How true is dis


@TheSupernerd

So where is the away kit? Before I comment on it

Modified: How can grey be our away Jersey?
Pinick wetin be this na?

Nigeria is known for Green or White. Those are our national colours.

ChrisKels:
Icon4s right now...

Yes o this takes me back me to our Glory days that Enyimba would win away by a 3 goals margin.


Abi na because we sack coach Abdallah?

TheSuperNerd:
I trust that he will. He is a desperate buy for Man Utd. They needed a natural no.9 so Iggy it is for the remaining part of the season.

Hmm I don't have a good feeling about this.

Danielnino00:
Did you know ??

If u multiply Arsenal points by 2,they will still be behind Liverpool


if u add arsenal and man utd point together, they will still be behind Liverpool

Sharrapdiar!!!!

Continue dey make mouth. Your pear don cook. Enjoy it while it lasts.

TheSuperNerd:
Well said. We Sabi ball for this thread. We know who we voted. I did the counting alongside my Dad, Icon4s and Iggy won by a good margin.

Fine way to begin a new month across the world. Lol.

#IggyIsARedDevil

It remains to see whether he will get games o

Philosopher1979:
Vardy and ndidi might get injured again. He is rushing them back and it might be counter productive

.... because of lack of depth in the team

tbaba1234:
Nazifi was in Spain division 4. So he returned home and went to Tunisia.

Good for him.

Nigeria is now lacking quality players between the ages of 18 and 20. This is not a good omen.

TheSuperNerd:
Some teams in Africa right now that Norway cannot stand and will not beat if all sides play with full strength:

Nigeria - Not a boast. The Super Eagles will massacre Norway.

Senegal- No mincing of words. Senegal will flog them.

Algeria- will bash Haaland and co.


Morocco - Most definitely will defeat Norway.


Cote d'Ivoire- They can beat Norway. Highest Norway go see here na draw.

Ghana- If they are serious, Norway will fall at the hands of our bredas too.

Tunisia- The Carthage Eagles will and can beat Norway.

Cameroun- Cameroun will use gra gra football and bounce Norway. Lol.... That match na draw soup las Las.

See even Egypt can get a pyrrhic victory against Norway.


I love Haaland but plsssss Norway is no match. I won't hype up Norway because of Haaland.

Norway, na teams like Benin, Madagascar and South Africa go fit follow Dem play draw

Na so Dem hype Iceland for this thread tire. Las-las when we beat Dem they say they are farmers, carpenters and fishermen bla-bla-bla.

Subzero047:
Core Norway team

Nyland - Aston Villa
K. Ajer - Celtic
S. Berge - Sheffied United
Joshua King - Bournemouth
M. Odegaard - Real Madrid
M. Daehli - Genk
Ellabdoelli - Olympiacos
H.Nordveit - Hoffeinham
Haarland - Borrussia Dortmund

These guys are not carpenters and they have organization and football upbringing not jam body African football

Bros, Naija go flog this team.
Take that to the bank.

tbaba1234:
Liverpool better lose soon... They are getting too close to 49 unbeaten..

I tell you bro. They must not erase our record o.

Koboko99:
I heard his 4 daughters were in the helicopter with him. I pray it's fake news. RIP Black Mamba #legend

No Fake News bro.

RIP Kobe.

Enyimba needs a draw in the last group game to qualify as the two other opponents in their group played out a 0-0 draw.

Meanwhile Rangers are out ! As Al Masry won 1:0.

TheSuperNerd:
Was about to say Enyimba is not yet through until I saw the Modified. But Dad... Make I ask Biko... Why Enyimba go dey draw for their fortress, Aba? What is happening? Kilonshele?

Firstly the visiting team today, Hassania Agadir have not lost a single game at this group stage. They are a team on a very good run of form. Secondly, Enyimba have lost their steam. I don't know what Chairman Anyasi Agu is doing. We need to take Enyimba back up where we belong.

TheSuperNerd:
Please, My Dad is the legend. Icon4s is the boss of bosses. I shall not let this accolade get to my head. Popcy Icon4s!!! The lion himself! Na u Biko...

Well,...

DrLikita12:
And they did it.
I hope it will be enough to save them, but it's a good result regardless and a huge morale booster seeing as Pyramids currently top the group.

Pyramids 0-1 Rangers
Enyimba 1-1 HUSA

And with these results Eyimba are through to the knock out stagees with a game to spare, just behind Hassania Agadir. While Rangers Will have to pray that Al Masry drop points tonight to have a hope of qualifying on the last match day.

Modified: Enyimba not through yet. We need to see the result of the other group game later tonight.

meolaniyi:
The Fulanis can not use politics to divide us. We are Yorubas before politics of APC or PDP
this is for the interest of the Yorubas and the South. I know very well that Igbos will never go against us.
most of the comments abusing Yorubas here using Igbo monikers are well known.

