It is I, the master of unpopular opinions

I remember one time a monicker raised the reason Musa was being invited to the SE was quota system and ethnic bigotry at play but many monickers called him unprintable names. I think it was Komekn or forgiveness who said so

But alas we can all see that the SE team selection has been influenced by the same political nonsense infecting our country today

That's why we shoul learn to respect each other's opinion even if you don't agree

Odunayaw:
where was the whooping last times we met. Alaye gbe adieu e kuro

Alaye Iwo Duro na

Make we meet first

If you read my write up well before commenting, you'll see that I said Algeria has gotten better but we have gotten worse

But you didn't read well

Goodbye.

andrewbaba44:
As far as rohr remains the coach make I see anybody wey go come hype this team for here

Remember when they said Rohr was playing mind games

I saw through Rohr's mediocrity since the run up to our 2018 WC

And we have gotten worse since then while Algeria we whooped have gotten better and will whoop us mercilessly if we face them

Adieu Super Eagles...for the time being

Joebie:
Sometimes I wonder if we snapped up all these unproven coaches from CAR, Liberia etc if we would play better as a team

Rohr would make an opposing team and their coaching staff look "World Class"

I term it "The Rohr Effect"

WoeBetide666:
And the guy talk say ein dey military smh

He works for an NGO and not in the military

Hian, una no dey read?

So quick to attack someone without facts. Haba!!!

Ppogbae:
Prediction:

This team is not qualifying for World Cup


You heard it first from me

Seconded

I am a known pessimist but there are actually grounds for my believe

Rohr is clueless and wil never take us anywhere. He has done his time and I feel strongly it's time to part ways

If we manage to qualify, we would have a worse outing than 2018

Joebie:
make una calm down. opinions are allowed. opinions does not necessarily mean they will materialise.
I said Nigeria will not win AFCON, it doesn't mean they will not eventually. they could win, but I don't think they would win. If someone says Liberia will beat us, na the person get their mouth. It's not like it can never happen. No one would have thought CAR will beat us at home. But it happened. So let people say whatever, wetin go happen go still happen.

make we respect ourselves

Thank you jo

You don talk am finish

Some Folks here can't use their heads to think or engage in a Discourse with sense. If you disagree with a particular view, tackle it with sense. Give your reasons.

We are not getting paid by Seùn to post here. We are simply here to catch fun and meet new friends.

Only Sycophants do hide behind others to throw Jabs. It's not funny when you think your contrary view is right. Give a Reason, let Everyone benefits from it. Put aside your Emotion, and let your brain works.

Bro, the best defense against insults is to ignore them completely

I am gradually learning that and it gives me rest of mind

As long as this is a public forum, there will always be people who throw insults rather than discuss maturely

But when you ignore them, their attacks will wane gradually.

Works like clockwork for me

Oasis001:
I swear.... I hate what football is becoming. I am a United Fan and really dislike Bruno. Stats-wise he's doing fine for United, but guess what he loses possession anyhow.

He would make countless risky passes, and at least 1 or 2 gonna end as Assist. He barely dribbles despite playing as No. 10 for United. He barely supports the Pivot for transition from defense to attack.

He's either competing with No. 9 for Goal or trying as much as possible passes to get at least an Assist. That's not what I subscribed for in football.

When we were young, everyone wanna be called Jay Jay Okocha, only few wanna be called Rashidi Yekini. In fact number of football lovers that would prefer being called Siasia exceed those that wanna be known as Rashidi.

As I pointed out earlier, football is moving away from Hawthorn Effect to Frederick Winslow Taylor's Theory. Players are now robotic - they follow Instructions strictly. Positioning, Movement, Passing, even shooting Range.

Entertainment part of football is fading away. Guess what? Anytime I feel like getting entertained football-wise, I do make use of YouTube to see Clips of De Lima, Gaucho and Okocha.

E dey sweet my belle....

Wow, didn't know that stat padding was also a common occurence in football. Thought it was only in the NBA we had stat padders

Well, since i don't watch bruno closely, I wil take your word for it but it's quite funny though

Reminds me of Russel Westbrook of LA Lakers

Meliforme:
You talk too much.

Bro, no vex but he has a right to his opinion

This na public forum - social media for that matter. He can type as many words as he likes

Not to start any quarrel but to say anybody on this forum talks too much is downright unfair

12large1:
If he qualifies in a group that consists of CV, Liberia and CAR that isn’t a big feat

Gbam

cao:
Red Notice.

6/10 for me

Nothing special in the plot

drDoom3:
Osimhen and Ndidi will not make CAF first 11. That's a fact. Midfield alone has Kessie and Gueye, not forgetting Bennacer and co. You can't leave any of these guys out for Ndidi (Bennacer was the best player last AFCON, Kessie rated as one of the best players overall in Serie A etc).

In attack, Osimhen has not done enough to be considered yet. If he continues in his current form until the end of the season, then we can have that conversation. Mane and Salah must be in the front three, and you can always fill in the last with Zaha, Auba, Mahrez, etc. Hell, even Slimani and Ziyech are rated higher than Osimhen in world football. The reason we celebrate Osimhen so much is that we see his potentials, what he could become in a few years if he is consistent.

My point exactly

Those players you mentioned have antecedents..They have a history and record of good play. Osimhen just started

Glad someone now sees my point

Ppogbae:
I don't think you understand that list. It's an individual all 11. What has the performance of their national teams gotta do with it?

Now, if it was down to fans, it would be a biased and unmeritocratic list as all the positions will be filled by North African stars since their netizens are the most active on the continent. Not even Haller or other sub saharans would make it lol.

