Oh wow... Happy Birthday Man.

Now I am sure you ask for no better present than for the Super Eagles to spell Sudan today but my good man, life is much more beyond football, so I pray upon thee an even bigger present than a Super Eagles win and that is a newer chapter of great successes and awesome triumphs in all you do and lay your hands on.

Have a beautiful birthday weekend.

Goosebumps! Thanks man, i appreciate.

It's my birthday fam . I only wish for SE to spell Sudan today.

Given the paucity of time, and the fact that some of us here have one or two things that could keep us busy and not have enough time for this thread, I suggest that we pick up the award process from where we left last year.

That means the award categories used last year should be maintained for this year, and the criteria too..

What do you guys think?

I support this too. Maybe with one or two modifications.

The nominations officially starts tomorrow. Let's make it a point of note to be present.

Thank you .

alright sir. Noted

Danielnino00:
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
Sequel to my post yesterday where I expressed my intention to take over the responsibility of organising the annual Nairaland Nigeria Football award as requested by Icon4s this year, I'm glad to announce that the award would go ahead as planned, and I'll be coordinating it with Drklever.

Four people from this thread will join the nomination committee alongside me and Drklever, with icon4s being a honorary member.

On this note, members of the thread are to nominate 3 monikers they wish to be part of the committee. Unlike how it was previously done where we would nominate only one moniker, I suggest we nominate 3 each so as to make it more flexible and have more people nominated.
Here's how the nomination selection will be sorted;
3 points would be awarded to the first name nominated, 2 points to the second and 1 point to the last.
Example: I nominate Danielnino00, Drklever and icon4s. in this case, Danielnino00 will have 3 nomination point, Drklever will have 2 and icon4s will have 1.
At the close of the nomination process, the 4 monikers with the most points will be added to the committee. Any moniker that's selected to the committee but doesn't wish to participate for any reason whatsoever will be replaced by the another one from below the top 4.
Nomination starts now and close on Monday, December 27th 2021.

Thank you.

Thanks amiable Danielnono00. I nominate semid4lyfe, andrewbaba44 and Safarigirl

Danielnino00:
Thank you comrade!

I think two is enough..

We can start the process of nominating committee members from here..
Or what do you think ?

Oh yeah that's fine by me. Can you pm. If there is a means to fix a few things behind before posting here? Or

Danielnino00:
The year is almost at an end and we haven't been able to start anything about the annual Nairaland Nigeria Football award started by Chief icon4s a few years ago. I'd hate to see us miss out on this year edition, seeing as the award as become sort of like a traditional part of this thread.
On this note, I hereby volunteer to coordinate the award this year as requested by icon4s.
However, I will be limited to coordinating it online only, meaning I won't be able to tak over the responsibility of having the award designed or delivered to the glass house.

Anybody that wish to join me in coordinating it should please indicate.
Thank you.

I would love to work with you on this.

My 2021 AFCON STARTING XI.
Cyriel Dessers plays as SS.

Uzoho, Osigwe as other goalkeepers. Balogun, Ajayi, Ekong as CBs on the bench. Aina, Ebuehi as sidebacks on the bench. Onyedika on the bench too. Aribo, Ejaria, Iwobi, Amoo on the bench. Chukwueze, Dennis, Awoniyi, Iheanacho and Sadiq on the bench.
Note: A total of 28 players cos AFCON 2021 requires 28 man squad.

you don't know ball

Ajoboss:
yea it wasnt intented ...but the end product was nice

We all hes been terrible so far ...but lets give credit wen its due

you made no sense bro. So if someone kicks ball towards throw in instead of scoring and accidentally another player deflects the ball to the goal, he should be given credit for blasting a goal bound ball away beforr deflection, or what exactly are you about sir?

Ajoboss:
Atlast simon delivers a nice one

Nice what? That ball to the goalkeeper wasn't intended. Isn't that obvious?

Osimhen will be tired soon. Ighalo is not pressing!

Can Iwobi be taking all our ser pieces please. What a delivery. Simon is an assss.

Subzero047:
Ighalo has been playing better than Iheanacho as a support striker tho

Insanity

lol Simon had an injury scare, guess who Rohr called up? Yes, Iheanacho. so he wanted to play 3 strikers when Chukwueze and Ejuke is there. If clueless was a person.

please just take Simon off like that. thank you!

Whoever instructed Simon Moses to be taking our spot kicks is madddd.

Abusule007:
Ighalo is back

I can bet the bech would beat the first 11 in a match.

JohnBullMySon:
The only issue I have with Rohr is his insistence on attacking from the wings when we play possesion games against small teams. It obvious we are not passing well enough in the box to score often. We can try sudden outside 18 ground or low shots from unlikely places. Pass, pass, pass then somebody just shoots. That shit works so well in Africa, I've watched a couple of CAF games and it leads to goals more often than you'd think. It may look amateurish but it still works.

Yes it works so well in Africa. Most Africa goalies are not good shot stoppers.

Icon79:
Haha!! I thought I was the only one. The team is piss poor. If I am the person in charge, I will fire Rohr and hand the team to Emmanuel Amuneke right away.

This team hasn’t improved one bit.


O pari

We're getting worse by each passing game. I doubt our world cup qualification chances now. Scary!

I slept off like 4 times while watching this match. Absolute eyesore

Link please

Tolulopefinest:
Same with the one I dropped from owngoalnigeria some 3 hours ago

Rohr is just Stupiiiid. Tueh!

Kog45:
injured.

wow thanks. What's the nature of the injury and how long is he ruled out?

Why is Osimhen not on match day squad. Injury?

forgiveness:
At 22 Ighalo was already a legend in Granada and was playing in Laliga.

What is Granada?

Curtisaxel10:
Ighalo was far better for the SE than Osimhen. Most of the goals Ighalo netted for us were from half or non-existent chances. Apart from that one half-chance Odion missed against Argentina, I defy anyone to show me any other serious blunder he made. Osimhen on the other hand......make I no talk sha before them call me hater. But he needs to sit up ASAP. SE is not a team where a striker will wait to be fed 6 good chances before scoring one.


PS: This is not a call for Ighalo to be called up. His time has passed. I'm just putting matters into perspective.

Yen yen yen. Ighalo at what age? Osimhen is a young player still learning his rope. At Osimhen's age, who knew Ighalo? There are only few complete strikers out there. Trust me when he starts putting in all his chances, he is gonna be scary but for now we can only demand more from him, that doesn't mean we should condemn him or compare him to a prime Ighalo when he just started his professional career and making waves in Europe. What does that guy mean by Osimhen is hyped. Is Osimhen a bad player?
