And all of them may end up playing for Morocco,

But when it comes to young Nigerians FB at the big clubs,90% of them will decide to wait for their countries of birth.
Nigeria players are the most unpatriotic
Hmmm

Can you really blame them?

Morocco has a better footballing structure that is world class. We don't have auch

Morocco CA doesn't owe match bonuses sor hire incompetent coaches that collect bribes. This is something that had been endemic in our NFF before the arrival of Chelle

Morocco has world class stadiums and a clear development template. We don't have such

There's your answer bro. It isn't that they are unpatriotic but if you were in thwir shoes, you may make the same choices as them too

Penalty or no penalty

Senegal deserved to loose that game

Conceding 2 goals in such critical time is unforgiveable

From the start of this tournament, they've looked like the shadow of themselves

We have oo bro…Africa may not have won the world cup…But the likes of Super eagles raised a high standard in 1994 and 1998, Senegal gave a good account in 2002, Ghana did well in 2010, Morocco brushed their way to the semifinals in 2022.
Thats a good statement/pedigree from African teams which we(Africans) need to sustain every worldcup edition.
Enough of cowardice display that will always see these Europeans dominate us
Omo, I slept off early yesterday

Just watch that France highlights

Bro, the team wey go bewt France has to sacrifice 20 Virgins ooo with one babe inside deep forest for oyo state

Because this team too fluid brother. See passes, see shooting, see midfield.

When will Nigwria get to this level Olorun?

A super eagle team can lose to Ghana,Morocco etc but will catch Poland(Lewandoski) catch Iceland(Sigurdudson and all the son son son), Catch Bosnia(Edin Dzeko) and flog them and this una Norway.
I will only shut up if its a Croatia,France,Portugal and some Uplevel world cup european regular teams(Denmark,Switzerland….

its the truth...

in normal states and countries, the agency or institution for waste management is the one to maintain and keep the state clean..

but in SW states, if the Governor is a puppet of wyte people he will ensure the waste management agency is useless..

after all, its the same employees that were there in the previous government that made it clean and the present government that made it dirty.....

Akeredolu has transitioned and the name of the current governor is Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa...

Am just saying this Black African teams need to invest in sport psychologist or a motivational speaker

This mental imposter syndrome they have needs to be removed.
This is what I said about the national team of the super eagles

I don't even care about other african teams. The super eagles of today lack that winning mentality to grind out results that actually matter against an equally strong side

Mujtahida:
My brother, if I talk people will think I am a self hating black. Not at all but our character as a race is something else.

As a race, or let me narrow it to Nigerians: We love failure so much to the extent that if one person takes us high, we find it difficult to remain there. We are so used to failure that success makes us uncomfortable.

It's not in us abeg. But that's not the issue. We are not ready to create an alternative culture like Morocco has done.

Watch this clip


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn_ok0gnL-8?si=8pH-PBIN7lS1w7Wc
We love mediocrity as a race

When we see one person breaking boundaries, we term it oversabi

If you enter the head of the JFF leadership, you'll see that their goal is to embezzle

As a culture, when we see ourselves in leadership positions where we can implement policy changes, we rather see it as "God has done it for me, let me see how this benefits me first". A culture of selfishness which breeds corruption

Mujtahida:
I'm happy Morocco won. Planning and systems win over magic thinking.

And I think this reflects the character of Morocco in other aspects too. Their tourism industry is one of the best in the world.

Here we'd rather die than plan. If we plan, to execute am, wahala. One person go siddon chop all the money.

I hate heterogeneous societies. If we were all one or two or even three ethnic groups, it would have been better.

There's this sense of lack of ownership that drives corruption in Nigeria.

Inspite of my avowed antagonism to all African countries, I really do wish Morocco well.
Very true

You cannot hate Morocco. My ill-feelings towards them is due to the various shenanigans they pulled st the last AFCON. However, they play beautiful football and my hate regardless, they could go all the way to the semi finals like the last time. Only Senegal matches them (in talent) but they have the best football structure in Africa currently

When people think Nigeria football will move forward, I admire their optimism. The only reason there's a glimmer of hope now is that we have an egunje-less coach. A coach that loves his job, knows his job and wants to move on from the old guard

Hopefully, the corrupt demons at the glass house and technical committee don't hinder him
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Blueelf: 9:58am On Jun 30
I believe strongly in our boys because we have a Coach now that cares, that wants to see us better and is passionate about the job. Were not had this type of coach in a long while

