Who else saw this thread. Philosophy problem. I totally agree. The coaches themselves no wan leave the mental box of pre-2000s.

The secondary school needs revival. 11yrs olds should understand the modern style before academies start swooping. Africa's biggest football brand dey even struggle to pay for a top coach. How did we get here?

Osimhen-Nacho-Chuks would threaten that Portuguese defence way more than whatever Ghana presented, whether we are there or not. Ghana were obsessed with the defensive setup. They went attacking and realized lots of things. The Portuguese bench though....

andrewbaba44:
Inaki Williams is not that guy

Na the main one spain collect

Swap him with Osimhen and Ghana for beat Portugal aka he has zero contribution to anything threatening for the black stars, off or on the ball.

minfelix:
This 3-2 jus remind me also of our gallant 3-2 loss to Argentina in 2014...the 2-1 loss in 2018 was an ekuke loss, cos that game was our to either win or draw to qualify, but they lost like sissies

That game is truly similar. Musa and geng with back to back attack. This one was less of that game as it was pack the bus and gra gra. That 2014 team played more better than this Ghana team. Just a little more gragra and 3-3 it would have been.

Sportilitica:
Just wondering how a fellow African country will be playing in the world cup and I would hoping that they lose because they beat my country
Nah, I pray they win so their participation would be justified and more of their players will see better clubs.
Still can not imagine hoping Ghana would lose.
The rivalry ends the day they begin to fly the flag of Africa

Sadly, unfortunately, ironically, it has never been like this for the African continent. Participation isn't always justification. It's mostly the better team becoming foolish and lazy, sometimes, unlucky.

chuks404:
but I enjoy their organization unlike our overhyped players. Ghana is far more organized and deserve to be there. No hypes.

Organized??!!

Important Prayer: May Nigerians not feel good that they didn't go to qatar based on the abysmal performance of the African reps. Amin

COOL10:
Switzerland weren't phenomenal but they won and that's really all that matters in tournaments.

They change tactics for 2nd half and allowed Cameroon the possession. Those guys couldn't even use it. Rubbish! Swiss team fall hand sha. Suppose be 4-0 up by 80min.


No african team has scored so far.

Africa has a philosophy problem. Anywhere belle face.

komekn:
Even with hard facts, many will not believe it.

I've said this the approach of the NFF is open to several questions. And we know our NFF are corrupt and telling unrestrained lies is normal practice. Having this knowledge we will still believe the NFF over the parent .

I totally believe this.
Their manner of approach is more consistent that the form of any of the football teams in Nigeria, club or national. That nonsense defense of talents will soon fade with these clueless and comic lots. What's talent without a system and discipline? If they like, make dem discover 100 talented little Messis in Nigeria, if nff refuse to factory reset, they'll all become Stanley Okoros. The said Saka is already a superstar with lots of fan love across the world.


Asides Osimhen, we no get one player wey get such love across the world.

Approaching like drug cartels and Escobarians. Can't even conduct proper interview for international manager.


Gusau don dey fear me sef

Lob what!

Blueelf:
And why do you think that is?

Because these useless idiots know that whether they play well or not, they'll still be invited. Nobody is ensuring these idiots are accountable. Some idiots in the glass house have nutured some untouchables in the national team

I don't care who you fucking are, your exploits in Europe or what club you play for, once you don your National team colors, you ought to bring your A game, see every National team games as sacred and be prepared to die on the pitch if need be because your performances on that pitch shapes the opinion of other nations about your people as a whole

It's so annoying

We're seeing the peak of connection football in our system. It will crash or self destruct. We even have to pray for that to happen how we want it to be so we can have a sane system from the bottom of the pyramid.

Freeman2006:
no, we no longer need makeshift players in those positions anymore.

True. Don't forget who's in charge. Fast swap in aint happening.

andrewbaba44:

i never even start to focus on this world cup o. Hope your boiz in la Liga are ready?

AndSunGorilla:
Look at even the local teams, none of them are doing well in the African tournaments. There was a time at least a Nigerian club will make it to semi-finals of those tournaments or at least the finals, but see what's happening now.

Since that year that Heartland and Kano Pillars made it to the Semis of the Caf CL, its been a horrible representation till now. They still can't even formulate mode of operations off-pitch vs North African teams. And someone wants us to continue to act like they're okay for consideration?? Smh

Deltamani:
Demehin

Hmmm

Freeman2006:
From now on I want super falcons left back to be Rofiat Imuran and our right back to be Glory Edet.

Back up to dem Paynes and Alozie ONLy.

Ppogbae:
Seeing the level of play from the games today, we don't deserve to be there. We would've embarrassed ourselves on the world stage. NFF needs a tactical overhaul.

