Why? Ah. Never tire o! Una never see anything. We are eating the fruits of our labour -- or lack of labour -- whatever you wish to call it. As far as this World Cup is concerned, everybody must feel the pain, because we're too unserious. All of us. From the NFF, to the players to even the fans. Look at South Africa and Ghana making us look like a bunch of unserious clowns on the global stage. We thought the qualifiers was going to be a breeze and didn't even bother to do the bare minimum. Imagine prosecuting the earlier and most important stages of our qualifiers with people like Uzoho and Sodiq and Tianimu. Then it took us centuries to get a proper coach for the qualifiers and by the time we got a coach, it was already over. It was a miracle we even qualified for the playoffs cause we didn't deserve that either. The so-called playoffs went to shit anyways no thanks to the unseriousness of the NFF and the players. And foolish fans were here patting players on the back over a misfired boycott that practically sealed our fate against DRC. It was one fatal misstep after one fatal misstep all the way to the finish line. I'm happy I'm not the only one feeling the pain. Everybody must cry.

Kudos to the NSC for the Chelle move, but if they really want to show me that they're serious and have repented from their criminal ways, they must start working seriously to get rid of Gusau and Sanusi. They must also seek out a competent technical director. Eguavoen cannot be the everlasting technical director for the Super Eagles.

You're very right

I cannot disagree with anything you said 100%

You're very right.

However, someone wants us to see the players as beyond reproach

While the NFF carries the majority of the blame, we cannot excuse the poor performances of the players

From thwir play on the pitch to the lack of urgency with which they prosecuted the matches, their unseriousness was evidence

The choice of clueless coaches and an even dumber technical director in the person of Eguaveon

I saw finidi lamenting that the I-23 job and senior team job will be too much for Chelle. It is because such indigenous coaches would not have access to egunje.

Imagine calling tianimu to man the central defence. This nonsense and many other questionable invites contributed to our horrendous performances

This is a world cup for the b8g boys

All the world class attackers are on 2 goals +

How I wish osimhen made it

Oga mujtahida

There's no need foe the back and forth with that guy
He is a living proof that being a lot of people consider an unnecessary loud, overbearing ITK as being intelligent.
This thread is for everyone and conflicting views are welcome. What use is it if everyone agrees with each other all the time. Even in a military regime, it doesn't work like that

I am free to air my views as I deem fit. If you don't agree with it, scroll and move on. But when my views causes you to loose sleep and you spend three pages castigating anyone that sees sense in what I say, it makes me doubt your intelligence.

Everyone was here when I told people that just because we didn't make it doesn't mean that there aren't some European teams currently in this world cup that we can't beat and the same guy was acting excited like a child.
I can praise the super eagles today and castigated them tomorrow because I actually want what's best for them. I may come off as abrasive or too pessimistic but everyone expresses themselves in different ways and a sensible person should allow for that fact.

But NO, you meant to behave like Idi-Amin, censoring everyone and acting like you're the only one with a working brain. No matter what you think you've achieved educationally, you're not feeding anyone on this thread and everyone I REPEAT, EVERYONE,, has a right to an opinion

Bot only that, he'll start calling names and then cries bloos-gilled tears when the other pwrson reciprocates his energy.

He hasn't started crying oo. He should continue because I've not even aired my most abrasive of views.

Please sir mujtahida, just let the matter be. Some people can't be reasoned with.

If I see a team that will best the Super Eagles tomorrow, I'll say it with my full chest. Aftwrall, this same time played horrendous football in the qualifiers a d when it mattered the most, they'll always buckle under pressure.

