Bluelf, I sight you!

Kog45:
I know Baba... I brought reality into your sarcasm.

Marjoribanks:
He used us to lure Canada and England! Simple!

fabyom:
AFCON, for ages, has been won on fine margins. I reiterate it has nothing to do with coaching!
I can give you numerous examples but I do not really have the time!
One example proves nothing in scholarly research!

Kog45:
Yes for the future,apart from Iorfa who need to work his socks off to get SE invitation.

fabyom:
Winning AFCON is definitely not about coaching. Any team in the top five can win it!

komekn:
Quite remarkable result today a full strength Newcastle United got beat by Sheffield Wednesday from league one.

Didn't see that coming, more interesting there are 5 Nigerian players in the Sheffield Wednesday team.

ChrisKels:
Not with the players we have currently

DrLikita12:
Happy new year! Wishing you all a prosperous 2023

Marjoribanks:
Moffi struck the post again today. Quiet unfortunate!

Bonke came on in the 32nd minutes and was the 2nd highest rated Lorient player aside the goalkeeper!

The boy don dey ball oo!

charlesemeka85:
none, our npfl defenders re miles better than them

charlesemeka85:
very very. Also Torunarigha’s case should be revisited. We need more quality centre backs playing in mainstream European leagues in the super eagles

Imagine having the luxury of below listed CBs in the current super eagles set up

Okoli- Atalanta
Adarabioyo- Fulham
Torunarigha- Gent
Bassey- Ajax
Akpoguma- Hoffenheim
Ajayi- Westbrom
Ekong- Watford
Jenz- Celtic
Uduokhai- Augsburg

Odunayaw:
And we'd be here dreaming of Tiki-taka and AFCON trophy and WC semi final

De play, jus de play

elyte89:

2026 semi final

Nigeria vs Argentina

A new Papilo is bone after final whistle

We play final vs the hot Mbappe.

6 of the XI end up in prestigious clubs in europe while one particular player replicates the Mikel Obi signature palava...........


This ayaff seen.

Icon79:
LOL. Do you wanna put your money?

It’s Argentina 2 France 1 final score.


O pari

Mujtahida:
Where Morocco reach before them reach semi? Nobody saw it coming. The thing though is that every world cup throws up a dark horse.

I have faith that naija will do it

Mujtahida:
How this Moroccan players are playing at this level with so much confidence got me wondering. They took to this level of football like duck to water.

Mujtahida:
Morocco don try but make dem settle for third place. Naija is destined to be the first African country to play WC final

codemaniacs:
the example you're giving is good but does flow with football...

In football, your main bosses are the clubs you play for... the country is secondary.. especially for those playing in europe or top 10 european leagues...

the attitude of the national team bosses should never affect how you play for the national team because you're not playing or working for the bosses in the national team..

you're playing or working for the citizens of the country which also includes your family members and not the FA of the country.

Blueelf:
A sports minoster with a good head on his shoulders

No president of Nigeria would have issues with this....

Liase with the senate and house of rep..they will jump at it because na to pad budget them like. So it's an opportunity to do more padding. The overarching goal is that coaches and players get what's due to them when it's due to them.

Simple

COOL10:
Amuneke doesn't deserve jackshittt. Neither did Rohr and Peseiro. I'm a fan of his philosophy but National Team Football is heavily result based. We need a proven winner, a consistent one; either on the local scene or international scene.

Like I said earlier, we're not ready in this country. When we're ready, we'll tell ourselves the truth and the improvement shall begin.

Blueelf:
Read we'll bro

FiFA will jot have issues with a cou try deciding how they pay salaries to coaches and players

Its the admin function that should be nff and fifa concern

charlesemeka85:
But wait oooo!

Shebi na eguavoen wey no fit see the team through to the afcon quarter finals and qualify for the world na em still be the head of nff’s technical dept?

Chai!

codemaniacs:
Our failures are linked to not picking the right players or not subbing off players and players that don't take their chances...

Moses Simon had a 1 on 1 chance against Ghana and he shot straight at the GK...

Osimhen was also struggling to stay onside throughout both legs which is something he seems to have been working on and correcting and the goal he scored was offside...

If Simon had better finishing or wasn't even picked at all we could have qualified...

if Osimhen had the intelligence in April that he currently seems to have in November to stay onside against Ghana then his goal would have counted and we would have also qualified...

In summary...
It was the Coach, Assistant coaches and coaching staff and the players themselves failed the SE... not the Administrators

Danielnino00:
Na politicians full that NFF...
On a norm, a country like Nigeria that wins international trophies at different levels almost every 2/3 years shouldn't have problem with getting funds.... mismanagement is always the problem...
