I will include Finidi George, Gbenga Okunowo and Ganiyu Aziz too. Amunike did better in Portugal I think he was hampered by injuries when he moved to Barcelona.

What about Ramon Azeez

Goke7:
Finidi is a coward to say he can’t beg anyone to play for the eagles, the same players who played out their hearts during Afcon. That was subtle blackmail

How sure are you that he's referring to Afcon players
What if he's referring to FOREIGN BORN player's
You can't use your imagination to conclude what and why he said "I can't b g player to play for Nigeria"

Collin udoh

No, it was about the Eagles

It was about the situation in the Super Eagles. This is a summary.

1) Colin Udoh said that it was clear before the end of the Nations Cup that Paseiro was not staying. He said that the amount of money Paseiro was demanding for a new contract was crazy and that nobody would pay that amount, so it was clear that Paseiro had made up his mind to leave. He said that the NFF should have started searching for a successor right from that time.

2) He said that it was clear that the only friendly window that we had in the FIFA calendar was in March, so if we wanted a new coach we should have gotten one before the friendlies. Once Finidi took charge of the friendlies, it became clear that he was our only choice, because it makes no sense to appoint a new coach and his first match would be a world cup qualifier (without enough time to practice with the boys).

3) He said that President Tinubu has put a lot of pressure on the football authorities because he made it very clear that he wasn't happy with the results of the qualifiers. That's what led to the meeting between the sports minister, the NFF and Finidi.

4) He said that what Finidi actually said at the meeting was that he can't beg any player to play for the Super Eagles. Colin spoke to Finidi and to other people that were at the meeting. That's what Finidi actually said (he didn't single out any player), but some media outlets reported that Finidi said that he can't beg Osimhen to play for the Eagles. That's what led to Osimhen's outburst because he felt that his commitment was being questioned. Colin tried to call Osimhen, but he wasn't picking his calls, he sent him messages, but he hadn't replied by the time they did the spaces.

5) He said that Finidi did not resign because a technical adviser is going to be appointed, rather he resigned because of the way that the matter was handled.

The NFF held a meeting in which they resolved to hire a technical adviser. That meeting was held before the meeting between the NFF, the sports minister and Finidi, yet the NFF did not tell Finidi that they wanted to hire a technical adviser. Finidi flew home after the meeting and there was still no word from the NFF. It was when he got home that China Acheru called him and asked for his comments on the decision to appoint a technical adviser. Finidi said that it was fake news, but China sent him the NFF communique as evidence.

Finidi waited for a few days, but there was still no word from the NFF, so he tendered his resignation.


6) One of the reasons that the NFF appointed Finidi as coach is because they don't have the money to appoint a foreign coach. However, with the pressure from President Tinubu, they are going to find the money one way or another. Some people are talking about a presidential task force to help the NFF raise money and ensure that the Eagles qualify for the World Cup.

🎙 Formations, those are just jagons - Manu Garba U17 coach 🤣🤣

🎙Certainly, the post raises a pertinent question regarding the prevalence of formation deficiencies among Nigerian coaches. It is crucial for coaches to establish a formation and clearly define their team's strategic approach. Execution without a comprehensive understanding of the necessary tactics to counter opponents' strategies is insufficient.

Formation goes beyond merely positioning players; it serves as the foundation for providing instructions on how players should approach matches and respond to various situations. Football encompasses more than simply placing players on the field; it demands a coach with a profound understanding of the game, tactical proficiency, and effective in-game management skills to address unforeseen circumstances.

It is essential to clarify that not all Nigerian coaches share the same shortcomings.

Marjoribanks:
Guirassy has 25 goals in the same Bundesliga. Boniface was not at the AFCON. Contributed little to nothing to Leverkusen passage to the Europa final. Might be in the top 10 but definitely not top 3. APOTY is about your contribution to your team's success at the top level!
Hakimi was at AFCON and contributed to PSG domestic league win and Champions league's push. Worthy!

Una forget haller of Borrusia Dortmund

Deltamani:
I think have found a New Favorite Youngster to Support Henceforth…!

