Pitso Mosimane in love with our Super Eagles? Should the NFF get him?

Pitso Mosimane;

“To be honest, I would like to coach in the World Cup. I do not choose what comes, I would like to go to the World Cup. South Africa wants to qualify, Nigeria wants to qualify.

"If you have Chukuweze and the boy (Osimhen) playing for Napoli as your striker, I mean really. That Nigerian team is unbelievable. I saw the draw against Lesotho and Zimbabwe. Okay, its football, it happens. But how can politics between the government and the federation derail the team?

"Of course, I want South Africa to win because I am South African. But in reality, I think Nigeria has the team (Players). I really would like to go to the World Cup, but it must be a good team that can compete."

I know Pitso had always admired Nigerian football especially as he tasted several defeats from us during his time as the coach of SA but, sorry, the Super Eagles is above his level of coaching.
Besides, can he withstand the mental stress of working with the NFF?

France 2:1 Mali FT

For me, Mali were the best team in the tournament.
This was the team that could have given them their first U17 title. The "Almost" syndrome, killed them again today.

MetalJigsaw:
Mali are in big trouble now, they're one man down. And they conceded a goal immediately after that. ( They were leading 1-0 initially)

It's currently FRA 1-1 MAL

Mali were slight favourtes coming into this game though

They were leading 1:0 and looked like the team to get another goal until that rough tackle and the red card. Now it is 2:1 for France.

At a point in this game I was already seeing them beating Germany in the final
Mali and "älmost" syndrome na 5 & 6.

Icon4s:
Mali and their "Almost" syndrome. Hope it won't hurt them again today.

Who else is watching France vs Mali U17 WC Semi?

Looks like it has come to hurt them again

Infolenka:
The thought of losing a loved one scares the shit out of me. I've been lucky not to have lost anyone close to me. Condolences to those who have.

For those that have lost loved ones in the past, I'm curious to know how you dealed with the loss, especially few days after their death.

Feel free to go into details if you want.

January 25th, 2022 I lost a cousin (Aged 40) that came to our family house to spend Christmas. Buried first week in February.

March 11th, 2022, I lost my elder brother's wife (aged 50)

August 3rd, 2022, I lost my dear Mom (aged 74)

August 29th, 2022, I lost my elder brother(aged 52) that lost his wife in March

At that point we had 3 dead family members in the mortuary.

Worst period of my life. People were asking who is next.... Uncles and Auntie were always checking on those of us still remaining, to know if we are ok. Stories flying here and there.

It all seemed like a terrible nightmare. It still feels same.

Buried my brother and his wife October 21st 2022 (looked like something from a Nollywood drama) and buried mom December 30th, 2022.

This is a situation I don't wish even my enemy to go through.

Time dey say heals wounds.

Angelfrost:
Amaka Igwe and Christy Essien-Igbokwe have no business on that list...!


Those were Amazons while alive, and breaking new ground in the Entertainment Industry... Death didn't make them more popular than they already were, they were simply celebrated for their milestones.

You people should learn to do proper research and fact-finding before rushing to create topics and threads.

The author must be a very young person and so didn't know Amaka Igwe and Christy Essien Igbokwe at their primes

Icon4s, Thesupernerd, Charlesemeka85, Joebie and Andsungorilla, good morning sirs.

The thread is now officially open for the nomination process.

Good morning Danielnino00. Good morning all team members.

You may, please, need to roll out the nomination criteria and what the process entails.

Kog45:
Oga no be initial gra gra o…it seems the gap is no longer wide o as before,initially I thought it was wide but with results coming outs the smaller teams no send o

The stronger teams will up their games as the qualifiers proceed. The only minnows that I see as being capable of pushing to the end are The Comoros Islands.

Togo held Senegal to 0:0
Libya 1: 1 Cameroon

Comoros 1:0 Ghana FT

ChrisKels:


Wetin be scores?

Comoros leading 1:0. 94mins played

minfelix:
comoros 1-0 Ghana…wotowoto loading😂..all this small african teams no get respect again oo

Na initial gra-gra. When the bigger teams turn on the heat, the smaller teams will melt

Come to think that Mali is also in that group......

isan:
Why's everything working in Nigeria favor?

Rwanda has given us a second chance.

Benin and Lesotho played 0:0

Mujtahida:

We've never started a WCQ with this kind of wackness.

The WCQ for Russia 2018 was tough but due to the fact that we started well winning Zambia 2-1 in their home, it set us up nicely and we qualified.

Now see the sham this man has put us in playing weak teams like Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

Yes, we started with a 2-1 win away to Zambia while our other two opponents Cameroon and Algeria played 1:1. And the other teams played catch-up till it was all over.

Now we have put ourselves in a very difficult position

NFF should sack this coach before midnight today.

