We have Blackpool captain. Our opponents are more aggressive in trying to boost their squad and it seems we are just playing safe with familiar names.

Look at our midfield also. Why are we still reluctant in calling up Alhassan Yusuf and Obinna Nwobodo?

TheLoneCitizen:
I don't really have a problem with Shehu, because Ebuehi, the only competition has not proven to be consistent at club level.

If there is a quota that calls for an ethnic balance in the Super Eagles, it makes sense that that position is used to fill it.

Seeing Shehu in the list, my conclusion is Coach no be the problem again o. Na administration. Onazi in standby is just another proof. Nigeria is finished. Russia come and help us lol

Na case of corruption. Even Lookman go don give egunje at last. Komekn come chop
.

TheLoneCitizen:
So the board went to Turkey, ignored the league's best DM in Obinna Nwobodo and went for Onazi who has made just 4 league starts all season in League 2.

Why is US not wanting to invade Nigeria?

komekn:
Tell me one free democratically governed country that the USA invaded by itself please.

to the bolded,

Na my papa house i dey

JohnBullMySon:
I don't asslick America dude.

Where were you when Taliban Afghanistan was training Al-Quieda terrorists in camps to launch attacks in the US?

Where were you when Iraq invaded Kuwait, a major US ally because of inability to repay $15billion dollar debt and jealousy over surge in oil production.

Russia has been sullen at not being able to win Ukraine over from the west, and now they think invading an innocent country is the best decision?

No need schooling me about international politics. I know who I support. Russia must pay

TheGoodJoe:

You guys are angry that VAR did not rob Manchester City. It is clear as daylight. No conclusive evidence for Handball and if it was handball, then VAR would visit Richarlison being offside. And the penalty will not stand

Finito.

I am not even impressed by his highlights..
Turkey league sef get as e be.

Mujtahida:
Nwakaeme not great abeg whether in Europe or anywhere. He's just regular as regular can be.

Poor angle on your picture. We saw various angles.
The coach suppose go look am to verify.. na partia!!!

TheGoodJoe:
Forget all these shots and look at this angle that showed when the contact with the ball happen. Look at the image for handball and see the VAR team had no conclusive evidence to rule a handball.

the ref for go check am sef

dozai:
The hand was even stretched like a wing. Pure daylight cheating. Nonsense and VAR

i fear o!!!

dozai:
Handball. How is that not a penalty??

Marvin Ekpiteta has been a super regular in the Championship and is Blackpool's captain. Scored for the team today. A Center Back and also plays RB.
So if ever we are lacking at RB, I no wan hear Shehu.

He's played for our U20s before.

is he a striker or AM?

An Attacking Midfielder. Definitely should be one of the home based called early to camp.

BascoVanVeli:

andrewbaba44:
He didn’t rejected playing at the afcon

It was before the afcon that he asked to be excused that he needed to take care of some issues

Sir please call him again and pray with him.

Icon4s:
Charles!!
What is this I am reading from you? You are contemplating on what?
What's happening? You know you can always reach out to me. Please don't do anything silly. Pretty late now. I will reach out to you early tomorrow morning.

Edited: I decided to call him even though it's late but he didn't pick. Will try him again early tomorrow morning.

@bolded a player who rejected playing for us at the AFCON to concentrate on getting his career on track.
you see, these things can befall anyone (not only "foreign borns" )

andrewbaba44:
Samuel kalu should brace up as he just signed for a championship team

You worked hard to win Aston villa away from home only to end up loosing to palace at your backyard and not getting a draw at least

Dennis can easily be watford player of the season because I believe he still has more goals to go ,but I hope he got a good agent ?

If dem offer the Warey 80k weekly he might just follow them to the championship

You are not alone.. There are countless people across the world who feel how you feel.
I pray that you receive comfort wherever you are in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ.
May the Spirit of Most High God fill you with a high sense of purpose. Going forward you will find more meaning in life.
I wish you Joy and peace my elder brother. You will have every reason to want to live to the extent that you will never stop praying for long life.

