joseph1013: This stuff is not complicated. It's not about the activities, but results.
It's like a cleaner complaining that he earns much less than the COO despite the fact that he comes earlier and leaves later than the rest of the team.
If women want to earn more, they need to bring in more revenue.
In modeling, women earn much more than men, and men do not complain of marginalization because every rational person knows that it's all about the economic value you bring to the table.
icon4ss: That tells us that big names alone don't play football. Going into the 2006 AFCON Nigeria had the best assemblage of quality players: Okocha, Kanu, Yakubu, Martins, Osaze, Utaka, Nsofor, Yobo, Odiah, Young Mikel and Taiwo. Yet we only came back with bronze medal.
Drogba's generation of Elephants couldn't win the AFCON but a less talented squad won it in 2015 for them. The Nigerian squad that won the AFCON in 2013 was not the best on paper going into that AFCON. Zambia and Cameroon were never tipped as favorites when they won the AFCON in 2012 and 2017 respectively.
If you have a rich assemblage of players fantastic but the team still needs to work very hard to achieve results.
A merely descent team that is well coached and well managed can win the AFCON.
We don hear. E don tey we dey talk for here say our players no dey top clubs. At the end of the day it’s all about who would bring their A game as a TEAM. Make we continue to dey wait for our next golden generation
The kind things when I dey read here eh. Abeg no need to play group games for AFCON. Make dem just dash Morocco and CIV final match. E don tey star studded team win AFCON. Why would this one be different? Abeg make una dey talk. At the end of the day, it only looks that way on paper.
Icon4s: Egyptian players are not typically as talented as players from West Africa. What they really have going for them is their very good tactical awareness. I think their league is highly responsible for that.
In all my years of followership of the game Mohammed Salah is their best export to the European leagues.
khunz: I only summarized the views of Ghanaian sport lovers.They believe the coach should focus on qualifying from the group first before medal talk,hence I said ' he won bronze' and not the black satellite as a team.
There is nothing to celebrate here. I don’t understand the Ghana hating. We’ve also had times we failed to qualify. They will come back to fight another day. Na now una suppose to dey argue Samu here and there.
khunz: Ghana U-20 coach shouting all over the media that he will come home with a medal,well he just won his group's BRONZE MEDAL!!!
Oya should Samu go or not?. At your mark, get set, goooo
Icon4s: This Paul Aigbogun's team plays direct kind of Football. Nigerians are used to their teams stringing passes together which is reason behind complains of lack of team passes. The team obviously has a lot to improve upon. The bumpy pitch is also a set back
Well, any which way is a Way.
Congratulations Nigeria!
At least we have another tournament to look forward to.
So Chief Joebie do we have the permission to discuss players to include in this team now?
You can only be tested if u are given a chance. I clamored for Uzoho getting as much minutes as possible in the friendlies leading to the WC. That was the best thing to do at that time. However, now we are not that pressured, is the time to do meaningful building which only comes with keeping our regulars at their toes by presenting them with meaningful competition. Since we are building for the future (according to Rohr), Ezenwa should be challenging Uzoho else someone else challenge him for the number 2 spot.
We will be back to square one in future when when we have another GK crisis. If Ezenwa is not good enough for Russia, he won’t be good enough for Qatar, should something happen to uzoho.
Icon4s: There is nothing like being biased here. I am saying it as it is. Uzoho and Alampasu as far as the national team is concerned are not on the same category. Uzoho is more tested and trusted in the national colors. And so if Uzoho's club's coach doesn't have trust in him Rohr does. And so he will get the nod. It appears Rohr doesn't have confidence in Alampasu. Had it been that Alampasu continues to get game time in his club and also doing great with it while Uzoho continues on the bench then Alampasu definitely has a case. Which is why I earlier said let us hope Alampasu secures that spot first before we start clamoring for the SE.
U call Ezenza old papa. The same old papa that has proven to be a credible back up goalie from our WCQ to our last AFCON game.
There is no cause for alarm in the goal keeping position please. Ezenwa and Akpeyi will be Gradually phased out when the time comes. Alampasu and other up coming young goalies should continue working hard. Their time will come.
What Rohr would do is not the crux of the matter. Be balanced in your approach. From what ubsaid earlier it follows that Uzoho’s coach doesn’t also have confidence in him. Uzoho’s position in the SE team is as a result the situation we found ourselves pre-WC. However, we need to be fair in giving players chances to boost competition. Even if Ezenwa wasn’t a first choice you would still find an excuse. I can equally make an excuse for Alampasu that he is still actively training with his club. I’m just trying to be balanced in my judgement. We all know even Akpeyi shood not be getting regular call ups just to be 3rd choice. Put a new face there who would present a new challenge. How can old papa Ezenwa be playing 2nd fiddle to Uzoho who is still learning his trade? We need to be serious in our quest for excellence.
Icon4s: Uzoho is more tested in the national colors and so will still get a call up. Ezenwa is number 1 goalie at Katsina united now and is getting game time and so is Akpeyi. So we invite all 3.
If you were a coach and you had to pick one player between Maja and Iheanacho to lead your attack, who will you pick?. Say the truth and shame Shaitan!.
