MegMich: My dear! Is it not obvious Keshi has under achieved?. Safe for the referee, we won't have made the round of 16.
No doubt he's done QUITE well, I still put it down to LUCK.
He's spent 2years so whatWhat of VanGaal, Sabella, not to talk of Mourinho who has performed consistently!
Consistency is the name of the game. If you ask me, he's in the same league as Chelsea's Di matteo, Avram Grant to mention but a few. He's no where near class.
He aided Togo in their world cup quest....what happened afterwards? They couldn't even scale through the group stage of the nations cup @ Egypt 2006. What happened when he headed Mali? Same story.
Luckly, NFF employed him. He handed us the Nations cup. So what? The games we played through luck.@ world cup,
a group Arsene Wenger predicted we did emerge from. He clamed Iran build a wall in front of Goal. What an excuse! How did Argentina and Bosnia break it? Excuses!!!
We saw this coming tho!!! Didn't win any of our preparatory games.
Nigeria a mediocre team? Yeah, just maybe. Look @ Costarica Algeria etc are they any better?
Blamed the loss to Argentina to respect!!! Yeah,just like Costarica respected the likes of Italy,Uruguay...EXCUSES.
He blamed it on in-experience. Hmmmmmm!, Colombia is huh?
Keshi abeg take your trade elsewhere.
What ain't good for Mali and Togo is definately not good for Nigeria.
I rep Naija!

jhidey08: I jst confirmed dat I've been wasting my tym arguing wit u since.

vokalguy: I totally get your point and I agree with you BUT I don't think it will be a bad idea to have a coach that has tactical knowledge and implement a 'total football' mentality on his team. I would love us to meet the likes of Ghana, Egypt or any big African country and beat them comfortably. I am sure you will agree with me when I say Keshi cannot read a game to save his life... well most of the time he is sitting down chewing gum

MegMich: Bad business!!
Many say it's good for continuity---what is there to continue? Poor performances huh?
Don't have anything against Keshi buh its obvious he's ran out of ideas or rather luck.
Evidence---couldn't eliminate a depleted Ghanian team @ CHAN,could only win Haiti @ CONFED, qualified for round of 16f albeit luck, poor referee showing and spirit of sportmanship of Bosnia... Failed to sub his golden boy Mikelis Obilis,poor selections( Ameobi,Azeez,Yobo...endless list)
You only give room for improvement when reasonable space exists.
What ain't good for Togo and Mali definately will do us no good.
He said he's got offers? Where are they? Even South Africa has abandoned him.
Keshi will do us no good..
We've got better men-- Oliseh, Kanu, Okocha etc
I don talk my own.

vokalguy: PERSONALLY, I do not think its a good move. Looking at it from two different perspective; continuity is good for our country, I do not remember the last time we had one person manage the super eagles for more than 3 years. On the other hand, I think Keshi lacks tactical discipline... yea we can get away with it against African teams but outside the continent, I feel we barely threaten these so called 'big teams'. This should be a source of concern to the NFF. Keshi should either be assisted by a technical adviser OR he goes for training or something. I do not think 'big boss' should be too big to learn from European managers.

jhidey08: pple lyk u can neva learn, until u go outside and fumble. Sweeper as a position in football isn't a technical name bt a position invented by sum defenders, in all d lessons I've taken in football in my lyf I've neva heard of a sweeper. It's jst lyk using a 1970 Biology textbook and using it 2 argue with sum1 who has d latest edition. Did u knw dat in 1978 world cup dere ws nothing lyk back pass? D goalkeeper is allowed 2 catch a ball deliberately passed 2 him by his teammate without being penalized, bt it's no more in use. What year do u think d "offside" rule ws introduced? Pls try and ask 'ur google' and check d possibility of using a 'sweeper' in d game of footbal. There might be sumthing lyk a "sweeper" in d football of d past bt football of nowadays, dere is nothing lyk dat.
I'm stl standing on my point, ask ur google again if football is diff 4rm soccer or not.
And in d diagram u illustrated, how many players do u av on dat field?
U claim 2 av a FIFA coaching licence and u stl argue dis way, brother, u're sumthing else. An empty barrel makes d loudest noise truly.

jhidey08: guy, football is diff 4rm soccer if u dunno. Sweeper in soccer? May be in d 1960s o, bt nowadays dere's nothing lyk sweeper in d game of soccer. LFB= left full back, RFB= right full back. Dat was a mistake.

berem: ok you win!

