Na this guy KARLOVYCH, Omo the guy wan kpai himself for in defense of DRC that period oo🤣🤣

The guy fit jejely dey avoid the thread like this. People like that will never own up to their gaffes. 😂

potland:
a team outplayed us from start to finish yet you have the temerity to blame them for not fielding foreign born players legitimately. Instead of blaming your lethargic players. Why are people like this

Did DR Congo outplay us to stupor? Yes

Did DR Congo field ineligible players? Yes

Did DR Congo deserve to be penalized for fielding ineligible players? Yes

All of the above can be true at the same time. It's not rocket science, but Nigerians are specialists at finding ways to make simple facts difficult to understand.

Like someone here said, same clowns like you would cry blue murder if it was Nigeria that fielded ineligible players, saying we're always corrupt.

Like I said, you're your own worst enemy.

Goke7:
If the roles were reversed I bet we won’t go to the World Cup in fact the entire continent including self righteousness Nigerians will be shouting justice for dr Congo that’s how deluded some of us are!

Bro it pisses me off like mad. Nigerians are their own worst enemy.

Blueelf:
I'm hearing Femi Azeez isn't cap-tied yet

Unfortunately true, according to my research. It's on us to make sure we don't let him slip out of our fingers.

There was one clown on this thread who kept harping on for pages unending that we didn't have a case against DR Congo. Who can tag him abeg?

Kudos to the defense. Should be 1-4 by now.

We don't have a midfield. It doesn't exist. I hope now we'll stop hyper fixating on attack and defense.

minsfelix2:
Chelle wan use him hand bring Nigerian curses and hatred upon himself....you can't have hungry boys wipe Jamaica, Zimbabwe,beat Iran....and when serious game come you will now be playing Tolu and Awoniyi and some other lazy players...
I know it's too early...but these guys playing will not lose 3-0 to GNB,...Highest we play draw or make dem win us 1-0...Super chicken!

A win is too much. That Guinea Bissau game worst case scenario I was expecting a 0-0 draw.

Wow. Didn't know there was an NPFL thread. That's cool.

elyte89:
From close quarters,Dey had to beg most of the players to play on dt pitch ;now imagine d performance. Furthermore some players even refused outrightly… you can’t expect top commitment from professionals on injury-prone pitch


Play d same match on a good flowing pitch and we won’t even draw dt match ..Guinea Bissau will collect

The question is this: how come other teams like Senegal and Morocco can go to these terrible terrains and still grind out results while we just sit here and give excuses?

Clement1111:
2 Disqualification
1 Voluntary
1 police case

Lemme see the person that will argue and say NLG is better than this season first

NLG was by far the worst BBN season though. At least to my memory.

Mujtahida:
Then that would be great because we need aggressive players.

As in

Aggressive, stubborn, coconut head, "we die here" players.

Yet someone wants me to accept our players playing in Turkish second division

You people on this thread aren't truthful, especially those of ypu that "claim" to have contacts of scouts and players

Akor Afams to Venezia was a bad move from the start and someone was saying that venezia is rebuilding"

The only players currently in the SE playing for prestigious club is Lookman

Are we saying Osimhen can't play for barca or bayern, or akor Adams can't play for valenc8a or even athletic club bilbao

Or Bassey can't play for AC Milan at least??

Common, which kind of agents do these guys have for Gods sake?

After an AAFCON like that, better agents would've sold Akor and Bassey at least to better clubs but zilch happened

Those of una wey dey claim "I get connection with this player, I get that player number", don't you talk to them??

Abi na only to flex your connect on this thread una sabi?

I see worse players play in better clubs

It's gotten to the point where someone wants me to accept KC Nacho in thw team??

Tufiakwa..make person from second league Turkish enter our team...

Are we Rwanda or Benin Republic??

These players are

1) Either not very ambitious
2) Have really bad agents and have refused to change such agents

Osimhen is looking like he'll waste his pr8mw years in Turkey and at the end of the day, it'll be a "what if, what if" situation. God forbid for him sha. He's too good for that league

Bro.

