3weeks to afcon and our picnic never talk anything official abt rohr

he no dey go anywhere, he’ll lead the team to Afcon

solonnachi:
.He demanded more playing time from Rohr and a first team place which Rohr was reluctant to give

no reasonable coach will give in to such demand

humility33:
Finidi is doing well and some persons here want us to give the SE job to Amunike who has since fumbled with 3 coaching jobs since last manage the under 17

it’s too early to rate finidi or start talking him up for the SE job

TheLoneCitizen:
This Colombian team won promotion with this 95th minute goal.

Match-fixing at its worst.

what’s that second goal

jihday:
I don’t support this, that means players like Awoniyi Aina Sanusi Omeruo can also pull out since they aren’t sure starters. Don’t really believe news sha

Dennis already deny the report

Abuja?

zuchyblink:
selecting inexperienced players is not a problem especially when it has to do with special talents but turning the entire team to kiddies club is the problem

Ferguson won the epl with kids, what are you talking about?

AndSunGorilla:
Make he shun am joor. His team needs him a lot now. Plus no guarantee he will be a starter at the afcon. E better make he dey useful than useless.

ChrisKels:
Emeka say him no be Aribo Papa again, so right now, the only person Emeka is fathering is James Igbekeme of Real Zaragoza

I remember when they told us this guy was the next best thing after puffpuff

daveP:
That man isnt that influential in invitation list. His hands are tied, especially for this players you mentioned. I've been saying this.

this isn’t true

DrLikita12:
Salisu Yusuf was unveiled as Kano Pillars coach a few days ago.
I'm not sure if it was mentioned here

guess the option of him being interim coach of the NT is off the table

Ejuke with an assist, wonderful dazzling run

elyte89:
If I give u japping.... WC one b rohr

you dey vex o, you don’t even want to see his name. I hope there will be permanent solution next week because we have about 3 weeks before camping

nelszx:
He didn't say this so next post please

very obvious it was fabricated, his bafana who always use local players have struggled to achieve anything

zuchyblink:
Same thing I have been talking about,I don't worship these European based guys the way most people here do

whoever wrote this is heavily biased, mentioned Senegal and Algeria but comfortably forgot Cameroon who always win with their foreign based players

Representatives of French coach, Herve Reinard said he has turned down the chance to coach the Super Eagles.

humility33:
And the naughty rohr prefer play shehu and Collins instead

once collins is in an attacking position he becomes clueless, it’s absurd for any coach to prefer Collins to Aina

codemaniacs:
In English language, the term "white" is not a slur or abusive word and means something that's pure and clean while the term "black" is a slur and abusive word and means something that doesn't exist or something that's evil

So using the term "white man" is not racist... Only African Americans called themselves black before the media started trying to use on every African globally...

Most Africans will identify with their ethnicities so yes a lot of Africans will pick someone from their ethnicity first or at worse someone from their country or at worse worst a person of African descent from overseas before they pick a Whyte man..

komekn:
We are talking the SE Senior national team.

It's not a place unproven youth players like Destiny and l can't see how you can you invite Sadiq when there is a plethora of players who are well ahead of him.

who is ahead of Sadiq that haven’t been invited

kendrick9:
Dennis is Nigeria"s best striker ATM..
But no hype here probably cos he hasn't got paid hacks drumming his praise like the one in italy

you never talk the one wey dey pain you

TheGoodJoe:

I don't think he was ever going. Pinnick put that clause to secure their money no matter how things went.

there’s no clause, that 2million is just a rumor

Egypt struggling to breakdown Lebanon

scored via penalty, 1-0

Egypt struggling to breakdown Lebanon

TheGoodJoe:


Yes he did. Because the team crahsed in the AYC, it went under the radar. Keshi did.

that’s U-20 in 2001

TheGoodJoe:


Sorry U17. This is not the Ajagun that played for Obuh. This one was a Hitman. Plays as a point man. He was on the U17 team of Stephen Keshi and for reasons that can not be explained, he was left out of the starting line up. This was one reason that led to the crash of that team.

did keshi ever coach U-17?

TheGoodJoe:

That is the point. We produce stellar talents but something happens and they lose the chance to explore bigger fields. Osunwa found a balanced ground financially in Sudan and had the love there. I think he even got a citizenship. That is the point. Our players can have the talent but then hit a comfort zone, as you put not serious. Same way Okocha with all his talent was comfortable in Turkey.

he chose money over name, he was the next big thing around 2000/2001/2002

andrewbaba44:
I followed this tournament host at Finland ,Na for this tournament I take know Mikel


I think Nigeria was eliminated at group stage

na coin toss them use comot us

TheGoodJoe:

I watched that team and Mikel even showed more flair than he did in the U20 but I think Mikel had more elegance in the U20 and maturity to his game.

Either way, Eguavoen did a mean job raising that team. At that time Eguavoen was criticised of carrying babies to the U17 but it paid with time.

you are right, I remember him saying the team failed because the boys were truly young I didn’t quite understand him then because just 2 years earlier we got to the final, but I fully understand him now

TheGoodJoe:

How can you say that? How was he not special? Even when he went to Sudan, he broke records in their league. Explain how he was not special.

Sudan na league? At least he should have gone to Egypt or Tunisia, even at the turn of the millennium there were loads of Nigerian players playing in Eastern Europe and holland, if he was a serious footballer he could have towed that path

TheGoodJoe:

I watched Kelechi Osunwa's breakthrough in the golden eaglets. After the selection of the U17 team for Trinidad and Tobago, there was a frienldy for them in Calabar.

Bright Stars of Port harcourt had won a tournament in Abuja with some scintillating displays. So they were selected for a friendly.

When the game started, Calabar stood still. What happened was the unleashing of a hitman. Kelechi Osunwa who was the highest goal scorer in Abuja.

I think that match ended 4-0 and Kelechi Osunwa stole the show with a hat trick. His last goal was memorable and they had to take some Bright Stars players to camp.

I had no doubt that if Osunwa had landed that U17, he would have become a sensation. That golden boot Sinama Pongolle won was Osunwa's. Unfortunately, he was slightly over age. I think he had just turned 18 and had registered in Uniport remedial program to prepare for jam.

The media clamped hard on him and he got dropped.

Even when Musa Abdullahi became coach of Dolphins, (he was the coach of the golden Eaglets of Trinida and Tobago U17), he signed Osunwa to Dolphins and the guy netted the golden boot.

Osunwa once said, I never played in a league were I was not the top scorer. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to do it in a European club.

because he kept on playing in farmer’s leagues, is he not the guy that went to Sudan? I also think he’s the first player in the NPFL to cross the 1mill naira mark

TheGoodJoe:

I watched Ajagun's breakthrough in Shell Cup. He was the top goal scorer before the finals. In the finals, against Oinkrama grammar school, he scored a hat trick.

Even when he was in Keshi's U20, Keshi kept him on the bench for whatever reason. When we were eliminated in the first round, Keshi gave him a substitution chance to play and he played well. Had Nigerian fans shouting and capped it up with a brilliant goal.

But series of things happened like the Keshi incident, we did not get to see Ajagun shine. When Ajagun got a run in the NPFL, he claimed the golden boot. That guy was a special striker but one thing or the other, the world never got to see him in full gear.

Ajagun in Keshi’s U-20? How?

charlesemeka85:
mikel always had that elegance in his game but was restricted by Jose and Chelsea

Mike growing up was too smooth on the ball with football intelligence beyond his age

He is blessed but never reached his full potentials

Jose this Jose that, he spent almost 10 years at Chelsea and Jose was his coach for about 3 of them did he also tell other coaches not to use him in his preferred role?
