But 1998 team lost to very average Paraguay and Denmark.

Denmark wasn’t average tho

chrisooblog:
Prime Kanu that couldn't score a single goal for Nigeria in 9 senior international tournaments better than Amokachi and Siasia?

I agree that not scoring in 6 Afcons and 3 World cups is very abysmal but if you saw Kanu at Afcons 2000 and 2004 then you’ll agree that your judgment on is quite harsh

charlesemeka85:
Nigeria would hv won the 98 edition comfortably because by then players that emerged from the 96 olympic team were already balling hard in europe

Baba forget that our 98 team too good. Players like Taribo,ikpeba,kanu,jay jay,finidi,babaginda,babayaro,oliseh etc were in their peak then

That team would hv crushed Africa in that year’s afcon edition

Also mind you that in afcon 2000 edition the team lost to Cameroon 🇨🇲 in the finals due to ill luck and bonfere Joe starting Ndukwe as the teams striker who he missed loads of opportunities in the first half before scoring in the second half when the team was 2-0 down already

small correction, in that Afcon 2000 final especially that first half we were thoroughly outplayed by Cameroon, if we had someone like Uzoho/Okoye in goal, there won’t be any need for Nigeria to come out for second half

Helper1000:
oga..so why is he now underperforming?

so age is the only reason why players under perform/loose form?

Joebie:
The NFF should be serious and go for Herve Renard as soon as the this FIFA tourney is over.

with which money? Renard should leave the French NT to coach Nigeria?

Marjoribanks:
What is the meaning of rivals? Playing in the same league does not make you rivals? lol!

Fulham and Mancity are rivals

Marjoribanks:
Madrid actually wanted to sign Chukwueze but Villareal scared them away with high demand and sold him to milan half of what it quoted for Madrid. Not wanting to sell your best player to your rival. Madrid then decided to back out and go for Adler instead! Madrid and Barca fans are fuming at Villareal! lol!

lol, Madrid and Villareal aren’t rivals tho

maidaboi:

PurpleHouse:
Me I'm still fuming and muffing.

How can a top player in this day and time be 20M? Not just any player, but your top player? It isn't fair to be black sha.

Kog45:
Respect to Mike Emenalo the new Saudi Arabia league sport director.I thought Yobo was trying to work as a coach but now sport administrator.I think our ex internationals need to be focused on what they really want not just pursuing political positions that would later dent their images.

Yobo is being forced into football/sport his body language shows he’s not interested

charlesemeka85:
never said that rohr is pep or Jose but that he knows our team very well of which 90% of the current super eagles players played under him when he was in charge

That’s my only worry

Rohr won’t do anything other than park bus and look for counter, we just have to take our chances when we play them

lovewins:
No it won't be. Jay Jay will likely be a terrible administrator. Hope you're aware he was given same role in delta state at some point, story is he left cause he couldn't do the work. It's why you'll notice he has next to nothing to do with football development in whatever role but have decided to stick with brand promotion and punditry.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of ex international managing sports, but it should be those who have learnt how to and have the penchant for administration (Like Olofinjana). Alternatively, look for a CEO of any top business, or a young guy in tech known for innovation and let them handle sports.

just get a good administrator, he/she will do a fantastic job

charlesemeka85:
lol I read few minutes ago that the deal is unlikely

Milan proposed a deal with add ons worth 25m euros which hv been rejected by Villareal. The Spanish club is demanding for 30m euros but will consider a lesser bid with Adli included in the deal

Milan are already considering cheaper options

if true villareal must be drunk, a player with a year left on his current contract?

wayodude:
This thread is ruined.

it’s not, it’s the off season, no football activity, very little transfer activity for Nigerian players, so all these clowning and fooling you are seeing here is quite normal

JohnBullMySon:
He lost only one game. Where was the struggle? Friendlies?

So if you're a club owner you will sack a manager because of friendly matches?

lost one game against one of the best team in the world called Guinea-Bissau. Couldn’t even beat an Algerian second string team, lost to Algeria’s main team, lost scandalously to Portugal. We don’t have to wait till Afcon to discover that he doesn’t have what it takes to beat a very good side

JohnBullMySon:
I know exactly what I'm saying. AFCON was always the objective in his contract. Per the contract signed in 2022, he will be sacked if he fails to win AFCON or left to NFF discretion. If he won, then NFF must renew his contract. AFCON per the old calendar, was meant to conclude this month, after which the contract will be reviewed. The end of his first contract was intentionally placed just after AFCON.

However, AFCON was shifted, and this changed everything. He can't possibly be sacked because he didn't fail to win it. It was shifted. He also technically did not merit a renewal so it brought about a controversy that I'm now saying it deserves to be renewed so he can retain a chance to achieve his objective.

I don’t think he has done anything to deserve getting a renewal, struggled against decent teams, refused to address areas of need in the squad I’m not keen on the NFF retaining him

Ancelloti named as Brazil’s coach, to officially start work June 2024

Super Eagles have moved up one place to 39th in the latest FIFA World Rankings 📈

omo! This our GK short o

BascoVanVeli:
Yes the league is done. This is a tournament set up by Supersports. The teams got voted in by fans from different regions.

ok thanks

komekn:
The one difference is Fisayo has several other options but he chose a tax free 🆓 money option.

Maybe he is looking at Osayi, who several EPL clubs wanted him but he went to Turkey instead 🦃, now more EPL clubs want him. Not an option I would have advised.

Apart from Tottenham, Brentford, Bournemouth, etc .

true, clubs like both Madrid, Barca and city wanted Onyekuru but he chose Turkey because of higher salary with low/no tax 🤡

BascoVanVeli:
Rivers United vs Bendel Insurance highlights

Beautiful football with Beautiful goals

hello bro, what is this super 8 again? I thought the league have been concluded

komekn:
First of all it's not a big move.

It's a money NOW move not LATER with the hope he will do so well a bigger club, will come in for him.

see as you dey do

TheLoneCitizen:
Now way CSKA will release him. 2 years left.

But the club and fans don't want him to wear the shirt again, while Ejuke is apprehensive about returning to Russia.

he had a poor time in Germany too

andrewbaba44:

TheSuperNerd:
If you were a coach, what would be your choice?

This is a Tough one. A really tough one. Lol.... except to very few 😄

start Eto bench Salah throw drogba away

lbrichman2:
It's also why they are signing long term deals
4/5 yrs of "guaranteed" income atleast

if they are truly 19-20 they are supposed to sign a 1 year deal? Which club does that? Sign a 22 years old to a 1-2 years deal. You people are very funny

typicalgamer:
The truth nobody wants to hear

what makes it true? We’ve seen European players that are yet to hit their peak years going to Saudi for money why is it that when a Nigerian does same it suddenly becomes about age?

Super eagles
