Hmmmm, this man tried joor.. In Nigeria we don't appreciate and it is a problem we face daily..congrats to the boys and the coaching staff. Imagine, if all d African football DAT played this tournament but did not qualify for d finals had to sack their coaches, how many teams will be left without a coach right now.. We always feel we r to good to fail..

We nigerians get too sentimental about issues. Point is this coach was woeful. The team was also woeful. This nigerian team had the potential and ought to win this afcon! I hope u know it wasnt the coach that won us this third place but the individual brilliance of the players. The coach was tactically and technically poor and made fatal decisions that cost us a lot. With a good coach this Nigerian team should have lifted the cup. The coach made same mistakes during the world cup against a very poor argentina side that any team cud have beaten silly and we ended up losing that game and crashing out. He did same mistake that cost us the afcon. Point is, this man should be sacked, and we should get better coaches that can manage our team. In football, and i dare say in life generally, You don't judge success by what you have achieved alone but by comparing what u have achieved with the potentials u had at ur disposal! Thats why a team like real madrid or barca can end up second in the league or even runners up in a champions league and still sack the coach, because they dont just look at what they have achieved as runners up, but also consider the potentials the team had, the way the team played (did they mostly struggle to scrap out wins or they played and won seamlessly and smoothly especially against relatively weaker opponents), targets etc.
So nobody should ever say these guys tried. They were woeful by my assessment, and truth is, if this error is not corrected now by sacking this coach and bringing in a sound coach that understands that the super eagles traditionally play exciting attacking football, and then scout for very zealous younger lads who can give their all for their nation, (not the bunch of lazy guys we have today as players), this nigerian team would be headed for more disaster. It happened against argentina and we failed to see it, and today we ended up celebrating mere third place. Its about to happen again, mark my words. How the mighty are fallen that we now get overjoyed by getting third place medal when we could achieve more. I bet in the next AFCON, when they crash out of the group stages, you guys will start celebrating that at least they made it to afcon in the first place. That's how standards fall quickly.

Why didn't they put on that green jersey and see... Well, if you want to be grateful, you will look at those you are better of, and if you want to be ungrateful you will look at those that are better than you

Ghana, Cameroon, Egypt, South Africa, Mail, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Morroco and others... We are grateful Lord

Senegal and Algeria... Well, the keeper cost us the final

How is it d keeper?

Those coaches were not allowed to work. Sunday Oliseh from the first day he was employed was hounded by every person in the NFF, requesting that he submits his team list to a committee for vetting. Has Rohr ever done that? When he left, the then U23 coach was made to fill in, and he had only a few days to prosecute a 2-legged affair with Egypt for AFCON 2017. So how do you succeed when those who are supposed to be giving you the support are trying to tear you down? Nigeria does not need Rohr. We are Rohr's biggest achievement in coaching.

If the people at the glass house is giving Rohr the much needed support for him to succeed, why don't we give him time. He has been able to assemble young and talented players in the team. Allow him to work with them. Any coach that comes onboard now, will drop most of these players, then we will start all over again.

Aptly said. Rohr's not Nigeria's only problem. The NFF leadership is the bigger problem. Most of them are not Sports administrators by profession but government appointees. Hence the lack of professionalism in our football.

Rohr is not suited for Nigerian football. We don't have to wait for the bottom to fall out before we do the needful. Nigerian football is bigger than Gernot Rohr.

Feel so sorry for Kanu. He's probably lost all he worked for.

A man of Kanu's stature shouldn't even be indebted to a bank how much more it being seized.

Congrats to him, at least we took something.

BabaO2:
Bring back Siasia or Oliseh, we dont need useless Rohr. What is the big deal about him if the crude local Algeria coach can beat and dominated him throughout the 90 minutes of the match?

siasia and oliseh that couldnt qualify us for Two consecutive Afcon..u see yourself...??

AINA was sensational!

He is full of confidence and acts business like. The future is ours!
