Yes politics can hardly be entirely ruled out

Humility017:
have you forgotten that most Africa countries are French speaking...this often play out during those mikel and okocha robbery....coupled wit the presence of isa hayotu as CAF president......
I believe in 2013 mikel should have won the caf apoty...he did better than toure that year...likewise in 2004 jayJay deserve to win also the apoty...how eto won it that year still remain a mystery....

Is this not also decided by voting? Captains and coaches of the associations vote, right?

Taliban:
Not exactly the same situation in my opinion for Mikel and Toure. Maybe you can refer to the okocha/hadji robbery.

Very good with both feet. Plus he had like two assists. Future looks very bright if he continues like this.

Very strong points

tbaba1234:
Mikel had just played an important role in Chelsea's Europa League triumph and won AFCON as Nigeria's best player.

Toure had a trophyless season with City and was bundled out by Mikel's Nigeria.

Toure won that trophy on past achievements not that season.

Ofcourse, you can say Toure is a better player but for that year, Mikel edged him.

Good point. Same reason why Toure lost to Auba — like a twist of fate.

goldfish80:
Please let's not twist facts. Mikel had a better AFCON than Yaya but Yaya was clearly the better performer in the Epl. At the time, Yaya was top 5 world best midfielders.
He was the only African who made the FIFA best that year.

The argument was that the AFCON should be used to determine Africa's best in an AFCON year. But Aboutreka would have won 3 back to back Apty if winning the AFCON was the criteria.

Hehe.. made my comment before seeing yours

I've been a follower of this thread for a while now, although started posting comments today.

Joe is a grown ass man, he can do whatever the hell he wants, any where he wants online, we're not his parents. Just so that when he comes into this thread he takes off whatever cloak he puts on in other threads, we're cool.

You coming to threaten the peace of this thread is as empty as the loudest drum, as you'd be ignored to the extent you'd doubt your existence, I trust the group of matured people here.

Whatever issues you have who Joe, work them outside of here. Entendido?

Both, until we have a GREAT bench.
We are going against teams with great depth. We cannot afford to lose big teams because of our poor bench anymore. No stone should be left unturned.

Like I would always say, apples and oranges. Looking for reinforcement will not hinder your trying to get the best out of your players.

elunico:
I have a question to ask. Is this the time to go about "looking for the best?" or is this the time for us to "bring out the best in what we already have?"

You have marked yourself

goldfish80:
Lol.. I voted Salah. I'm neither sentimental Chelsea, Liverpool nor Arsenal Brit. I'm just an unbiased bystander who believes Mo deserved the crown. Better luck next time to Vic.

A moniker told me It should be based on 16/17 season. But hey rules don’t apply when people vote. I think Moses was the better player in 16/17 season. In fact I voted for him for that reason. But hey Mo has been firing all cylinders even after the shortlist was announced. That will surely sway some voters. I think Salah is the better player for this calendar year.
And to your point we are actually the most biased and sentimental. I strongly feel Mo won beacaiae Egyptians (football fans or not) voted for him overwhelmingly. He is revered in that country.

maidaboi:
only in nigeria we have unbiased non sentimental people
if we swap there country moses would have won cause Egypt will support there own

We will resist you. The context here is football if you want to engage him, keep to that political thread of yours.
We re not his parents. I don’t care what you do in your bedroom as long as u don’t bring it where I am.

g0tze:
Super eagles sports fans, i am here to report to the house the childish and irresponsible behaviour of one of your own TheGoodJoe or Cityjoe. I have been his fan on this thread till he dabbled into some threads in the political section. His posts portrayed him as a full blown tribalist.
Anybody that knows TheGoodJoe should warned him to refrain from posting tribal comments on the political thread otherwise this once peaceful thread will become a theatre of war.

A question I have always asked.

elunico:
Putting pressure on the team bi ti bawo? I'm lost. Does the coaching crew come here to validate their decisions as regard the team? Or does everyone on this thread have direct link to the NFF and the coaches?

Lol
Someone engaged me on this regard in the past I knew it would happen.

Mujtahida:
But the award is supposed to be based on last season na. Was Salah in the EPL last season?

Whatever we say here is whatever.
Enyema is in Rohr’s plans as long as he meets the conditions.

