Napoli Na very useless club

Subzero47:
Lobotka, Rhamani, Elmas this man just goes to underprivileged countries and gets above average players for pennies

Well shows the level of the Serie A that they are even competing for the league

jasena:
If Umar Sadiq was given the starting position in place of oshimem he would have converted atkeast one of the chances oshimem had. Non of his attempted bicycle kicks were on target.

M7even:
Is it true Amaju Pinnick has agreed to step down as NFF president? Well if true, I'd say his effort and love for the Eagles during his time have been average. But it's even more appreciated that he has set a new benchmark to step down which is unlike many public officials in Nigeria. However his decision to step down is hinged on family reason and not because he considers his failures as president of the football federation a justification to do so. However we are grateful for his time managing football affairs in the country. My grouse with him is not about the national team. But rather the cadet teams. Whatever success we enjoyed in 2015 under 17 World Cup were less of his effort. I hope whoever steps in can at least help with out under 17 team. If that's the only World Cup I'd enjoy Nigeria winning let it always continue to be so.

I am sorry, but what is the job of a pundit? No be to criticize? Before the fact ooo, after the fact ooo. As long as dem no insult your mama, papa or mock your disability. Besides this is coming from someone who has seen it all.

Besides people today no really understand when to use some of these words. Person wey dem know well well for bicycle kick dey tell you say, dem no dey do bicycle kick, you still get mouth dey talk. Shame no even dey catch you to talk say, en i go continue dey do am. How many bicycle kicks you don score? I no blame am sha. Na Oshoala be the real Agbaiya. Na she cause am.

If world-class is a journey of 10 years, Osimhen still dey him sixth year, and i am being very generous here.

comodo:
Haaland her badland there, did he qualify Norway to world cup With all his magic boot etc. We should stop running away from the fact that the coach messed up the team. Osihmen was running because they were just lobbing balls to him from defense. Even his club coach the other time said that they need to curtail his runs. That it will help him to score more goals. But in SE it's boom to Osihmen and insha Allah.

San2ski:
So did Adebayo

Did it make them better players than Okocha and Amokachi?

5inchdick:
He had a Ghanaian player just behind him. if that ball had gone in, everyone would be singing a different song.

comodo:
Those that have not played the game always think that it's easy. You only need a fraction of a second to think. Some times u don't even think, At that moment I don't think Osihmen has option, unless he wants to give a headed pass. But to who. Inside a crowded penalty box. He can't even try to drop it down to shoot.

aribisala0:
Many of these kids do not realize how great our 1994 team was.

To be ranked number 5 in FIFA rankings is not a joke

San2ski:
Ikpeba wasn't a constant in that team so one should be forgiven if he was forgotten.
His major exploits were in Monaco. He was no Rashidi nor Amokachi nor Okechukwu. He was another passenger in that team

aribisala0:
Yes what is outstanding about 10 goals. First you lied he had the all time record. At 20 games Yekinii had scored 20 goals

It was because of the likes of Yekini that that the likes of Osimhen are now playing in Europe.
When Yekini was 23 No Nigerians apart from those born in Europe were playing in Europe
Many of you young folk think football started when you were born
Playing in Europe just means you get more money . There have always been immigration restrictions on Africans and other foreigners. How good are the English players playing in the Premiership? It is not by being in Europe
Playing in Europe is not a sign that you are good or better than those that are not.
Many good players in South America never make their way to Europe.
When Nigeria was ranked number 5 in FIFA ranking Amunike was playing at Zamalek and all the other players were not playing in Major clubs

When Egypt was dominating African football a few years ago they did it with home based players
Kanu is a very different type of player from Osimhen

Osimhen is a 9 and Yekini was a 9 so that is the direct comparison to make.

We are talking of National football and achievements

Osimhen does not have any achievement to point to that is the reality

You should be comparing Osimhen with Musa and Ighalo

Karlovych:
Norway is a useless footballing country, They haven't qualified for any meaningful competition since Haaland was born.
Not even John Carew could do the magic in his prime.

Osimhen at 23 shouldn't be responding to all things he reads about himself on social media.

andrewbaba44:
Dem criticize osimhen e no make sense

Dem criticize ighalo ,Na normal thing

drDoom3:
That is my issue with Eguavoen and co.

Forget name, Otto Addo was born and bred in Germany. He understands and implements the modern game. Guy came in and got Ghana up to shape in days. Eguavoen has been with this team since December last year and they are still struggling to link up and find each other on the pitch.

I said it before, we do not play as a team and it will haunt us. We rely too much on individual talents: what Osimhen can do, what Simon can do etc. instead of what the overarching team can do in unison.

Our next coach must prioritize making us press, pass and create chances as a unit rather than just throwing big names around.

PS: Osimhen I saw today is not worth 50 million pounds, let alone 100 million. All na hype. There was a ball he got on the right wing that he crossed to the skies, those attempted bicycle kicks could have been controlled and placed, poor offside awareness multiple times in the game etc. He has heart but his decision making is so poor to be worth that much. He can use that gra-gra to boss Serie A but when he goes to bigger leagues like the Champions League and EPL he will be badly exposed.

DanOKC:
Italy grooming Caleb okoli, look at him in the heart of defense for there U21.

When he matures up, NFF will start wana- about, snapping pictures around.



Useless team, ure losing and playing like that, even teams winning don't play like that.

Our international break don end, when league start back, hyping and over hyping go start again. Monster machine and all other rubbish names, your side needs a goal and you're waiting for a ghanain player to come so that you will dribble.

Icon79:
I don’t have any problems with sacking Rohr. I called for the last World Cup. My angst is the timing!

And by the way, Cameron just broke Algeria’s hearts.
That’s the spirit. That’s how great team fights. Out Super Eagles team lacks any fighting spirit in them.


O pari

On what basis should he had been sacked after that World Cup? For losing to 2 superior teams?

JohnBullMySon:
Free Osimhen from this. How many chances was he fed with? Ghana in their aggressive style conceded over 20 freekicks in their half. We never made them pay for one. Not one proper cross.

Lookman was delivering decent crosses yet got yanked off for Moses Simon to deliver set piece disasters. We know Osimhen is dangerous in the box. Why not practice feeding him with pinpoint crosses??

Capernum:
Now, imagine Osimen with a very good coach. That guy deserve to be at the world cup. Just that we don't have a coach sound enough to utilize him

Icon79:
Which chances did Osihmen missed?

Listen, we didn’t create even one clear cut chance over the two legs. Victor buried the only chance he had but unfortunately he was offside.

We played without a system, hence we couldn’t create chances. Pumping high balls into the box isn’t creating chances. Our problem in these two games was 100% tactical.

Joezinho:
Everyone except osimhen.
Osimhen goes close
Monster machine.
Weapon of massive destruction. Blah blahhh

Dude needs to learn how to play intelligent football!!! All brawns and no brains..

Icon79:
Like I posted on Twitter:

100 percent of the blame should go to @PinnickAmaju and @thenff. You don’t fire your coach 6 months before your biggest tournament and your biggest qualifying games. That’s sheer madness. Let’s hope some folks will have the decency to resign!


O pari

PDPGuy:
Well, that was totally disheartening!

Everyone from Coach Eguavoen down to the players (except Osimhen) are to blame for this failure. Our midfielder's lack of confidence in threading forward passes was a big part in this debacle as well.

Anyways, we can all watch and cheer an actual good team - D'Tigress - at their women's basketball world cup in September..

leathalbeast:
So all the noise about emmanuel dennis and 4-3-3 formation..... Is this all they can do ?