How can I be pandering to someone on this thread like I'm a yes-man? I am nobody's sycophant here. And if you have them in multitudes on this forum, I'm not one of them

Oga, if he doesnt like my views, let him move on amd stop acting like a petulant child

When you tell someone of these foreign burns to represent Nigeria, it seems as if you're prevent8ng them from reaching thwir full potential

Look at Tomori who's a regular for AC Milan missing out on the world cup while a Dan Burn of Newcastle is "good enough" to be on the bench

I reiterate that had Look.an and Bassey chosen other countries, I doubt they'll get the same level of prowess or respect they have now from.Naija fans from the fans of those other countries

Tomori's case is especially painful.because I would pair him with bassey instead of Semi Ajayi and he adds more depth and experience to our team

Now, I doubt he ever features for the 3 lions again.

Same with tammy Abraham, except I don't believe he is much better than our second-rayed attackers we currently have (I'm talking about those on the bench)

It's a pity

Ghana will win Croatia 1nil. Bookmark this

E fit pass 1 bro
The Croatia team was built around an aging modric. His legs are g9ne and their defence opens up too much

Roland17:
The Knicks should stop trying to hold the entire league hostage! They are demanding apologies from everyone one now!

Alaye you have won, move on abeg! This is what is annoying to me because you are not the first to win the title and by no means were you underdogs throughout the playoffs, including the Finals.

They demanded an apology from Stephen A, he apologized.. Only you are now demanding apologies from Wemby, R. Beadle and now B. Hammon!

Man!!!! Just go on with your ring..

Not like they would even repeat next year

Success just did view once for them

In fact, they ain't winking another ring for 10yrs at least

Omo, those Colombians get bullet for leg oo and the sccu4acy ehn

Chelle taking over the U-23 is good news provided he won't be strong-armed into choosing Home-based players by force

Let the vest players be selected and let everyone earn his place

BTW, Nnadi, and the likes who are already in the Senior team and fall within that age bracket should be picked as well

elyte89:
Chelle is already working on it with the introduction of Azeez and co ..we can’t be stuck with Moses and chukwueze for almost 12years of unproductive output and still expect results,chelle sef don tire for dem

D next two players I want serious competition for is ndidi and iwobi …These two players holding our midfield too hasn’t achieved anything together..no trophy,no World Cup appearance (2 in a row) ,let’s ease dem to d bench

See that Ndidi and Iwobi ehn, we need replacements for them too, especially iwobi

Our central midfield is too full of DMs with little to no creativity. It's easier to replace Ndidi than it is to replace Iwobi

That's what I said the other time that wr lack a creative central midfielder but oga Kog45 said chelle should figure out how to play without a CAM. The only way I see it is if Chelle uses the wings which is a tactic that becomes easy to figure out

chrisooblog:
See what I mean? @supernerd.

Loll, this one is tagging his taskmaster

You never begin cry. You go cry tire

Let me tag him foe you properly

Thesupernerd, one of your boys is reporting me to you. Come and spank me

Bunch of 🤡 🤡

chrisooblog:
Doc honestly you get time and energy!

Yorubas say a person pretending to be asleep can never be woken up.

Sometimes I'll see some posts and want to respond but I'll rethink it again because it's not worth it if the person you're replying is in a passionate relationship with agenda.

Once someone opinion doesn't agree with yours, automatically it's agenda

There's nobody on this thread who should act as a know all and everyone is entitled to their opinion
.
Someone who thinks everyone must agree with him and he cannot be questionsled. As how?

Is there anybody feeding another person here? When did this place become a military dictatorship.
Abeg rest!!!

Ejuke and.chukwueze offers little to nothing to the current Super Eagles

But it seems we can't get better, thus we are stuck with them. Moses Simon is even worse

And yes, Cabo Verde may defeat the Supwr Eagles in a competitive match

I HAVE MADE MY POINT. LET HE WHO WANTA TO HAVE HIGH BP HAVE IT

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Goke7:
They are in a very tough group than imagined as France and Norway are not in this competition to make up the numbers. If they were in a easier group I believe they would have scaled through

The opposition you meet in at the group stage matters a lot.

You have a point, however, those defensive errors by Kalidou could be capitalised on by even weaker teams tbh
And let's be honest with ourselves, we all expected them to at least nick a point from Norway. Some even had them beating Norway

Mujtahida:
Darkelf does have a point even though his abrasive tone tends to overshadow it.

