Humility017:


was discussing with a friend yesterday...
the NFF and the coaches are the primary reason why we loose this boys...

remember some years back Tammy was then in bristol city just getting to start...

I made a tweet on the NFF page citing the need for the NFF to get Tammy and co play for the super eagles... could you believe Tammy liked that twitt...I can't remember if he tweeted it though. and I check very well it was his verified account.....

we miss out on this guys because we have always act like milipead because no currency notes will be get into our pockets should we proceed wit getting this player's....

some Nigerians will only proceed to do the right thing only when money is involved and they will get something in return... and unfortunately this folks are the majority in government MDAs, Ministeries and even the NFF.....

it is so painful...

Been tired a long time ago.

TheGoodJoe:
Pinnick should work on developing a home based footie program.

I think best for the job should be Emmanuel Amunike. He should scout and raise a home based U20 team from a thorough Nationwide systematic screening process. Train the selected team of about 30 boys in high level possession football and let them play friendly matches against home teams during the International break.

When Amunike feels the boys are ready, we can start touring with them to play U23 clubsides. This will give the boys exposure and later, some will be snapped by clubs and increase our pool massively.

Later a televised friendly between these boys and the Super Eagles.

It is not only looking for foreign boys. We are losing a great deal at home.

I tire O!

DrKlever:
he is too slow to react even on and off pitch. We deserve to watch our super eagles play good football not some fear fear police game. So he needs to act fast and invite the right people.

TheGoodJoe:
It is frightening we have money to fly players from Europe to train with the U17, U20 and U23 teams but we do not have money for proper grassroot development projects.

We suppose to have tactical train the trainer courses in the country. Imama Amakpakabo pointed out the tactical deficiency in our players. Coming from a player who was part of a home based tactical side must have been shocked with gap in the knowledge of our players. I can see Bonfere Jo criticising Imama approaching the game with long balls, forgetting that is the only thing Imama could tell them to play due to their lack of tactical knowledge.

Coaches like Imama, Siasia, Monday Sinclair, Amunike can get facilited to hold coaching clinics periodically for coaches in Nigeria to brush them up. These train the trainer coaches can go on refresher courses from time to time and come back to pass the messages to a large group of coaches.

In turn, our home based players will get better tactical training in the long run.

Nigeria has an under 13 and under 15 program, already. What you are proposing will not go far enough.

The most important thing to do for the development of local talents is having professionally run football teams in our league.

Imagine if all the league teams have well coached/structured academies. You will kill age cheating and export good talent.

Alternatively, we can establish a national under 16 league with players required to pass MRI tests and show their school certificates.

This can be done zonally and then a super 6 in Abuja or Uyo.

Talents from across the country will be found and it will even help national team coaches.

Good morning komekn, please confirm receipt of my email sent on 19th of October in anticipation of your reply.

Did you read develop football in Nigeria?

The under 17 is minute to the kind of exports we could have if we focused on correcting the ills in our local football.

By the way, Rohr is not doing anything special that an indigenous coach wouldn't have done. He is just overhyped because he is white.

komekn:
In this regard the NFF is an enabler creating the framework and support to enhance football development. They can not do it by themselves.

That partnership will start with village primary and secondary schools, proceed to local government capitals and state capitals.

Until there is buy in too strategic partnering with the LGA, State government to institute and organise a well funded structure through school competitions to enhance football development. Which the NFF has to facilitate and support,, we will REMAIN where we are.

PurpleHouse:


With all the talent at his disposal, he should be doing more. But for now, maybe we should give him 2more years to make something out of these boys.

iSlayer:
Pepe yakubued this ball.

TheGoodJoe:


I think we have given Rohr enough time to see where he can take the team. Tactically, he is far from the modern game to match us in the right direction. If after all these years we are still expecting a miracle, then we are not reading writings on the wall.

Update: QPR Ebere Eze Doesn’t Need FIFA Clearance To Play For Nigeria Despite Representing England U20
Per the rules governing the eligibility of a player to play for another country without requiring FIFA’s permission to switch, QPR Ebere Eze doesn’t need to go through the process if he decide to play for the Super Eagles, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
This portal yesterday ran a story base on reports from the side of coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr who insisted that the player need his switch of allegiance to be confirmed by FIFA before he is eligible to play for Nigeria after representing England at U20 level.
The report is however not true as Eze, who is viewed as one of the best midfielders in the English Championship represented England in a friendly tournament organised by the German FA and not UEFA as posted by this portal yesterday.
Eze has played seven matches for the U20 of England, four in the 8 team Elite League competition organised by the German FA and three in friendly games. He has twice made the bench in FIFA/UEFA organised tournament but didn’t get to play.



A line from the guidelines by FIFA for players switch of allegiance stated clearly that a player will require approval to switch nationality only if he has played in an official tournament, the section is quoted below.
Principle of National Team Eligibility
Article 5.1 states: “Any person holding a permanent nationality that is not dependent on residence in a certain country is eligible to play for the representative teams of the association of that country.” The terms of this rule prevent temporary residents who are not otherwise citizens of the relevant country being considered eligible.


Article 5.1 further adds: “…any player who has already participated in a match (either in full or in part) in anofficial competition of any category or any type of football for one association may not play an international match for a representative team of another association.” The term “official competition” refers to matches played for representative teams in competitions organised by FIFA or any confederation (i.e. not friendly games).


Therefore it’s safe to say if Eze requires any form of switch before playing for Nigeria it won’t be tedious and time consuming like the case was with Ola Aina which took twelve months but it will be like that of Alex Iwobi whose switched was done swiftly because he only played for England youth team at friendly level.

I think Chriskels is right....
this man is not that clean...

wish NFF can pay a good foreign coach we would have gone for someone like arsene Wenger even if it is not possible but someone obviously better than this old German that has no clue

Ex Nigeria U17 Goalkeeper Could Gatecrash Super Eagles Squad For AFCON Qualifiers After Impressing In Israel

As coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr continue his search for more options in goal for the Super Eagles of Nigeria to abate the goalkeepers crisis rocking the team, former Nigeria U17 goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye is one of the options available.

With regular first choice of the senior national team of Nigeria Francis Uzoho injured, Rohr has expanded his search for new goalkeepers to make up for his absence with just Maduka Okoye and Ikechukwu Ezenwa the only options available to him as the coach appears to have closed the door on Daniel Akpeyi despite his recent fine form for Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa.

19 year old Adeleye plays for second division Isreal side Hapoel Katamon, who are third on the table and so far he has played in all of their league games this season with three clean sheets to his name.

Rohr has reportedly posted his scouts to watch the goalkeeper and if the reports turns out to be positive he will be called up to the team for upcoming AFCON 2021 Qualifiers against Benin Republic and Lesotho respectively.

A member of the 2017 Under-17 team of Nigeria that failed to qualify for the Africa U17 Cup of Nations and subsequently the World Youth Championship, he has grown in leaps and bound since arriving Israel a year ago.

His move to the country where legendary Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama started his career abroad was facilitated by Israeli agent David Ouziel and the player rose through to the youth ranks to the first team.

Arsenal Wenger or anyone of his grade will not accept to coach Nigeria,with all the offers in Europe coming for them..it can't work.
