Odunayaw:
He'd be unmasked if he coaches a club

he has done it before, started well with Middlesbrough but ended up relegating them, if Tenhag don’t improve at Manutd he could be replaced by Southgate

TheGoodJoe:


"For me Rodri is the best player in the world, please give him the Ballon d'Or now," De la Fuente (Spain National Coach)

I thought I was the only one seeing it.

what do you expect his coach to say?

chrisooblog:
I remember Isaac well well he was decent in the 2002 AFCON but was seriously poor by 2004 but definitely not as bad as Furo Iyeneme till today it's still a mystery how he made it to the national team.

I’ll take Furo over him sha

chrisooblog:
Ekong wasn't really great when he started out but to his credit he worked hard and is now indispensable especially for our defense.

I feel like you people didn’t see Okoronkwo play 😭

semid4lyfe:


I agree. He's error prone, easily dribbled and get's beaten for pace often. However, he's 25 and experience has taught me not to write off any active footballer.

Case in point, is William Troost Ekong who I never rated and considered an Isaac Okoronkwo v2.0 but has now developed into a very solid defender.

Gabriel Osho could still come good with regular game time and more exposure.

No way you can compare Ekong to Isaac Okoronkwo, can’t remember Ekong being directly responsible for any goal while error full Okoronkwo body

SamueItem337:

I don’t believe PSG will sign Osimhen while both Ramos and Muani are still their players

daveP:
2m for Renard ke? Egypt too interested. Lol

fake news, Egypt appointed Hossam Hassan just 5 months ago and he has not performed badly, why would they fire him?

South American football is what people think African football is

Ppogbae:


Give us Marcelo Bielsa and this lineup will reach semifinals of 2026.

7 goals guaranteed from open play from Group Stage to Semis.

Bielsa is an overhyped coach

TheSuperNerd:
How many people picked France to win this game? Come outside and line up, let TheGoodjoe dash you all kung-fu kick while I crown it with better lobotomised shock knock.

Charlesemeka85... come outside.

Marjoribanks.... come outside.

Jihday.... come outside.

All of you... come outside.

🫣

Starboytwo:
the only thing Vinicius can do better than Neymar is "sprint" Nothing else.

If Vinicius and Bellingham are the front runners for Ballon D'or, tells you all you need about the current state of the game.

nothing wrong with Vinny or Jude winning it, I mean Figo Owen and Nedved won it in the past, they aren’t so much better

TheGoodJoe:


Roberto Carlos can hit a fantastic screamer but I have seen him cooked many times like of he can't even mark. Go watch Ronald de Boer cook him in France 98 so badly that his coach told him to stop trying.

maybe you don’t know what ‘got cooked means’

Kog45:
Christian Chuckwu with Afcon trophy in 1980….the team picture had 17 years old Henry Nwosu but Akinsanmiro and Eletu need to wait while 16 years old Lamine Yamal is doing it in Euro.

16 years old Yamal is a regular for Barcelona while Akin and Eletu are still playing youth football

TheSuperNerd:
Truly the English side have more quality than my Dutch boys but matchday will decide.

England can win it because they have the quality to. I pointed out their stardust and quality level since the first game vs Serbia. Yes they have labored and underwhelmed in games but they are now in the Semis.

But then... I think Spain can also win it. I hope they don't allow France bully them with their Physicality.

I don’t see Spain beating France sha, infact i don’t see anybody beating France, their shithousery is on another level

elyte89:



No mind d guy….he b like say him don collect bribe somewhere to make my mind unsettled…mujtahida wey don already Dey do finishing touches ,na approval we dey wait for from nff and I sign the contract 😊

😀 Dreaming no be crime my guy

do4luv14:



Suddenly na Finidi go be the yardstick,

come to the NPFL as if others where not there before, And where was him when others started theirs here

what are the others doing now? Did they forbid them from doing other work aside from super eagles job?

Daninya33:
Another gossip don land o

Another white coach wey be journey man don meet with top NFF officials o for Obodo Oyibo ( londonu) to finalise him contracti make him take over as Coach of the Super Eagles o.

owngoal are just like you and I , they don’t have any information they are just speculating

charlesemeka85:
will be a good understudy/cover to Onyedika when Ndidi retires

Also remember he is just 20

20? He’s been around for a long time I thought he’s older than 20, would be nice to have him in the squad

charlesemeka85:
Lesley Ugochukwu dropped from France Olympic football team. Time for him to consider Nigeria

not good enough for Chelsea, not good enough for France U-23 are you sure he’ll be good enough for Super eagles?

charlesemeka85:
a player like aina is even yet to recover fully from the afcon burn out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ekong just resumed training, the boy at Porto may not play again this year but our players no dey put body for ball

daveP:


You guys are getting me all wrong. Don't. I watched AFCON and saw it all. But am talking about the present setup and also a matter of sustenance of such OT. Not this off and on.

Discredit? Come off it. We just need this mentality regardless of hierarchy. Most times we see such zeal, the players do it by themselves and for themselves and history, not because the house is in order.

My other reply i had to use the siasia level because it is close to the game tonight.

The bottomline remains that attitude has been a consistent problem in the SE, regardless of manager. Ego battles and what have you.

We need it abeg. We currently lack it and we need it back if it was ever lost.

2018 WC, 2020 euro and 2022 World Cup Germany performed poorly in all 3 tournament what do you have to say about that? Or just watched one game and assume this is how they always play?

Odunayaw:
Those players who played their lives out in AFCON

Wetin una de find una go see am laslas

Nigerians will complain about anything and everything

mekabuachi:


At the end of the day you can only do this with players with zeal and passion for the game.... And from the looks of things those players lack it.

we all saw them play Afcon, what are you talking about?

Truidstarr:
😂😂😂😂A poor workman will always quarrel with his tools.

we only hear these type of stories with local coaches after they fail

typicalgamer:



Don’t let price tag fool you

there is a reason why the price tag is there, there’s a reason why Mbappe will cost between 150-200mill and Moses Simon won’t even go for 5mill

typicalgamer:


Our swimming pool of players

Folks here seem to make it sound like we’re the France 🇫🇷 of Africa

We’re not o

We have 1 world class player

Then everyone else is journey men

The sooner we see that the sooner we stop unrealistic expectations

so you think Benin and Rwanda have better players ?

Kevin Debruyne una, zero clutch

Mujtahida:

Yes it was an handball. But even though, even though

😀😀

Mujtahida:
Ojoro penalty. Denmark has played well.

well deserved pk but Denmark have been unlucky

mostob:
That's why I added Omeruo and Ekong though. I don't think Balogun would want to come back again.

he want to

Mujtahida:

He came to Nigeria for the 1999 U - 20. His name was Ronaldo then.

first time I saw him play, took a keen interest after he scored a very funny penalty against Croatia

kendrick9:
Nah you're just blinded by nostalgia.
Which is funny cause Lampard wasn't even an exciting player.😆
He got like half his goals from Pens and deflections.
Don't get me wrong Lampard was a good player, a goal scoring midfielder, but KDB is just a better footballer

disagree with the bolded but I agree that KDB is more complete
