Clementoke:



Bros, Sometimes, someone must always be blamed. It is not only in Nigeria. Ozil's case is still fresh.

andrew444:


Someone must be blamed but I didn't see the Spanish team blaming anyone after crashing out of the group stage of he 2014 World Cup

Germany blaming ozil,while Thomas muller who is one of the worst player was not blamed.

Clementoke:


That's why I said "Sometimes". It happens everywhere (Not peculiar to Nigeria or Nigerians)

Joebie:
Many Nigerians who are well travelled will disagree. I’ve been in Abuja continuously for 5 months now, and spent a considerable amount of time in Lagos.
For one thing, Lagos has serious transportation challenges. Can Lagos host? Why not. But the question remains can we deliver the BEST AFCON experience ever? I beg to differ

Joebie:
But they actually LOOK more talented than our NPFL players. They seem to know the rudiments of the game. Granted our presentation is very poor. Poor pitches do not aid a free flowing game.

AIG07:
Poor pitches as you stated above coupled with poor camera angles makes
the NPFL an eyesore.

oloriooko:
Watching SA league and am impressed with their stadia unlike ours which can give one eye sore. We need to wake up and improve our league. We must be transparent in biz deals cuz no one will want to put money where it can't be accounted for.

TheGoodJoe:


Pains me Nacho is not playing under a system known for creating numerous goal scoring opportunities. He has the potential to be a lethal hit man but needs the right system to get the best out of him.

Kudos to him making the best out of the preseason and I hope he continues in the upward trajectory. He should stay focused and keep working hard. I hope Puel plays in a more offensive fashion this season and give Nacho a good run.

Clementoke:


Not so Chief
Yakubu's goal gave us a 2-1 lead before Wanga equalized for Kenya. Martins saved the day for us.

Like I said Yakubu was a lethal striker for Nigeria but saying he scored "vital goals that helped us qualify for the WC" isn't correct. That's my point

gamaliel9:


Also do not forget the match in Sudan...we won 4-0...it was important away match because most super regulars were axed from the team at that time

With what will well traveled disagree?

I have been to atleast one or two countries in West Africa, Central Africa, East Africa, Middle East and Asia, so I know we might not be in the same level with the later two but the rest no reach us.

So, there is nothing to disagree about if Africa is the scale S.I unit measurement used to measure standard.

We are not comparing ourselves with America of Europe neither are hosting FIFA world cup.

It's AFCON we are hosting. Can we host best AFCON? Why not! Mind you, we co hosted 2000 AFCON and it was at the time we were not this developed.

Humility017:


you're talking out of it...
please you can come here report how Ighalo scored an hat trick...but please don't start acting like a 2 year old calling out every one for not doing same...

I understand Ighalo is yr best super eagles striker... see the parallel pole you citing....as if those countries that lost out in the world cup strikers missed any of those sitters Ighalo missed...

please serve us another story....
Ighalo this...Ighalo that...
a striker who barely finds the back of the net...
you can stick with him...but reasonable folks here have all moved on

Sarenren Bazee with 2 good assists today against Udinese

andrew444:


What did martins and co played in the 2010 World Cup apart from kalu uche ?

But frustrated Nigerians must always look for a scape goat.

Ighalo played nonsense in the World Cup,what did nacho play ? But nobody will insult nacho because he is a fan favorite

As far as I am concerned Nigerians don't know their problem

isan:
Did martins go to 2010 world cup?the team would have had a good world cup if not for yakubu and keita

tbaba1234:


We face both problems in our league, poor organization and lack of quality.

West African has the best talents on the continent but the best talents do not stay long at all. Many do not even bother to play in the league.

His only goal in the qualifier what should martins that got a brace do? Yakubu score his best goal in EPL always think he is a starboy when it come to Nigeria game

goldfish80:


You say this like these players are spoilt with choice deals abroad. Take it from me, for every 10 individuals who get deals abroad, 90 end up in the Nation wide league, NNL AND NPFL.
Those who are lucky to secure deals abroad obviously get reported, the rest who get signed up by amateur, NNL and NpFL sides do not get reported.

isan:
Well yakubu was preferred choice with obasi and yakubu like always failed to deliver missing from 3yard to break millions of people heart

Do u like seeing the picture again?

TheGoodJoe:


If I say my mind, people will not like it.

TheGoodJoe:



I still remember one AFCON with Berti Vogtz as our coach where Aiyegbeni kept on missing goals and Martins was pleading for a chance. I think one was against Benin Republic. I think at last Yakubu scored and erased the memory of his misses.

Good striker but definitely was not as lethal for us as the media tries to portray him. I believe Martins would have done better if he got the run Yakubu had.

isan:
He will missed sitter after sitter and be smiling while a more profilic striker rot on the bench yakubu was a good player for his club not for nigeria