Eldavido1: How idi0tic can one reason? nurses are paid # 30000 as hazard allowance while doctors receive #5,000 and ure here talking crab. Someone is exposed daily to the risk of HIV, hepatitis, various infections and now Ebola and dis fool is comparing it with ordinary passengers and air hostess. May thunder strike NMA if they call off dis strike witout our demand being met.

jhidey08: hahahahaha, brother y? U jst made my day with dis response. I won't xplain anything 2u anymore, I think I understand who u're now. In case of next tym, dere is nothing lyk Sweeper in d game of football (is football a kind of office job dat u need a sweeper?).

GK=Goalkeeper
CB=Central back
LFB=Left wing back
RWB=Right wing back
CM=Central Midfield
DMF=Defensive midfield
AMF=Attacking midfield
LWA=Left wing attack
RWA=Right wing attack
SS=Supporting striker
CF=Central forward.

Mind u, playing football doesn't mean u knw football. Abi na hockey u dey talk?

4evaRich: which book ?

mikeansy: 15 players in football?

1-1-3-3-3-3-1 formation?

Komedy: wat an exceptional goat,a goat that won ur country d nations cup after 19years,got to d 2nd round of d worldcup after 16years,I am so proud of that goat!!!

jhidey08: I'll only further argue with u if u can tell me full meaning of doze positions and c if dey make sense 2 u. Only den I'll believe u really knw sumthing abt football.

phuckNL: It doesn't matter. It's what you inferred from your comparison.

jhidey08: which 1 is LM, MRF, MC, AMC? I only knw of RMF, CM, AMF,LMF and DMF as midfielders o, mind u, diz players r midfielders only if a team plays 4-4-2 formation. Pls tell me d formation Stephen Keshi used at d world cup. Y don't u sit down and think abt my points. Keshi used dis last world cup outing 4 business. How many strikers did spain use in Euro 2014? Football is all about a strong midfield and a good tactical approach. Sentiments apart, Keshi is poor tactically and makes biased selection.

phuckNL: Are you seriously trying to use FIFA ranking to determine the performance of a coach. Are you ok? Are you smoking Sep Blatter weed?

jhidey08: u don't even understand wot I'm talking abt. In dat Super Eagles' squad, apart 4rm d starting eleven dere was no influential substitute on d bench. How will a sane coach pick jst 4 midfielders 4 a world cup, don't u knw dat midfield is d heart of a team. Doze 4 midfielders were gabbage sef, apart 4rm manageable Mikel and fantastic Onazi, Azeez na wash, Reuben Gabriel played jst 49minutes 4 his club throughout last season, yet ur Hero(Keshi) took him 2 world cup. IK uche ws a force 2 reckon wit last season bt he picked uche nwofor who featured in jst 4 league games 4 his club last season. Do u knw anything abt football at all?

curiouslad: You assume a lot!
Buying your own TV was an analogy to illuminate my point which you have missed.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Television_Authority

We neeed to stop sulking and start holding building our own infrastructure.
We depend on the 'whites' for virtually everything!!
And when we don't get what we think we 'deserve' we then begin to sulk and start playing the victim.

You hold the Nigerian Government accountable for not being able to show British-Nigerians the heroics of Nigerians
You don't hold the British for not showing British-Nigerians the heroics of Nigerians

shadrach77: We need to free this guy and allow him leave. Shebi he was boasting that he had several countries lining up to employ him? Why then has he suddenly changed his mind and decided to choose Nigeria? It's obvious he was only using SA and other countries as a leverage to get NFF's attention. Now that he has realised that they don't give a toss about him, he is systematically advertising himself. He is not a good coach.

