Oremade is a poor goalie

That goal really exposed the man.

charlesemeka85:
Why on earth was ofobour not starting all this while? Same goes to makadjuola

Oforborh's touches on point. At least that's a positive. Makanjuola got skills, you begin to wonder why he didn't get to start in the previous matches.

Left the garbage on display as soon as they scored. Don't take nonsense.

Curtisaxel7:

I see new inclusions. Interesting.

sontoly:
If iwobi plays like this always, he will be a world class player, the way he passes with pinpoint accuracy is wonderful, wish he could be like this all season.

The reason I keep saying he should be played more centrally. Most preferably behind the striker. I've been saying this same thing for a very long time now.


Iwobi is not a winger!

Iwobi.

COYG!

Switzerland just dey collect players from one country to the other...if a country is not fast...she will just move in fast...look at their line up for the national team...africans,brazilians,eastern europians etc

The Unity and Progress in Diversity, obtainable in Switzerland in laudable and worthy of emulation.

Olulong:
He wasn't in thier squad for the nation's league finals which was released on Monday

So people can calm down a bit. He's not joined up with the Switzerland squad just yet. Although, the Federation may yet slack off on getting him.

So, he's not in the squad yet?

ChrisKels:
Noah Arinzechukwu Okafor when quizzed about the posibility of being an Eagle;


"The idea of playing for Nigeria is one I dream about daily. I follow the national team of Nigeria very well and a call up to any of the teams will be a dream come true for me and my family as well. Hopefully, some day my hard work would pay off"


To think that such player was overlooked for those brick layers we took to the world cup as wingers makes me wanna root out my Beretta against Aigbogun's jugulars

Wow!


That'll be a painful loss.

realpoacher:
Mali have qualified as a third best

SA seems to be on an early flight home

Mali qualify as third best? A team that is sitting pretty at 2nd place.

Are y'all certain the Noah Okafor guy wasn't contacted? Was if he declined?!

maidaboi:
the u40 team will quantify

LOL!

Mali scrape through.


Saudi Arabia 3 - 4 Mali.



South Africa asking directions to the airport by now.

hoodedjaystrim:
W are in mourning here

No o. It's not that bad. If you can get one or two of those boys who are actually good, especially in midfield, can graduate to the Senior Team then it's a plus. That's the essence of the whole thing in the first place.

FG Fulfils Pledge Of House To Westerhorf After 25 Years


The Federal Government yesterday fulfilled a 25 –year pledge to former Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles, Clemens Westerhof.

At an impressive ceremony inside the conference room of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, Abuja, the Minister, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) said the occasion was a further proof that the Buhari administration was “committed to putting right the wrongs of yesterday and redressing all forms of yesterday’s injustice”.

Westerhof, a Dutchman, was head coach of the Super Eagles’ Class of 1994 – appropriately –styled Golden Generation – that won Nigeria’s first –ever FIFA World Cup ticket, won Nigeria’s first Africa Cup of Nations title on away ground and reached the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup in USA.
“Mr. Westerhof ended our long –time search for a FIFA World Cup ticket, and afterwards went on to lead the team to Africa Cup of Nations glory. As a nation, we made promises, but there was no follow-up.

“I want the NFF to document those members of the squad that have not received their houses in the FCT as promised, and as soon as we receive this, we will respond positively. I was made aware that the promises had not been fulfilled through a letter by the assistant coach, Mr. Johannes Bonfrere, and we arranged for him to get his own in December 2017. Six months later, at the FIFA World Cup in Russia, a prominent journalist, Mr. Onochie Anibeze, brought it to my notice that the head coach, Mr. Westerhof was yet to receive his own house. We immediately initiated the process which has culminated in today’s event.


The 2nd Vice President of NFF, Mallam Shehu Dikko, who represented NFF President Amaju Pinnick at the occasion, praised the initiative of Mr. Fashola and his ministry, saying the redemption of the pledge was a positive sign to footballers and other sportsmen and women that promises would always be fulfilled, no matter how long it took. “We wll compile a list of those who have not received their houses and revert back to the Ministry”, Dikko said. An elated Westerhof, who flew into Nigeria from The Netherlands on Sunday night, said: “I am overjoyed. I want to thank the Nigerian government for this, and I want to assure you that you will now see more of me in Nigeria. “Nigeria is my second fatherland, and I am proud of what we were able to achieve with the players in those years. They were disciplined, dedicated and determined to lift Nigeria high, and we took Nigeria from 79th position to 5th in the world. I am thankful. However, I feel sad that some of my players have left us. May their souls rest in peace.” Minister Fashola afterwards presented the letter of allocation of the house to Westerhof.

I can't blame the players when the coaching is this poor.

Their industry gets them a penalty.



Modified : A VAR check overturns the decision.

What did that no 19 just do?

*FacePalm*

Still no answer tactically from the NGA team /bench.

2 - 0.

Joebie:
That Oramide is SE keeper in the making

Lol.

First Half Over.

In general, POOR TACTICS.

charlesemeka85:
The guy looked lost and confused

He may still get his acts right as the tournament progresses.

tbaba1234:
Utin is so poor.

Utin is not doing badly, IMO.

The Eagles are pummeling the US goalie from all angles now.


Excellent shooting!

The Okon who was substituted in is not doing badly.
