Lol. Funny analysts. What coach drop a Moses Simon, and Onuachu for Dennis and Nwakaeme at this point?

Sir you can say this cos we have a very rigid coach...one or two underperforming players can be dropped...Pls how important is Moses and Onuachu to the team that they cannot be dropped if they are not performing.

zuchyblink:
Awoniyi vs Onuachu

Bro that's my opinion...previous seasons I would have picked Onuachu over Awoniyi but Awoniyi am seeing now is better than Onuachu.

Baba make we no flog issue na my opinion.

zuchyblink:
Moffi and Awoniyi cannot bench Iheanacho,Ighalo, Osimehn and Onuachu

Oga Awoniyi is better than Onuachu...Yes Osimehn and Iheanacho ahead....Ighalo apart from being experienced,nothing more.

Joebie:
Shehu has been in this team for years and nobody is shouting that Rohr is corrupt.

When Rohr is not Keshi who go talk.

TFLASHOGEE:
ok let the war begin awoniyi isn't listed kasala go soon Burst for here

What a pity my boy Taiwo Awoniyi paid the price...Special shout out to John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses for being real.

Hope to see Odion start from where he stopped at 2019 Afcon.

A lot here don't know what goes on behind the scene regards player invitation.

MetalJigsaw:
Not a convincing stat at all

Kanu real show for naija was Under 17 and Atlanta 96 and irrespective of the stat he had good football career,playing for Ajax,Inter Milan and Arsenal but Super eagles career,not too impressive.

Five Afcon and three WC no goal but one thing remain here he won Africa footballer of the year twice due to his exploit at Atlanta 96 and Arsenal.

This your headline oh....walahi I thought say na Mikel Obi and Steven Gerald ni oh..I for say wetin dem come do for ultimate search.

Next time just say Mfom and Odeka.

Guys enough of this flopping issue....how on earth an allegation raised by Nwakaeme brother led to this for God sake.

I asked a question on how are we going to react if the said allegation was on local coach? but we are shifting goal post without even talking on the allegation.

I remember when Sarki bribery allegation came up without even mentioning Keshi I know how some guys reacted,some one even said he believed Sarki 100% whereas the same Sarki as at 2013 cannot even make starting 50 of SE talk less of invitation to 30 man squad but now Nwakaeme flopped instead for us to deliberate on the issue.

Pls let's talk on the allegation cos I have made my own opinion that it is not possible and Subzero said Nwakaeme and Sarki made a false statement.so let hear our view on it.

Nwakaeme flopping no be koko if you guys believed that Sarki story is true...

solonnachi:
Happy new month guys. Today happens to be my birthday. Please celebrate God's goodness to me.

Happy birthday solonnachi

HAPPY NEW MONTH MY PEOPLE.....it shall be well with us IJN.

24 years old lady begging 83 years old man for sex abi na marriage.....women and money oh.

Joebie:
okay this was exactly what I was insinuating earlier. If we believe our indigenous coaches made such demands from such players, why are are we doubting when the allegation is put against a foreign coach? Na the matter egbon Kog45 dey talk.
In both cases the coach accused need to answer to the allegations.

Thank you Joe man...really surprised seeing guys trying to sweep the allegation under the rug,leaving the main issue but asking is Nwakaeme not a flop?

When Sarki made an allegation without even mentioning name,guys resulted to Keshi and funny enough nobody ask question how good was Sarki to make Keshi team? but now Nwakaeme is a flop so the allegation was baseless.

I repeat it if this allegation was made under a local coach there would be nothing like Nwakaeme is a flop.

I think Salisu is back after he was suspended for corrupt practices but Rohr want him back.I thought Rohr will never work with Salisu again based on that conviction.

My point we nailed our own without facts.

Honestly I don't believe in Dickson Nwakaeme claimed and I don't believe in Emma Sarki claimed.

Subzero047:
If it had substance and is believable I will take it serious, I don't care much about Rohr

Pls try and read Emma Sarki allegation cos some here believed that he was saying the truth.

If they can believed such then am waiting for them to say something on this...

Mind you I don't believe this allegation.

Subzero047:
Bro Nwakaeme is a 32yr old playing in Turkey there are not much upsides to being his agent, if someone like Awoniyi made that claim it would have substance besides there are many players with different agents playing in the SE so why would a player Rohr had a good reason to bench come up with such a ridiculous story?

