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.
Most people Nigerians or not are after their pockets. The difference is that some other countries have given their citizens reasons to believe they are special, whether true or not. They tell them these stories in their school system and show them bad but true images of other countries. My question are what do Nigerians see in other countries? What stories did our parents tell us, and even if they wanted to lie to us, will the reality on ground support their story?
forgiveness: No! Most Nigerians are not patriotic. They are after their pockets.
Thank you. I won't blame Akpeyi for that goal. But Akpeyi na on and off. He is not reliable.
BascoVanVeli: Mehn Enyeama's own was worse oh. I think Yakubu's miss kind of excused him though. Plus he is Vincent freaking Enyeama and his quality was never in doubt.
even if we take 4th place is an achievement considering we've not been to two nations cup prior to now.
Taliban: Few more hours to the greatest losers final game. Carthage Eagles vs Super Eagles. Which of the Eagles will get de-winged? All roads leas to thensure epic encounter. Tunisia are not taking the game lightly and may stop at nothing to ensure they defeat Nigeria and win the coveted beautiful bronze medal.
Any feelers from our camp or insight into tomorrow's lineup. Will Osihmen show the coach what he has missed, would Ogu produce another own goal assist?
Waiting earnestly for the game tomorrow so Nigerians could be proud of their team again.
People will be saying he should not be fired and he should remain forever as if he himself cannot resign if he wants .. if he resign nko, we go beg am abi?
Daninya111: Coach Rohr will speak about his future with the S. E after our 3rd place match tomorrow.
Assistant coach to late Stephen Keshi at the 2013 Afcon, Sylvan us Okpala says he is available for selection as coach of the super eagles.
We will be putting on our green jersey again tomorrow, should we expect another loss? Only time will tell.
If NFF is not hiring new assistants for Rohr then it’s a waste of time supporting the Eagles.
elyte89: Anyway pinnick has spoken,he said d NFF board will stick with rohr @least till Aug 2020,when his contract expires...so peeps,drop dis who will replace rohr or not
He barely kicked a ball before being hurt? Tell me about it.
BascoVanVeli: This is the problem when some of you guys hear new phrases you start using them anyhow. Which feelings dey here to catch? We are discussing football and you are talking about catching feelings for what?
Your reasons were baseless. You said he wasn't on form but he barely kicked a ball before being hurt so how do you know? If you don't think the player is good enough that means you don't like the player.
Rohr no be magician. If he do this one, e no work. He should have done that one. If he do that one, e no work. Dem go say he should have done this one. People will be recommending average players like say the players for score long range free kick.
Icon4s: Rohr should have...Rohr could have...why didn't Rohr start....
I do not dislike the player either. My reasons are still valid. Are u the one saying the moniker was crazy? Shehu won’t have made any impact in that match. Period. Stop catching feelings
BascoVanVeli: Stop changing my words I said you don't like the player nothing was mentioned about hate. Nobody asked you to make a call for anybody. Someone else made the call and you were acting like the person was crazy.
Shehu has had more good games than bad. In fact I can't name a bad game he has had apart from maybe the Argentina friendly. All you people said "Shehu never goes forward but Awaziem played basically the same way and you are like what a great player so disciplined.
Exactly. we needed a player that could make an impact, not just another player playing in his natural position.
edi287: I mean I can understand the logic in bringing Shehu as a CM to free Etebo but Shehu isn't much of a controller and that is what we needed...not just an additional CM.
CAF disown Pinnick, NFF on $565,473 spent on congress by Samm Audu July 14, 2019 6:48 pm
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have distanced themselves from a claim by the Amaju Pinnick-led Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that they spent $565,473 ( more than 198 million Naira) to attend a CAF congress in 2015.
This position was in response to an inquiry by the Nigerian anti-corruption agency SPIP, which sought to know if CAF were aware of such expenditure.
The NFF claimed they spent a whopping $565,473 to be part of the CAF Congress in 2015 when facts later emerged that the Nigerian delegation received their flight tickets and their boarding and other expenses were borne by the continental football ruling body.
However, in a letter dated June 30, 2019, and signed by general secretary Mouad Hajji, CAF clearly told SPIP they did not receive the said amount from the NFF.
CAF also made it clear that they take up the expenses of member-associations to their official events like the congress.
“1. Referring to the financial report, it appears that CAF did not receive any payment from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
“2. The participation of all the National Associations in the Congress is free and requires no contribution from the latter to the holding of General Assemblies and these expenses by CAF for all the representatives of the participating federations of these congresses.
“In conclusion, I confirm that no contribution from the NFF has been received by CAF.”
CAF further said they will be available to the anti-corruption agency should they need any more clarifications.
The anti-corruption agency has brought a 17-count charge against Pinnick and four other top NFF officials ranging from embezzlement and corruption to failure to declare their assets.
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has since ordered the arrest of the officials and the matter has been adjourned till September 26.
lol...as if Iwobi was in the AM position when he laid that brilliant pass for Chukwueze against SA. That's the kind of pass we demand from our wingers all the time.
edi287: He wasn't disastrous and even at that he would be able to swap position with Etebo further forward. Musa can play on the right if he's there solely for making runs into the box instead of this pseudo playmaking nonsense he's been trying to do lately.
Why would I hate the player? I've never been impressed with Shehu. Why should I make a call for a player of that caliber? Tell me how many games Shehu has played well for us. Players do drift to other positions during game time, so there is simply no excuse.
BascoVanVeli: You don't like Shehu simple and plain. What kind of dirty form are you claiming from a guy who barely played one half?
