Am seeing Aigbogun's hand in it,

He knows our Innit boiz more than Rohr

Oldboss:
anything igbo ia scrap

do4luv14:
Recklessly Oga humble recklessly really

Just say you no like the guy finito

BascoVanVeli:
He does well for Super Eagles 'B' and is also the captain of the squad. Pinnick has created the term 'national team player' and Ezenwa fits the description.

typicalgamer:
I’m I the only one worried Jayden Sancho is not gonna play a single match in this competition?

mostob:
Lol....I have the same thing in mind but you have to brace up bro. We might see Joseph Yobo on the bench as the coach after Rohr leave

Meliforme:
If some of us on this thread will take out time to watch full matches rather than just Youtube clips,
we will come to realise the quality we already have in our hands.

I recall when i said Frank Onyeka is a better player than Philip Billing, a popular moniker on this thread,
rose to argue with me, but later backed out, i do not know what he later discovered that made him rescind.

dozai:
Imagine that Rohr invited Okoye as a division 4 player. Didn't play him, the guy returned. Fast forward boom he is in Sparta as first choice, then starts saying he wants to take his time to make a choice of country to rep. Wetin for happen to Rohr Just asking.

andrewbaba44:
Its not by force akpeyi will be invited but there is nothing wrong with him being invited

Sirigu and fabianski are not also buffon or casillas but they are on the bench watching better young Gk start

Inviting him is just a reward of his good form and nothing else, if maduka is injured then uzoho will take over so why are you worried ?

The others young gk like alampasu and co rohr invited how many of them did he use since you guys prefer all the GK to be young

What about ezenwa that doesnt deserve any of his invitation , you guys dont like hearing the name akpeyi because of some few errors, but he was at the post at the Afcon and he didnt any error and we came 3rd

PDPGuy:
Once Rohr is done, the NFF must look to the direction of Emmanuel Amuneke to handle the SE.. I would have preferred Siaisia as my top choice but he has been banned by CAS for five years from any football-related activity

elyte89:
but even with foreign lads/coaching expatriates in our team,what has been d achievement so far in d last 5years,is d achievement dt obvious? No b same same?
From d foreign coach and players wetin we don really achieve..abegi,all na d same..make we no dey bobo ourselves

BascoVanVeli:
I think u are being nice with top 6.

andrewbaba44:
I wonder oooo

What’s bad about having akpeyi as a 3rd keeper?

In the euros there are several 30s Gk on the bench while the young GK where starting

If dem no invite akpeyi we still Dey okay ,we pour our our opinion and it has been giving them unnecessary sleepless nights

elyte89:
Who remembered dis

andrewbaba44:
You are not making sense ,just because of you don’t like akpeyi

Akpeyi starting for eagles was never on discussion here when we have Maduka and uzoho available ,so what sense are you trying to make now by saying people that want akpeyi to be recalled will be angry about Maduka good form ?

Sunday Dare; "Rohr's attitude towards home-based players is unacceptable, it's negative to our football development & I call on the NFF to call him (Rohr) to order. Rohr needs to SHUT UP & do the work of his contract, he talks too much."

My own is why are they trying to force home based players on him?

Ppogbae:
Ezenwa is injured and will not travel with the team to the USA tonight. Noble and Stanley Nwabali will take over GK duties for the tour.

jihday:
Una still dey vex that he's our number 1?

anselm791:
I stand with the government on this one.
Dangote is getting too rich for my liking.

Ofemmanu1:
hehehehe..

Dangote knows the FG too well.

Once you've been burned, everything is fire.

TheGoodJoe:
During an interview in Port Harcourt, Nigeria head coach, Bora Milutinovic, 1998, was asked by a Journalist, Sam Atasia

Sam Atasia: Bora, you know the strength of the Spanish side with the likes of Raul, Hierro, Luis Enrique, Alfonso and a host of other.

Do you think the Nigerian Super Eagles should be scared of facing Spain?

Bora: Spain should be scared of Nigeria.


The journalists were speechless.

Few weeks later, we heat Spain and won the group that had Paraguay and Bulgaria.


Rohr should learn a thing or two from Bora.

JohnBullMySon:
True. Our squad needs to become stable and play more games. Nobody who hasn't played before should even be invited again, except Lookman. I saw some improvements against Cameroon though, except that Marcus was killing that midfield.

JohnBullMySon:
The major problem is the lack of coordination and cohesion that comes from African teams. I have been watching the SE for sometime and our problem is not Rohr tactics. Rather we haven't bonded as a team. We train only a week to matches played about twice or three times a year.

If you observe our team closely, you'll see that we hardly drop quick passes. Individual brilliance has always been our best bet against big teams. If we train enough to pass the ball seamlessly, We go even play quarter final for this EURO.

andrewbaba44:
Did Senegal make it out of the group stage ?

Curtisaxel10:
Saw him playing in Aigbogun's U-20 horror team of shame. Nothing extraordinary about the lad. He was a bit above his teammates' level, but then, that was a scandalously piss poor team. Bang average player. Unless he has done some improvement.

Africa had just five teams while Europe had more than twice as much. Africa no be am in what way? Nigeria don beat Spain before even when they were favourite, same with Senegal beating France, Cameroon beating Argentina, Ghana etc. So which is Africa no be am. What has Switzerland, Austria, Hungary achieved in football? But cos they are Europeans you people will start praising them to the gallery. Football no be mathematics. This Switzerland team can never beat us. Take that to the bank!

andrewbaba44:
Argentina is not good as before for sure but you can’t just say Switzerland will beat them common ,Argentina made it to the World Cup finals recently

Belgium beat Brazil well ,was it 5-0 ?

England only beat Colombia on penalties

Uruguay also beat Portugal

South Americans no plenty but the wahala too much

The ranking is important ,it’s not FIFA rankings it’s just how teams have been good on tournament since 2010

andrewbaba44:
Europe are better for sure ,it’s just that the few South Americans power house are at the top

Take a look at the best national teams since 2010 and you can see 4 South American teams there from their small continent

elyte89:
What baffles me most is dt most of our players and oda African players are trained and coached under d same terrain with dier European/south american counterpart, yet dey can't replicate dis high level of organization when dey come back home to rep us as been shown in deir various clubs dereby making school boy errors,losing concentration @ dying minute, not converting deir dead balls situations etc abi shey dis oyinbo coaches dey reformat our players psyche b4 coming here to rep us

fabyom:
The quality of footy displayed today by these European teams was amazing.
Fortunately for African teams, this tournament has shown that most of these European teams have only few elite/world-class players.
They are definitely beatable.
Most of these teams will struggle against Morrocco, Senegal, Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, and Ghana.

jihday:
They are European teams, they play each other every now and then you can't expect the big boys to always win, the last time Switzerland beat France was in 92.