Super Falcons stuck in the Nigerian airport.
A national team.. This is a country someone should be passionate about playing for.

English Championship Player Of The Month (January) Set For Ghana Debut Vs Nigeria
Antoine Semenyo has expressed readiness to play for Ghana and could be included in the squad for next month’s 2022 World Cup play-off against Nigeria.

One thing is certain. Philip Billing is not going to this world Cup. By next WC he would be almost 30 years

If he wants to get more international caps at least, he should do the right thing and switch to Nigeria.

I just dey see the bolded. How has Onyeka proved to be better than Billing? by just being in the EPL?
This is only Onyeka's first season. Billing was more impressive in the EPL back then. And even now he is a Lion in the Championship. I hate to compare them but na u start am.

Meliforme:
Ndidi and Osimhen have been so exceptional in GWG that's the reason why i didn't place Nwakali over them.

Even for Ndidi, i will dig out posts where many on this thread have berated his quality and said he brings very little, but we see what we see. That was so funny, so funny to the point that except we pointed out his vital blocks, tackles and interceptions, they won't see those. Ndidi is the only identity the midfield has for now and that identity is a defensive identity.

Was it not on this thread that i rated Frank Onyeka of Midtjylland in Denmark over Philip Billing Anyanwu that plays in the EPL. Did you not argue me, Mr Andrew. You can still go on with the debate.

It was still on this thread that i expressed my preference for Sadiq Umar over Taiwo based on the little i saw of him against Egypt. Many came for my head for saying that, now the story has changed.

And now Nwakali.....

I am not feeling the last two names.. but the first 4 are very good CMs/DMs.

charlesemeka85:
Alhassan Yusuf

Raphael onyedika

Obinna nwobodo

Frank Onyeka who was in the team but benched because of nwakali

Bonke

Dele bashiru

Etc

lol.. na title remain

Appealing and promoting your National football team to players with multiple national choices, is not begging.

Please stop talking like a village Chief.

I agree that Pinnick should not be in London or anywhere as a matter of fact holding such talks.
We should have influential people in the UK who can do those lobbying as well as Eguavoen should be in the picture.
If people resource is what you meant, then you are so much on point.

What am I saying here? Same applies in the homefront. You should people in the right place to develop the game. A lot can be done in the home front at the same time. It is never one or the other.

Danielnino00:
You guys are being unnecessarily petty...
Going after foreign borns isn't an issue.... I don't know what angle thegoodjoe is getting at, but for me, the NFF shouldn't be spending so much resource just to convince one or two foreign born players to represent us when such resources could be channelled into developing our grassroot football back home . It appears that the NFF don't have much interest in developing our grassroot football, which is unfortunate, seeing as it has always been a source of pride for us.
See, I'm also a big basketball fan and I support our national team passionately.. The men and female team is filled 95% with foreign born players and i totally support it.. Why? because we aren't a basketball playing nation! We don't have the talent and resource for it.. But you see America, we have plenty of people there who develop the passion for the sport back there . But the same can't be said of football... The NFF shouldn't, in the in their relentless pursuit of FB players forget their primary responsibility of developing our football back home..

The problem is many Nigerians can relate to this like you just did. But they can't put themselves in their shoes for once.

M7even:
I'm Edo from my father and Yoruba from my mother. My surname might give me out. But I was born and bred in as a Yoruba boy. we only speak yoruba. I mean I could go on and on to tell you what makes me feel more Yoruba than a benin boy. Living in lagos , I've been to benin just once. It must be the same for these boys.
If You must convince them do it!
What's the pride about it? That you are asking a person to give up a fraction of what makes them and their very existence due to their parental lineage.

We have witnessed athletes who had wanted to compete for Nigeria win medals for other countries, even in team sports. so

Yes, the secret of winning the world cup, is to judge other's passion while playing for the team based on what they did or said in the past. you are dead right!

TheGoodJoe:

I repeat. I am proud of all of them. Home, abroad. I wish and pray for the best for them no hard feelings. However, I know passion plays a big part in National team football.

We need to maintain that.
