Fighting an over 60 years old Mike is cowardice, even if you win. But Mike will just kill Jake if this shit is not scripted.

Talk is over. Mike is back.

Those same guys who beat Brazil in 1996 lost to Togo in the last game before that Atlanta 96 tourney. Nigeria also used to struggle to qualify for World cup and African nations cup then, infact they missed 2006 world cup to Angola, they almost where looking like they could missed 2002 world cup to George weah Liberia until the final qualifier game. The 2002 team was disbanded as they lost to Senegal that played with 10 men for most part of the game in the African nation cup Semis. The records and stats will show that what you feel and reality are not necessarily the same. Most African football teams have also stepped up their quality than it used to be some 20-30 years ago when compared with the Nigerian team. The disparity of experience foreign based players amongst Nigerian team and many other African teams is narrowed.

This current set of SE Players came second at the last african nations cup and have not really been at any other major tourney apart from that. It is the reason i am pained we won't be at 2026 world cup just like we missed 2022 world cup. The current SE players are just a bunch of average and few exceptional players which was not necessarily different from what we had in those years. I bet we probably have it better now in terms of quality individual players , what i believe is worse now is the quality of playing as a team, the SE are quite below average as a team, it shows in most of their games, they are not team centric and the understanding amongst themselves is weak. The turnover in the SE team is higher than necessary is a big reason. In today's match, i see no reason why a first timer in the team like Osho should be starting a game, that is pure folly from the coaching crew. I see you are flowery with the quality of the old team, that is what Nostalgia does. It elevates the value of a thing beyond the true market value.

chinchum:
Not necessarily true, that is the reason why i said nostalgia is deceptive.

We create an idolised version of legends in the very old players and begin to downplay their failings. If someone is presented with stats. like Kanu Nwankwo was in like 5 African nations cup and 2 worldcups, but did not have a single goal they will almost argue because it deviates from the image they have of him on their head.

chinchum:
Nostalgia is deceptive. Papillo did not score a single goal in all the nations cup games he played. I doubt he had up to 10 super eagles goals.

I always believe the Nigerias super eagles team of the early 2000s was overrated. The mid to late 90's were one of the best. The current crop of the SE players are not playing as a team yet, but they are individually better than all the past players barring maybe 3 or 4 players.

So that's all the words in igbo vocabulary?

U did not add igbokwenu!

Why woukd anyone like Lugard? This was a British Army officer who led an Army to West Africa, rained down bombs and bullets on.the Indigenous People, killed many of them, confiscated their lands, enslaved them, merged them together to create a British colony, and then his wife called that Colony "Nigeria". Lugard then exploited the people of their resources and retired to Britain a very rich man

Remind us, what is there to like about Lugard?

Since you say you're Benin, I'll advise you to investigate very well before you write against Ndigbo. If you persist in your unwarranted attacks against us, I'll be forced to attack your people back. Be properly guided 'oyel kpofkpof' or not is of no concern to me.

Yujin:
You got it all wrong. His problem isn't lack of history lessons but the typical average Yoruba hatred for ndigbo which makes them concoct all sorts of lies to buttress their hate.
