Eriokanmi: Senegal is really entertaining us , displaying the real soccer skills. Politics has destroyed our sports in Nigeria. I'm not interested in watching any super chickens who would only cause me a needless HBP. I wish the NFF could be privatised.
Anyone who visits surulere, agege or national stadium on a Saturday will selected the best 11 that can compete with any team in the world. At NFF, Jersey is for the highest bidder .
Are you just knowing this?
There is a reason the team is made up of Foreign based players. These are players who earn in higher currencies and local player cannot compete with them to bribe their way in, unless that person has rich sponsor. It is a sad situation
femi4: Your point is useless Population don't play sports
You are more useless with your view. Did you even read my posting? What point do you have?
If you have a huge population, there should be at least one sport, within your region, you'd dominate. In this situation, within the African continent. Those countries with big populations dominate in areas their populations have passion from childhood days.
I won't waste my time educating and enlightening your ignorance and primitivenesss
Don't mention me again. You can die in your ignorance if you want
Rostikol: Population has nothing to do with soccer, or China would have won the World Cup 20 times.
It depends on your priority as a country. Chima have ateeas of sports they dominate, likewise the US.
Which sports does a country of 200million people dominate in their continent? Football is what Nigerians play from childhood, like Ping Pong for the Chinese. Please do not use this excuse to console yourself from not winning country of 1.6 million. According to FIFA ranking, Nigeria ranks higher than Equitorial Guinea with more than 40 countries m separating the two
bentenny: If we had a properly run league without corruption,we would have gotten a full team that can stand shoulder to shoulder against the likes of Senegal! Was this not the same league that Taye Taiwo of Lobi stars went straight to the Marseille first team?
JoshTim: Those responsible for the draw- Zanusi- missed 2 good chances Osimhen- missed 2 good chances Alex iwobi- that guy does not deserve the role of a midfielder...
Best Nigerian Player on the field- Alhassan Yusuf. Na only this guy put body for this game.

Yusuf showed himself. I wish his injury is not serious.
Iwobi gets call-up maybe because he has godfather in Okocha. Was he not the one who got unnecessary red card in our last AFCON match?

Nazgul: The truth is that Oshimen is just an average player. There's nothing special about him.
Nigeria needed to hype him after he did well in Seria A. He is not average at club level, but for Super Eagles, he's actually average (coach should have confidence to sub him when need be)
Can NFF organise like a small tournament beteeen these foreignbased players who we see on TV and local players? Say in a group of 4. From there, the national team can be selected. I don't think Nigeria should rely only on players who play abroad and are seen (and known) on television
benalvino3: How is the coach? Even if you bring pep and anchelotti to coach these guys they will be sheet. Nigerians no serious for anything except japa.
And na Japa players are representing the local Nigerians
MT: Gyan of Ghana was shown on the screen and the commentator said - " He will never forgive Suarez, who stopped him from taking Africa to the semi final of the world cup"
What's the correlation?
Amokachi is just not meant to be a commentator. Let him try other job options
OgaRico: Okay. But we are mixed with our colonial masters too. At least you can see that you and I are communicating with their language instead of communicating in any of our indigenous languages in Nigeria.
Is Amokachi the other commentator? He's Mmmh... yeah... response though
Must it be past super eagles to be commentator? Is he not making the commenting bit dull while affecting the sweet comments of the other guy?
gerrardomendes: Ok. Hope you've gotten your calculators ready. Super eagles will teach you mathematics. "If we draw with Cote D'Ivoire, and Equitorial Guinea wins....
Mine is YAKUBU AIYEGBENI. Despite his Atrocious World Cup Miss in South Africa 2010, I believe he still remains one of the Best Strikers this country has produced.🙂
From what Mikel said it seems there are cliques within the team. And that trend might have continued, even in the present Super Eagles. There is a reason Musa is still invited amd made the captain. It seems he is a unifier in the team. Take him out, those with Foreign passports (Owobi, Troost, Lookman etc.) may want to lead. Those raised in Nigeria will also want to lead. Award winners may see themselves as superior, while looking down on those playing in lower leagues or Local leagues.
If Musa should not be the captain, I'd suggest Ndidi to take over. He seems calm and coordinated
