more

The Lekan Salami stadium is not only for the grassing/pitch. It was a facelift for the whole stadium/complex. I worked with a firm for 3 months on the Squash Court and Admin buildings there. The pitch is just part of the bigger project.

I don't know about others tho. Best bet is that the FG/NFF adopts a home or two for the football teams both male and female. Complete complex.
I don't see any governor spending 600m for just grass. The economic returns will be too low to be commendable

Good to know u worked some parts of the job of building the stadia

For the bolded it seems u dont really know how well contracts are inflated in Nigeria will advise u take a look at the recent defended 2022 budget by the presidency especially the alloted amount for fuel,vehicle, drinks and other personal maintenance

So when Nigeria plays these countries it's a different dynamics, but we will be hurt because if we concede (we leak in at least a goal every game) it will be tough to salvage the game based on us not scoring enough goals. We needed a goal against CAR and couldn't get it. We huffed and puffed against Cameroon in 2 friendlies.
On current form, I see Nigeria losing 0-1 to Egypt and Algeria and a 1-1 with Burkina Faso if we meet in a tournament like AFCON.
We are ordinarily better than Burkina Faso and Egypt but very inefficient.

Senegal qualified for next round .

Nigeria may even do better against these countries because the Lagos pitch is not good. If the coach improve tactically we have talents that can play these big countries

Algeria currently thrashing Niger Republic 4:0. And it's not even up to 70 mins yet. That is how to treat minnows and part-timers.

A certain Franco-German coach would struggle to beat them 1-0 with eye-sore football on display.

in April he said:

“I’ve heard some bits about Nigeria but I can’t say too much about it though. My mum is Nigerian and my father lived 23 years in Nigeria as well,” Danjuma said, as per Bournemouth Echo.

“The culture is still within the family, so it does not disregard for the Nigerian side. It’s a choice I will think about but I need some time, obviously.

“I think they are interested but obviously I play for the Dutch national team already, I scored for the national team already, so I’ve made that decision.

“With the choice, I would like to represent Holland as well but then again I’m not being called up at the moment. So on the back of that, maybe I need to make some decisions.

“I’ve played for Holland at senior level. One cap in the Nations League and one against Belgium but that wasn’t an official match. They have changed the rules so, if you have one cap, you can still change.

“It isn’t a decision I can make just in a split second. I need to think about it.”

Never been much of a fan of Collins...I generally don't fancy fullbacks that are too static and don't support the attack well..they make the game dull...
But u can't blame him much...he might just be playing to instructions..
Remember when Rohr dropped Aina who was having a good tournament at LB at the AFCON immediately Collins returned from injury... Probably cus Aina was playing offensively more than he instructed...

Anyway, since Taiye Taiwo retired, that LB role hasn't found a worthy successor...Echijele was good there for a while until he fizzled out..

Na WA oooo which kind "Algermany" team b dis
8-0
6-1
Now
4-0 ..I tip them to do a double on Afcon trophy
Wat a sweet time to b an "Algerman"

Whoever made Nigerian Media Houses to normalize that "there are no minnows in African football" is a big big scam. An inadequacy to cover SE blushes that headline was.

The truth is those guys don't know Nigeria as their home!!! That society molded them and they would rather be loyal to what they know as home instead of their parent's home. That said, those guys should also be fair to us and let us know right off the bat that they are not interested in repping us instead of using us a bargaining chip for their desired national team. Further, I am not against FB at all, let's use the best we can get, afterall Tiago, Diego Costa and Jorginho are Brazilians repping other countries.
