HAKIMI wins the AFRICAN PLAYER OF THE YEAR.

Who took d second position?

caprikon:
The funny thing with Naija is that I can almost bet that the team will still need calculators come 2029. Our attention span is limited. The NFF board/NSC will carry on like nothing happened.

This should go down as one of the biggest failures in our sporting history. An expanded world cup with possibly 10 participants from Africa doesn't have a Nigeria!!!!

This is true 100 percent, knowing fully well aw we reacted when we lost d ticket to Ghana 🇬🇭…

ChrisKels:
Yes, we lost because of Osimhen's injury which shows that our team is useless without our main man unlike Congo's because for fvcks sake, Congo didn't even parade their number one striker Yoanne Wissa in this playoff due to injury, yet they battered us like we stole something in the street.


The loss no dey pain me because we obviously stood no chance.

As in …d second half shld be replayed to those players …Dey were so heavy,lethargic,slow to even try second balls and I was like ,ah an…wetin Dey go on.abi na Brazil 🇧🇷 we Dey play with

We couldn’t play any shot ,off or on target …I mean none,we lost every second ball,it was dt bad …I am starting to believe chelle ,Abi dis ppu use juju truly cos even this team wout osimhen during unity cup and Russia games was not dis bad …from d blast of whistle going into second half has been a hell of torture to my eyes 👀. It was as if d entire team forgot aw to play football.we were piss poor

Goke7:
You’ve said it all. The players have themselves to blame perhaps they themselves are not confident about their future and just want to remain average or where they are currently. That drive for personal satisfaction and fulfilment is lacking. Never saw an eagles generation as flat as this.

Blaming the NFF for every failure is like expecting the government to suddenly provide uninterrupted power supply , we all know it won’t happen. The NFF has shown time and again that it won’t change, so the responsibility now lies with the players to rise above the system and excel but unfortunately they failed woefully.The state of the NFF is simply a reflection of the country’s governance.”

We can choose to hold the NFF responsible for our failure to qualify for the World Cup, and in many ways they do deserve criticism. Their long-standing issues are well known, and nothing seems to change. However, I believe a significant part of the blame must also fall on the players.
About 70% of this current squad experienced the painful way we missed the ticket to Ghana, yet that disappointment still didn’t motivate them to perform better in this qualification series. They were placed in a group with mostly lower-ranked teams in Africa, aside from South Africa, yet the performances were still below expectations. I honestly don’t feel sorry for them. It shows a lack of seriousness and a failure to push themselves to grow as professionals. Maybe they feel the World Cup isn’t essential for their careers, but if thats the mindset ,den is disappointing.
Many of us came from humble backgrounds, yet we keep striving to excel in our careers despite challenges. So why should professional players, who know the NFF’s shortcomings, wait for miracles? They should have risen above the circumstances and fought for their careers on the pitch.
It’s unfortunate, but our next chance is in 2030. The preparation must start now.

Dem say make iwobi leave football go do bbl - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shld I drop my resignation letter and quit after 8 solid years on dis thread 😄😄😄😄, make I consult my lawyer

For d very first time , I will blame chelle for not subbing out ndidi atleast towards d end of second half ,he was just an observer in d middle today , Deres no way an old ndidi will b fit to play 240minutes within d space of 4days


Moses Simon shld be eased out of the team

Unlimited22:

QueenJazz:

kennysville:
Abeg anyone know where I can re watch the Nigeria vs Gabon Match? Na so so PES simulation and Watch along full Youtube

Lol ….ever since I av been supporting eagles ,I av never rewatched eagles match b4 but u can try fifa plus

lbrichman2:
My sister..
Now this team has shown they can score goals.. and moreso without Osimhen..
Once we fix our midfield and maybe goal keeper, omo.. e go hard to beat us

Don’t make dt mistake…dis is still an osimhen team ,d only difference is chelles style of play will always create chances in a match …it’s left to u to score

Tolulopefinest:
That moment when Osimhen missed that last minute chance .

