Please what has already been on board ?? Isn't what is on board that led us to this miserable state. Sometimes I wonder what the rationale or thought process is behind statements or line of thought like this. Still arguing for north and south in this era

Justice505:
Those who are coming for equity should come with clean hand, just because we have a southern president does not mean we will disregard what has already been on board, if same is done to the South I believe most of us will not like it.

Are you serious?

Justice505:
All things been equal, it's the time of the North. Amaju pinnick already did 8 years of the south is the time of the North to produce the president.

Do not let them lie to you. Black man taught the world civilization. -- Just curious do you actually believe this ?

forgiveness:
The bolded is a fallacy the colonial master made you believe.

Who governed Mali empire, Oyo Empire, Borno Empire, Ife empire, Ijebu kingdom and several Yoruba city states, NRI Kingdom, Aro Confederacy, Kingdom of Nembe, Kingdom of Bonny, Kingdom of Opobo, Kingdom of Calabar, Onitcha Kingdom etc before the British expenditures?

Do not let them lie to you. Black man taught the world civilization.

Now, ask yourself, why were all these different ethnic groups lumped together to form one country?

For easy manipulation and extortion. That's what you are seeing today.

It seems he has been making a lot of mistakes this season like red cards and own goals

is your argument that NFF should be spared cos Yahaya Bello was ?

EElopa:
Go back and read what you said. You said that he expected Tinubu to turn a blind eye on the NFF looting 12 billion naira and I just found that your statement really funny. Did Tinubu not turn a blind eye on Yahaya Bello stealing over 80 billion naira.

I'm not sure how you can put the blame on Alozie. she's a winger that was converted to a right full back , she's also not bipedal and you put her on the left . She was also tasked with providing attacking width . what do you think will happen , obviously she will struggle and leave a lot of space . Imagine putting oshimen on the wing and saying he didn't perform well, obviously he won't . Everyone could see the way he set up the team , players will struggle .

Madugu OUT.

Never really rated him tactically but I just hated the double-speak and hypocrisy from a lot of peeps who opposed him, hence my support for him.

I mean, if the Madugu critics credit the Mission X WAFCON triumph to the players' quality, grit and determination, then its only right that the players take a large chunk of the blame for the loss to SA and the failure to qualify for the world cup. After all, they're professionals but alas, no one is criticising the players.

Michelle Alozie was terrible this tournament. Easily, our worst player in this WAFCON by my assessment. Dem just dey delete her anyhow in the games we played. She committed fouls, picked up unnecessary cards, leaked her wing like tap and caused goals. There is no bone of technicality, natural flair or football skill in her. She be person wey dem enrol for academy from small, train to play ball and acquired some proficiency in it. Na because of foneh, face card and social media antics, many of una dey foh for am. Ball no dey her body. And no, its not a one-game/one tournament observation. I've felt this way about her since the 2021 Aisha Buhari cup and the 2022 WAFCON when SA knack us.

Chiamaka Nnadozie. Poor judgement, poor anticipation of ball flight, and opposing player run against Malawi to concede the gaols. Against Cameroon, she set up the 5-man defensive wall for the freekick not behind the ball to block the shot but to one side, then still positioned herself behind the wall giving the Cameroon player a free sight to shoot at goal. She still parry the shot enter her net. Lol. Who does that?

Ijamilusi......terrible player. Poor ball control. Always looking confused on the pitch. Never knows how to position herself or what to do with the ball.

Osinachi Ohale, in my opinion has been off it for the past 4 years. Bone don stiff and she no fit run again. Beating her now her is as easy as putting her on 100m race. She's also the biggest culprit for the long balls the team plays from the back cos she's not a ball-playing defender and is not press-resistant. Small press, and she don boot ball forward.

Ordega. ANCESTOR.

Madugu is a poor coach, I agree. He listens to social media chatter, is impressionable and is influenced by football critics/analysts, and that to me is an unforgiveable failing of a coach. A good coach is one who knows his players, their strengths and weaknesses, his strongest 11 and sticks by them even when they falter and I.M.O, our strongest eleven is the team that started the Cameroon game. Despite the loss, that was also the best game we played this WAFCON .

But because dem criticize am when hin lose, hin go start Ancestor Ordega wey ball don leave tey tey. NO balls. No mind of his own. E just be like say make Eric Chelle listen to public opinion and bench Osimhen in the Q/F Algeria game because of the burst-up he had with Lookman against Mauritania.

I still get plenty talk but make I SMS for here. Madugu should just resign or make NFF fire am. Losing to SA is unforgiveable.

