Did u watch the game? Because he conceded 4 goals in one game doesn't make him bad. Were the goals goal keeping errors, that's the question to ask?

Who do you think will be the scapegoat for all those goals??

Is it not the African/Nigerian Goalie the italians would blame??

Napoleon55:
Is there anything religious stuff is preventing him from?
Do you think that religious stuff is preventing him from scoring regularly

There is life outside football.

agreed

ScholarProf11:
This shows how myopic you are! Did you watch the game? You want Udinese to sell him yet you are one of those crying day and night that we don't have players in top teams. People like this are surely Obidients! lol! They think upside down!

Carry your agbado logic away from here jo

APC bpt

lbrichman2:
I said exactly this on X last week
He may not be at fault for all the goals, but Udinese are not winning and when teams don't win, they look for a scapegoat.
He's an easy one

This is what my naija people don't understand

And Italians are racist too
Na the naija blackie them go run blame

Truidstarr:
Udineae defence has been shite this season, if na Nwabali dey that Udineae goal dem for don chop 7 goals by now. Not totally Okoye's fault.

Na so ooo

DrYa:
Na in dey post....

Some people say he dey better than Nwabali..
It is well

People wey dey fra

I am more c9nfident with Nwabali in the post than Okoye

He should go and focus on modelling and womanising and leave football for serious athletes

lbrichman2:
Omo..
Udinese chopping 4 goals in the first half
I just hope say no be okoye dey post abeg

😂😂😂😂😂😂

But hes way better than nwabalai

They'll bench his ass after this match for sure or sell him

Goke7:
Whether oliseh went far or not always remember e no pass one Afcon and a second round World Cup finish. Period

Then let this current eagles set do.it or forever hold your peace

Insofar as they haven't even made it to the WC group stage or even held that afcon trophy, I will rate the 2013 set over them too.

Una think say football na emotions. It's just pure facts abeg

Mind you, that 2013 team never let any game go to extra time during AFCON.

So accept the hard truth and swallow the damn frog abeg!!!

This thing no even hard sef

Im this current team, who will you pick over the 94 set to start except maybe Calvin bassey and that's even debatable. You could maybe add Aina but im not even so convinced on him right now

I would still take a Yekini over osimhen

So whats the unnecessary comparison about

Same team won atalanta 96

What tournament has your current eagles set won for christ sake??

I get it that some of.you here were born post 2000 but I watched this team in 94, 98WC and 2000 AFCON.

See how they played against Spain in 98 na. You think your current eagles would've defeated Spain in such fashion??

Your current eagles wey no fit best Congo to qualify for WC na him una dey hype

See how all of you are developing BP just because of an upcoming U-23 qualifiers against the same Congo

Abeg abeg abeg!!!!!

GMBOFASIA:
LOL after day light robbery even this team with their mentality if they go 2 goals down against even team like burundi or guinea will you bet they can stage a come back?

No mind the guy jare

Same team that struggled to beat Madagascar at home and were totally annihilated by Guinea bissau who doesn't even rank in top 100

And in both situations, they blamed the pitch. Do they look like players that have the mentality to win or accountability for their failures??

Oliseh may have gone a bit far in his assessment but them but the truth is these current set of Super Eagles don't really offer much in terms of mentality. They couldn't even make it to the wordl cup when it mattered and lost to Dr Congo (in a 10 African teams contigent oooo)

Yet they want us to compare them.to the 94 set. What a travesty!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goke7:
Why dem no win for regulation time? Have you forgotten our players were in bigger clubs compared to Cameroon in 2000?

You wan give them excuses for their failure ba?

Answer my question

You said it yourself that penalty is luck, not me. I'd didn't give any excuses for their failure, you're the one that opened your mouth to say they lost on luck

So it means you believe that not winning in 90mins means you're not good enough. So by your logic, 2023 set aren't good enough na

Abi no be your ewedu logic we dey follow again??

😂😂😂😂

Goke7:
won as how, was it not 2-2 after extra time?

Pks is just a game of lottery or chance but allowing the Cameroonians going ahead in the game was where we fumbled!

So it means that 2000 set lost out due to luck and this set lost out in 2023 due to not being good enough abi?

😂

Goke7:
Oh so e no easy after all 😂

Only worthy teams can win it

This set haven't proven themselves worthy

Goke7:
Just One Afcon don’t you ever forget to tell your children too! Thanks

If e easy, make this set run am now...

"Just one AFCON"

Like say AFCON trophy na community cup for Abia state

Goke7:
You don’t love them but you want an eagles player to go there 😂 issorite

Run your agenda okay?

Issorite

Goke7:
😂 After all said and done they have just one Afcon to show and a second round finish at the World Cup. E no pass that level so relax

And talking about heartbreaks it can’t be more than losing the Afcon trophy in the year 2000 on home soil by the same generation!

