On award category 3, Ramon Azeez is not a New inclusion into the SE. He is a Returnee.

On award category 9, Eberechi Ezeh is not eligible. That award is for players that have featured in any of our national Teams (From U17, 20, 23 and SE). Uncapped Foreign borns have their own exclusive award.

Please do the necessary amendments. Thanks

Well done. But 1 more nominee for each of 'best Midfielder' and 'National Team of the year.'

Please all every category must have 3 Nominations.

BascoVanVeli:
It definitely doesn't cover it. What is the use of giving ideas when only one person just shuts it down. I could have saved my breath this whole time.

Again, like I said before, consider the voting audience.

We have an NPFL player of the year award already.

Having an award for a best player that just got transferred to a foreign league will only create ambiguity.

Majority of the people out there don't even know what is happening in the NPFL and they don't know who made a move or who did not.

Please I am not shooting down your idea for shooting down sake. Not all the ideas were taken from contributors. We had to merge some for simplicity sake. Please understand that.

BascoVanVeli:
So people don't know Ahmed Musa, Etebo and Shehu came from the league? I put it to u that people would know more about players leaving the NPFL than players currently in it.

NPFL player of the year covers this, bros.
Please make your Nominations

Please make haste in your Nominations as we have a time line we are working with.

BascoVanVeli:
Solanke won the golden boy award and he is a bum now so wat is the point? The award does not tell us the future it only rewards the player with the best first season outside Nigeria

You are right. And also the award is more focused on the performance of the player(s) in 2019

BascoVanVeli:
That's not good enough. If that is the case remove all NPFL related awards because people may just not know. U are guessing that the voters won't know just liike I am guessing they will.

Simplicity is key here.

It is easier for people to identify the NPFL players that performed well than to identify the best NPFL players that got transferred to foreign leagues.

We make do with NPFL player of the year for sake of simplicity please.

Hey guys please let everything end that way okay.

Above all, I believe that what icon4s was trying to say is that we shouldn't give people like the soccenet reporter above the opportunity to compile a list of the 10 worst outings for NIGERIA in the last decades as well courtesy of a Nigerian Team that could probably make it possible in the name of friendly Match anyway.

Because, the reference would always be the SUPER EAGLES of NIGERIA whether home based or not.

2010 – 2019: Super Eagles Ten Greatest Matches Of The Last Decade

by Imhons Erons November 25, 2019

As the year 2019 runs to an end, it is also noteworthy that it is the end of yet another decade of beautiful football moments. Between the year 2010 and 2019, three FIFA World Cup tournaments, six African Cup of Nations championships and a host of other qualifying matches, friendly ties and Confederations Cup games have been played, some of which saw the Super Eagles produced some fine displays.

Soccernet Nigeria brings you the ten most memorable matches played by our darling national team within the last ten years.


1. Argentina 2 – 4 Nigeria

In preparation for Russia 2018, both the Albiceleste and Super Eagles met on a mild, mid-November evening for a friendly encounter in the Russian city of Krasnodar.

Even though the Argentines were missing the services of the talismanic Lionel Messi, the two-time World Cup winners quickly went two goals up within the first 40 minutes thanks to strikes from Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega and Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero.

Nigeria’s fans were getting worried of their team suffering a heavy defeat but Gernot Rohr’s men, who went unbeaten throughout their World Cup qualifying campaign, refused to surrender and Iheanacho halved the deficit just before the break with a sumptuous 25-yard free-kick.

Iheanacho then found an unmarked Iwobi who equalised from close range on 52 minutes, with Amkar Perm defender Idowu drilling Nigeria into a 3-2 lead moments later.

Argentina were in disarray and just when they went so close to grabbing an equalizer, Nigeria went up the other end and smashed home their fourth goal when Iwobi grabbed his second goal on 73 minutes, taking a pass from Ahmed Musa and hammering home to seal just a second win over Argentina in eight meetings.


2. Nigeria 2 – 0 Iceland

The Super Eagles return to the World Cup in Russia began on a sour note after falling to an opening day defeat in the hands of Croatia. A win was needed badly in the second game against another European side, Iceland, with Argentina waiting in the final group match. And a win Nigeria got.

Ahmed Musa, restored to the starting line-up after missing the opener, was the hero on the day.

With Nigeria’s World Cup hopes hanging by a thread after a goalless first half in Volgograd, the then Leicester forward struck a volleyed opener four minutes after the restart and further repaid boss Gernot Rohr’s faith with a fine second, 15 minutes from time.

Gylfi Sigurdsson looked set to give Iceland a late lifeline when Alfred Finnbogason earned a VAR-awarded penalty, but the Everton playmaker ballooned his 83rd-minute effort over the bar.

The win would ultimately count for nothing as an Argentina victory in the last group match sent Nigeria on the way home after another failed World Cup attempt.


