I said that this money thing distracted our boys in the early stages

Its a pity to think that majority even earn way more than the money they were fighting for

andrew444:
Ramon Azeez scored for Granada in their pre season friendly

I hope he will be given a new contract so we can watch him play in laliga

komekn:
If we are to look at things without bias,our defenders were poor.

Considering where Ekong and Omeruo play they were both making school boy errors.

Thankfully they already have clubs in better leagues if not they would be still stuck in Turkey.

The only players that performed above average for me where IGHALO, ETEBO, NDIDI and AINA.

TheSuperNerd:
If you all recall the discussion between Bascovanveli and I many months ago, we both discussed the possibility of Ighalo going on to emerge Afcon Top scorer on top of being Qualifiers top scorer and crowning it with an Afcon trophy to give him a shot at APOTY.

Well only a part of our thoughts came through. Ighalo did emerge top scorer back to back...

Bascovanveli, I am sure you remember the discussion.... I have personally had reservations about Iggy and his touch-and-go form.... But I always gave him my support to deliver.

He did struggle in the GWG for years but his latter periods with the team is quite a story to behold. He finished well even though he didn't start well.... And the race of life is for finishers...not starters.

You just have to give it up for Iggy (shown on Rohr's right)..... He retires a hero. And showed that he is farrrrrrrr better than that Overhyped Chris Boy called Niang....

darkelf:
Are you trolling?

darkelf:
Oga Joebie, I am in support with Chriskels on this one. The league he plies his trade in is just too low. Bringing down our standards just because we want a quick fix would backfire.

Where is azubuike egwuekwe ?

gamaliel9:
Madagascar had players playing in 5th tier in France...unbelievable...but they reached the second round....they even topped our group....there is a limit players who play in the lower leagues can take you

ChrisKels:
If Okoye can not land a Bundesliga 2 club and play consistently, then, forget it, he aint worth the mention here and shouldn't be considered for the Eagles.

TheSuperNerd:
Behold Ighalo's #9 jersey will also be up for grabs....


And this looks like the most likely candidate to inherit it in the long run...

You know him.... And time will tell.

Victor "The Menace" Osimhen....

TheSuperNerd:
I forgot about Samuel Kalu. I will add him to My Outsiders list.

But calm down Sir odenigbo... Lol... Iwobi is still in with a shout. That is why I say Long run.


On Etebo... There is no way Etebo will dorn that #10 shirt please. I cancel such proposal... Lol

leathalbeast:
Musa is a fantastic player who needs proper managing to unleash all the beast in him, remember sterling of liverpool v sterling of mancity ? whats the difference? Pep

TheSuperNerd:
You are actually right Mostob. Nigeria remains Africa's most consistent side in Afcon History.

3 Gold (Titles) + 4 Silver medal finishes + 8 bronze medal finishes

The consistency is top class. Undisputed. But we need a fourth title. The next final we get to, I'm sure we will win it. Afcon 2021 is a target... It is in Cameroun.

mostob:
Below is the number of times the following teams have finished in the medals table of the African Cup of Nations

The super eagles of Nigeria Is the best side in afcon history judging by the medals table finish.


Saw this somewhere..

how true?

darkelf:
"White Onigbinde"

Just thought about this now

Nigerians no get chill at all

tbaba1234:
Keshi in terms of results, yes but many of his players disappeared.

I think Rohr will be leaving a better foundation that we will enjoy for years to come.

Look at Aina, Osimhen, Samu, Iwobi, Uzoho, Collins, Ekong, Ndidi.. plus the under 23 boys. The future is bright. Rohr might not even be the coach to reap the benefits

darkelf:
I don talk my own. he mustn't be caught sleeping in class.

darkelf:
Nice

Rohr has no reason not to look at other players now

forgiveness:
You no hear nonsense be that.

daveP:
Key save how?


That was luck on hid side. Have you forgotten Akpeyi? That had probabilistic outcome and luckily for a chancr at saving for Akpeyi standards, that was just pure luck.

somehow:
Akpeyi was in the middle unlike what others have been saying. He also saw the ball.

For those expecting Akpeyi to have totally ignored the wall side, una see that of Enyeama?

Professionally speaking, Enyeama position na primary school own lol

forgiveness:
No! Most Nigerians are not patriotic. They are after their pockets.
