In his playing days, they put not one man on him, not two, not three... because they knew what he was capable of regardless of what he did eventually. When players over the world give you that kind of respect it says a lot. this is why I respect this guy despite he didn't achieve a lot in the game. Even the greats recognize his talents.

so you mean 10 years from now those are the records we are going to be talking about?

If Rohr did his homework well we would have beaten Argentina. He didn't.

Curtisaxel7:
Lol. He beat Algeria and the Afcon defending champs Cameroun in WC qualification, don't you think that's something worth lauding?

And at the WC, remember we were only less than 8 minutes away from qualifying from a group that had CROATIA (eventual finalists) as well as the Messi-led Argentina. It definitely took more than man management and "getting players to switch" to achieve this.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 6:57pm On May 27, 2020
Very true.. I got fooled until after the first game at the WC.

But I disagree that he built the team from scratch. I won't give him any credits besides his man management and getting some good players to switch.
Curtisaxel7:
Chai. Gernot Rohr really deal with us that year with his plethora of excuses and "mind games". Before every game Baba must first hype our opponents and warn us to reduce our expectations grin. At a point we started to believe that the "my team is young" talk na just a ploy to get our opponents off guard, we no know say Baba really mean am.

I remember after our disastrous friendly match with England when people believed Rohr was "playing mind games" and "hiding his real WC tactics". grin.... well we went to the WC and the rest they say is history.

The truth is Rohr inherited a team in shambles and had to build a team virtually from scratch with young inexperienced (some say average grin) players. I honestly believe Rohr has over performed with the caliber of players available for him. Sometimes out of patriotic sentiment we tend to overrate our players, but if we take a hard unbiased look at the team Rohr has had at his disposal and the results he has achieved with them, we would respect the tactical genius of the diminutive German wizard.

Gernot Rohr's football may not be pretty, but he sure gets his results. The NFF has made the perfect choice, we can only go up from here.

And what if he bows out again in the first round of the WC? that would be lower than Keshi and Westerhof's achievement after spending over 6 years? that bar low abeg
ChrisKels:
E no low oo, my conditions to keep his are two.

1 - AFCON gold

2 - Convincingly qualifying for the WC

He must meet up with those two, not one out of the two
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 5:51pm On May 27, 2020

He has CONVINCINGLY qualified us once for the WC. So nothing new there after spending an additional 2 years or so. Your bar low well well. 6 years to win AFCON only?

ChrisKels:
Failure to deliver a gold at the AFCON, and convincingly qualifying for the world cup, should warrant a boot, he's been here for too long

I wonder what Yobo is capable of learning under Rohr? I think 6 years is enough for Rohr to prove himself beyond doubt. By then he would have quality players that have also played together for quite a while. If he does well, I don't mind him staying. I'm not even raising the bar too high. Just do better than any coach has done, because he has been given the most support. Give us at LEAST a QF appearance.

I went back to check the post and also noticed the generalization, that's why on my last post to komekn, I withdrew the generalization, because I realized it was in bad taste.

Till today, when I think back on that post, I don't feel good about it. I am an overthinker, overworrier and over-explainer, I don't know how to turn it off.

Anyway, I apologize to you and any other Diasporan for that post, it was not my intention to demonize everyone.

He should remain even if we don't win the Nations Cup, but if he no take us to QF at least for WC, bye byee o.
But come to think of it Rohr will already have spent more than 6 years at the job... the longest a coach has stayed at the job since Westerhof I believe.

Maybe you wish to be obsequious as you bend over to sing praise, your appreciation of intellect, I guess is a reflection of your own level.

In order to appreciate intellect you must have some, in this regard define "character assassination" according to you and how I have assassinated her character. But in case you do not know FYI , Character assassination is a deliberate and sustained effort to damage the reputation or credibility of an individual.

Your Queen made an all encompassing negative unfounded proposition about all Nigerians in the diaspora founded on essentially nothing beyond the superficial. And i questioned it.

You also have made these spurious unfounded sentiment based assumptions.

I challenged you before you went missing and i give you the same challenge i gave Safarigirl, present one not two just one post where i have with unbridled prejudice denigrated a Nigerian home grown player

I don’t see how the duration of time you know someone should determine if or not or the extent at which you help someone. There is no law to this things. People change environment and circumstances also change. People even change. Sometimes the friends you know go shook hand for your eye, Family sef. Help who u want to help. It’s up to them to appreciate it, but u don’t owe them.