One thing about local coaches is they are so bad they can't even figure out how to sell the local players they desperately want to market so they can get a share of the commission. You need to win first and then gradually introduce the players they want to sell. But they make it so obvious that it affects the morale of the team. Same thing Finidi did with Taminu who has found his level. Madugu already confirmed when he said he prefers to use local league players even when there are better foreign born players. I don't know if it's greed from the coaches themselves or their masters from the NFf who put them as puppet in these positions forcing them to always tow this road

TheSuperNerd:
Mister man, rest. Your assertion was rubbish and purely false. You cant lack the knowledge of our Youth teams' history and players' progress and want to establish an opinion that is obviously false.

Evidence beats epistles. Finito.

Your brilliant and outstanding contributions to this thread are what keeps it going. However, it’s amusing that you seem to struggle with distinguishing between opinion and fact. You appear to have difficulty with differing viewpoints, and when you disagree, you become overly brash and caustic for no apparent reason. Bro, live and let live. We can hold different opinions on an issue and still be respectful.

semid4lyfe:
Going to the world cup, Madugu should drop Francesca Ordega, Gloria Ogbonna, and Folashade Ijamilusi.

In - Ashleigh Plumptre, Maureen Umeugochukwu, Chioma Okafor and Nicole Payne.

This will fortify the team and make it well balanced

This won’t happen. Ijamilusi will be on the roster for the World Cup unless she’s able to move to a bigger team before then. World Cup is even a better stage for the coach to package her for a transfer

Judas1X:
Apparently he won the WAFCON so he can do whatever he wants 🤣

I think after this tournament a thorough technical assessment needs to be done. Some of the selections , personnel choice and tactics are head scratching and doesn’t show sound tactical acumen.

Not sure why this coach didn’t put in Rinsola instead of Ihuzeo who isn’t a winger or even fit. Why put a striker who just came back from a long injury on the wing when you have wingers on the bench

I wonder who cursed us to have terrible administrators and leaders in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. When FIFA’s sale of the World Cup proposal came to light , UEFA , Concacaf, and AFC came out swiftly to rightly reject it. CAF said they were still studying it , which is a coy way to say they bought the idea just because of the proposed $ 40m to member associations. Guess the only FIFA official to come out publicly to defend it is Amaju Pinnick. Even Infantino’s senior adviser took his stand against it and resigned. Now FIFA has correctly withdrawn the proposal, which was ridiculous in the first place. Amaju Yansh is now open to the public as a greedy, money-leaning individual without the ability to think rationally long term once it involves money. It’s sad.

I’m so happy US lost even with “Balogun” on the pitch. They probably could have played better without him.him playing was just extra motivation for Belgium and that led to them having their best game of the tournament.
I wonder how Fifa is going to handle this loophole going forward because trump essentially confirmed he made a deal for balogun because other countries must be allowed to make such deals as well

I’m trying to imagine super eagles in a game of this intensity and crowd noise. Can they withstand it ?

Mexico is about to pull another upset. They will use their intensity and crowd support to knock England out

9JAMac10:
If America’s best athletes played soccer, could they win the World Cup?

they won’t. That’s just their cope. Football isn’t just about the physicality if not African teams will be dominating. There’s the technical part ,the mental part , tactics as well. There’s no cheat code to it. That’s why no country dominates for a long time because there are several ways to get to the top unless in other sports like basketball or athletics where you just need the best talent.

solonnachi:
How did we miss Michael Olise? Please someone should explain to me. That boy is pure class

we didn’t. He was never really ours to begin with and didn’t see himself as one too

Hopefully Chelle calls Samuel isife who looks like he has a higher ceiling at RB compared to this two guys and Anthony Dennis for midfield as well

I'm not sure why Chelle doesn't want to take our akor and lookman. We have chukwueze and fisayo on the bench that can come in and give us fresh legs.I hope it's not when we concede he will not make this same changes like Jpes did last final

We need chukwueze for akor and fisayo for Onyedika. Will get us more bite

Osihmen is the one pushing people away from the fight. Can you imagine 😂 😂

Oya now bro . We agree to disagree. One love

Odunayaw:
I am focused on the only incident I didn't catch in the game.

Now, the vid Banky shared has nothing more than the mouthing of "it's a team game" to which I conditioned the exaggeration to IF that's the only video on it.

The problem here is your refusal to engage what I said instead of your strawman. And except you have videos for me to see what happened in this incident spare me the sanctimony.


If this is not condemnation enough for the walk out on the team, I'm happy to disappoint you.

But clearly that wasn't the only incident. That was just one out of a number of and people already mentioned that to you and you had even previously commented on those ones. And even the "the" incident you are talking about is his behaviour there acceptable. Who gives him the right to be shouting at his teammates in that manner and shoving the captain aside and saying nobody should fucking talk to him. Sticking to that incident alone,how do you justify that and say people are exaggerating. Whether "the" incident alone or the other stupid ones he did,none should be tolerated and everyone apart from you and the other moniker have rightly condemned him.

