The super falcons have advanced to the next round of the AWCON qualifiers, but their performance today left much to desire...
If they continue,they may not make it to the AWCON...

This Pinnick guy is a big time clown... imagine appointing a college coach to lead the super falcons!!
I seriously can't wait to see his administration come to an end...

there are strong rumors that he’s eyeing a third term

andrewbaba44:
Onuachu cannot be dropped

Awoniyi played against CAR and onuachu didn’t even play so what are you saying

Be bold enough to say onuachu should be dropped for sadiq

onuachu was injured during last international break

Kelechi starts

Joezinho:
Yes i know you have always defended Dennis and some other nigerian players plying their trades overseas.

Osimhen is a good player but i can't love him more than awoniyi or nacho or Dennis.. And the constant comparison to other world class players is just sickening and it makes me think some of these dudes here are just paid hypemen.

Allow the young man develop . You don't hype greatness. It's there for the world to see. Cavannaro and Gattuso said something about Osimhen and they brag about it?

Do they really wanna see what the likes of pele and other greats said about other players ? Funny dudes.

if you’ve been following football long enough you’ll know this is very normal, at a time Kanu was our poster boy, used to be iheanacho. In the late 90s early 2000s Raul used to be Spain poster boy even though they had Morientes Guti and the likes. So there’s nothing weird about it, if another player come and play like he’s got real potential we’ll hype him.

Dennis goal vs Everton....

sweet goal, but that defender dey run for slow motion

elyte89:
Bro..do u av an idea where babatunde Michael is?..d guy dt played no10 position for us under keshi @ 2014 world cup?

club-less I think

TFLASHOGEE:
bro akpeyi has given us his best like dude just come to the team to warm the bench me and you know that he his not gonna fight for the first or second spot he his cool with the third choice and won't probably have any motivation to up his game but osigwe you can go check him out dude is better than uzoho and will give okoye a run for his money in the team.

3rd choice GK barely have the chance to play unless the top 2 suffer injuries or a very terrible loss of form. As long as Akpeyi is comfortable being a reserve GK I don’t think there will be any need for a replacement

ChrisKels:
As much as I love Onuachu, I think it is time to try other strikers to see who nicks that third striker choice spot. Onuachu is doing well at Genk same as Awoniyi and Sadiq for their respective club sides but, I would rest Onuachu for now to see what those other two can bring to the team. Onuachu is a good striker but he is static compared to these two

Mind you, I was the first person who started championing for Onuachu's call up back when he was at Mitjyland, especially after that goal against Manchester United, so your hater mantra is already dead on arrival

Awo looked promising against CAR

Danielnino00:
Meanwhile, December 27th is the date clubs are supposed to release their players for AFCON..
The tournament starts on January 9th... that means there's 2 weeks for teams to prepare..



Meanwhile, we should brace ourselves of the possible injuries that will befall African players in the weeks leading to the start of the tournament .. A lot of clubs will do anything to keep their star players away from the tournament.

don’t think this will be possible, because National teams have the option of ordering such players to camp so they can do their own assessment

Napoleon55:
I always wonder y,

in other countries,u would c several strikers scoring over 50 goals,
But in nigeria ,our greatest players like kanu and okocha don't have up to 20 goals each to their credits.

you can count with your fingers eagles that were consistent for 10 years or more

Kog45:
Andrew even Kanu Nwankwo with 86 appearances scored just12 goals.

legend in the mud

VillageBus:
that guy is Fred version 2, he hardly win any duel he engages in. He was piss poor in the 30mins+ I watched.

according to SofaScore he was the worst player on the pitch and was taken off around 60min

kingphilip:
I am thinking we should explore the option of playing those beatable European countries above us to go up in subsequently international break where it is possible to include a friendly.

no chance for that now, till maybe after World Cup qualifiers

12large1:
Shut up ya mouth. We had 2 local coaches before him that committed a football abomination and if Rohr has nothing, I feel sorry for our local coaches

wahala for who dey take Nosa Igiebor serious

Iheanacho will partner Daka in today’s Europa league game

The player you least liked playing against?

Thierry Henry: “I’ll go back in the days, Taribo West.”

Jamie Carragher: “Nigeria. Inter Milan.”

Henry: “At AJ Auxerre.Because they were man-marking, he was following you everywhere, even in the dressing room.”

Lukaku is better than drogba

using goals as a metric, yes

Joezinho:
Exactly bro. That's the point we are tryna make..

We love osimhen. We all want him to succeed but the overhype is unnecessary.

Osimhen is better than Lukaku

Danielnino00:
Pep and Klopp are two of the best managers of the modern football era...They both have two strikers who aren't in anyway renowned for their goalscoring exploit,but are efficient hard workers in their team..
Would you say Pep and Klopp are stupid or ignorant for not preferring to have centre forward whose only attribute is goalscoring?

Pep wanted Kane tho

AndSunGorilla:
Great step by Finidi not to stay idle. Sir, my question is, what is Amunike doing not to stay idle now? Thank you sir.

waiting for koeman to be fired so he can get the Barca job

Danielnino00:
Junior Lokosa is back to the NPFL with Kwara United....

some sport analysts were angry this guy didn’t make it to the World Cup. SMH

Joezinho:
What kinda biased analysis is this? I am not sure you watched that game..
Adeleye and James committed school boys errors and Adeleye was even lucky not to get a yellow card for his erronous tackle on messi..