Samueltemi337:
You don forget when we nor dey qualify for AFCON?

We Lost to a team like Egypt and the other it was South Africa and PR Congo ahead of us.
This one we cannot beat a team like Lesotho and Zimbabwe are already ahead. It has never been this bad.

These are the Lowest moments of our football.
We've never had it this bad.

When I saw that starting lineup, I was like

charlesemeka85:
Footballer, Chibuike Nwaiwu, Seen Training With A Club In Israel, Few Days After His Club, Enyimba FC Announced Him Missing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The guy Japa, without Enyimba collecting transfer fees. Enyimba no want make him go greener pastures? His face in that pix says it all

Based on popular vote, the award will go ahead this year.
Thanks to all those who voted..

Shortly, the calendar of events would be announced, so we can have the winners ready before the end of the year..

Kudos, Danielnino00 for taking this up. We are with you all the way.

None of these players mentioned above have been consistently outstanding with top level performances for club and league.

So you are essentially agreeing with me.

In addition I could argue, none of them have had a run of games, but it's not a material fact.

Tella had an outstanding last season he is now in a team top of the Bundesliga and not getting any game time or a run of games to create form. In addition he has to displace in form Jeremie Frimpong, who is a Dutch international and maybe 🤔 better.

Chukwueze is in a better position but not necessarily good, he also is not getting much game time too. He has to displace Pulisic, who in my opinion is better ,more versatile with better end product.

So in this regard who is better for the SE is open to debate. In my opinion looking at Chukwueze past performances, he dribbles unnecessarily, poor crosser of the ball and his finishing is very suspect.

None of those issues that plague Chukwueze impact on Tella. I can assure he can cross the ball accurately there are basic requirements from academy football ⚽ more so in the Arsenal academy.

Most of our forwards are starved not getting good crosses. What's the point of having a " headmaster ' like V.O. and nobody can cross the ball with quality 🤔to him.

So it's time for Tella to be tried out and it's not a question of poor African football ⚽ pitches,it's about quality end product, football intelligence and work rate as well as helping the defence.

Oga, we don see this kine player multiple times before. Let us see him play in the WCQ first before even analysing if he can make the AFCON Team.

komekn:


Give me one example not two .

The basis for national team selection has always been outstanding consistent top level performance in your club and league.

With a proviso for quality of club and league, for instance, a bench warmer in Real Madrid can still be an outstanding player.

From the recent generation:
Chidera Ejuke
Emmanuel Dennis
Kelvin Akpoguma
Mikel Agu
Henry Onyekuru
I can go on and on.

What we saw before their Super Eagles invite was far from what they delivered.

Even someone like Ademola Lookman has still not lived up expectations.
I don't bring in sentiments on whether foreign or local born when I assess players. Let us see what Tella can do in the Green and white jerseys, ON AFRICAN PITCHES first before you start any comparison with Chukwueze.

komekn:


I've not seen where a player is a timid anonymous mouse 🐁 in club and league and then all of a sudden comes into the national team and becomes a lion ♌.

It doesn't work like that.

If a quality player is not performing in the national team, you have to first look at the management. It's like having Lukaku and if he doesn't score you say he is bad.

When Lukaku was having issues the Tuchel in Chelsea he was still banging goals for Belgium.

Chairman, I have seen multiple cases where a player is a Lion in his club and becomes a timid anonymous mouse in the national team.
We have been too long in this game to start jumping in excitement over any player we see in Europe. Club football is different from national team football.

Let Tella come and play on African soil, with his Nigerian team members against African oppositions before we start any comparison between him and Chukwueze.

komekn:


Is Chukwueze better than Tella , with end product and more effective in creating scoring chances ❓

Let them compete and the best players be selected on merit alone.

Coaches don't drop players like that. Let Tella come to the African Soil and prove those points in bold first before you start any comparison.

Nomyth:


It's the 89 set.

Benedict Akwuegwu and Babatjide Oguntuase.

The both look truly U 17.

Yeah thanks

Jide Oguntuase to the left and Ben Akwuegbu to the right.

I have always opined that age cheating in Nigerian football is not as widespread as people term it to be.

I know quite a fair number of some of these Youth players of the 80s and 90s. Asin i sabi Dem reach house based on say we grew up together. Many of them used their real age.

Fine a good number equally falsified their age but some of them also used their real age.

Look at that Young Benedict Akwuegbu in that pic and tell me he doesn't look less than 17.

Kog45:
Oya old boys in the house name this two young players in the picture.

CC:icon4s,,AndSunGorilla,Mujtahida,Maidobi,Idenna,Meliforme,Marjoribank

Looks like the 1985 U17 world cup winning boys.
It is only easier to identify those that progressed into the senior team. The one to the right looks like Victor Igbinoba, though.

You dey hot ooo....
