At the bolded some player failed to qualify us for world cup in Qatar, should we discard them?

I will take npfl star over Dennis Emmanuel... Oboabona was picked from the Npfl then likewise Mba... I can tell you the quality in the league now is better than then

Is Victor Osimhen a one-season wonder?

mostob:
All join. We don't have pure AM again. In the past, players like Bruno, Odegaard, Mount, Benardo, KDB and even Iwobi would be classified as AMs but not anymore. So forget this AM talk.

Odunayaw:
Solanke?

Blueelf:


Yea, he will. He is a far better finisher that Osimhen

Tobichimezie:

Sarcasm or no sarcasm the truth has to be said. We just don't have elite players, just "decent enough" players to get us by every now and again. Don't expect too much from this AFCON with this team if I were you

jihday:
he has been very very good this season

Samueltemi337:
Ndidi has really improved
Maybe he is just the 10 we are looking for

Something is fundamentally wrong with the triune running Nigeria’s football.

The coach, nff and sport ministry.

TheGoodJoe:


Whether his attitude is affecting Nwakali or not is not the point of discussion. It is how poor his personal behavior is and what is elyte89's take on his attitude.

Samueltemi337:
Chuba Akpom scored for Ajax yesterday

Tobichimezie:
How the bloody hell did Emmanuel Dennis out of nowhere get selected over Akpom,, Ejuke or Gift Orban? why must every Nigerian team selection be marred with controversy and drama?

This Rivers united are apere United. They’ve lost all their away games. This make me ponder, are our present home based players as good as we promote them to be?

chrisooblog:
While we were the off 'air' it seems there was a civil war brewing on twitter between Nigerian sports journalists over the AFCON invitees leading to a serious home vs foreign based players debate

MetalJigsaw:
That Peseiro guy is such a dunce😂

4 g. keepers
Just 5 midfielders
And 8 attackers with 5 of them being strikers🤣🤣🤣

elyte89:



If I may ask ,what will u have done different if u re in nff ? I just want to hear …cos me sef no sabi

Marjoribanks:
This is actually close to my prediction!
Ahmed Musa experience is needed in the team especially in competition like this where our foreign born might struggle based on January-Feb weather situations in West Africa. Awoniyi absence gave room for Musa's inclusion. The other options are not in any way better than Musa.

My only objection is the 4 goalkeepers! Remove one goalkeeper for Nwakali and we are good to go!

Marjoribanks:
With what I watched during the qualifiers AFCON and with all our players available the AFCON is ours to lose!
I don't really see any team better than us on the continent!

I have never trusted this amuneke.

This is the person some agents here wants to be the coach of super eagles.

All these egunje collecting coaches. Lmao.

mostob:
We are our own problem in this country. Not like Salah was even exceptional. You go pick a stranger ahead of someone who you nurtured and gave the big break.

AndSunGorilla:
Am just so happy that Osimhen didn't go to the club that seems lately to be wrecking careers and putting exceptional players to shame. Imagine, one of the GOATs was disgraced out of the club, look at one the finest young English prospect in the Bundesliga at some point disgraced, a multiple champions league midfielder now no more relevant, or do we talk about the fine young talent from Crystal Palace so full of promise, hmmm, how about the Camerounian goalie now turned into bottomless basket? Na wa o!!!!
Osimhen, God really loves you.


Na just play o

Hanibal:


I also think another problem with the Nigerian league that people hardly pay attention to is fatigue occasioned by teams having to travel long distances on our bad roads to play away matches.... Imagine if shooting stars is to play Doma United, they will have to travel almost 20hrs ( that's assuming a smooth journey) by road to the match venue, and arrive a few hours to the match! That's a huge advantage for the home team already! So the best the away team can hope for is a draw.
One of the reasons why away wins are scarce in the league asides poor officiating

Hence it becomes difficult for a team to dominate the table with several points, regardless of quality

Kog45:
The officiating in present day NFF has improved and with results have seen so far in SA league so far showed not much difference cuz they too rely on home games.

Yes you are right the quality then was a bit high than what we have now but notwithstanding I don’t see Mamelodi achieving such results here with 4 games to play.

ChrisKels:
If the coach wasn't an ekuke, Fulham has already giving him a blue print of the centre back combo that could bring him success, and he needs to act fast, especially as Adarabioyo doesn't require any special FIFA clearance to play for Nigeria, everything could be taken care of within a week since the boy already has a Nigerian passport.

mostob:
It is not the mistake boss. How will Peseiro be hiding a secret goalkeeper for Afcon? It is funny

Sir, how do we expect a big time farmer-with no passion for football and he confided in his friend when he was chosen as sport minister that he knew next to nothing abort sport, to reason?

With his statement, though I cherish and love Nigeria due to so many factors, I know at d AFCON SEs’are doomed