We will keep saying this so you and oliseh don’t mislead our young people and future generations. Selah

And a top 5 FIFA ranking which has never been achieved by any set since then

And not getting beat by Guinea bissau 3:0 and blaming the pitch

The 94 set were better bro

Goke7:
Where is this sudden love for Gala from? Abi my eye Dey pain me

I don't love them

I just feel they may be the best fit for Benjamin and the most realistic situation at this point

No top 5 league may want him as he hasn't played a game in the EPL and he needs a top team with regular competition and a team in which he is better than all their CBs currently

Thats why I said Galatasaray

Just saw this. Don't know how true it is

charlesemeka85:
God Mk it work

You be wicked person

Na now I know

If I were galatasaray, I would put in a loan offer with iption to buy for Benjamin Frederick

Dude is better than all their current defenders (both CBs and full backs)

He would add immense value to that team

lbrichman2:
Dude has unfollowed
I guess he changed his mind

Omo

E be like say the guy no like the rumours at all. Maybe even no want associate with naija

Goke7:
aaah ok o so we are still not convinced about Chelle

The reason NFF delayed in giving him a new contract is dure to bad intentions

Not as if we aren't convinced of him

They probably have their "domestic candidate' waiting. Som9ne who will bring Benjamin tanimu to school defense

opes:
Calvin Bassey to Manchester United will be too sweet..

So you want him to.move to a sinking ship so that their racist fans can quickly blame the only black CB when they loose woefully abi??

Una no dey think these things through at all

AndSunGorilla:
We don't have an NFF right now unfortunately.

Even if we did, they could've given him a new contract when they still existed and yet, they hesitated and are waiting for his downfall a9 that Eguaveon can enter there for the 100th term as interim coach

lbrichman2:
I mean it
We just need to keep Chelle and tighten our administrative angle..

You mentioned 2 insurmountable hurdles

1. Doesn't seem as if NFF wants to give chelle a new contract

2. APC has to leave office for us to get administration correct

lbrichman2:
We are grabbing the next 2 AFCONs

I admire your optimism

Been seeing multiple reports of this on twitter

If true, Would be a good one 🔥 🔥 🔥

Kog45:
Benjamin Frederick needs to move or else his case would be like that of Kenneth Omeruo...EPL teams love big and tall defenders, especially center backs.

Exactly!!!

I say it that nothing matter how good a player is, long months on the bench will.make him match rusty

The only reason we still back Benji is because he always delivers in the GWG but he is just one mistake away from.b3ing heavily criticized

He doesn't even need a permanent move but a loan move will be okay

If we fail to qualify for the AGCON, then it wouldn't do him any good

Kog45:
Maduka Okoye has been poor this season, conceded 17 goals with no clean sheet before yesterday match which I gave kudos to him for his yeoman performance.He was criticized heavily for some cheap goals even his coach told him to sit up and good against Parma he proved it that he is still Udinese number one,time to watch him in eagles as number one.

"I will take Maduka/Nwabali over Bounou"

🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

Goke7:
Is that not what I said that the players let us down 😂 what are you even saying

Im trying to say the same thing as you

If they let us down, it means they aren't good enough

Goke7:
💯 you nailed it. Nothing to add!

The 2023 Afcon was ours but for the terrible officiating and the host nation who did everything on and off the pitch to win. That same host nation could not get past the quarterfinals in the last edition despite having a better team than the previous edition. The 2025 edition we saw the dubious ref in that semifinal still it took penalties and Chuks misfiring to give Morocco the win. For the World Cup it was down to our players who let us down and some of us said it repeatedly here!

Same players couldn't qualify you for a tournament that had more reps from Africa bro

The players are the problem. Stop blaming refs abeg.

Senegal best that same morocco

Napoleon55:
A country that have majority of their players at top clubs will always stand a greater chance of winning competitions almost all the time,less we deceive ourselves,
except for rare occasions,Zambia in 2012 for instance,and Greece in 2004.
Don't always expect that kind of upset to happen.

A big footballing nation need to have their players at big clubs first,if not,expecting to crush those who have their players at Real Madrid,Barcelona,Man city,etc. is wild dream.
Spain or Brazil will not expect their players to win world cup if majority of their players are mid table and relegation bound clubs players.

Plus you still need few players to be top level performers to stand a chance, 3 or 4 players is enough

Our players need to work hard,win something with national team so that better clubs can sign them.

Oh boy you don talk am finish

A country aspiring for football silverware must have elite players at every position. It's a no-brainer

Check the history of every football tournaments. More than 90% of the time, the winners or runner ups had elite teams. I dont know why Nigeria s love to deceive themselves that it is well with our national team when its obviously not
