maidaboi:
looks like we want draw this match

Won’t be a bad result either

The way Chelle cracked our midfield woes need to be studied, where previous coaches has failed he made it look so easy

Samueltemi337:
What a save from Okoye

Reason we may win this game

Nice save from our keeper

lbrichman2:
I say Poland no good

We are playing well that’s why it looks that way our boys have been knocking the ball around exceptionally in this game am even surprised

Kudos to Chelle

mostob:
Wait o... Na the same Naija dey play or another team?

Chelle, you change our life 🤲🤲

Chelle is a great coach, he’s made the eagles put the ball on the ground and enjoy themselves

Looking forward seeing how the eagles will set up against Portugal

Onyedika and the ball get scores to settle 😂

Clint02:
Only Portugal will be the real test. This Poland is not that compact.

Is this not a good pre-test?

So much to learn in two good games

Can we what Poland is doing now, this is why I wanted all our best players to be available to learn more about scenarios like this. Portugal too will offer us more

Sugarboyy:
Imagine a SE team without players like Aina on the right, Bassey in defence, Iwobi in midfield and Osimhen and Lookman in attack still playing like a European team with clean passes and ball controls. What Chelle cannot do doesn't exist.

That’s why we need all of them to play regularly together more in matches like this it helps in fine tuning the team and stronger mentality for tougher games

lbrichman2:
Them no good abeg
They can only score from a defensive mistake or lapse in concentration, even if we play for 1 week

Are still they good or not?

1-1

DrYa:
Nnadi is good

No wonder Marseille bought him

Spainever:
I was thinking Osihmen would have use these friendly matches to increase his goals record for the national team.

Very dissapointing just see opportunity to break record and rain goals wasting away

wow didn’t know Poland wasn’t going to the World Cup

lbrichman2:
Poland no good joor

heyyyy be careful!

Poland go vex play ball now

Toylove:
Yes, it counts
Moffi goal

It’s surely a goal

How’s that off na

Eagles Tracker YouTube channel is streaming the match for those still looking for where to watch

minfelix:
see as Nnadi and co, take dey hustle especially all those NFF boys that played unity cup, just give them one major football breakthrough(Like signing for Barca,Chelsea,Arsenal etc, and maybe they put up like 30-40caps for super eagles….watch how big manism go enter….flimsy excuse why dey will not show up for matches will start to arise🤣🤣🤣

It's terrible, honestly. I will never criticise ex-players like Oliseh and Ikpeba again, who always find something to say about the current Eagles and their mentality as they keep proving them right about some things. Am done defending this current team, especially against the ex players.

minfelix:
Those white guys have natural love for the game…Thats why you see Ronaldo still wanna play till 2070 worldcup, Thats why you see Lewandowski 38yrs no gree hang boot but turning up for inconsequential friendly, thats why we saw Messi sometimes ago announced his retirement from Argentina national team in 2016 but rescinded his decision to come back (if na black man make that announcement, sope otilor(e.g Victor Moses).

Africans(Especially Nigeria) with mentality of senior manism ….
forming humility from days of (u17/u20/u23/awaiting first national team call up), once they become established them no send una papa again…some will use language of “Super eagles no b my papa get am, if dem no wan call me up again no wahala, i go simply F off”
was that the energy in your formative/debut days? NO!

Even Awoniyi Dey tell us say e get personal things to sort out! Make we no worry we go beat everybody silly at the next World Cup and come home with the trophy 😂 jokers

Joebie:
If I were Chelle, I would rest all our stars. We are not World cup bound

the more reason the stars should play cos the day you’ll need them they will go and rest too like we’ve seen in previous games!

jedisco:
I hope this thread can get past these shenanigans.

I remember when the mainstay of discussions here were solely focused on how to pass a driving test or improve ones credit score and folks got upset when discussions deviated from that. Today, while those are still important, we have moved to a broader array of topics. Where we were then was what gave certain voices the room to thrive. Now, we have the mortgage thread with an increasing number getting on the mortgage ladder.

Like I said before, it takes a significant level of underachievment for one to see their life satisfaction from a piece of kpali to the extent of hoping around denigrating others. Experience tells me most of these folks are probably living off benefits paid for by working members of the society. There's lots of wealth to be made in the UK with new evolving pathways and vacant businesses as older folks retire. Those old enough should at least be able to share experiences.