3. Nigeria 3-2 Cameroon

Eternal rivals, Cameroon and Nigeria met in the Round of 16 at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Egypt.

Even though the Super Eagles qualified as group winners and the Indomitable Lions made it to the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams, there was no favourite for this game, as with any game between these two.

The encounter, as expected, started as a physical contest but Nigeria had the better chances in the opening minutes and it was no surprise when Nigeria’s name was the first to appear on the scoreboard after Odion Ighalo capitalized on a loose ball in the box to scramble home the opener.

After breaking the deadlock, however, Nigeria lost control of the game and Clarence Seedorf’s men started applying pressure for an equaliser, which finally paid off in the 41st minute when Stephane Bahoken slotted Bassogog’s cross past Daniel Akpeyi.

Moments before the interval, the situation turned sour for Nigeria as Njie fired the Indomitable Lions ahead for the first time that afternoon.

The next goal was crucial and it arrived, in favour of the Nigerians, just past the hour mark.

Ighalo it was who inspired the comeback after turning a pass from Ahmed Musa into the back of the net to set up a thrilling finale.

Three minutes later the Super Eagles were back in front and it was all thanks to Alex Iwobi, who kept his cool before applying a sweet finish to a fine assist from Ighalo.

While the Indomitable Lions worked to fight back, the Super Eagles held their ground to advance to the last eight.


4. Nigeria 4-0 Cameroon

Aside from two 6-1 thrashings of Liberia and Tahiti, this was Nigeria’s biggest competitive win of the last decade and it came against no other foe but eternal rivals, Cameroon.

It was not a friendly tie but a crucial 2018 World Cup qualifying game with a win certain to edge Nigeria closer to a sixth World Cup appearance.

The Indomitable Lions started ever so brightly but after the visitors failed to convert any of their chances, Nigeria grew in confidence and it was no surprise when former Granada striker Odion Ighalo latched onto a loose ball, shook off his defender and unleashed an accurate left-foot strike to open the home side’s account and from then on there was no turning back for the Super Eagles.

John Obi Mikel sent the Uyo fans wild when he put the home side two goals up at the close of the half, being alert to fire into the roof of the Cameroon net from a corner.

Victor Moses and Moses Simon expertly linked up throughout the game and the pair were instrumental in the third goal as the then Chelsea player slotted passed Ondoa, in Cameroon’s goal.

Soon after, Moses turned provider for the fourth with a pin-point delivery onto the head of Kelechi Iheanacho to seal a memorable evening for Nigerian football.


Nigeria 2 – 1 Ivory Coast

A Didier Drogba-inspired Ivory Coast, the highest-ranked side in Africa at the time, were the clear favourites when they faced Nigeria at the quarterfinal stage of the 2013 African Cup of Nations.

Coach Stephen Keshi had been widely criticized for departing for the tournament with a largely experimental squad and when pitted against one of the tournament’s favourites, it appeared as though it was the end of the road for the young coach.

However, Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike didn’t read the script as he opened the scoring just before half-time, smashing a thunderous effort past Boubacar Barry in the Ivorian goal.

But the Elephants had classy stars littered all over the pitch and shortly after the break, midfielder Cheick Tiote dragged the Elephants back on levelled terms after heading home from Didier Drogba’s free-kick.

Still, the Super Eagles did not despair and their winner arrived when little-known Sunday Mba sealed Nigeria’s win with a shot deflected in off Sol Bamba.

The result pushed Nigeria through to their fifth semi-final in seven Nations Cup appearances, while sending Didier Drogba into early international retirement.


5. Nigeria 1 – 0 Burkina Faso

Coach Stephen Keshi’s men had wrought the impossible by defeating Africa’s number one team, Ivory Coast, in the quarterfinals and had avoided a potential banana skin against Mali in the semifinals, but there was no glory yet as the Stallions stood strong on the path to a third AFCON triumph for the Super Eagles.

But there was to be no heartbreak for Nigerians as their darling Super Eagles dominated the encounter and made the breakthrough just before half-time when that man again, Sunday Mba clipped the ball over Mohamed Koffi and then volleyed into the far corner.

Burkina Faso almost equalised when Wilfried Sanou forced a fingertip save from goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama but there was to be no other goal as Nigeria were once again crowned the champions of Africa.

It was a win that was fully deserved for Nigeria and coach Stephen Keshi, who became only the second man to lift the AFCON trophy as a player and as a coach after captaining the Super Eagles to their second title triumph nearly 20 years earlier.

6. Nigeria 1-1 Brazil

BascoVanVeli:
Yes and while we are at it we shouldn't play in the AFCON any longer so we don't risk losing to a Madagascar

Yes and then we know that is the real Strength of our team.

And not parading a crop of players that will be negating all our pluses all in the name of Participating in one tournament called CHAN.