Odunayaw:
You're being obtuse and it's ridiculous.

I am clearly speaking of one incidence hence article "the" before incidence. If you're not quick enough to see the context to the video BankyGee posted then I offer you my pity.

But isn't it obvious that that's not all there is to it. There are 3 more unacceptable behaviors to it and people are rightly calling the whole event out. You now trying to water it down as if the noise is just about one thing is ridiculous. I'm sure you are smarter than how you are sounding right now. By no stretch of the imagination were those actions misunderstand or peoples reactions exaggerated and those words should never have been used by now if you were not trying to defend and downplay his horrible behavior because of bias and fake fan love.

Odunayaw:
You're being obtuse.

"IF THIS IS ALL THERE IS TO IT..."

It's literally staring you in the face. Don't bother getting on my mention if you are too thick.

You are trying to be clever by half. So which of his actions were misunderstood or exaggerated because we both know if it was Nwabali that did this rubbish he did people would have called for him to be sent home. None of his actions wee misunderstood neither are people reactions exaggerated,his actions were unacceptable and condemable and people have been rightly doing so.

Odunayaw:
The least you can do is to read patiently. I said I was looking for videos of the incidence. Does this not tell you of particularity? It really doesn't cost much to carefully read.

Here's my quote from barely 10 mins after the game.

So what are you on about?

Bro don't do this. You have been trying your best to defend an unacceptable behavior and frankly it's laughable. The videos only showed were he was shouting at lookman and shoving ndidi aside which is bad but that's even the smallest of his offences. After that he stopped making runs and asked to be substituted a very grave offence. Furthermore after the game he stormed to the dressing room and didn't join the team huddle or prayers after the match,he also didn't even acknowledge the fans. In addition there's a video of him also storming off to the team bus. So which of this other 3 Offences are exaggerated. Even if you excuse the shouting as passion,the other ones nko?. Even if our fanship let's be reasonable and remove bias

Odunayaw:
Read bro. Read

I'm scouring for more videos of the incidence BECAUSE IF this is all there is to it then it is exaggerated

I've noticed a pattern. When Nwabali starts his madness and ndidi tries to calm the situation,he gets shoved aside and I think that has happened more than once,now today osihmen too has done the same thing. Is it that they don't respect ndidi enough or are those two people just too hot headed. We need a firm captain that can take charge especially with the pitbulls we have

Please can you educate us what it was

lbrichman2:
You want to interpret that as pride?

The fan boys that are defending osihmen actions by insinuating people are dunking on him is laughable. This isn't an isolated incident,he has been doing it consistently for a long time now and several times during games. Against Gabon he had the whole pitch to run and score in the dying minute,he missed it,didn't anyone get in his face? They all encouraged him and moved on. If his teammates make mistakes he should talk to them with respect. We are still dealing with Nwabali horrible attitude we can't afford another one. Have two players with terrible attitudes at the same time is a recipe for disaster

His head is not correct. So many chances other players have created for him and he missed it,did anyone get in his face?.players can make mistakes and wrong decisions so what's the big deal. So because they didn't pass to you you decide to stop making runs and then ask to be substituted and now also storming off to the dressing room,is that acceptable behavior. He's not the only one that has emotions,he should manage it properly like any right thinking adult.

Subzero0477:
Yes I'm defending Osimhen because Lookman frustrated me too especially in the first half, Osimhen would run his ass off to create spaces and chances but when it comes to Lookmans turn he will try to turn every touch into a shot on goal, Osimhen later lashed out of pent up frustration in the second half but like I said he was justified to air out his grievances, I hope Lookman understands he's not totally innocent in this saga and fix up

I thought he didn't play the second half cos he was injured or something?

minfelix:
leave that one na🤣🤣….until Osimhen attitude cost us another serious match na that time dem go know…all of us just dey act as if we dont know his attitude made us not to qualify for the world cup…very nonsense attitude….
Fight with opponents Fight with team mate
score goal still dey fight linesman
Fight fight everytime!!
TUFIAKWA!!
OSIMHEN NOT COMING OUT FOR THE SECOND HALF MADE US LOSE THE WORLD CUP INERCONTINENTAL PLAYOFF TICKET…period!!

im sure he has gone inside the dressing room to fight and quarrel dirty that saw is puppeting to DRC in the remainder of that game

I'm trying to understand something here,the two monikers that are defending osihmen actions,do you guys think na una love am pass or what. We should be able to separate fanship from reality and condemnation of a behavior isn't hatred or beefing the person. Oshimen behavior is unacceptable. He should be made to apologize to the whole team and even the fans for walking out on them. Next time he does this he should be sent home from the camp. The team is greater than the individual parts. Na everytime he go dey shout for other players,as per na hin gather all of them now. Respect is important and all players must respect each other