Well, you have a point. And I agree.

If it was about Africa first 11, then Maybe Osimhen and Ndidi should make the first team barring any "Ojoro"

However, if CAF decides to release their top 10 list for CAF player of the year award today, then it would be very hard

andrewbaba44:
Was there any season jay jay okocha played better than eto ?

2004-2006 J J was clearly better

But because eto'o plays for barca and other factors sha

andrewbaba44:
You just call anyhow list without position

So no cb

Haba bros

This is my list of how CAF would choose their top 10 players irrespective of position

I amy be wrong tho

12large1:
Anumanu will pick gueye ahead of present ndidi? Ndidi is even worth twice gueye price on transfermarket. Aubemeyang is an African legend, but on current form Osimhen is better. Remember, the argument is “current form 11”

See, left for me, Ndidi is one of the best if not the best 4 in the world

However, you guys ought to know CAF by now

Remember how Etoo aleays won it over JJ and Kanoute even in seasons were they were both better>

CAF will always look to antecedents and past gliry when compiling that list

Forget that twitter post. They don't want Nigerians to wahala them. Hence their attempt at inclusion...lolll

Mo Salah
Sadio Mane
Christopher Nkunku
Sebastian Haller
Idrissa Gueye
Achraf Hakimi
Yvess Bissouma
Pierre Erick Aubameyang
Riyad Mahrez
Hakim Ziyech

And I have not yet included the following:
Fouzi Ghoulam
Frank Kessie
Ismael Bennacer

Pease guys, try to sneak in a Nigerian or two in the above list. Let me get your thoughts.....

Insults are your prerogative but will be ignored as usual

do4luv14:
yet 2 of our players make the list, and in no 1, of their positions,

Hmm...

Do you think if CAF releases their list for most valuable African players...a Nigerian would make top 10?

Just asking

Danielnino00:
What the hell are you talking about?
Which bench will it be hard to make??

There's 3 Nigerian players on that list...

Bros, do other Africans rate our guys as high as we do?

Left to me, Ndidi and Osimhen will start comfortably

However, no Nigerian would make CAF MVP top ten because Nigerian players are not that highly rated in Africa

Ppogbae:


Two of our players are in the starting position

Let's be honest.

If this was down to fans and judges, no Nigerian will make the starting eleven.

Our team hasn't been inspiring and its affecting the profile of our players in Africa

Not hating...I love Osimhen but do other Africans rate him highly?

Subzero047:
CAF combined squad from Twitter

I bet you that it wil be had for a Nigerian player to make the bench with this kind of squad

I am not hating. Just stating facts

Danielnino00:
This is the problem with some of you... You are asked a question, rather than response accordingly,you go ahead spewing some nonsense about disdain and prejudice...
Tell us what the man's tactics are..Every sound manager out there has a tactic and style of play...

Our players play under a specific tactic at their clubs, that's why they excel there... It's in the national team we see them play like amateurs...

So tell us, Mr "I Sabi ball", what's Rohr's tactic?

Sit back and play long through bals to our forwards. Then hope for the best

The above is a summary of Rohr's tactics

crazygod:
Its the other way around. Izzy is a class or two lower than Usman. Besides Usman said if they both collect 100m for a fight, they will definitely fight.

Bros, Izzy is middleweight and Usman is weterweight. Be sure of your facts.

Pimine:
Aswearugaaad

You're not a LFC fan, nicca. You're simply a poorly disguised Chelshit fan!!

Lolll

I can never support chelsea even at gunpoint

That club is wack

I was just been pessimistic is all

forgiveness:
It seems to be a very tough decision.

Ighalo coming in is not bad and it will be unfair to drop Onuachu who runs of form has continued this season from where he stopped last season.

Probably, a panic decision due to the injury that stopped Osimhen from playing the last match.

It shows, the coach doesn’t have confidence in the backup strikers on the bench.

Then my question is, why bring them to the team if you can not rely on them?

The coach has nothing to offer.

Excellent Post

Remember those days people blamed our mediocre play against teams (during the pre-WC 2018 tourney) on Rohr playing mind games

Chai, the good old days

chikason22:
The line up is out.
Nice one.

They will capitalize on Salah's wing to wreck havoc defensively

All players on nthat wing are defensive liabilities

Simeony007:
Please which club you dey coach first, which position them dey?

Fantasy manager which position you dey, e bi like say go fit coach Man United pass ole?

Give me a chance. I may do better than Ole

I am a Liverpool fan

BUT

Athletico will capitalize on our defensive lapses...especially TAA

Please Konate or VVD should go and rest

VVD is a shadow of himself

And Oxlade-chamberlain should be sold. He offers nothing to the team currently

iamyemiakins:
Who compiled this wack list

My thoughts exactly

I am like - what the Bleep!!!

posty56:
I don't trade words online I simply right ok or just ignore you instead of dragging myself in mud, besides will Smith and Jada that is married aren't his family dysfunctional? he son Jayden is a gay, drug addict junkie, weird tattoos, in daughter I don't understand that one, so how did come up with the conclusion a single parent will raise dysfunctional family? my decision not marry stems from the fact that I don't just fancy the idea of spending my life with one person or somebody disturbing me to know my whereabouts I don't have that strength or nagging , I don't like nagging so my guy leave that guy up there, as far as you surround children with love care(motherly figure) and discipline you go dey alright.

I know many single fathers raising godly kids and even single mothers. I wonder where he got his statistics from