BascoVanVeli:
Togo played a 2 leg tie versus Benin before they played us. If you don't want to do something the right way then accept your result. U can't plant yam and harvest cassava.

I don't care about Imama being a poor coach. U can have that one but how do u know Rohr won't give the excuse when that situation has never happened?

Good that we are not even participating in CHAN next year. We don't want any team that will be spoiling our ranking as we climb up the ranking ladder ahead of the 2022 WC.

You go draw Brazil this week only for one team to lose on ur behalf to Togo. What do u call that?

safarigirl:
some people should be ineligible to be nominated to the committee if they cannot make any contributions.

There is simply no point putting people in committees, only for them to ghost when time comes.

Let's just believe they will join us as we proceed.

The task must be accomplished

safarigirl:
Where are the other people that are supposed to be part of the committee and why are they not contributing?

Bascovanveli, you that claimed you would be dropping by soon, soon never come where you dey?

What is the point of a committee that only three people are posting?

My sister, that is what i faced the last time too. You will just be chasing them all the time till we get the list of nominees. We are working on a time line. We have to move on. And by the end of today, we roll out the 2019 Awards categories, set eligibility criteria and by tomorrow we start dropping our Nominations.

BascoVanVeli:
NPFL export of the year. Basically a player of the year for players that featured in the NPFL before going abroad. For example Ahmed Musa, Oghenekaro Etebo and Shehu Abdullahi could be nominated for this award because they all played in the NPFL.

Then the Nigerian export of the year for the player who has had the best first season out of the country. Could be coming from an academy or the league, either way it must be the player's first season out of Nigeria.

This is a good idea but the challenge is how many people know which player (s) left the NPFL for foreign leagues. We should try and always put ourselves in the shoes of the wider voters out there who do not follow Nigerian football as much as we do here. For the NPFL I think 'home based player of the year' should suffice.

do4luv14:
thanks

but I did rather you assist me with a job,

When you can around, u will get to meet people. This is called networking. We have helped Link a couple of unemployed guys for jobs before. We have professionals in various industries coming that day. It will be an opportunity to meet some of them. Hope you know the chairman of Apapa LGA is also one of us.

Just call this number and tell me your real name which I know already. So I can can confirm its u. 08029434419.

hello do4luv14, I you really want to attend I can sort that out for you.

I need ur response.

do4luv14:
sorry i wont be coming, cos i dont have the fee,

have been outta work for 2 and a half year now,

Will give you a mention somewhere. Let's discuss.

TheSuperNerd:
Well, automatically the national team of the year award will easily reveal the winner of the National team's coach of the year.

Can't we find a way to merge the two?

Ok, we go with 'National Team of the Year' since the coaching crew is also part of the Team

I am also proposing National Team of the year and Nation Team coach of the year.

TheSuperNerd:
Best assist will not be a bad addition shaa. Hey, we can consider adding that. Would be cool acknowledging the creative abilities of our players too. Aina's assist for Ighalo, Osimhen's assist for Chukwueze, Musa's assist for Ighalo, Ighalo's Assist for Iwobi... Mehn... We have so much indeed. You know what Chief... I think we should add this. I came a conclusion as I kept on typing and recalling all our beautiful assists of 2018 we didn't award and the ones for 2019 we can indeed bring into the light.


On my points raised. Notification acknowledged.

You sabi book

TheSuperNerd:
Ehen.... How about Save of the year? What do you all think?

Goal keeper of the year should cover that.

safarigirl:
I didn't know the names were in commemoration to read players, I just thought it was for ex-players.

Foreign born prospect? Okay....I actually had in mind, those that are internationals for other countries, but that's fine as well.

I get am before no be your property

Only those eligible to play for Nigeria. Like I said it will also be an opportunity to hammer on the NFF and Rohr to invite such a player.

BascoVanVeli:
I would like us to think about adding,

A. Comeback player of the year: A player that returned from injury or a player that beat an adverse situation.

B. Most impactful sub of the year

Ok, but for (A) above we have a 'Most improved' award. The improvement may also be a comeback. So I feel the proposed 'Comeback award' will conflict with the 'Most improved' award.

As for (B) we all can look at but I feel the voting audience may find it difficult to ascertain. Which might lead to ambiguity.

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah.... Best foreign born prospect will be nice. And they must not include those who are already capped by Euro Nations at senior level.
The focus should be on those who are still eligible for us and we stand a probable chance of capping.



In addition, I wanna ask. Why also not consider a Nigerian Best XI for 2019? We didn't have that for 2018, but we could begin with that this year. What do you all think?

These two points are also noted.

I am also suggesting we include 'Best assist of the year' award. We have seen some crazy assists from SE games this year and they cannot go unrecognized.

More suggestions please.

By the end of tomorrow we hope to have come up with the final list of awards categories which Will also include the proposed new additions.