England U17 International Lola Brown, who plays for Chelsea Academy! This Girl literally reminded me of Megan Rapinoe, she looks like her, run like her, plays mostly on the left flank, Crosses the ball like her, good at set pieces… Like everything about her reminds me of Megan Rapinoe!!

me of Megan Rapinoe!!
Is she a Nigerian?
And why are we not tracking this girls into our age grade
Even if na 2

komekn:
Agreed 💯%

I have seen talentless players create talent from hard work and application with determined

First time that komerkn will agreed with someone here
Lol

Eagle trackers is showing it

Where can I watch it on DSTV plss

charlesemeka85:
bassey should start from the left wing back while omeruo takes his place in the LCB position

Zaidu is good in defensive just poor in offensive play... But I won't buy your idea because we easily switch to 5man defence when we're been Press

Sugarboyy:
If APC doesn't present an ESAN candidate, I, a die hard APC supporter and Oshiomhole political son will be supporting and voting Asue Ighodalo.
It's an ESAN agenda and it's a movement both on ground and in the lips of every Edolites. APC better gives the ticket to Onolemhenmen, who is a well known Esan man compared to Ighodalo, else we will bury our own party in this election in Edo State.

Akpakomiza will snatch the party title

Onolemhemen is a no no

I'm going to buy a car next year
Currently I'm broke
But I know and believe 2024 I will own a car and 2025 I will buy this type of xiomi car

Samueltemi337:
Osimhen is actually Etsako not Esan

He's pure Esan boy from ewatto village under ubiaja local government

Olamide is an underrated demigod.

Based on ratings, Olamide is not among the top-three Nigerian musicians. But he has more evergreen songs than those top-three musicians.

His evergreen songs include but are not limited to:
Shakiti Bobo
Wo
Melo Melo
Love no go die
Spirit and etc.

By evergreen songs, I mean songs that will feel new and be repeatedly played even in the next 20 years. None of the top-three artistes has up to 4 evergreen songs.

Most times when he is featured in a song, he delivers better verses than the artist who owns the song. This particular quality is very uncommon in the Nigerian entertainment industry. There are other artistes, who when featured in some songs, occasionally deliver better verses than the owners of the songs, but Olamide is more consistent with that habit. Davido's best performance in a featured song is in Woju by Kiss Daniel. WizKid's best performance in a featured song is in Bend Down Pause by Runtown. But Olamide is outstanding in almost all his featured songs.

Davido - Shoki remix, Indomie remix

Tobias Okiki Lawal.Good to see him against Liverpool and hope NFF can convince him to drop Austria citizenship cuz Austria law is against dual citizenship.It was this barrier that stopped him from featuring for Nigeria under Rohr.

Safarigirl the Law oya cuz you like seeing Nigeria national teams with cute guys and fine girls.

Daddy I think we have chance with atulobi (not sure I got the name spelled correctly) that hamburger GK in bundesliga than this guy... this guy won't drop Austria citizenship for Nigeria o... assuming he will he won't pick Austria u20 over us o

They ought to divide up the broadcast rights.

Propel Sports actually bring an advantage in the long run; low cost of production of games.
The other two will do things the traditional way and that means realistically they would strain [logistically] if they are sole owner of the rights.

However Startimes and MultiChoice are entrenched here already. They wouldn't need to go out of their way to attract eyes.

Propel will need miracles to gain that acceptance in a short time.

So what to do? Divide up the rights.

But me no go hold my breath on anything sha. Na dem sabi

Multichoice won't go for dividing... I think they should just accept startime deal and let see how it goes from there
That stream won't even work in most Southern region too aside lag, pH, Ibadan Sha
Buh putting it on startime/DStv average person can be watching it in beer parlour, club, or at home on weekends

The useless decision they took was the MTN deal
How can you say only MTN user can stream it live
Other network go dey watch highlights
Oshi

Odunayaw:
What you think about the deal

I feel indifferent. Just numb

Same routine every season
This npfl tv can't work, at least they should have accept startime deal , let see how it goes from there
Buh everyone care's about there stomach instead of the growth of the league

BREAKING!!!

@MTNNG secure Exclusive right to NPFL Broadcast Streaming

Propel Sports Africa, the broadcast streaming partners of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has announced a deal with MTN Nigeria for exclusive broadcast of the matches on mobile devices.

UNDERSTANDING THE MTN x NPFL DEAL:

* The word 'EXCLUSIVE' was used in the official announcement.

I reached out to my NPFL source for clarity - My source;

"Only MTN subscribers can access the LIVE games on the NPFL LIVE App. Other network subscribers will have access to the delayed highlights."

My opinion:

* The NPFL and MTN missed the opportunity to break down the details of the deal in terms of exclusivity and access for other network subscribers. There should be a follow-up communication explaining this deal.

The potential of the NPFL x MTN Deal:

* The streaming will cover eight ( live games each weekend, which will translate to over 300 games per season.

* The NPFL x MTN deal includes in-and-post-game highlights delivered in real-time to MTN subscribers through the NPFL Live OTT platform.

* The NPFL & Propel Sports have partnered to launch an NPFL LIVE App. The App will stream NPFL games this season, and the partnership target streaming of over 300 NPFL games this season.
