Top GK like onana

Have you guys seen the Silas Nwankwo gist?

Apparently, his current club came across a picture of him from 2015 when he played for the ESUT football team. Clearly, this is not an 18-year old, like anyone else would have pointed out

Since I came across that news, the only person that keeps coming to mind is that guy that came here to ask for help on joining the U-17 team despite being overaged.

While I understand that things are very difficult for the average Nigerian, especially as regards placement in sports, I will always insist on time.

There are truly some dreams that time will steal, and people have to be ready to accept that.

For someone so lanky, Sadiq dribbles so well. Reminds me so much of Kanu.

ChrisKels:
Has Ademola been cleared?

Come March, I want to see Ademola, Dennis, Chuks, Amoo as our options on the wing. To me, Ejuke dey play secondary school football.

PurpleHouse:
Olise would be making a great career blunder if he choses Algeria. Na him go be the receive of stones whenever the team flops. Dude is not even moslem.

The mix nor join at all.

Mujtahida:
That is the vindication of a loser. They are certain kinds of people who when they laugh after a loss, it won't hurt cos they themselves are the epitome of failure. Reminds me of one moniker here.

Olodo for class dey laugh.

nairalandankrah:
We had no Osimhen!, He would've made a huggeeee difference with his pressing

TFLASHOGEE:
I don dey jot down all of una wey dey use beer watch watch e dey show for una submission no need to ask for people wey dey use ogogoro thier submission alone don give hint as for me just give me better fried meat wey get pepper with energy drink I know fit come kill myself on top match if my team win I celebrate more if we lose I jejely go sleep

Mujtahida:
Well said. They say we played beautifully as if we were the Manchester city of Africa. It's a shame that zuchyblink continues to toot this outrageous lie.

We were simply more businesslike and direct in our play. If it looked beautiful, it was not because Eguavoen set out to play beautiful football, it simply was that fans could see the refreshing difference in the way we played.

Subzero47:
Kalu is a bigger talent than Dennis, I have no doubt about him making it in the premier league

Mujtahida:
Rohr would have defeated Egypt? Man would have capitulated from the beginning by telling the whole world that we don't have any star player in the mould of Salah. In fact, he even made that statement just before our first match against Egypt. Egypt would have been all over us like ants.

Joezinho:
Lol.. We never know boss..

Mujtahida:
My bro, hear talk. I'm surprised at the narrative here.

Abeg tell me, did we play beautiful football? The quality of football at this present afcon was so poor especially the opening games such that when Nigeria played, we played with energy and co-ordination and people were impressed. Tell me, what extraordinary thing did our players do that one can say they played beautiful football and that was what made them lose?

Wingers who couldn't cross, is that beautiful football? GK who could not command his line and be alert, was that beautiful football?

We lost and all of a sudden, there's a bawling condemnation of beautiful football. So is this real criticism or the fluff of painment?

Bottom line for me in all these talk, is that don't lose. A wise man is regarded as a fool if he loses.

Mujtahida:
This is sophistry not real argument. Did we lose because we played "fancy football"? What was beautiful about the way we played? Was that beautiful football? Was the match against Tunisia beautiful football in your eyes?

COOL10:
Funny enough, I think Egypt will win this AFCON. I want Senegal to win it but my mind keeps telling me Egypt will win

Mujtahida:
It is not our defeat that hurts. It's the manner of the defeat. First shot at Okoye in 4 games. Fiam, e don enter net.

charlesemeka85:
na this simple point u wan mk u use this fixation and other ogbonge grammar tk post am?

In summary hyping mediocrity out of favoritism and sentiment

Mujtahida:
From Sierra Leone to Comoros to Gabon to Egypt. Unfortunately Nigeria is not in the mix

Danielnino00:
Rohr that lost at home to CAR and struggled against Cape Verde and Liberia would have beaten Tunisia and Burkina Faso? Lol..
You didn't get the memo.. Rohr team was on a decline..The man was losing it!

tglobal:
Interesting perspective on Rohr's salary, opposition scouting and Ekong's contribution in the Tunisia match

Not quite. If the Eguavon is appointed coach it's going to be substantiative. He'll have to leave his role as technical director to manage the team while a new TD will be appointed. Don't forget his intervention during AFCON was interim.

andrewbaba44:
If you want to talk to peseiro directly please do

mostob:
sir, do you think Amunike will be willing to take the assistant coach role? And will it not be a case of two drivers in a boat regarding their varying football philosophy?

Eguavoen, Amuneke to takeover Super Eagles
Eguavoen gets two-year contract • Salary to be increased from N3m • NFF discards Peseiro
By Emma Jemegah

---

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has finally settled for its Technical Director, Austin Eguavoen, as the substantive coach of the Super Eagles with former international, Emmanuel Amuneke, as his assistant.

Daily Sunsports exclusively gathered that the choice of both Eguavoen and Amuneke was arrived at a meeting between the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare and officials of the NFF, yesterday, in Abuja.

According to our impeccable source, the Minister nullified the planned appointment of Portuguese Jose Peseiro and ordered the immediate draft of Eguavoen and Amuneke to the Super Eagles.

Also, the meeting agreed to give Eguavoen a two-year contract with an improvement on his salary from the present N3 million, although the source did not disclose the new salary.

The development comes after Eguavoen’s ‘impressive’ performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, where he led the Super Eagles to hundred percent performance in the group stage before crashing out in the round of 16 to Tunisia.

Already, the Nigeria Football Coaches Association (NFCA), through its president, Isah Ladan Bosso, had queried the appointment of a foreign technical adviser for the Super Eagles, stating that no foreign coach had ever won a World Cup in the history of the competition.

Bosso said with equal welfare and a good atmosphere, the Nigerian coaches can do better than their foreign counterparts because they understand the playing culture of Nigeria.

Also, scores of Nigerians, including renowned coach, Adegboye Onigbinde, had called for the retention of Eguavoen as the Super Eagles technical adviser.

Chief Onigbinde argued that if Eguavoen, with just about a month to the start of the AFCON, could come up with the performance in Cameroon, he should be encouraged to continue with the team.

Agreed without question.

My view is that every player showing outstanding performance in club and league should be invited to camp and the coaches carry out assessment and selection.

The very big question, However, can our indeginous coaches be free from vested interests , Favouritism and outright corruption. This is the big question ❓

The other problem is that outstanding performance and quality in club and league are not the pivotal and only overriding consideration.

I have been accused with the tag of promoting as some have termed it borough and init boys . The abuse and denigration of my view are well documented here. Claims of they are in low level leagues the English Championship, not good enough, not done anything, etc.

But look at our AFCON team selection, and you see blatant hypocrisy, bigotry and double standard.

komekn:
He absolutely looks the BIZNESS.

Like cat he is very very mobile, dynamics, quick to respond and he reads the game well.

Don't forget one time Africa best goalkeeper was in Israeli league for about 4/5 seasons.

I am not actually surprised he was not invited, there so MANY decisions when it comes to team selection that TOTALLY DEFY ALL RATIONAL.

Its a Naija ting
