TheGoodJoe:

I am not pained.

Conceicao it is. Let us go.

TheGoodJoe:
The NFF never wanted Amunike. They know Amunike's capacity and know he will domwell if given the opportunity. They don't want it. They are more interested in the business that comes with a foreign coach.

caprikon:
I hope these "technocrats" at NFF understand that not every assistant coach morphs into a sound head coach. Any local coach hoping to coach the eagles should cut his teeth first as a head coach.

Frankly, sentiments aside, Amuneke was a better pick cos of his experience as a head coach. Sad seeing Finidi learn on the job to the detriment of the int'l careers of these players.

Joebie:
It’s pathetic when majority think by just employing a white TA, we will qualify. Na colonial mentality be that. Most times you will get what you pay for.

This link no gree open.

NFF might fire Finidi George based on the performance clause in his contract after meeting the Minister of Sports. pic.twitter.com/ivW2oOdmw0

Dude 😎 are you being serious.

In Naija egunje is intrinsically linked to everything we do particularly more so with public funds.

Every area of endeavour in Nigeria has been affected by egunje even church is not free 🆓

And you think THE NFF will be an exception.

Rockyrascal:
I am hoping the coach invites Tosin Adarabioyo for our next international game. After all he his still eligible to play for Nigeria.

Truidstarr:
Na oyibo dem wan give am to. My problem is if Finidi will agree to be number 2 again. The proposed techical adviser will want to bring his own team.

Truidstarr:
Rumours are they want to appoint a technical adviser to boss Finidi.

Mujtahida:
Is like you did not read with comprehension. I prefer none above the other. I'm fine with Finidi, I'm fine with Amunike. To me they are the same. Upon Finidi's appointment, I supported him against those of you who felt Amunike was a better choice. If Amunike had been appointed, I'd have supported him against anyone who would have argued that Finidi was a better choice.

My philosophy is just do it. I no dey for theory.

Amedino99:
the dates for the first round of games will be in the September international break but for now the draws are not out yet.

TheGoodJoe:
Give reasons why you preferred Finidi George over Amunike.

Nomyth:
Well, the upcoming Afcon qualifiers might be what we need to get our world cup qualifiers up the scratch.

Let's forget about the world cup qualifiers for now and focus on the coming afcon qualifiers.

Winning our Afcon qualifiers will serve as a much needed shot in the arm for the team as it will boost their confidence and give them the belief that they can win again, something I feel is lacking at present.

Also, the Afcon qualifiers can be used to tweak the team to see what formulas and players work before the next WCQ in March next year.

mostob:


On serious note, those players didn't play as if they want to go to world cup sha.

Do you know what the phrase "miles ahead" means 😲

Then your dig yourself into a even deeper ditch with notion it's "been proven"

This being the case taking hold of your two notions mentioned above verbatim. Can you share , what unit of measurement you used to substantiate this notion please ❓

Okoye plays in Seria A for Udinese , using your description I could say is ," miles ahead" of the South African 🇿🇦 league, anybody disagree ❓

That's not still conclusive, who is better. The depth of difficulty in maintaining a clean sheet in Seria A is not the same in the South Africa league.

It's quite apparent that it's much more difficult in Seria A than SA league. Nwabili had 11 clean sheets and Okoye had 5. Who is better still not very conclusive.

Let's look at the public gallery or market place , clubs do a lot of analytics before buying a player sometimes over several years. Club transfer interest is an indicator of quality.

Who wants Nwabili several clubs in SA as well as in the Eredivisie and Championship specifically QPR and of course there is Saudi.

Okoye wanted by Roma and Inter Milan.

I think you show your lack of knowledge and youthful exuberance more sentiment than objectivity. Below Okoye YouTube clip's again not conclusive just indicative.

Also below clips of Nwabili


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NdngI9KNuE?si=FVa6yYuRke48qWat

No sentiment, I am going to look difficulty of execution of league and my view would be that Okoye for now has the edge, it's not a huge margin.

On the other hand I believe Nwabili in a better league, better training facilities and coaches will improve and could find himself in the EPL in the near future.

Either way win win for Nigeria two quality goal keeper is a plus for the SE.

ChrisKels:
Turned out the NFF never really meant to hire Finidi but was rather done to spite the more qualified local coach Amunike hence, Finidi got the job without even sitting for any interview.


Omo if you have seen the level of cluelessness when this Finidi analyzes football before the camera ehn. Shame go catch you. Dem just set this man up to rubbish him before Nigerians. Finidi isn't even qualified to lead our U17 squad.

His major policies in 2024:

- Captain arms band must be worn by the most senior player because I worn it when I was the most senior player. That is the criteria and it doesn't matter if you have the qualities or not.

- Formation doesn't matter in football. Your players just have to know when to attack and when to defend, and that is all.

- There is no formula for winning, your players just have to know if it is time to attack or time to defend.

See a coache's mentality in 2024. God! Who do us this thing?

Goke7:
Sack or leave Finidi we have lost our way! Can’t see this team winning all the remaining matches they may not lose but to win all without draw soup na tall order

joelsteron:
If NFF means business they will sack FINIDI.

lovewins:
What you fail to realise is that our qualification is no longer in our hands. Even if we hypothetically win all of our games, any of those teams with 7 points can still afford to lose one game to us and win the rest and still qualify. So we do not just need to win we need 3 teams to lose to us and draw or lose at least 1 more game.

minfelix:
omo its so sad, i still dey laugh…all this Zim,Ben,Les, Rwa suppose dey collect for our hand na…what is going on naaa
Cape verde
liberia
CTA
all collected wotowoto home and away in the last WCQ qualifiers na except the slip up we had against CTA…wats happening naaaa🤦🏼🤦🏼

TheSuperNerd:
Tell him. Don't mind Charles. He even preferred Finidi take the job rather than a better qualified and more technically sound Amunike.

Now see where such "banter" has gotten him..... now to the point of him eating his own words and calling for Finidi's sack. And it has not even been 3 months. I shake my head.

mrwilliams9:
What do you mean an automatic berth is out of our hands? If we win our remaining 6 games there’s a chance to top the group.

We should focus on that alone. Playoffs is a long thing. First you have to win two legs to be the CAF representative. Then you have an inter confederation playoff as well before qualifying for the WC.

Let’s focus on what we have infront of us.

Goke7:
This your optimism is on another level when I grow up may I be like you but for now na learner I be for your side

Ppogbae:
It's over. SA is locking in and Benin will get a W down the line against Lesotho, Zim or Rwanda.

All Finidi had to do was clinch a W against Benin to keep us alive and he botched it.

Joebie:
South Africa will lead Nigeria 5 points at the end of this round. We are in trouble