The average Igbo man will be happy that this security outfit stays.
the days of division in the south is gone that is why the Fulanis are jittery

We should all understand that the strength of the Fulanis is the division in the south.
I used the world Fulanis because majority of the northerners are under their bondage
most of them in the north are looking up to the south to rescue them.

I am a Muslim and I believe in Allah the most merciful and his prophet. The radical Islam of Fulanis cannot find its way into Yoruba land

God bless you bro. This is one of the best posts I have read on the political section of nairaland in the last 10yrs!

The South must Unite against the Northern oppression.

Kbs468:
I don't think Icon4s meant that though but was rather talking with respect to the tactical changes made following the Luiz sending off as the key Man in the defence set up

Did u also see how he managed the tactical change when Aubameyang received the red card against Crystal Palace. Most coaches would have pulled off an attacking player and introduced a Midfielder but Arteta pull out Ozil and brought in Martinelli thereby playing 4-2-3 and it almost paid off!

Arteta is tactically sound.

Arteta is truly a very good tactician.

Arsenal should just beef up their squad against next season.

After that Red card Arsene Wenger would have lost 6:0 and Emery would have lost 3 or 4 nil.

Subzero047:
David Luiz is a DISASTER!!!

David Luiz? Or you mean Mustafi?

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah... But then the battle for the one slot from each group throws up some titanic battles involving some of the groups' top 2.

Yeah...but recall the last qualifiers typically had up to 3 top teams per group. I think it is relatively easier this time mostly because unlike last qualifiers where we had 20 teams at this stage, this time we are having 40.

Another thing is Nigeria's ranking really helped. Recall the last time we were in pot 3 while Cameroon and Algeria were the top 2 ranked teams. Being a seeded team helped this time for us avoid the top ranked teams.

Though I am not ruling out any team in that group but I think all 6 games are winnable. Like I had earlier pointed if we can cruise through our AFCON and WC qualifiers our FIFA ranking will tremendously improve and we may stand a good chance of being placed in a favorable good. Thank God we are not playing CHAN this year , so our ranking for this year and next would be based solely on the Super Eagles performances.

TheSuperNerd:
See who is liking the comment of the Super Eagles Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye....

#ManCan'tWaitToDornThatJerseyOfTheGWG.

Well, all the groups look easy for the top 2 seeded teams on paper.

Victor Moses belongs to the last decade. We have moved on.

CAF Africa Zone WCQ draws day- Today (Jan 21)

Time: 17.00 hr GMT (5pm GMT) i.e. 6pm Naija Time.

Waiting anxiously

tbaba1234:
Interesting to see the Kano Pillars, Rangers and Enyimba close to the bottom.

Check number of games played for those 3 teams.

BascoVanVeli:
Look who's in the PROFESSIONAL I mean relegation zone

Oga Icon4s I know you will climb out with your games in hand but I dey laugh you sha.....



Bants!!!

A team that has 4 games in hand. We only need to win just 2 out of the 4 and climb into the upper half of the table.

Yes of course even though it is more of a Middle to Upper Class sport

Danielnino00:
Because he is human..

Is it so wrong for an ex international to coach the national team ?
Didn't Keshi and Siasia achieve success with the national team when they were in charge?
Some of the most successful national teams in the world are being coached by ex internationals..

It is not even an issue of "ex-international" I don't even care whether who is in charge is an ex-international or not. All we need is results.

Keshi, before coaching Nigeria took Togo to the 2006 WC and also took Mali to the 2010 AFCON. He had a good national team experience on the continent before being offered the SE job.


Siasia had coached the U20 Team in 2005 and U23 in 2008, winning the U20 AFCON and winning Silver medals each at the respective world tournaments. He also coached the U20 Team in 2009. So Siasia was proven at youth level before we attempted to give him the opportunity as the Senior National Team coach
What has Yobo done since after retiring from the SE?

I am shocked that someone like Segun Odegbami should be making such a recommendation.

Do people understand the level of responsibility attached to being the coach of a national Team? It goes beyond being a pundit o

jihday:
but someone think we should give the job to yobo because he has over 100 caps which means he sabi the job

Then Messi and Ronaldo should be given the Barcelona and Real Madrid jobs respectively straight away immediately they retire

tbaba1234:
Does Yobo even have coaching licenses? Would he be using the national team as industrial training/ practicals?

I don't just understand.

THE NATIONAL TEAM IS THE ONLY PRIDE LEFT IN THIS COUNTRY. And some people still want to run it down.

jihday:
nobody is saying he shouldn't coach the SE but he needs to prove he can do it, it's wrong for anybody to even suggest his name, on what basis? What has he done? Keshi coached U-20, Togo and Mali's NTs. Siasia handled U-20 and U-23 even Chukwu handled Kenya and used to be assistant to either Bonfree or Westerhof. The NT job isn't to be used as a training ground for anybody.

You get thge point.
..in addition Amuneke won the U17 WC and took Tanzania to the AFCON after they couldn't qualify since after 39 yrs