MetalJigsaw:
Good. so since he's not in form let's f us on other goalkeepers and stop clamouring to "convince" him to return as if he's Buff on.

Super VI update

---

Ahmed Musa clocked 90 minutes for Leicester U23 today as they came from behind to beat their Everton counterpart 2-1.


Where is Habib Makanjuola?

Rohr has been doing the needed talking with him. But he did not stop there. He also gave conditions meaning he wasn’t giving Enyeama a free pass.

Rohr can do without Enyeama, but Rohr has shown from his utterances that an in-form Enyeama is needed

MetalJigsaw:
Bringing back Enyeama is not a must in Rohr's perspective

You are in the right field. In this life there many people who have no business being doctors, nurses, journalists etc. sir I must say you are not just a lawyer, someday you will be a highly esteemed judge.

Mujtahida:
I watched the interview he had on channels and I watched that of Oliseh. The analysts on channels said both of them are to blame. My position based on what I watched is that none of them is to blame. We just had two people misunderstanding each other. Oliseh gave certain context that made me understand the issues. Both of them acted based on their misunderstood positions.

Rohr already said it plainly, Mikel will remain captain. The conditions have been well spelled out as regards Enyeama’s return.
Let’s not make noise over a non-issue.

MetalJigsaw:
The captaincy armband has caused an issue in the team before. So why ruling out its possibility?

Thanks for clearing the air, because it totally makes no sense that Idah will be making such comments after Rohr’s talks with Enyeama directly.

Magink:
Peterside said on the radio which I listened to on Lagos talks that the conversation he had with Enyeama was actually after that Oliseh incident occurred, so this report isn't recent but around last year.

Lol.
If u have been following me u would know I’m very comfortable with Uzoho as our number 1. I’m not sentimental like that.
What’s Idah stake in the matter? Announcing that Enyeama told him this and that. He should just have said Enyeama told me to put it out there. Rohr clearly gave Enyema conditions. And so be it.

Modified
There are some kind of people that will find ur mouth and use it to hurt you. Idah seems to be that kind of person, unless he comes out to say Enyeama told him to put it out there.

safarigirl:
why should Idah shut up? Bexause he is not saying what you want to hear?

Joebie please I have left this Enyeama talk, before I waste my time going in circles over an inconsequential argument. No quote me again about this guy

If you wan tell me anything, tell me about NFF's proposed roadmap to Russia

Madam. Rohr started the talks with Enyeama without anyone’s approval. The situation will be concluded between Rohr and Enyeama. Peterside Idah needs to shut up.

Modified
I’m a “sucker” for credible information related a credible manner.. not relying on dem says. I rather be wrong that way than to be misled by rumors.

safarigirl:
we are waiting for him to slap us with the NO very well, you know, the way many kept insisting on Tammy Abraham even when he was giving signs he was not interested

If Enyeama does not insult the entire NFF and Nigeria in his rejection, we no go gree hear word. We will keep clamouring for him till we have eggs thrown in our face once again

People get informed in this thread. I get informed, we all get informed one way or the other. By now u should already know that captaincy will never be an issue whether Enyeama returns or not.

Modified
You don’t seem to know Rohr’s stance on Enyeama

MetalJigsaw:
Answer my question of who will be the team captain since you can seen the future. Don't you know that that issue issue is a potential jeopardizer of the team togetherness?

You're surely the type of dude that easily gets emotionally attached to a woman and keep begging and licking her ass even if she clearly doesn't want you.

Thank goodness Rohr doesn't think the way you do. I thank God that Rohr doesn't have your kind of mentality.

Nigerian Exports : Onyekuru, Efe Ambrose, Odey On Target For European Clubs

Nigerian Exports : Onyekuru, Efe Ambrose, Odey On Target For European ClubsThree players who have caps for the Nigerian national team were on target for their respective European clubs in league matches on Sunday, December 10.

In the Scottish Premiership, out-of-favour Super Eagles right back Efe Ambrose opened his goalscoring account in the league as Hibernian were held to a 2-2 draw by Celtic at Easter Road Stadium.

With the home team trailing 2-0, they staged a late comeback courtesy of goals from Ambrose, who tapped home from a corner kick in the 75th minute, and Oliver Shaw.