Well, there some things about Nigerian football wey person go see just lock up, because if you talk am, they will say you're being negative.

On a lighter note, even though I don't think the Venezia move is entirely Akor's fault, the way Olu Oke went off on him here made me to burst out laughing. 😂

Did they change the site fonts again or is it just getting uglier in my eyes?

.

If Iheanacho like, let him score 9,000,000,000,000 goals in Turkey. I'm not moved. I've seen enough of him in the GWG, even when he played in his prime for bigger clubs.

lovewins:
Ibrahim Gasau has reportedly announced officially his resignation.

A step in the right direction, but this is just the beginning. A lot more needs to be done to course correct.

Finally some damn good news. Let's hope they take the right steps for here on out though.

Anybody still supporting Justin Madugu or making excuses for him is an enemy of Nigeria at this point.

Losing to South Africa of all teams and in such a listless manner is COMPLETELY unacceptable.

F Madugu
F you wicked and senseless Madugu fans
F NFF
F Gusau
F everything
I'm taking a break from Nigerian football. Can't be wishing well for people who clearly don't wish well for themselves.

lovewins:
How can you say that?

Did Waldrum win the WAFCON.

Hyping a glorified NUGA coach.

Leave our Madugu alone o.

🤣🤣🤣

daveP:
Even if we make it tonight, no vote of confidence for this to be our reality any further. This is u17 girls level of intensity. Chaii

Exactly.

I think people here just need to accept that no matter how terrible Randy Waldrum was, Justin Madugu is simply much worse now and is reaching new lows with this team with every game.

daveP:
"he won us wafcon" see how e dey set up team.

Yet you want result anyhow anyway.

Guy I just weak.

solonnachi:
God have mercy on Madugu....
Ordega for Ucheibe?

To think that this is how Madugu wants to set us up, against our biggest opps.

If Xenophobia FC get the better of us this night, I'll never be able to live that down.

Ordega is starting. LMFAO. Let me just keep quiet for now.

Mecka:
On a norm, we are not supposed to meet SA, based on the seedings, our opponents was supposed to be ghana but caf did their wuruwuru and pit us against them. Wicked organisation

Is it CAF that told you not to top your group? You were in a group with Malawi and Egypt for Chrissakes. Even Zambia that's supposed to be the biggest threat isn't up to our level.

This one na NFF do us no be CAF.

mostob:
For instance, the fact that you're probably 6 ft tall but your moniker says five foot

Lol. You and I both know this had nothing to do with what I asked.

But at least you can land a joke. That's the most important thing here I guess. 👍🏾

CornOak:
Not defending Madugu, but if Esther had scored that 1V1 in the last minute and Nigeria went on to turn the game around with a win, no one would have come for his head.

Yesterday, we all agreed that he got his lineup and even the subs spot-on, while expecting the ladies to finish the job.

By now, you should know that if Nigerians don't like you, there's nothing you can do to please them. Some posters on this thread were waiting for that loss, so they can affirm their "I told you so" statement.

Regardless, NIGERIA SPORTS need a total OVERHAUL.

With all due respect, your statements here read as terribly inconsistent.

If the technical decisions really were spot-on and this was purely a finishing issue, then I don't think there's anything structural to overhaul on the football side. Your last sentence automatically becomes meaningless.

From your POV, calling for an overhaul of Nigerian sports call only makes sense if you actually think something deeper (selection, prep, tactical setup) was broken, which contradicts your calling the lineup/subs spot-on just two lines earlier.

If we strictly follow your logic, then Madugu has to stay. Probably same as the current NFF. They should all stay because their only flaw is execution, not in their administration or preparation.

There's also a smaller inconsistency in the way you've framed this whole thing. You're criticizing others for outcome-based judgment (e.g "if she'd scored, no one would come for his head" while making the exact same outcome-based move in reverse (using the fact that it didn't go in as proof there was nothing wrong with the approach.)

