The Boys are uninspiring but I still enjoy the victory today against the host, most especially the delay tactics by the young eagles.... So this north Africans know say the thing dey pain and they are specialist in doing it .

Our goal keeper is my MVP, those saves are mad.
Not easy playing against a host team.
I have watched all games of the tournament so far and there are two teams that can give Nigeria a running for their money and they are Senegal and Gambia. We just hope not to play The Gambia in that crucial quarter final game.

Update: We May Have Just Found A New Reliable Super Eagles Goalkeeper 🇳🇬🦅

Amas Obasogie (Bendel Insurance):

He kept all 9 games of Bendel Insurance, keeping 7 clean sheets and Conceded just three goals.

Jose Peseiro, please extend an invitation to this kid💪🏿

No data on the effect of long ball. Finito
How can there be any official data or statistics on the effectiveness of long balls?

From times old till present, players with the ability to effectively pass with long balls are highly rated. We need such a player in our team especially with someone like Osimhen playing up front.

Lol... It is not Google. I know these names and history naturally.

Is this the first time I discuss Nigerian football of the past? Is this the first time I mention Thompson Usiyen?

So no, it is not Google. It is a fantastic memory of the words of my football fore fathers and my early football history lesson/research days as a young boy.
Ok, I believe you, 'The Super Nerd' wink

Victor Osimhen and the Weah Serie A Goals Record

George Weah scored 46 goals in 114 Serie A games (108 starts) all in the colors of AC Milan.

Victor Osimhen is currently on 34 goals in 64 Serie A games (51 starts).

He only needs 13 more goals to overtake The Great and Super Legendary George Weah.
Hmmm.... good Goals to game ratio. However, he is yet to live up to expectations at the national team level. Na that one matter for me pass.

Looolll... 60s, 70s we still never sabi anything for football but our first Afcon medal came in 1976. So I guess that is what really kicked off our rise in the continent. Late 70s which spilled over into the 80s and before the Golden Generation era of the 90s.

The Likes of the mercurial Haruna Ilerika, Baba Otu Mohammed and the sharp shooter Thompson Usiyen were key parts of that legendary 76 team. That 76 team try shaa. I call them legendary because they gave us our first of many senior continental medals. Their generation pioneered our rise in continental football.

Haha and the worst thing then be say no YouTube to watch highlights. Na only wetin NTA fit show us many years after we Sabi.

Honestly, national team football was something else back then, even within Africa. Likes of Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Ghana (of the 70s) and Cameroon were always huge obstacles but Naija dey fit challenge dem Wella sha, especially in the 80s. In the 70s we never Sabi play like that.

I understood your context. But you see, Okala and Ogedegbe were both at the 1980 Afcon, not so? Okala was also at the 1978 Afcon.

Maybe Chief Icon4s didn't see the 1973 All African games shaa. Coz I know Okala was there too.

Finally, Okala was a mega star with the Legendary Enugu Rangers of yore in the 70s so I am guessing he must have seen him at some point.

Abi una Eldership level no reach that period again? grin
Hahaha, Emmanuel Okala and Best Ogedengbe. I wasn't old enough to follow them live but by watching the clips of the 1980 AFCON I saw their heroics. I also saw replays of the 1978 WC qualifiers.

Talk about 1973? I no old reach like that o. Dem never born my elder brother sef cheesy

Okoye is not Super Eagles standard. Back in the days he would not even had been first choice goalie for our U23 team.

okoye was rated among the best in the Dutch league and even won Sparta’s best player of the season before he left for England

It was his performance that attracted Ajax then but the deal didn’t happen before he opted to join watford

In the national team he has been awful but as a coach you will be forced to give him a call up then based on his performance in Holland
I have never rated Okoye. In the national colors he always seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. Take 4 shots on goal and Okoye will chop 3 goals.

Going by your logic, Costa left Brazil aged 17 so he shouldn't have chosen Spain. Also do you know that Messi is older than Costa and Thiago? So if they chose Spain during the peak years of Spain, that means Messi too would have made the team before them not when Spain was being knocked out by S. Korea. When Spain won the WC in 2010, Messi was 23 and in his prime years.

I disagree with the emboldened...

Nigerian Football's True Glories may have started with the Super Eagles but it surely doesn't end with the Super Eagles.

We have national teams who did exceptionally well this year. We have players who dorned our jerseys and repped with distinction. Are we gonna ignore them just because the Super Eagles lost 5 friendlies in one year?

What about the fact that this same Super Eagles sit top of their Afcon Qualifiers group? We could lean a bit on that.

Now look at this, holistically... in 2022:

- Nigeria's U17 Golden Eaglets won the Wafu B Afcon Qualifiers tournament with distinction. We won all games. We have lads like Emmanuel Michael, Abubakar Abdullahi, Precious Williams, Richard Odoh (GK), Jibril Azeez, Raphael Oyebanjo, Basil Mbata, Ebube Okere, Ozor Okeke, Miracle Ogwor, Yahaya Lawali, Jeremiah Olaleke, Light Eke etc all in that squad of truly talented youngsters.

Are we not gonna recognise them?

- Nigeria's U20 Flying Eagles won the Wafu B Afcon Qualifiers Tournament as well. We won it unbeaten.

The squad includes impressively talented lads like Daniel Daga, Ibrahim Muhammed, Tolulope Ojo, Oluwatosin Adegbite, Nathaniel Nwosu (GK), Ahmed Abdullahi and a few more.

Are we not gonna recognise them?


- Nigeria’s Flamingoes won Bronze at the FIFA U17 WWC becoming the Second African side to bag a medal at that level.
Impressive lasses like Opeyemi Ajakaye, Amina Bello, Edidiong Etim, Miracle Usani, Taiwo Afolabi, Faith Omilana (GK), etc.

Should we ignore them too??


- Our Super Falcons didn't win the Wafcon but we saw Asisat Oshoala earn a Ballon D'or Nomination and ranking this year. When was the last time a Nigerian player man or woman earned that?


I think we should go ahead with the NNFF Awards. We have feats and talents to recognise even in the midst of a bad year in general for the Super Eagles.


Cc Danielnino00, Icon4s.
That's the point.
The awards are not just for the Super Eagles alone. There are also other categories that have to do with Youths and Women football players.

After all Clubs still go ahead and vote for their player of the year irrespective of whether they win any trophy or not.