Over to the Belgian First Division A, Henry Onyekuru hit double-digits in goals when he tallied his tenth of the season across all competitions in Anderlecht's shock 3-1 loss to Sporting Charleroi at Stade Constant Vanden Stock in Brussels.

Anderlecht managed to grab a late consolation goal in the 82nd minute through the Nigeria international, who shrugged off a defender before firing past goalkeeper Penneteau.

Elsewhere, FC Zurich suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Luzern at Stadion Letzigrund, with Stephen Odey registering his first goal for the first team of FC Zurich in the 24th minute.

The former Mountain of Fire attacker made it 1-1 with a powerful left-footed strike from inside the box in the 24th minute.

Attacking Midfielder Right. That term is used in a 4-2-3-1
Aina was later switched to a LB

MetalJigsaw:
Is anything like AMR?

I hope you had a revealing tour, Agali.
To all of you who get carried away by every headline, take note.

Mischievous agents using my name for selfish purposes- Agali

Super Eagles’ Chief Scout, Victor Agali has lambasted players’ agents who are bent on tarnishing his image for their own selfish interests, especially feeding the media with untrue information.

The former Super Eagles’ forward, who was recently appointed by Coach Gernot Rohr as the official scout for the senior national team, told AOIFootball.com that his activities are solely reported to the coach and insinuations that he makes comments about who the coach invites to the team and who will make the World Cup squad are very untrue.

“It is funny when I read stories about me and my job in the media, as though I report my activities to them. I read one that I have told coach Rohr about some new players he should invite and those he should not invite. I have also been quoted as saying some players deserve to be in the World Cup squad and some do not. These are all false claims.

“I am a professional and cannot make such statements in the public because it is not my job to do so. I want to use this medium to say to agents who use my name as propaganda for their players to stop doing so. It is not right and will not get to any good end after all,” Agali said.

The former OGC Nice attacker also pointed out that his job description is clear.

Agali recently returned to the country after a scouting tour of Europe.

Anderlecht 0-3 Charleroi
What's happening to Anderlecht?
Onyekuru playing as the point man in attack.

I will find out soon. I've seen clips of both goals. The pitch seems to be waterlogged.

Cobo favored ahead of Uzoho. Uzoho in bench.
Uzoho was not listed in the previous round. Probably returning from injury?

Follow their opponent.

Humility017:
thanks...please who is manning that post...?

We can arrange a ceremonial match for him.

soetanoreoluwa:
We should allow him enjoy his retirement in peace... His enemies are still around.

we sef and tagging.
The real questions is how many German-Nigerians have we courted in comparison to Anglo-Nigerians?
We also need to consider other factors. The timing of our approach. Let us approach all those Anglo-Nigerians in league one and the Championship and you will see a shift. But I wouldn't support that.

Humility017:
straightforward that they wanna play for England....
I think the German born have been more straightforward....wit the heading of their international career...
if they wanna play for you...they say it straight.
unlike the English players who will only use the super eagles draw up Southgate and co...attention....not because they really wanna play....

how many of them have really been straightforward as regard playing for us...

I remember pinnick started courting Tammy a long-time ago...him and his Dad...keep saying he wanna progress through the English youth system first...same reason ejaria, onomah and ilorfa gave....

had it been they were straightforward like iwobi...wit their fathers connection wit pinnick especially the deltans amongst them..they would have been in the super eagles by now....
I can vividly tell you.. it would have rub off on their career as well....
remember mikel's comment on Aina while he was still in Chelsea when aina eventually made up his mind...things fell into places...

Okay good.. I couldn't find any match data

Modified
it's 2-0 now

Humility017:
they're currently playing now...leading by a goal to nil....

Deportivo Fabril play later today.

They are actually playing at the moment away to CCD Cerceda.
Can't find any match data

Humility017:
you're right bro.....
I am with you on those words you put up there....
no one should be begged to play for the super eagles...not even the messi kind o player....never.

what happened to uzoho this weekend bro...any gist?

I actually think most have been straightforward.
We have to accept they are always torn between two countries. It's understandable.

Humility017:
many of this english groomed players would have been in the super eagles by now...had it been they were straightforward and more resolute wit their decision to play for us....especaliy illorfa junior...

you see opportunities sometimes often don't come twice...even when it does it takes a while....
very few...I repeat few...will end up play for England.
so the safer side would have been the super eagles....just like Aina who now plays for the super eagles...