Outcome bias cuts both ways. I don't see how Esther's missed chance doesn't retroactively validate the process any more than a scored one would have.

daveP:
Person go make critical analysis of a situation thatbis becoming Achilles hill, someone else will stand and continue to brush it off and make excuses upon excuses while attacking the former.


What exactly is your own metric of failure that need to happen for you to accept that indeed, that bar has fallen or crashed?


And if you ever arrive at an answer for the question above, when did the journey to failure begin? Or you think a successful team suddenly took a swerve off the road and crashed?


That's why i keep saying it is so Nigerian cos this very sentimental problem cuts across EVERY Govt agency and parastatals.


A failure of a boss have no conscience to step down or resign. Rather he goes about Beating his/her chest about promotion or retaining the same post.

So we ask, albeit in funny English


how failure must failure be before you accept the inevitable?


We don't see teams like Spain and England, France, doing this thing.

Im used to saying that there's a way you will play that even if you lose, everyone including opponents will stand and applaud you cos you showed class but were unlucky or outclassed.

Super Falcons Currently don't play that way. All Cameroon had to do was hust do 451 and 541. They surrendered to us having the ball and we couldn't break them down. Duels, 1v1, we failed. Aerial balls especially.


An now I'm seeing a subgroup that will turn to Vhagar and Drogon if you blame Madugu, that very subgroup are all over blaming Esther Okoronkwo for not passing to Zee. Asif that is why we are mainly here today.


We need factory reset. I guess some of us are too close to the players or the coaching crew that we don't want to bee seen as "enemies" when criticism is due.

Draw a graph and plot a trajectory of highs and lows for this team we've been watching since primary school days and tell me if this is not the lowest of the lows.


We need a Factory reset.
A true leader will take a bunch of misfits and transform then to titans. Sadly, these players are good already.
Many have gone crickets cos its a mental cope to be silent that talk about this terrible state. 😂🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
"this phase will pass" mental vacuum. Eeyah.

Talk plenty abeg.

I'm not religious but I'm inclined to say that at this point, this country needs divine intervention. Even the citizens of the country are encouraging all of this and want the country to fail. See what people like Fisayo Dairo are busy typing on Twitter. Everyday I lose faith in this country.

mostob:
This thread is amusing.

The conclusion was Madugu didn't contribute to the last AWCON we won. We won that trophy by sheer luck and individual brilliance of the players.

Why una dey swear for the innocent man head na? Make una leave our Madugu o
😂😂😂😂

What's amusing about the thread?

The saddest part of this whole thing is that there are still people primed and ready to defend NSC/NFF/Pinnick/Dikko/Sanusi/Gusau/Madugu even after all the woes that have befallen our football recently.

A friend of mine once joked that Nigeria will no longer exist centuries from now. I asked how and he said: natural selection. According to him, Nigerians' collective mindset of backwardness, poor critical thinking, and peculiar manifestations of greed, corruption, bigotry, dogmatism and selfishness etc, stands in opposition to the progress of the human species. Therefore, based on evolutionary theory of the "survival of the fittest", Nigeria as we know it today will eventually cease to exist.

It sounded completely ridiculous to me back then in uni, but that allegory has stuck with me ever since. I wonder how much of that may actually be true.

SolaFide:
With what I have seen from all the teams so far, DEM GO ALL COLLECT FOR WORLD CUP WOTOWOTO, NIGERIA NOT EXCLUDED WITH MADUGU AS COACH.

I swear. Serious flogging they will flog all of them 😂

I predict a North African derby in the final. Make Morocco and Algeria kuku kill themselves there.

Schemerkhiz:
79'- GOOAALL!!!

Malawi have completed the turnaround and now stand on the brink of World Cup qualification🤩

Kadzere with her 2nd goal of the tournament!

Thank God abeg. Our enemies (SA and Ghana) must drown with us in this mess. 😂
