Sir, the context is development.
EPL being very competitive is just one issue. Also consider that over half of the teams there have a very poor playing philosophy, and I don't care how much gra gra they bring to their matches.
Most of our players are better of developing elsewhere. And of course they can come to the EPL much later, and hopefully sign for bigger teams with superior tactics.

komekn:
If you can't stand the heat do not go into the kitchen.

Competition does not reduce quality it increase it, by implication you are implying he is not good enough. He needs bto understand the speed, intensity and physicality of the EPL is unlike any other league in the World. That's why it is the most competitive.

The reality is that KC has been unable to cut it and if he can't cut it at Leicester then he will not be moving to Arsenal or Tottenham. Bit he will not be the first or last. This is why the EPL is not for everyone.

It's one thing to say a league is better than the other competitively. Yet it's another to say one is supreme and the other is trash.
All I have said is these so called back water league aren't as bad as many of us want to make it seem.
These days I've started paying attention to other leagues and I must say the level has been quite high.

komekn:
A indicative way of looking at things to measuring the superiority of the league.

Look at the top 10 rated FIFA national teams and ascertain what % of these players play in the EPL comparative to other leagues.

Belguim as a national team the bulk of thier quality players do not play in Belgium.

All those talking down all leagues but the EPL, do u ever get to watch those games. I watched Den Haag versus Roda today and the competition was quite fierce. These leagues are not trashy as some of us would like to think.
Even the Jupiler league - the few games I’ve watched so far — is pretty good.
Some of our players are underrated. I will be vindicated when they come up against the so called EPL great players in the WC hopefully.

Lol no, the argument on Martins has to do with his all-season stats in comparison with Ighalo.
Onyekuru has been in form no doubt. But hey do U remember those glory days when several Nigerians were always making headlines. Competition is always a good thing.

I had already made my opinion known. I voted Victor Moses because he was the better player in season 16/17.
Salah is the better player for 2017 calendar year IMO.

So when you say he deserved it from what angle are you speaking?

Icon4s:
And you feel that made Victor Moses deserve the award?

Forget patriotism Mohammed Salah deserved the award.

Pinnick has apologized, and he assumed responsibility as the president of the Federation.
It's time to look ahead.

Loogan:
If we are to look at the positives from this embarrassment it's that the federation will be under severe pressure and criticism especially after abandoning the team in rio. With this stupid mistake our federation can buckle up and become more organized.
Just like the South Africa match which was a wake up call for our team! this should serve as a kick in the ass of NNF officials to get thier shit together, you can't aim for success and make such mistake. Assuming those points cost us the World Cup ticket I can bet every penny a lot of these Anglo/Nigerian players would lose the love and interest in the country, I can only imagine the emotional trauma it would have caused the players were we not to qualify. we also would not get any of the top prospects, what's the use when they they hustle and fight for success then some official causes the team failure just because of laziness and incompetencey.
Our president has apologized it's accepted since it didn't cost us, but this kind of situation cannot repeat themselves.

"It's full ranking multiplier is 3" -- you haven't proved this yet.

realpoacher:
You guys won the last argument concerning FIFA rankings, but your first paragraph is a big lie.

CHAN is fully accepted by FIFA as Confederation's Regional tournament and its full ranking multiplier is 3.

People die regularly from doctor's incompetence in Nigeria.

I know someone who was given an IV of glucose but this man was diabetic. It took an observant visitor who was also a doctor to observe the anomaly otherwise the man would have died from incompetence.

Someone will then tell you, everyone makes mistakes after all he has been saving/serving others.

Assuming FIFA later find out that Algerian also feeded an illegible player in that same match what will happen to both team?

Thank you. I remember when we did the research here on this thread, and got it right.

Icon4s:
What I suspect would have happened is they probably were aware of Shehu's yellow card against Swaziland but lazily assumed that it would be wiped off automatically as we progress to the next round.

They probably didn't go the extra mile to find out the FIFA rule concerning that in this particular tournament.

Just like a lot of people were talking about head to head being used as a qualifying criterion prior to the Zambia game in Uyo (including Peterside Idah). Meanwhile for this particular edition of qualifiers it is goals difference.

There must be people in the technical committee whose job it is to read and interpret these FIFA rules.

Usually without an official review and decision to drop all accumulated cards before the next stage, every card still stands.
kennysville:
I dont think it is fair blaming NFF. The euphoria of dead rubber match got the better of everyone including yours truly.
But wait O! Is nt that match the qualification match befor the group stages? Why would the card count in the second phase to which Nigeria progressed?

I think this fifa rules need to be explained clearly. Let us hope they werent lying in wait to see if we were gonna slip up. I foresee them doing more digging. Was this necessary at this tym? After world cup draws had been done? I am beginning to think Fifa feels Nigeria na bad market for the world cup O!

one person is responsible. Someone needs be detailed in doing their jobs. But are we really surprised? It’s mever in our culture to take our jobs seriously.

But you made a valid point. How come we all missed it? It was Because that match was a preliminary match. Most of us see only the group stage as the qualification stage. How many people remember Efe Ambrose contributed in our goals tally until I mentioned it here? Same reason
