Yomii: We need coach who knows the technical and tactical know how... NFF should choose wisely. Though Keshi tried but...

homesteady: are you guys even sure that the Cuadrado will come? haven't even read any serious news of barca tracking the guy! BTW what happened to Montoya? was he injured?

homesteady: ehennn! Who do you guys think should be our No 1 keeper? bravo or that ter segen boy?

bykebyke: If we sell Alves and Cuadrado comes...Who competes with Cuadrado?..

bykebyke: Alves is just 31....



He still has a lot to offer!!

homesteady: how will our formation be if we buy suarez?

bykebyke: Yes ooo...and I don't think Alves should be sold, you would be surprised at what competition can do!!

coded01: When asked if President Goodluck Jonathan intervenes and sort things out like he did after the Africa Cup of Nations, Keshi said: ‘’As much as I respect and appreciate the number one citizen of the country I am afraid that this time it is going to be difficult. I am totally done with some of these people”.

bizngr: Babayaro is right.

coded01: “To me he is looking for attention and maybe he is at cross roads over to stay or leave, he appears confused a bit as he loves Nigeria and his job.”

ddippset: revolt?? ha, wetin de vex you na? A lot of people hear can vouch for me that I should be 100 x happier than you if messi is made captain. Some of us only think iniesta is next in line and will get it. I prefer messi but iniesta should. Don't worry be happy.

bykebyke: Imagine if Suarez bites Pepe..





Blood go flow!!

The scramble for who takes over the position of Super Eagles coach has started after France kicked Eagles out of the Brazil World Cup.
Keshi had delivered a valedictory speech to his players at the dressing room in Brasilia after they were bundled out 2-0 by France to signal the rush for applications by many coaches who admire the glut of talents that abound in the Super Eagles.

But an official of the NFF who pleaded anonymity confirmed that they have been besieged by many interests from foreigners but said that it was too early for them to disclose the identities of such coaches since Keshi had not tendered his resignation letter to the body.

‘’Everything we have heard about his resignation is from the press. He has not informed us formally and as such, we still consider him as our coach.

Many coaches have expressed their interests in the job but we need to meet and review our performance in the World Cup and sundry issues. If he insists on resigning, definitely, his position will be taken over by someone else. But for now, he is still our coach”, one of the influential officials of the football house told Sports Vanguard here in Brazil.

Keshi yet again gave a hint that he was done with the Eagles job in an interview he granted TheCable and was asked if he has resigned;

‘’ Yes. I have done my bit. I am tired of all the intrigues and backbiting and insinuations I get”.

When asked if President Goodluck Jonathan intervenes and sort things out like he did after the Africa Cup of Nations, Keshi said: ‘’As much as I respect and appreciate the number one citizen of the country I am afraid that this time it is going to be difficult. I am totally done with some of these people”.

bykebyke: Tactically and technically, the Suarez signing seems perfect for a Barca side in need of renovation and renewal. Now, all he has to do is behave himself...

bykebyke: Never..rather take me for a Getafe fan!!

Atlanta 96 Olympic Gold medalist, Emmanuel Babayaro has reacted to Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi’s denial about his resignation from his role.

Keshi was widely reported to have resigned from his role after Nigeria’s loss to France in the round of 16 after a meeting with his players.

However, Keshi denied he has resigned yesterday saying he bid his players farewell because his contract will expire after the World cup and he hasn’t been offered a new one.

Babayaro known for his fearless stand on issues described his denial as that of a confused man.

“When I read about his denial, I felt disappointed because he failed to convince me with his side of the story” He said.

“To start with he didn’t deny he wished his players bye, if he truly have hopes of continuing he won’t address his players so fast, at least let the pain of crashing out subside a little, and maybe hear from the NFF bigwigs before telling his players he might not continue like he claimed.

“To me he is looking for attention and maybe he is at cross roads over to stay or leave, he appears confused a bit as he loves Nigeria and his job.”

The owner of Pioneer football club also urge the NFF hierarchy to address the issue of Keshi’s stay or departure with all urgency as the 2015 Africa Nations cup is around the corner.

“Our first qualifier for the Nations cup in 2015 is less than two months away,we should be concern with players invitations not who will handle the team?”

“The NFF most move quickly,make a decision on his future to avoid panics when the qualifiers are close or begin. “
Africa champions, Nigeria are grouped with Sudan, South Africa and a yet to be known team after the third round of qualifiers is decided.

bykebyke: Where

bykebyke: Keep Calm

Mcleo007: By hierarchy, the captains are:
Iniesta
Messi
Pique.

dmcdad: Mehn... See interpretation sha!

ddippset: I don't interprete it as captaincy. He will remain the main player and the hub of the team like he has been for the past 5 years even with puyol as captain. I think iniesta will be captain.

MCMLXXVI: Did you and the Lagosians do the same street justice to Berti Vogts when Nigeria crashed out in the nations cup quarter finals, or did you and those Lagosians do the same street justice to Lagerback when Nigeria crashed out of South Africa with just 1 point?

danot1030: u are an idiot, wot has u or any member of ur family achieve for nigeria.

Tpappie: as if yu were reading mind. I tot that style is old school... Cos that first goal wudnt have scored.

Rossikk: You're a basta'rd and a liar, Matuidi. You were designated to take out Onazi as a direct order from your bosses, which you carried out to perfection. Now kindly fu.c.k off, you corrupt, lying, dirty cheat.

Motixsis: Thanks... same goes for you too
