2nd round of WC 2 times, Afcon title, Olympic gold ( don't forget the olympic team had 7 members of the team). As earlier pointed out, they were banned from the 96 and 98 afcon tournaments.
cheesy All matched in recent history Sir.

They played good football yes. But this "I miss the SE of old" as if they conquered the world is where I'm not getting it

When else did we make wc 2nd round back to back sir? When last did we win olympic gold? Besides Keshi when last did we win afcon or even come close? Like I said who knows the 94 to 98 team might have gone ahead to win 2 afcons but we may never know unfortunately. So to your question, they conquered Africa and were ranked top 5 in the world and many times in the top 20 sir.

He didn't Sir.

Paul Onuachu was extremely happy making his debut against Seychelles.

He scored in his second match which was against Egypt.

Onuachu presently has 15 appearances with 3 goals
He had a cameo against Seychelles his full debut was against Egypt you can't call a feeling out process a full debut

If only you guys would use the same amount of energy to speak against the constant invitations of Musa and Shehu who add very little to the team.
At least we know Ighalo can score goals grin

What does Musa offer? What does Shehu offer?
But we gotta have that quota system, don't we?

At least it's better than having Moses Simon, Ahmed Musa, onuachu and shehu Abdullah I in the team. At least they will bring value to the team.
I pray it works. Rohr is confused and so if he does something right by adding quality to our midfield and wings let us be happy.
If ademola lookman keeps Ahmed Musa out if the team and ejaria can add creativity to our midfield I will be happy.
At least it will be an improvement. Although it's funny waiting for their switch before quality can be added to the team when other home grown talent is there.
But Rohr is so dumb that taking this route could be the only way out.

AFCON 2022: Rohr hints at inclusion of Lookman and Ejaria in Super Eagles team

Ademola Lookman and Ovie Ejaria may be included in the Super Eagles squad for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.

Lookman

The Super Eagles of Nigeria may soon get some reinforcements in attack with the introduction of Leicester City's Lookman and Reading's Ejaria.

Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr is already looking beyond the ongoing World Cup qualifying series and ahead to the difficult task of putting together a team for the 2022 AFCON, which will take place in Cameroon.

In an interview with Elegbete TV, the German manager revealed some new faces may be part of the team to Cameroon, despite not participating in AFCON Qualification.

Rohr hinted that midfielder Ejaria and winger Lookman have a chance of being included in the final team to the 2022 AFCON.

According to the 68-year-old, both Ejaria and Lookman, who have represented England at youth level, have expressed their desire to switch international allegiance.

The Nigeria Football Federation, led by Amaju Pinnick are working on it, and Rohr expects a resolution as soon as possible.

You don’t know Rohr then.

Rohr that I know will take out Ejuke to bring in Lookman. He will tell you that having too many dribblers is not good for the team.

so what do you want Rohr to do with dessers for example? Bench iheanacho or Osimhen or Awoniyi for him? I know we don’t like the coach but let’s be objective in our criticism

Kayode was not given a fair chance and for dessers he doesn't merit a call up now but then he was invited a full debut would have been enough to tell how good he is in the national team colours

Our highest peak in world football. Italy escaped by the skin of their death. 94 set play with so much gusto and vitality. As them match enter field dem no send you. We played Argentina with Diego and we brushed them hard even though they won, we played Italy with Baggio and boy, them hear am. That's how to play. Westerhof really knew the naija spirit, the spirit that in the face of so much odds does not like to surrender and harnessed it to fashion a team that was like a javelin in the hands of a skilled warrior.
Rohr players will be matching into the field, you go dey fear. It's not the players it's the coach

Debut is a debut and citing Ronaldo,you should have known was one of those media hype surrounding star player.

Okay are you now saying Nwakaeme didn't have a full debut.

I know if Taiwo Awoniyi was a foreign born playing in bundesliga with his performance this season,Rohr would have rolled out red carpet for him.

Oga humility,let us be sincerely with ourselves,a debut match for any player is 50/50.

Hope you remember how Ndidi misfired against Zambia?but to me he is Nigeria number one player now,forget full debut,Dessers not getting call,you should have known baba,with Victor Osimehn,Paul Onuachu,Terem Moffi,Taiwo woniyi and now Odion Ighalo,not easy my man.

It seems to be a very tough decision.

Ighalo coming in is not bad and it will be unfair to drop Onuachu whose run of form has continued this season from where he stopped last season.

Probably, a panic decision due to the injury that stopped Osimhen from playing the last match.

It shows the coach doesn’t have confidence in the backup strikers on the bench.

Then my question is, why bring them to the team if you can not rely on them?

The coach has nothing to offer.

Lookman and Ejaria would definitely add value to the team. He needs to drop two defenders from that squad to accommodate these two.

For those calling for the dropping of Musa and Shehu, Musa is team captain and his level of commitment is a plus for him. While Shehu might not be a master of a position, he is a utility player. You need such player in your team in case of crisis situations.

Stop grasping at straws. Look at your initial statement below.

Onuachu scored in 3 minutes and won man of the match in his debut, Shehu Abdullahi won man of the match on his debut, Ezenwa made multiple saves against Cameroun (I think) on his debut even Idowu scored on his debut

I don’t know how synergy in the Team camp would look like having Ighalo back, but I personally don’t think Rohr will coerce Oshimen to release the No.9 shirt for Ighalo.
It’s a tough decision to make though and I hope it doesn’t affect their relationship.
