One thing that surprises me with Nigerians is that they will support a particular person as most of them insisted on Eguavon as coach even after afcon 2021. If you give reasons why it shouldn't be their popular choice they will call you names and insult you. Afterwards the same Nigerians will be the ones condemning the same person they supported when the person fails. We see this in football (i.e coach), politics( presidential candidate), etc the most vocal yet sentimental people on earth. The people really deserve the leaders they get They seem to think emotionally and not logically |
Let me make another whining prediction..,all african teams are going to be eliminated in the first round of the world cup,maybe except morroco |
Why should eguavonnbe allowed to go back to the position of technical advisor after taking a critical task of qualifying Nigeria to the world cup which he wasn't competent for? Amaju Pinnick has been around too long I think he should give others the opportunity to prove themselves Cameroun appointed a distinguished ex footballer as their soccer federation chairman, I don't know which club ipinnick played for in the past |
yinkeys:Nice input, trend analysis |
Like I earlier asked before the match, why can't Nigeria also sign a coach with top coaching exposure on the top 5 league or a technical director of such capacity? Is it a question of money? Enough with all this mediocre coaches. What you put in determines what you get out. |
Ghana is the weakest team in the qualifiers. They only won because of a very bad coach in Eguavon. They won't qualify from the first round of the world cup. |
I'm surprise that a former footballer like eguavon will be totally clueless tactically about football |
Odunayaw:The nagging underaged wife is your type i.e someone that lacks the maturity and manliness to accept being wrong or short sighted. |
Odunayaw:You are a loser. Nigeria lost. The results speak against your reasoning. Dwell in your disappointmemt |
Odunayaw:This guy has the same unrealistic and sentiment laden mentality as the Nigerian football adminstrators including Eguavon. If he were to be a sports analyst who would be misleading peope |
Odunayaw:You don't know the definition of whining. I'm a realist I predicted the outcome of the match. You are living in fools paradise. Your iq is too low to understand football. The outcome is suggestive of who the real intelligent person is between I and you. |
Moses Simon isn't a good player, too predictable, holds on too much to the ball. Lookman who won us the penalty was far better than Simon, but he was substituted for Simon early into the second half. Akinkunmi amoo was never introduced to beef up the midfield bit at a time he played Sadiq, Musa, igalo and osimhem together, who will pass the ball to them? |
Odunayaw:It is people with similar mentality and iq like you that are response for the disgrace Nigeria has suffered today. You are an illusionist. You dwell on things and hopes that will never happen that don't exist. You lack the ability to logically think and see the end from the beginning. You lack the ability to see the big picture. Complex analysis is beyond your intellectual ability. It is better to be a whining woman who's whining came to past, than to be a day dreamer living on a fools paradise, whose Illogical optimism never materialised. Nigerian coach is clueless. Ghana has a far superior coaching crew and more expensive one, we have no midfield. If you feel that by packing attackers with no creative midfielder is the way to go, then you know nothing about football. Ghana is the weakest team in the playoffs, they haven't won their last 6 matches and will crash out at the first round of the world cup. I'm a realist, Nigeria wasn't prepared to qualify. Why deceive myself. Did Nigeria eventually qualify? It's like a student who doesn't prepare for an exam and yet is hopeful to outperform those doing due diligence |
All we needed to do was to win at home but we couldn't. Eguavon should update himself with coaching courses |
Where are all those people as clueless as the Eguavon that were calling me a whining woman? Have you seen the outcome? All my analysis came to light. No creative midfield, tactless coach, he killed the game in the second half by substituting adbulahi for onyeka who was the engine room of the first half. So Ghana won. The better coach won. Those that said talent will take the day, go and learn more about modern football. The nff killed Nigeria for handling the responsibility of qualifying Nigeria to the world cup to a low profile coach like eguavon. Ghana spent more money to bring experienced coaching crew. Well done Ghana. |
Why did they invite akinkunmi amoo if they weren't going to use by him? Not ready to take risk? |
jasena:Are people just beginning to realize that eguavon isn't the right coach to lead Nigeria to the world cup? |
13large:It would have been better foe these two teams to forfeit the world cup slot at stake and allow both Egypt and Senegal to represent Africa in their place |
When I, being a realist highlighted the shortcomings of this Nigerian team and the coach, some people called me a whining woman though I empathize with their next to zero knowledge of football. Some said we have a very powerful team and called names like osimhem, Dennis,lookman, Simon , iheanacho etc. But we all know that the better team on the night was Ghana despite being in the lowest period in their football history. Even if we manage to qualify is this the contingent that we will parade at the world cup? Now Ghana is going into return match with the possibility of exploiting the away goal rule to their advantage.GFood luck Eguavon super eagles. Like I predicted the midfield was dominated by Ghana |