This coach looks like a lion 🦁 🤣🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
Zaidu Sanusi.... another solid performance from the LB. Loads of defensive contributions from Zaidu. He stood his ground & made his wing impassable for Gabon's tricky wingers. Also contributed going forward by providing an extra passing option in the middle when we recycled possession and looked to break forward in vertical fashion.
Was involved in the lovely passing sequence that led to Ndidi's assist for Ejuke.

He would be key vs DRC

Make Bruno go buy better seat 💺 belt for Alaba market …cos e fit no smell 👃 first eleven again

charlesemeka85:
even if the team qualifies for the World Cup instead of Tosin to smell that world with the team mk we carry cb from npfl

Seconded

TheGoodJoe:
Osimhen needs to study Zlatan Ibrahimovic a lot to understand elite level finishing. In tougher games, it will be criminal to miss such chances. The key lies in making early decisions.

So osimhen still needs to soak up knowledge…wow 😄

This Cameroon 🇨🇲 vs drc game is a physical one

chrisooblog:
As I said that day no be by cho cho cho.

E b like say we go miss training till Sunday abeg …no training ,win big margin ,who is with me 😎😎

Mujtahida:
Bro, I must confess. I ran away not just during the VAR check but after Gabon equalized. I just couldn't bear it. It was too much for me. Make I no come kpai

C you …..and u wan stay touch line with me if we get the job 😏

If to say Gabon 🇬🇦 know ,dem for no equalize 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I take back my words …osimhen is the greatest striker

Osimhen …hold him responsible if we don’t qualify for the finals

BankyGee:
Very good omen bro

Aw sportybet turn good omen ..all dis bettors sha 🤣🤣, no b so Switzerland 🇨🇭 shock Spain for 2010 world cup

Tchinaidi:
The rig leaders of this protest that have almost jeopardized our chances of going to the world if not for timely intervention of the Noble NFF must be punished to serve as a deterrent to other players trying to show seeds of discord in the team.Where is the place of Patriotism in this quest to secure the ticket for the world at this particular point in time.They should have not brought it up at all especially given the slippery slope on which we set on our journey to qualify for this prestigious tournament 😠😠😠😠

Who b dis one 😏😏😏😏😏

Truidstarr:

8:15am:

There’s no official statement from the NFF.

The official media group of the Super Eagles has been calm, no information since yesterday.

Before bed time yesterday, the players have vowed they won’t play until the NFF cleared all backlog of debts.

The National Sports Commission (NSC) Executives have been in contact with the leaders of the Super Eagles.

The NSC told me that they have released further funds for the NFF yesterday night.

The NSC also told me that they have released monies due for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers to the NFF.

NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau is expected to meet with the players this morning.

I’m hopeful there will solution and compromise from both sides when they meet this morning.

OGANLAMEDIA

The question is y is govt releasing funds to thieves dt won’t account nothing when funds are embezzled ,y can’t Dey give d money straight to the players



And for those saying this is not d right time to protest …let me ask when is the right time?

We all knw d crooks in nff won’t pay a dime irrespective of the outcome of these tournament.E don go be dat .then d debt keeps piling up


Y not ask ursef aw Come Dey are owing up to 5years allowance if Dey keep to deir promise.NFF CANT BE TRUSTED ..Simple

If I were to be part of the players protesting,we will just exit the camp 🏕️ by 13:00pm if nothing changes and nothing will happen


Worst case scenario nff will use their 2001 antics again..disband some players ,sack d coaches and bring in another new players entirely to play afcon

In all of this fiasco , Honestly, I feel bad for Eric Chelle if we fail to qualify .This man accepted the Nigeria job when things were at their worst — not because of money, but because he saw potential and wanted to make a name for himself. Now, after all his hard work, the NFF’s lack of communication and integrity is about to ruin everything. It’s sad to watch dedication meet disorganization.

NFF 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄!

mekabuachi:
See okoye wey una say make e start ahead of nwabali 😂

I believe he’s also withdrawing from d challenge;looking at d way he respond to national team duties
