12large1:Large man i remember vividly how we failed to qualify for 2006 WC and almost lost out in 2010 with foreign coaches until NFF appointed Shuaibu Amodu and he did a yeoman job. My man not qualified for Afcon should not always be used as yardstick to measure our local coaches. The same local coach won us afcon in 2013 and out of our six World cup qualifications three belonged to local coaches...Shuaibu Amodu(2002&2010) though Amodu was denied to lead the team to mundial and Stephen Keshi(2014) Rohr qualified us for afcon after missing out on two occasions a plus for him but we are above that presently.France failed to qualify for Italian 90 and US 94 but won France 98 world cup. The fact is this we are struggling with Rohr despite the talents we have in various leagues. I think you initial post have nailed it all by saying no sound coach would accept treatment being meted on Rohr meaning Rohr see Nigeria as a safe haven. Truly your post also emphasis on difficulties always face by local coaches on the hand of,NFF which showed that the major issue militigating against Nigeria football is NFF. 5 Likes |

Read the post you quoted again but slowly this time. The bolded (outscoring opponents) was in reference to Siasia's style, especially his Nigerian teams. And what were you expecting Amunike's Tanzania to achieve at the Afcon in a group that had African Heavyweights in Senegal and Algeria? Did you actually watch them play or you just checked the final scoreline? So you didn't see the efforts to play on the front foot made by Amunike's Tanzanian teams at Afcon 2019. If they had averagely good Midfielders, they would have done more. Amunike used those inferior talents and still was able to create 3 big chances against Algeria that were squandered. They lost that game 3-0 but what would have been had they taken their chances? Tanzania didn't have half enough of the talents Amunike needed to make even better impact yet he was able to get them to the Afcon proper after 39 years. Why couldn't any other coach do that for Tanzanian football before him since 1980?? So please, before you criticise Amunike's stint with Tanzania, take the time to actually observe his tactical plays while with them. Rohr with that Tanzanian team could have done far worse and not achieved near half of what Amunike achieved with them. And that is fact from a technical/tactical POV. humility33: 9 Likes 3 Shares |

We have guys (e.g. Emmanuel David) scoring in Lithuania even right now. We have Afeez Aremu (Former CHAN Eagles star who shone at the Wafu tournament) starting for FC.St Pauli in Bundesliga 2 and many more to come. The amount of notifications that drop every club Football Weekend on my gadgets are astonishing. Overwhelming sometimes.. lol Keeping up with them is fun though... really fun. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Scouting Check: Emmanuel Van De Blaak, Dutch-Nigerian Defender A 16 y/o 2005-born CB. My interest in him is because he is a Central defender and we lack enough young CBs coming through for us at the moment. Post-2022, we would very likely be without Leon Balogun and "maybe" a Kenneth Omeruo. We don't want to grow thin in the CB role within 2 years as well. See Jacek Kulig's reference to @ScoutEredivisie's reports on the lad: https://twitter.com/FTalentScout/status/1448328836668608520?t=CLd-ZNCwbHlGY434o5uEig&s=19 https://footballtalentscout.net/2021/10/13/scouting-report-emmanuel-van-de-blaak-by-raphael-bejczy-scouteredivisie/ P.S: I have already mentioned him to a contact of mine who communicates regularly with Gernot Rohr. It is up to them. Just doing my part. I see players like these and give them Mentions when I can. But it is up to the coach and his team of scouts and coaches to follow up and follow through. 2 Likes 1 Share

Yes, his recent performances have been very decent in the DM role. Been keeping good eyes on him and all the others. His team have started the season well and sit top of the 2nd tier but it's still a long road ahead. The battle for promotion has only begun. Time will tell. maidaboi: 1 Like |

The team was mostly made up of the 2005 under 20 finalist with Nsofor and Osaze. It was a solid team. Obasi, Nsofor, Osaze and Anichebe at that tournament was one of the best attacking talent. Did Isaac Promise deserve to be the captain, in the first place? Starting him in the final after dropping him in the quarter and semi final cos of his below per performance was criminal! Like I said earlier, he might be tactically sound but his call ups ... ! Kog45: |

fabyom:Samson Siasia overall performance with Nigeria national teams showed that nothing wrong with his call ups. He was very solid with good attacking team and I repeat it again nobody gave him a chance at 2008 Olympic final starting Anichebe was inconsequential cos we lost to a team that had Messi,so give it to him. Atlanta 96 team were real super eagles with Uche Okechuckwu,Sunday Oliseh,Dan Amokachie,Emma Amuneke,Victor Ikpeba,Austin Okocha all US 94 team with Tijani Babangida who was also member but dropped.Hope you remember that Kanu Nwankwo,Taribo West,Celestine Babayaro,Mobi Oparaku,Wilson Oruma and Garba Lawal were already Super eagles players before Atlanta 96. My point is this we just need to appreciate our own.What Siasia did in 2008 Olympics Bonfrere Jo cannot do it. 2 Likes |

Nobody gave him a chance? He had one of the best team "at that tournament". Only Brazil and Argentina were slightly better. We could have won if he had started the team that demolished Belgium in the semi final instead, playing Isaac Promise was more important to him. He lacked those final details. Kog45: |