FYI, before you spew another word, i am not a fan of messi.

just Nigerians being emotional, if the fouls were committed at the other end nobody will say undeserved penalty

Rohr Intensifies Search For New Number 10 For Super Eagles, Targets Russia Based Anjorin

The quest to have a playmaker for the senior national team of Nigeria has pushed coach of the team Gernot Rohr all the way to Russia to make quick checks on former Chelsea teen midfielder Faustino Anjorin.

Anjorin now plays in Russia for Lokomotiv Moscow after failing to stamp his authority in the first team of Chelsea since making his European debut in the Champions League against Russian side Krasnodar in 2020.

His first involvement with the first team of Chelsea came in 2019 when he played in the Carabao Cup against Grimsby Town. So highly rated is he that he has played for England at every junior level up to U19.

A senior team bow doesn’t look certain for the 19 year old instead it is Nigeria who are now keen on having him in their squad where a playmaker is badly needed as the Super Eagles shape up for the business end of the World Cup qualifiers.

He is eligible for Nigeria through his father who has taken a step further by introducing his son to some officials of the Nigerian team putting him on the radar of Rohr, who is keen on having more options in midfield.

It’s still very early to say he is having a good season in Russia but he has so far played in six games this season with four coming in the league and two in the Europa League, where he scored on his debut.

I don’t believe this jare, Rohr have never been eager to get a new number 10. When he was eager for a new keeper we saw how he went after Uzoho and okoye

Kog45:
Samson Siasia first eagles job was a rescue one after Austin Eguavoen failed and second eagles job too was also a rescue one after Sunday Oliseh lost control of the team.

Siasia was never appointed as substantial eagles coach but always call to save already sinking team.

errrm, the first one wasn’t exactly a sinking ship, eguavoen left at 2 games 3 points

TheGoodJoe:
Did he tell you he will not get a job? I am telling you Finidi George is bigger than Enyimba. Steve Cooper gets to coach Swansea, when a top grade coach like Finidi gets to coach Enyimba.

You think they can't get local jobs? They can do that. Enyimba is not where Finidi should be.

Finidi will definitely be a better tactician than Rhor but he gets to coach Enyimba, while Rhor coaches Super Eagles.

lol

chrisooblog:
That one na normal thing

Bonfere they gave danfo to use as team bus.

Siasia his team arrived on match day to play a competition, no funds minister even accused him of being a kidnapper

Amodu nko, Oliseh nko, late Keshi sef

Every coach has been sabotaged in one way or the other

exactly, you can’t even use NFF rubbish treatment to defend a coach because other coaches had it worst but still succeeded

TheGoodJoe:

Does not change Amunike's impact.

None of the coaches were sabotaged like Amunike's team. Not even Siasia.

Do you know what it means to go to a world cup without kits?

Embassy had to buy clothes to wear. This was not just food.

They won the world cup and got only N20,000 each.

And the suffering continued in their U17.

You can pretend but Amunike deserves respect.

was so bad that Sia1 had to go beg his state Governor the late DSP alams who gave them 7mill, even that money the NFF still claimed he should give it to them. You can’t use poverty story to defend amunike because all our youth teams experienced it

TheGoodJoe:

Siasia would not deliver if dump on a swampy pitch because his game is strictly on expansive passing football. It is not magic. Even Guardiola will suffer. That is why when Barcelona was to play Real Madrid when Mourinho was manager, he told the grounds man not to cut the grass for two weeks and Barcelona lost.

story, the swampy pitch affected both teams

TheGoodJoe:

You are just writing story.

If you want insight I will give you.

I will use Van Gaal to explain. It is about values. Van Gaal coached AZ to 13th position in the season and the club sacked him. The fans, being tactically saavy protested and asked for his reinstatement.

The club bent to the fans call because the fans saw progress and reemployed Van Gaal. The next season, the magical happened Van Gaal won the league with AZ.

Preliminary results is not the thing but over time you can tell.

Gavi alone will tell you something. The youngest player to play for Spanish national team. A team that has boasted of youngsters like Pique, Fabregas, David Silva, Thiago Alcantara, Isco, Portillo, Xavi, Iniesta etc.

Yet this young boy is not just the youngest but is so brilliant for the team.

If you think, you will know that this man they call Koeman is special.

Not just to shout results. After this international break, I have made up my mind to take time and watch him closely.

My critique of Rohr is that after time, no pattern with the team. It won't happen under Amunike.

go to viewing center and tell this story to Barca fans while Bayern is knacking them 5 if them no go pursue you comot

TheGoodJoe:

Amunike being a key part of 2013, and then delivering in 2015 was a fluke despite the sabotage. LOL.

every single Nigerian coach have always been sabotaged

Napoleon55:
CV don't do the real coaching job

lol, go and tell that to Mourinho. Cv means what have you achieved with your coaching

TheGoodJoe:

Amunike was sabotaged all through. It is people that don't go into the details that will scream did not qualify. Amunike went through hell from U17 to U20. Being owed, no welfare for players etc.

He built the team for years on a passing football ground and then the NFF took them to a poor pitch during the rainy season to sabotage him.

So people like you can write he did not qualify.

Those who knows the impact of that man will not talk like this. That team played over 50 games, almost winning all and lost won. Leave Amunike is too much whether you like it or not.

Siasia saw the Devil with our youth teams but he always delivered. All those ones are excuses. No Nigerian team coach whether male or female have ever had it easy