His point that Cape Verde players play with courage is valid. Our players often chicken out.

We didn't lose against DR Congo on footballing terms. We lost because our players were intimidated by the size and sheer physicality of the Congolese.

I was reminded of that seeing the WC training pics of the Congolese today.

Thanks for making my point in a "less abrasive" manner

Someone I know said Senegal only knows how to play African teams
That they lack mentality and flair against Europeans in competitive games
Next AFCON, they will form merlin

WhiteIverson:
Senegal needs to trash Iraq

Funny thing is, they may not

They may win but not "thrash"

Mujtahida:
African players dominate European leagues from France to Czech, from England to Hungary playing with and against the best in the world and they still suffer from inferiority?

In a certain sense you are right. If not how can we explain some of these loses.

Na wa.

Bro, na fear mixed with inferiority

Fear - you see a team with star-studded players and you already loose battle in your mind before the game starts
Inferiority because by historical accounts, African teams haven't really done well compared to European teams and you feeling not your right to progress

Senegal - the most disappointing team at WC 2026

One would've thought that at least, they'll make it to the round of 16

But the coach was too sentimental with his selections

Kalidpu was too old and heavy. Mbaye Niang shouldv3 been starting. Mane was very rusty

A disappointing end to a promising side

The world is surprised by cabo Verde performance at WC but those who have watched the past 2 AFCONs are not..

International coaches (outside Africa) don't pay attention to the AFCON and it shows

Had they done that, they would probably not have underrated them

First Spain, and now Uruguay

They deserve to go theough to the next round. They've shown elite mentality which the Super Eagles team of overrated stars (bar osimhen) haven't shown

TheSuperNerd:
Belgium will be totally annihilated by Nigeria according to your braindead logic since they could not get past an Iran that a 2nd string Nigerian team beat 2-1.

Nope

Football isn't math

Our players lack the winning mentality when it most matters

Fix your superolodo logic first

The Super Eagles will struggle against Congo and C.Verde

These two teams have shown that they truly merit thwir place at the sundial

What is lacking in the Super Eagles team isn't talent (even though some people here overrate many of the guys at times) but discipline and that winning mentality
And yes, if they're not careful, they'll miss out on the next world cup and waste this present generation of attackers at their prime

TheSuperNerd:
A right of speech freedom dedicated to uttering nonsense is a waste of rights.

Qatar 1-1 Switzerland - "Nigeria is behind Qatar in football..."

Now CV 2-2 Uruguay - "Nigeria cant beat Cape Verde."

You are competing for worst football takes on this thread with the person who made the Qatar statement.

The Super Eagles will struggle against this cabo Verde team and your faux-intelligence will not do anything about it

Go and tell your players in the SE to work on their mentality and stop depending on their overrated talent

Papi85:
ATM and Galatasaray which one get pedegree pass?

There's no way bayern or barcelona will spend more than 80million on a "Black African" player and i know galatasaray will most likely not accept that figure. If you think racial bias doesn't determine transfers, then you're a child

But I like as all of them are deluded. Some people here think that the presidents of Barca, Bayern or Arsenal are from their villages

In fact, i even forsee him remaining as galatasary

zlatan:
Are our refineries working?
Don't they have staff working with them....lool

so you're supporting evil abi

"make i sha chop, the nation can go to hell for all I care"

You're part of the problem with this your mentality

Osimhen would eat in this athletico team

If Alvarez leaves next season, they should go for osimhen if they can. Unpopular opinion but osimhen would be better off in athletico.

There would be too much clash of egos in bayern and barcelona. In Athletico, he would be a very effective target man that presses real well from the front, just like simeone likes them

On a day Lookman was the true center of attention and he did score to be fair, it is Raphael Onyedika who really shone above everyone else on the pitch. Goal, Assist, 100% accurate long balls, 13 final third pass entries, 7 recoveries...