I laugh when people compare Keshi with Westerhof. Those who are doing so need to have their head examined. During Westerhof's reign Nigeria reached 4th on the FIFA Ranking table. A mere Christian Chukwu took Nigeria to 16th in the FIFA ranking. Now compare that to Nigeria's current 36th position. Westerhof's team won emphatically not this present team that labours to win matches

lordeasy: Did u take special note bro? British nigerians!...."british" comes befor d "nigerians" u knw? Besyds, as long as one makes a living there, u v gat to be taxed(british or not). Woeva dey choose to broadcast will PRIMARILY reflect THEIR VALUES & INTERESTS.....other events elsewhere is SECONDARY! My point basically is........we v gat NTA lyk dey v gat BBC! Dey v chosen to go global with deir programming( as evidenced in deir offices worldwide, eg BBC africa with reporters and offices in various countries in africa) yl NTA has chosen to give primary focus to d activities of happenings in d ruling party and d FG! Lyk I said, we should rather vent on NTA for nt providing us with free-to-air access to d CWG and nt on what BBC chooses to broadcast!

curiouslad: Yes i jumped the race card, but it was obvious what the op was getting at.

This is like going to watch a movie in someone's house and then complaining he didn't allow you see the cast before shutting off the TV.

Yes his actions are rude, But I say buy your own DAMN tv.

But no we would rather play the victim and come next international event we all tune to the same people who shit on us to watch.

We never learn. We always play the victim
Thats my point

jhidey08: which determination? Dey qualified simply because dey were in d weakest group in d World Cup. Keshi is a fu*'ing businessman. Sum1 wit such an awful performance @d world cup ws given a presidential welcome, sum1 dey shld av questioned. Went 2d world cup wit jst 4 midfielders, didn't av a substitute who could replace an injured player, d idiot man collected money 4rm doze players, especially doze new ones. Dat's y he pressurized dem 2 threaten NFF 2 boycott d match against France, knowing fully well dat if we were eliminated at dat stage, it would b difficult 4 him 2 get his money 4rm d players. Our stupid govt flew sum amount of money 2dem so dat dey could play, dey shld av allowed dem 2 boycott d match, I swear 2 God all of dem would av suffer 4 it in dier various clubs.

disloman: Sentiment apart,this guy ain't technically sound n his flaws were shown at d world cup.

QuiverBox: Read the Post again, I can't see where the OP mentioned "Black" .

I wonder why you are jumping the gun to mention race.

If they put their resourses to broadcast the commonwealth game,is BBC coverage area only UK, of course the answer is NO.

BBC is not a charity organisazation, they paid for the broadcast rights to make a return on their investment. And Companies all over the world have paid BBC to adverised their products/Services during the Games on BBC which includes Nigeria.

Its only Fair Broadcasting if BBC switch to their Studio after the Medal presentation and The National anthem of the Gold Medalist.

This is not about Race.

I am 100% Nigerian, but i love the National anthems of South Africa, Canada and Germany. I won’t be happy if BBC will switch to their Studio shortly before the anthem is sung for the Gold medalist that may be from the aforementioned countries, talk more of my Nigeria.

Advertisers don’t pay for Studio Chit Chat they pay for the Games which includes Medal Presentation.

Dhelake: The NFF will be so stupid to give him a contract, he plays victim after every tournament just to get better pay

Afam4eva: The video is really funny and has some truth in it. Apart from the commonwealth games being a competition that brings Britain's former colonies together, it is a place where small countries can console themselves. We can all agree that there is little or no competition in the commonwealth games. Nonetheless, i like watching the sprints irrespective of the competition.

It's even good that the US is not part of the commonwealth games. They would have swept 70% of the medals.

oyb: So you are confirming the rumour about her sister and chime? You realise that you are actually making it worse. By implication, at least two close members of her family are at the very least, gold diggers of the most bizarre kind. That on its own is giving credence to what you refer to as slander.

Add the dumping of the educated or what did you call it suitor . . .

I'm not sure what you're aiming to do, but you're not doing Clara any favors