That said, what chelle needs to do now is find a lot of replacements for that midfield. And I'm not saying he should send any player packing. NO. We need to strengthen that midfield. You see Morocco play so well because they have welcomed midfield , good in transition amd disciplined to close down spaces

We can't tell on iwobi all the time. The last AFCON showed us that and I remember before the Morocco match warning us that since all our forward attempts started with him, any tactical coach will close him down

We need to step up and do better. We have a large talent pool and we need to start contacting many of these players and bringing them in. We can't keep depending on the same players, tactics etc. Ndidi is getting old and his legs are tiring out. We also need younger and hungrier players to deputise for our attackers. The era of seeing ejuke or Simon on the bench should be phased out. These guys offer nothing to us except mindless dribbling or off-target crosses.

I'm glad we invited femi azeez when we did. I see him playing for a top 4 team in 2-3 years if he doesn't relent on his work ethic

Our central midfield is the weakest part of our team and reinforcements are needed

Hope you guys can sew the winning mentality most African teams have showcased in this tournament

When it mattered the most, they've shown courage and strength. This is lacking in the current Super Eagles. Sir mujtahida, has my point been made or not? Hope you can see it now?

Automatically, super eagles is a laughing stock. All of the African teams that made it through no have bragging right and rightfully so.

NFF, wrll done oo!!!

Yeye administration

Let someone hype nonsense for any of these players again. I guess we won't be seeing ludicrous comparisons to actual world class players again

FiveFootNinja:
Most pundits I've seen online and offline insist that Zadok's dribbles are purposeful and decisive, as opposed to Chukwueze and Ejuke who dribble for the sake of it, and don't actually know exactly what they want to do with the ball moving forward.

I'm sha rooting for the lad. Anybody that can give Chukwueze a run for his money and make him sit up is a welcome addition in my book. We'll likely see him at the AFCON qualifiers later this year or at most the U-23 AFCON next year.
Sani Suleiman just came back from injury -if I'm not mistaken

I heard RB Leipzig are looking to integrate him into the first team as soon as possible because yan diomande may move away this summer

This is someone chelle should also monitor

This chukwueze that people have been waiting to improve for over 8 years now - I think the train has reached ita final destination

Mujtahida:
I watched Dembele yesterday curling balls into the back of the net and it made me think: why can't Chukwueze play like this?

If he attempts to drift across the final third, the ball gets taken from him. If he attempts to dribble, the ball becomes tangled in his legs or gets taken away.

He rarely crosses the ball.

We need a more effective player on that right. I prefer Azeez to Zadok. To me Azeez has that kind of Lookman's intelligence.

Dribble to the touch line like Ikedia irritates me. And that's how I see Zadok. I might be wrong sha
You're not wrong

Nigerians just like the superficial nonsense that comes with mindless dribbling is the reason chukwueze is rated

In most European teams, coaches will bench him. He adds nothing of value to pur scoreline

African teams were given 10 slots. Unprecedented by FIFA

All naija had to do was get at least 1 of those slots. Not 2, just 1.

We didn't. We didn't qualify for 2022 and now again, we didn't

What makes this more painful?? We have at least 6 African teams in the knockout stages (if I'm not mistaken) - this is unprecedented as well

But no, some people will rather you smooth the ego of players who don't see playing for the National team as thwir pride and joy

In as much as we can blame the NFF and Finidi George, the players share a huge chunk of that blame

Games you should've won at home, you draw such that you garnered a measly 2 point from several games

Yet you want to go to the world cup.

God of soccer gave you a second chance against DRC, yet you couldn't get over the hump. But no, Super Eagles players are world class...lolllll

In a working country:

The entire NFF would've resigned, including the fake guardiola called Eguaveon

Some players should never be invited to the Super Eagles again. Chukwueze should've been disciplined for the comments he made after missing that penalty at AFCON. No need for rafiu durosinmi, Bonifsce or arokodare. These ones aren't footballers but faux-yahoo guys with athleticism.

A sports psychologist should've been hired for the National teams. They seem to become lily-livered at critical games.

Sports minister should've been asked to resign

Finidi shouldn't have been allowed to coach even in the NPFL because he even failed there before failing on a grand stage at the Senior Team

Our grassroots football would've been taken seriously. I see some people defending age-chesting on this thread - "na you born am"

Last last, it'll be rinse and repeat.

Don't worry, I am quite sure that if nothing drastic is done, they'll miss the world cup again next time amd waste osihmen and lookmans prim

Na here we dey.

NFF has turned the national team to ridicule in the eyes of other Africans

Very demonic organization that has nothing good in mind for national team
