Anyone who says Rohr has no tactic is just a beer parlor football fan who only wants to shouting goal

They don't pay attention enough to know what tactics a coach employs.

Why we struggle to score to beat small teams is because we play fast attack. Tiki taka is really difficult to score with. But we have been doing it at times. Our attackers are one of the reasons we are not scoring too, they miss passes and shots in the box.

Playing 2 upfront seems to hamper our shot taking efforts as well. But my major concern is the defence. With a good defence, we will surely push out of world cup group stage.

Word.. cool

So agents influenced Chelsea's signing of Saul Niguez ok na, because according to our experts here agents cannot influence anything in football

Pep brother is an agent
David Moyes brother is an agent
Alex Ferguson son is an agent
Sam Allardyce son is a agent.

To name just a few , then you have club managers we who are signed to particular agencies. That gives players signed to those same agencies first choice undue advantage to that club. It is a conflict of interest but people in football accept it as normal.

Then you have the players who are in football clubs who have agencies themselves or by proxy. They then create a situation where they are the preferred agent for the club.

Youth players not signed to the " preferred agent" may find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. Particularly for opportunities in the first team.

It's very dark murky world the business of football.

Though I've lost interest in Nigeria games since we threw away a 4 goals lead against lowly rated Sierra Leone but I just can't stop worrying about tomorrow's game. Something in me feels Nigeria may not qualify but I rebuke it IJN.
Normally, we should be topping these kind of groups with maximum point but everything is wrong with this Nigeria team and I feel the coach is the biggest culprit. Imagine inviting Shehu and Musa at the expense of players like Ebuehi and Dennis, recalling Ighalo and leaving out Awoniyi and Sadiq. Even his tactical prowess is below par, substition awareness too na zero. Making substitutions at late minutes when the rest of the players are tired and then you see the newly substituted players doing most of the playing alone. Another factor is we don't have a definite pattern of play, teams respect us in early minutes and defend against us but when they see that we only have teeth but can't bite, they come out in full force against us and when team attack us, we lose focus and start to play rubbish.
Another fearful factor is our home record is bad! SA beat us at home, Sierra Leone drew us at home, CAR of all countries defeated us at home.
That tommorrow match ehn, if the boys looseguard, we no go qualify o but I pray they make us happy in the end

The Premier League strugglers recently became the biggest money-bags in club football, and they have set sights on raiding Almeria for their prolific striker

Newcastle United have reportedly joined Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Almeria’s star forward Umar Sadiq.

According to a report from Fichajes, Newcastle will look to bolster their struggling attack with the signing of the Nigerian forward, who is valued at around €25 million.


The Geordies have managed just 12 goals in 11 English Premier League games this term and deservedly sit second from bottom on the table.

But the recent acquisition by oil-rich owners have seen Newcastle bring in new manager Eddie Howe, with the club expected to make a few quality signings during the January transfer window.

Sadiq is one of those that have emerged as an ideal option for Newcastle.



After spells at AS Roma, Torino, Bologna, and Rangers, the Kaduna-born forward’s breakthrough arrived at Partizan Belgrade, where he impressively scored 23 goals in 52 appearances.

Sadiq’s time at Almeria, a team he joined for just €5 million last year, has been even more remarkable, with the former Nigerian youth international notching 29 goals and adding 13 assists in 58 competitive games.



Almeria may not be willing to let go of Sadiq at the season’s midway point, with the Spanish side currently sitting top of the Segunda Division aided by 24-year-old’s seven goals in 15 games.

It would, however, be hard to resist the interest of Newcastle, who would find no trouble coughing out the €25 million Almeria want for the Nigerian, who had previously been linked to English rivals Tottenham.

Bayern Munich and Manchester City also once held interests in the striker who won a bronze medal for Nigeria at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

With the reception that United fans gave him against City, I don't think VDB will leave United.

I watched Vlahovic for the first time versus Mourinho's Roma and I thought 'this guy is as good as the hype'.

Then I went to check his age, same as Haaland.

The plan of the Swiss Football Association to cap-tie Red Bull Salzburg teenager Bryan Okoh has gone up in smoke.

The 18-year-old was handed a maiden call-up to Switzerland's senior national team for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Italy and Bulgaria.

Okoh was surprisingly invited to the Switzerland squad without a single top-flight appearance to his name but he is teammates with ex-Golden Eaglets skipper Samson Tijani at Salzburg's reserve team FC Liefering in the Austrian 2.Liga.

The Swiss Football Association informed via their official website on Sunday that Okoh will not be available for selection against Bulgaria after the central defender suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in his right knee in the final training session in Rome on Friday without any external influence.

Okoh has returned to his club Red Bull Salzburg for further medical treatment, the press release added.

Born in Houston, Texas, the promising center-back is also eligible for the Super Eagles through his father and Democratic Republic of Congo through his mother, as well as the United States of America.

Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten suggested that manager Murat Yakin planned to hand a senior debut to Okoh in tomorrow's match against Bulgaria.

The American-Swiss-Nigerian-Congolese starlet has caps for Switzerland U15, U16, U17 and U21 national teams.



see as this nations dey try cap these kids on time but our own pride no go gree us

Although very disappointing, I feel Bafana are improving compared to where they were 2 years ago. They should keep the momentum.