Like FG like NFF

[quote author=Amedino99 post=118596191][/quote]Ahmed Musa kon get 4 in 2 WC only??

If we arrange friendly with this Saudi team. sE go colet 4 like.
Simon go wan exchange Jersey with Aldawsari
Uzoho go dey laugh after 90mins

With each game and with each goal celebration, the thunder pressing up for dem nff guys and African pep is as huge as hulk and will hit all of them appropriately for contributing to us missing the mundial.

mostob:

You forgot to add that Iwobi and Nwakali will be the first names on the sheet. We go dey wallop African teams with tikitaka...

On serious note, if the NFF are serious about football reformation in Nigeria, Arsene Wenger will be the best candidate. His management skills will also come handy in other areas but the money eh...

Lol. Nff wey dey life support machine rn. 2 back to back foreign managers and we dey owe both so far.

Philosopher1979:
If this mediocrity goes on peseiro may be sacked by this time next year prior to the nation's cup.
He has to get up and running In th next 10 months or else the knives will be out for him. We can't take this nonsense to the nation's cup.
He had better improve the midfield and the team in general before he looses his job. 14 months from now is not far away. Time is going. It will soon be January 2014. I have no confidence in this coach or team. Time is going

Like Temporary handler. Same as Waldrum

mostob:
How about hiring Arsene Wenger on part time deal?

You'll just notice that 17/25 of the current squad are dumped after 3 training sessions. And baba sabi talk, if any cabal wan do nonsense, he go loud am as e dey.

On field, things will improve.

Joebie:
Let’s wait until Herve is done with Saudi Arabia, and make a move. He is proven. Give him all our support and a free hand. I can guarantee we won’t have to wait long to see results.

the money aspect fit hinder things. He can't leave one where he's seeing 6/7 figures and come to where he'll be owed like a beggar. Nff sef.

Hopefully.

mostob:
Ah...e better make we do this one separately.
Revelation of the year(female)

Philosopher1979:
A coach with the personality of Maurinho will be good.
Disciplinarian
Good knowledge of football tactics
Winning mentality.
Coaches like Maurinho will win you trophies

Herve Renard fits. If wishes were horses, Mikel Arteta or his blueprint at least

Watching 2014 goals highlights.




When are we going to have a World Cup as good as Columbia's since the turn of the century?

Also noticed the high number of goals inside the box than outside during the group stages. We need that kinda prowess across all our football levels.
Clean goals. See crosses?

Icon4s:
That's the point.
The awards are not just for the Super Eagles alone. There are also other categories that have to do with Youths and Women football players.

After all Clubs still go ahead and vote for their player of the year irrespective of whether they win any trophy or not.

Revelation of the year-Onyene Zidane. O pari

do4luv14:
He is just starting, just dey watch

Imagine having such a sync across anything leadership in any terrain in Nigeria, and then wishing so bad for the former leader over the current.

zuchyblink:
NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau has suggested that foreign-born players do not possess the mentality to play African football.

This nonsense talk don start again.


What is so special about African football that it is a standard? This archaic talk should stop coming out of our leaders' mouth. African don smell semis before? We don win World cup before?When last any African team beat top 10 team in World football in a competitive setting? Mtchew

Hiding behind this crap excuse so we don't see that system and leadership is the crux.

Mujtahida:
I guess they have fried our brains. National Football is not so much a thing with most football fans in Nigeria. Their appetite for juicy football is sated by the fancy football they watch every weekend across Europe's elite leagues.

I don't blame the fans. They've kept up with balderdash and terrible off and on moments that can't even be defined on a spectrum. The suffering and smiling traumatic identity is in our sports. I won't blame them for fixation on club football during the weekend.

The same guys play good ball at their clubs and turn up even much more fiery and determined in their National colors....except SE.

They'll perform over the weekend and come and "flop"


The above can only be blamed on players 3/10 of the time. The remaining 7/10 is a stinking rot with our football philosophy, identity and hierachy across all levels.

From 2002 WC till that 2013 Afcon win, cadet football and the SF has been the delight of Nigerian fans than the Senior team.


Excuses abound but they are absolutely minute compared to this molehill of stench called NFF and the administration of football.


If club football can keep these fans glad per time, so be it. Those Playing the club dey rep country well cos System dey.


Anyhowness has a Cost. Someone should just write an expose of how it's been since 2002 in that glass house.

As Issa Hayatou bagged his 1.5m bribe and their Amos Adamu and co, a part of me want to believe Cameroon may see KO stages, even if that is highly possible. I want to give Hayatou the benefit of doubt that his beloved red and greens under Eto'o were part of his bribery deal with dem Qatar.
