Mind you, this letter got some of your parents married. So mothers still have these letters in their kaya.

Garba Lawal Nigeria's NT has become a dumping ground for failed stars who did not cut it with other countries.

I think he is right. In as much as I do not fault anyone who chooses to play for another country, anyone who has represented any other country at youth level and because he didn't get a chance to play for their senior team wants to now join Nigeria so that he can play in the WC is nonsense.
Using 3-6 of such players will reset the entire structure that such players think as an option. That way they'll think better before repping. As much as we all want to say the NT is not as big as others, the players themselves need know that not all teams can just be hopped on as escape route to glory.

Laurent Blanc
Ralf Ragnick
Zinedine Zidane


Rhe first two are good coaches. If they can get Zidane as Replacement, then no doubt, its fine.

Rohr has however improved the records the SE has but the team is not functioning at fullll potential. This is something a coach like the legendary Zidane can unlock without any reservations or doubt, especially as Nigeria need to get to the Quarterfinals in Qatar.


The way his contract has ran also is just confusing. No modern coach will like such crappy attitude from the NFF one bit. They have normalized owing for months.


I'd say if he qualifies the team for Qatar (very sure), he should be allowed but an attacking analyst be employed. Else, if NFF can lay hands of the French Legend, they should.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by daveP(m): 3:43pm On Sep 09, 2021
So the SE is the only one of the 4 WA Football powerhouses that haven't gotten to a WC Quarterfinals?


This should be the Qatar target for me. We've however been the best CAF reps at the Elite Showdown with 21points accrued in total, after overtaking Cameroon(19) with that Iceland win at 2018. So far so good, no other team seems eager to overtake that tally anytime soon. But thats the more reason we should be targeting a better finish.


Played 21
Won 6
Draw 3
Lost 13
Goals scored 23
Conceeded 30
GD -7


Nigeria and Cameroon(top two) have the worst lost record with 12 each. While Cameroon have the worst defence, conceeding a whooping 43.

Senegal(ranked 5th) are the only team from CAF with a +GD of +1. The rest are negative and Senegal also have the best loss record of 2.


Nigeria are the best attacking side with 23goals(only team with 20+ goals), and Cameroon are the worst defence with 43goals.

Best defence remains Senegal after 8games. But Ghana has 5losses after 12 games. Algeria have 13games and 13goals(one goal/game) with 12pts in total.

Projection for Qatar

Nigeria go there with a -7
Senegal go with +1
Algeria with -6
Morocco with -8
Egypt with -7
Civ with -1


Which CAF rep would change their GD record for the better after 3games+?


Will Nigeria better their KO record?

Will another loss occur at the group stages to make it 13losses?

Will the defence, team as a whole, be resolute and prefer to draw than conceed and lose?

Will Senegal have a better GD?

Will Egypt, Morocco, Algeria Change their world Cup fortunes for the better?


Which of the top team's attack would make Africa proud after 3games?

Which of the top teams defence would have the best showing?


Qatar comes.


I hope fortunes change for the better.

Travel › Re: How Safe Is Traveling By Road At Night From Lagos To Abuja by daveP(m): 12:05pm On Sep 09, 2021
I advice that if you have time, especially for this Lagos to Abj and vice versa, that you split your journey into two halves. Night Journey is one hell you won't want to repeat for this route if you take it the first time. Mostly, its a 12hr trip, no matter how Vin Diesel/Jason Statham your driver is.

Stop at Akure. Relaz and kick off again early next day. You'd love the decision. Remember, its if you have Time to spare.

Thanks so much for this. Something tells me they want Maduka to get almost same number of caps Uzoho has before they conclude. I think we know what that smells of. But speculative for now.

I believe its going to get more competitive here. Especially if Uzoho is extra determined to do the needful and leave the backwaters. They definitely using it against him even if he has better stats playing for GWG.


Also TheSuperNerd, i saw your repost of their stats. Gracias. I believe its both self explanatory what two of you have done. I hope these guys are seeing it and ready to do what's right.


I actually included Akpeyi and Ezenwa to know how each faired and in comparism with other two goalies.



For a goalie, i can simply conclude that Trust is what makes them start between the sticks. But SE is doing the opposite. I hope Maduka proves he is that capable like Uzoho.

no need for stats, maduka's heroics n performance last season in Holland is a testament to how much he has improved and how better he will get in the future after just a season of top flight football

I bet you guys that in the next few seasons to come Maduka will be among top 3 African goalies in Europe
We'd still need it. The deduction will help the comparism in National colors. It definitely will.

Maduka definitely has proved himself in the Club level.

I know he will be up there soon. His current GWG numbers just don't cut it currently. But i know he'd be in the Qatar bound squad!

You are being unnecessarily sentimental.. Nobody has said they prefer Uzoho to Okoye because of their looks, the same way nobody is saying they prefer Omeruo and Awazeim partnership to Ekong and Balogun's because of their looks...
Okoye simply hasn't done enough to justify him being the number 1 ahead of Uzoho and even Akpeyi.. He doesn't inspire enough confidence in the team..
Dunno who will help with stats for our last 4 SE GKs with respect to the defenders in front of them as well.


Uzoho
Akpeyi
Ezenwa
Maduka

I think it might be quite helpful.

But i wont lie, the league Uzoho is in ehn, its ruining his chances. If he can go to Israel and do a few good seasons like Enyeama, it just might restore order. For now, the trust is on Maduka.


I personally would prefer Uzoho. He's impressed me so far.