forgiveness:Football administrators in the country are not after the team's success, they are after their personal interest and force players on the coaches. This isn't the best team selection Nigeria can produce |
Philosopher1979:Thank you bro. That's a technical outlook on your part. Amunike is far tactically superior to eguavon. Eguavon is clueless. His selection isn't the best Nigeria could have come up with |
I prefer osimhem to igalo |
Joebie: |
When emotions are high logic is low- from my understanding of football, the midfield is the engine room in a football pitch. Some people are calling out the names of strikers most of whom participated in the qualifiers. As a Nigerian I wish us well . I hope we perform excellently and go on to shock the world at the world cup, I see Nigeria playing in the finals of the world cup. This is the best possible selection Nigeria could have and best Nigerian team ever. Good job to our football administrators. Ghana is one of the weakest team in Africa now. We got to make a statement by thrashing them |
ChrisKels:Mensurating? You are the best definition of an slowpoke. You are mentally below the age of 5. Your deficient intellect cannot stand objective analysis devoid of insults and fails to separate facts from fiction. The objective is to go to the world cup and do well not just to hoist the national flag. Nigeria with all its great players and team has never gone beyond the 2nd round it's a FACT. If you can't handle the truth go to a psychiatric hospital. Even though they are facing challenges now, Ghana has been to the quarter final and was just a penalty away from the semi finals. A man should be mature enough to look facts in the face and make objective as against subjective reactions. That being said let me agree with you that Nigeria has the most balanced and complete team in Africa ahead of the world cup playoffs, we have the most in-form players as selected by our veteran coach. We are going to take the world by storm come the world cup. Does that satisfy your demented state of being? |
TheGoodJoe:Bro that guy llke few others is not mature enough to be in an open forum. Thank you for rebuking him, it's not in my character to talk to fools like him |
The midfield was already weak with the absence of a creative midfielder which Ndidi doubled as both a defensive midfielder and a creative midfielder in the last afcon,. Now Ndidi is out. Check out any cup wining team they need a creative midfielder, they need someone like Luka modric, the reason Spain won the world cup and euro back then was the midfield. They didn't have outstanding strikers but with xavi and iniesta in the centre it was hard for the opponents to gain meaningful possession. Eguavon should look for a creative midfielder, when we won the afcon in 2013 Mikel made more decisive passes than any other player in that afcon edition. He was the livewire spearheading the attackers with incisive passes. We need a player like that, The absence of a creative midfielder was why we couldn't equalise against Tunisia, and eguavon tried to bring in Iwobi to fill that gap but he should have had planned his team around a playmaker from the onset and now we still lack one |
Do you know that Ghana is ranked as slight favourites to win the first leg of the playoffs. I looked at our defense line and all I could see is mediocrity. None of the defenders have played active football in the last 2months for their club sides except Calvin bassey (who would most likely would be benched), and Sanusi. Are players like abdullahi shehu, balogun, ekong, with unfit omeruoand match rusty etebo the most in-form footballers Nigeria can come up with? Now the only player close to world class in our squad Ndidi is out. I hope people won't be disappointed after the game |
I just found out that Ghanaian coach addo Iwas a former assistant coach of Hamburg and borrusia Dortmund, now teaming up with Chris hughton to try to secure Ghana's ticket to the world cup. Somehow, I feel this match will be decided more by the tactical experience of the coaching crew than on the talents on the pitch. But I which clueless eguavaon good luck |
benji93:Okay I agree with you on the issue of world class, he isn't world class but you'll agree that he is far above eguavon. |

benji93:https://www.eyefootball.com/mobile/34901/Chris-Hughton-Englands-underrated-coaches.html You can see that in this article Chris is described as one of the most underrated coaches in England. The Ghanaian FA were in search if a top class coach that could inspire confidence and respect from their players and rebuild the team, that's why they involved Chris hughton. It shows you how much they want to be at the world cup. I may not know the standards that define a world class coach but would you say that one of the most underrated coaches in England is not world class? Do you think Eguavon will ever be considered or dream of coaching in the top 5 league? |
Fixed
. I am not sure how the 'underrated' title can be scaled generally unless you are talking about world-class players/coaches. 'underrated' is definitely different from 'world-class', even though you could discuss underratedness amongst world-class players.