Achara made the official MLS team of the week before the league was halted.

Toronto FC rookie forward Achara thinking of family back home in Nigeria
May 22, 2020

TORONTO — You could forgive Toronto FC rookie Ifunanyachi Achara if he thought “Why me?”

When the 16-year-old Achara came to the U.S. from Nigeria in 2014 to attend Berkshire High School in Massachusetts, he had to undergo a one-month quarantine because of concerns over Ebola. He had flown out of Lagos where cases had been reported.

Fast forward six years and Achara found himself in COVID-19 lockdown just days after celebrating scoring the winning goal in his pro debut March 7.

The young forward is not thinking of himself these days, however. While he misses soccer, he knows there’s more at stake.

“You just have to understand this is bigger than all of us,” he said.

He’s just grateful he got the opportunity to earn an MLS contract and make Toronto’s first team.

Achara’s thoughts are for his family and others back home in Enugu, where his father runs a small retail store.

One brother and sister are back in Nigeria. A younger brother, Ugo Achara Jr., is a sophomore forward at Northwestern University and is weathering the pandemic with a friend in Chicago.


Nigeria, a country of some 214 million located off the Gulf of Guinea in west Africa, had just over 7,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 211 deaths as of Friday, according to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. Enugu state had 16 confirmed cases and no deaths.

Achara wonders about the numbers, questioning how much testing is being done in his home country.

“There’s concern,” said Achara, noting Nigeria lifted its lockdown after just two weeks. “I’m worried about the virus and stuff because I feel like maybe it’s spreading and they’re not paying attention as much as they should.”

He’s worried about Nigeria’s health-care system — and his family.

“I think my family, they’re taking it seriously. I hope they are. I mean they told me they are, so I believe them.”

His father is seen as an essential worker so his store remains open.

“I told him ‘Hey, you have to really be careful about going out,'” said Achara, who has not been home since 2016.

The concerns go both ways. His mother offered some good advice in telling Achara to make the most of the break, given he has been consumed by school and soccer ever since coming to North America.

Brian Wiese, his coach at Georgetown University, told him virtually the same thing.

“He said ‘Be healthy.’ Because I wasn’t healthy the whole time at Georgetown,” said Achara.

Taken in the first round (25th overall) of the 2020 MLS SuperDraft, Achara earned a contract after scoring three goals in pre-season despite missing the first part of training camp due to illness.

Toronto believes Achara would have gone much higher in the draft had he not enduring a string of injuries with the Hoyas.


After sitting out Toronto’s season-opening 2-2 tie in San Jose, he was a late addition to the starting lineup a week later against New York City FC when Tsubasa Endoh failed a late fitness test.

Achara wasted little time making an impression on the home crowd at BMO Field. While an 11th-minute goal was ruled offside, Achara scored the winner in the 81st minute.

“Tonight, he was fantastic,” coach Greg Vanney said after the match. “He’s been fantastic since the day he arrived in pre-season in L.A. … From the day he arrived, he’s shown that he fits in, that he’s talented, that’s he’s a smart player, he can adapt within the game, can read plays, can play on the move as we saw tonight. He’s got soft feet even when he’s playing on the run.

“And he’s got a nose for goal. He scored twice tonight, really.”

While Achara praises the team for how its has treated its players during the pandemic, the young forward finds himself in a new city with not many acquaintances other than his teammates. He knew winger Jacob Shaffelburg from their time together at Berkshire High School.

Living in a high-rise near the team’s north Toronto training facility, Achara has not had much of a chance to check out his new city. He doesn’t have a car so the club picks him to take him to individual workouts rather than leave it to a cab.

It is one of the highlights of his week.

“Because you gets to see the coaches and the staff, even if it’s like six feet or two metres away,” he said.


“It’s fun, (it) just feels normal again,” he added. “I know it’s not but it’s something to do.”

Achara has been trying to make the best of the situation. He was featured in a Toronto FC workout video, hefting cans of tomatoes as makeshift weights.

“Just trying to stay fit,” he said with a laugh.

Away from practice, he has been rewatching TFC’s first two games of the season and delving into YouTube, watching Champions League finals and other games from the past.

The return of the Bundesliga has also provided a lift.

His elegantly braided hair has proved to be a challenge, however. Normally he leaves the “retwists” to a professional every three to four weeks but has had to do it himself of late.

“My hair. I need a new haircut, for sure,” he said with a belly-laugh. “It’s not looking good.”
