All you have to do is back your claims with facts like the guy above you. Resorting to insults is a sign of immaturity and lack of objectivity.

Please, grow up

I’ll sack Rohr if I were NFF boss – Odegbami

Sodiq Oyeleke

Former national team captain, Segun Odegbami, says he would have sacked Gernot Rohr after Nigeria’s 2-0 defeat to Madagascar at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations if he were the Nigeria Football Federation boss.

Odegbami, a guest on Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily, on Monday faulted Rohr’s attitude during Nigeria’s matches, saying the coach was “too relaxed” even when the Nigerian team were losing.

The ‘Mathematical’ Odegbami advised the NFF to consider a vocal coach in their next appointment.
“If I was in charge of Nigerian football, Gernot Rohr would have been on his way home,” Odegbami said during the interview.

“I’m sorry that is a bit harsh, but you could see how he selected players, particularly in that match against Madagascar. We could have been out of this competition now, because of his selection of players for that match.

“See coaches like Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho, they are the 12th players. They are by the side of the field, they are directing their players.


They are shouting on referees, they are doing things. That is the sort of thing Nigerian players need.

“Nigerian players don’t want somebody who will just sit quietly and not say a word. They won’t hear his voice. You won’t help them with difficulty.

“Our nature is to be loud, to be compelled and driven to the wall. Our nature is not to just relax.”

Throwback

I remember Olofinjana was the Mikel Agu of this team

What was more impressive was Kanu's pass and not really Utaka's goal. Do we have players that can pass like that now?

Udeze was also another carpenter. Back then Enyeama hadn't unleashed

Back then when I was still quite optimistic.

And so my Akpu-faced brothers get knocked out...again

Oya, Gustav and Afobear, perform the Seppuku

comodo:
Please is there a tribe in GH that produce dwarfs I used to think Mo Simon is brief, until I saw them in GH team

Not sure

But there is an abundance of tribes where the Akpu-faced gene shows high penetrance

Ghana don equalize oo

Good one.

That's the spirit

Goke7:
Be like say our west African brothers wan go house o

Them Charly boys don dey book their flight ticket back

Na wa ooo

So, Ghana dey loose 1-0

Afobear and Gustav, please do the Lord's work

jihday:
he's correct though, they out played us that day especially first half

That's true

Jarus:
It happens. Kanu as an Arsenal player played several CAN games without scoring.

Even Drogba did not score many goals in CAN.

Only few African players like Eto'o replicate club form in CAN.

And Messi scored 1 goal in 4 games in Russia.

Good point

But even the club form you are referencing, he has average stats for the said club

And please, he shouldn't be in the same sentence with the above mentioned players

Goke7:
some of these african teams, na gra gra be their game, bye bye mali make una borrow sense next time

I told some people here that Moussa Marega is an overrated Striker. I will pick even Ighalo ahead of him any day any time.

How can you be a striker playing for Porto and not find the net in 4 games. So tell me what this guy brings to the table now. Some of you were defending him.

Una see now

Goke7:
mhen i no fit go stadium go watch this kind match o

I'm telling you

He actually played to instructions against Cameroon

Not to pass?

komekn:
Watching Mali and CIV it's very evenly matched and Zaha has not been able to impose himself on the game.

The game is not a classic it's very very physical.

As expected

fabyom:
they outplayed us both in 1988 and 2000 AFCON final.

.

People can blame Ikpeba and Kanu all they like but Ike shorunmu was poor in that match. Those two goals could have been averted and let's not forget the fact that he couldn't catch a single penalty

maidaboi:
like this

TheSuperNerd:
Chaaaaiiii..... Elf of Darkness oooo....

Maybe the reason SE has been struggling is because you never had the blessing if the Darkelf.

Bit its just for the game against SA. Their members have been populating this cyberspace like the bubonic plague. Hopefully, a win for the SE should restore sanity to this thread and a permanent padlock on the mouth of every Zulu-ian

After the win, its back to pessimism

somehow:
But it seems he became worse unlike his days in Germany


Defenders are suppose to become better as they age

The fact that he isn't playing regularly is contributing to his regression

DrLikita12:
Etoo's facial expressions cracked me up throughout the game. At one point the man behind him even laughed.

That kind of man (behind eto'o) shouldn't be trusted.

When Cameroon took the lead, he celebrated, same thing with Nigeria.

That man na better turncoat

Sorry to derail o

DOn't worry, we will win by even a bigger margin

Mujtahida:
Abeg ooo continue to wear your pessimist crown ooo cos we've been winning inspite of it. No go dust your optimist cap now and we come go lose.

Hahahahaha. Nice one

Joebie:
if Rorh still can't beat SA wetin remain?
No excuses, we have to avenge our Uyo loss, else we should never boast wherever they are.

Exactly

Just for that Uyo loss, I'll be going with the SE 100%. I will be dusting off my optimist cap and putting it on

Especially to melt the mouth of a certain IronGalaxy on this thread

jihday:
Hmmmm

Them try but still need to work on their weaknesses. It showed in the last gme

Its not over yet

Football isn't math but I don't see Tunisia getting past Ghana tomorrow

Mali vs Ivory Coast is going to be a tight affair. May go to extra time

Joebie:
Who are we meeting in the semis ?

WE AIN'T PAST THE QUARTERS YET BRO

Afcon 2019: Nigeria can't match Bafana Bafana's pace and skill - Mohlala

The retired left-back has praised the current Bafana squad for their win over the Pharaohs and backed them to stun the Super Eagles too

Former South Africa defender Jethro Mohlala has warned the supporters not to put Bafana Bafana under pressure following their win over Egypt at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals.

Coach Stuart Baxter's men are through to the quarter-finals of the continental tournament and many have backed the team to go all the way and become champions for the second time.

“Look, I think many South Africans never gave the boys a chance based on how the results in the group stages came out. I believe that also helped the players to relax because they were underdogs going into that clash,” Mohlala told Goal.

Having said that, they knew their qualities and they just had to play their normal game and show their quality and they did everything well,” he added.
They are aware that the fans back home were not happy and they had to step up. They silenced everyone and that will restore their confidence. That is a massive victory for the team without a doubt. I never gave them a chance they proved us wrong, that was pure class and I just think they can beat whoever they face going forward.

Speaking about team selection as goalscorer Thembinkosi Lorch replaced Themba Zwane, Mohlala expressed disappointment where fans tend to individualise players based on their clubs.

“Yeah, they played very well, the change was good and it worked. Credit must go to the coach and his technical team. I am not happy though when we mention players based on their clubs, this is a national team,” he urged.

“We just need to support them as a national team. Lorch did very well for us and he clicked with Percy Tau and it was good that we scored at that time in the game. Lorch is a great player, I hope he learns day by day and we wish them all the best going forward."

Moreover, the former Mamelodi Sundowns player stated that facing Nigeria in a quarter-final clash on Wednesday is better than meeting a fellow Southern African side.

“I think that’s going to be a good game against Nigeria and the boys will need to focus. It’s better we are not facing another Southern African side,” continued the legend..