I remember gulping on Ticha's mussings about her experience in NZ where she went to work as a teacher. She also discussed how she put her UK home on AirBnB while there- an idea that came to mind when I moved. If not mistaken, she also posted pics of a house they bought and how they went about renovating it- too bad, she didn't continue this as I was deeply interested and did something similar. All said, I am quite certain that certain narratives will dissipate with time

The fact that other threads have been created out of here is a testament to the success of this thread and that’s what matters.

It’s good to still have dissenters here so we have a feel of what it’s like from those on the other side and how they truly feel about whatever. This thread still serves lots of purposes just look at the pension conversation and am sure so many have been further enlightened about it. So many questions still come up here and get answered. Let’s not be swayed by those who tend to denigrate others that’s the current world we live in.

About those vacant businesses I tend to hear more about this from North America, don’t know usually hear almost anything from the uk and I know it exists just that info about them are almost non existent, what I hear more are Amazon delivery services (where you can operate a branded fleet) franchises and so on. Will be nice to know how buying vacant businesses in the uk works.

TheSuperNerd:
My man, if Osimhen said all Awo said here.... Ringlights would be mounted across social media with people dishing out opinions, perspectives, angles and backlashes...

We know how it goes.

Awo has not really been around so not many will bother.

I however found that talk of his disgusting but maybe elder Kogi45 can help us out here na im boy!

Mujtahida:
This is the first world cup that is starting off totally bland. No media hype. No stadium and city displays. No docuseries.

Is it because Nigeria did not qualify?

it's all on the Orange Man, the jagunjagun of the northern hemisphere

elyte89:
What could be the announcement

Any other announcement apart from playing in those friendlies, I'm not interested.

zicky:
i remember in the past, most Europe national teams gives terms for playing friendlies, which is you guarantee having your best players for the game or else no game.

Am even surprised that teams no longer give this condition, no wonder all these yeye things dey happen.

Meliforme:
I don't think you read my points well.

So you justify playing Ademola Lookman back to back in two consecutive games (a 4-day gap) for 90 minutes plus.

It is well

And what's so special about that? If it's a tournament or qualifiers, will he not play?

chrisooblog:
If we were going to the WC would the two players be saying they want time off?

Like we say in this part of the world the morning indicates what the day will be like.

Teams that win tournaments make sacrifices at the beginning because of the ultimate objective.

Hope the senior players understand this and adjust.

Ironically our SF who are the most successful team we have and can afford to be arrogant are the ones begging for friendlies which the NFF doesn't organize.

Imagine this was the same thing the likes of okocha were doing back in the day selecting World Cup qualify matches to play until we lost out in the 2006 World Cup. No way I will ever support our senior players skipping matches for flimsy excuses.

In fact with this rubbish we have given nff not to bother much about organising grade a friendlies in the future let’s just stick to playing Iran, Jordan and unity cup going forward na that one suit us especially for this current squad

minfelix:
Like dey call Poland and Portugal friendly meaningless?🤣🤣 walai some people don ya werey…

Bro e shock me pass electric shock 😂

mo ti gan pa(I don freeze)

Zahra29:
The above isn't very coherent, what exactly are you asking me?

Aunty don’t divert I didn’t even put you in any corner! Am even enjoying the conversation so free me jor

Zahra29:
1. You're a bit confused, healthcare is not like the university sector and (no matter how many times you say it on nairaland) migrants are not subsidising Brits healthcare - when the same Brits have been paying into the system for years and decades.

2. It is a myth that migrants do not use the NHS, especially when you consider that mothers and children make up a large(r) proportion of the migrant population.

3. Lol @ Peter and Paul. Histrionics as always.
You are aware, I hope, that the IHS is only applicable to newly arrived migrants and that settled migrants/residents no longer pay the surcharge?

Newly arrived migrants as how? The shortest time on the average migrants get settled is 5 years that’s if they came in straight as skilled workers o or as spouses of citizens but for some folks and so many it took some 2 or 3 years to become skilled workers after initial temporary visas like student visas or what have you so for these group they pay ihs as much as 10 years before they finally become settled. Not forgetting income taxes which also funds the nhs. I know narratives like this won’t suit you but please perish that thought of newly arrived migrants as if they get settled status after a year or two.
