Why do we get sentimental when it comes to home based players?

The fact is that the best players move abroad. Many of those still in the league have been unsuccessful in foreign trials. The league quality as it stands now is not good enough for the national team. Let the players go abroad and prove their quality in better leagues. The best ones will shine when the standard is raised. Others will fade away.

ChrisKels:
Can u define the word crap as it relates to football? Can u call Lallanna, Sturridge or could u have called Hargreaves crap? What made Osimhen and Success craps?

Humility017:
let those guys go to Germany just for one mid season...and watch the stiffnecked coach...run after them like a bull.

rohr is just a slight improved version of our indigenous coaches....

ChrisKels:
Where is that hungry agent called komekn that was trying so hard to make us believe Osimhen and Success were crap while Maja, Iorfa et al are gold?

gamaliel9:
Evidently Osimhen is better playing from the middle. He has got a brave heart...to have shot from that range

gamaliel9:
Osimhen..... what is he smoking? THAT WAS FROM 20YARDS OR 25?

Danielnino00:
Uganda eh? Those people can teach Mourinho how to play defensive football eh .. Its a good one if its true . Though I would have preferred a stronger opponent like ivory coast

Humility017:
you wan start again?
etebo as an AM?
it seems you've not been watching super eagles matches....
when has etebo performed as an AM?
sometimes some of US just wanna talk....

a player that can barely create space and make string passes upfront...
no doubt he is one of the best CM option we have in the super eagles...but as an AM...
haba

We have players that are willing like Eze, Ejaria, Ojo etc and we keep chasing those that are not willing.

BascoVanVeli:
Saying a player should not have been invited does not constitute celebration. Odey gets mentioned more than those guys because he plays every week. Everytime I post about him people always say good things so I can't agree with anything you are saying

comodo:
Anaemena has missed 3 headings in a row. I guess these ENYIMBA guys smoked something.

BascoVanVeli:
Who has talked about Nwakali and Sadiq apart from you to put them down?
It is not until we have a Odey v Ighalo debate that you know the boy is being talked about.

Rohr: Super Eagles want revenge against South Africa



Gernot Rohr has said the Super Eagles will be seeking to avenge a 2-0 home loss against South Africa when both teams battle again next month for places at the 2019 AFCON.

Bafana Bafana recorded their first-ever official win over Nigeria in June 2017 when they won 2-0 in Uyo.



The two teams clash again on November 17 in Johannesburg with Nigeria needing just a point to qualify for Cameroon 2019.

Rohr said the home loss to South Africa still rankles and he hopes his team could now get their pound of flesh.

“The defeat still hurts and we want to take revenge for it,” the coach told Kick Off Magazine.

“They beat us with strong counter attacks in Uyo.

“We dominated the game and actually played quite well in first half, but didn’t score.

“And then they attacked us on the counter, one towards the end when we pressed for the equalizer

He continued: “It was in June 2017, which is now quite a long time ago.

“I remember we had many players absent at the time, with that match taking place in the break between the seasons.

“I’m happy that everyone will be available this time around and that our team can get revenge for that defeat.”

Rohr picked striker Percy Tau as his best South Africa player.

Humility017:
so at last rohr now know...that there is a good AM in the championship in the name of EZE worthy to be in the super eagles..
.

rohr is a very biased coach I must say...had it been that young man was in Germany even in the lower Division with such blazing performance he would have called him up since...

that man sentiment is killing super eagles in some way.

krattoss:
robbed as in how?
Mobbed or robbed?

MetalJigsaw:
Hmm... why are you so confident about Eze getting a callup despite the kind of rigid coach we have?

safarigirl:
So, Gernot Rohr was robbed in Asaba..... Nigerians can never pass up an avenue to show their talent, can they?

Asaba boys have done well, the final home game will be played in Uyo, at least Uyo boys don't go about robbing people

raindodger13:
Its funny you said that because I was going to say his skill set reminds me of a young jj okocha. He's only 19 though and he's not completly "there" yet. Rohr can still invite him , rear him up, and track his growth.

komekn:
That battle got very dirty behind the scenes.

In my opinion Oruma was not as talented and skillful as JJay but was sometimes more effective in his outcome delivery = end product and certainly more disciplined and a better team player.

BascoVanVeli:
You also forgot Iheanacho played the position against Seychelles ba? This vex don comot your memory sell for computer village

BascoVanVeli:
Bad form to joke about the man's death

do4luv14:
guys who watch today episode of promise on zeeworld so sweet!!!!!

BascoVanVeli:
They are not questioning any thing, they are bare facts. So for your mind every Nigerian not playing for us is unpatriotic? Like you rightly said it is a choice and I look at it as such. I don't hate Eze or any other boy that wants to represent England but if they are not willing I won't lose sleep. Not because we are Brazil but out of respect for the guys who we already have. Joebie was so hot about Ebere that he even forgot Iwobi was an AMF. I would love to see all good talent in the SE but the coach gets paid to only pick so many. I am not in love with Rohr's tactics but we can't underrate what that man as done for our football. Not just Ighalo, he gave the fans confidence in their team

Curtisaxel7:
Okwaraji didn't DECIDE to die for Nigeria. He happened to have a fatal heart attack while on the pitch for the GWG, it could have happened to him even if he was in his house.

His patriotism is not in doubt of course, but just to set the records straight, he didn't CONCIOUSLY CHOOSE to do it.

This the news i have been hunting for all evening....I just loaded my data...waiting

Stephen Odey gets his first goal in Europe and it might be a winner