Okay Sir,

but you haven't answer my question?

....would you have believe this story if it was made against local coach.

Kog45:
Bro that's not the point and I think my post is good enough for you to understand.

I'm not nailing Rohr cos I know the allegation is not true just like Emma Sarki allegation is not true.

I know if this allegation was about 2013 or when we have local coach in charge I know some would have say yes is true.

Pls subzero I want you to say something about this post cos you resulted to Nwakaeme was a flop but the major issue here is a corrupt allegation.

If it was a local coach would you have said is a cock story?

My good friend humility would have pour his mind out on local coaches...am waiting for him to say something.

DrKlever:
Why is Osimhen not on match day squad. Injury?

injured.

Subzero047:
No be Nwakaeme that was given a chance and flopped on his debut, didn't Rohr tell him that he has to move to a better league to get a chance with the SE?

Bro that's not the point and I think my post is good enough for you to understand.

I'm not nailing Rohr cos I know the allegation is not true just like Emma Sarki allegation is not true.

I know if this allegation was about 2013 or when we have local coach in charge I know some would have say yes is true.

Subzero047:
C0ck and bull story

...but if na local coaches dey in charge it would not be a cock story to some o.

Sarki made an allegation without even mentioning name na Keshi suffered am here.

Success starts as a lone striker against inter Milan

Cool hope he grabs this opportunity.

Danielnino00:
There's a post on eaglestracker Facebook page where they interviewed Nwaekeme's brother and he stated why his brother stopped getting invited to the national team..
Go and check it...

Daniel,pls pass the info here.....later got it.

Dickson Nwakaeme said Anthony Nwakaeme was denied another invitation cos someone wanted to manage him as agent.

Thank God this is not 2013...Keshi for hear am here o.

Philosopher1979:
WHY NIGERIAN PLAYERS STRUGGLE IN EUROPE

Terem Moffi interview, why Nigerian layers struggle in euroPE

"The way of conceiving football in Nigeria is very different from what one sees in Europe. There, when you learn the basics, you are already 16 or 17 years old, in Europe, we do that from an early age, at 6 or 7 years old. In Nigeria, we form a group and we play football, it’s that simple (laughs). Do you understand what I mean? That was really it, you come, you play football and around 16 or 17, you barely start to learn the basics. You have to be really talented and good to catch up and assimilate the technical, tactical and physical basics quickly".

This is a quote from Terem Moffi in an interview. I mean with what he says, an 11 year old boy born
in Europe has more knowledge of footballing tactics than a 17 year old boy.
Nigerian or African players go to Europe and struggle because there is a 7 year old gap in their footballing education

I beleive we have to improve on our coaching in order to produce our own messi and de bruynes
There should be a strong emphasis on coaching. In fact, i think we need a coaching revelation from grassroots.
Our football academies must devote more resources to coaching.
One good coach can produce 15 good players and vice versa.
We seem not to take coaching seriously from an early age

I think sports development went awry with negligent of government.

In the 80s to 90s we have a blue prints of sport development from primary,secondary to tertiary institutions and also we have YSFON managed by Tony Eke with the assistance of NSC.

I remember my secondary school represented Nigeria at some youth games in Finland,Sweden and Canada which I was part with true age...we have MANUWA ADEBANJO cup compete for by secondary schools in Nigeria.What of National Sports festival that produced great talents for us.What can we say about NUGA games,NIPOGA games,NICOEGA games,the military games....but the real talents are into yahoo yahoo and prostitution now known as Olosho by our girls.

There are good plans on Nigeria sports development then with season administrators like Isaac Akioye,SB Williams,Patrick Okpomo,Patrick Eke,Tony Eke,Nathaniel Idowu the father of great British runner Philip Idowu,Anthony Ikhazobo,Emeka Omeruo,Prof Emiola etc....but now politicians disguised as sports administrators are the ones managing our sports today

I always laughing hearing that Amaju Pinnick has done well for Nigeria football especially in the area of sponsorship?balant lies....The best sporting brand was in the 90s and this really paved for US 94 team.This feat was made possible by Segun Odegbami,Chris Eseka,Sani Toro,Dudu Orumen and the likes...check out US 94 jersey.

It was this brand that paved way for Nigeria vs England Wembley showdown and made possible by Segun Odegbami who went to John Fashanu to meet British sports minister and later England FA and it was later bankrolled by cadbury.This is what we called real football administration.

The question I always asked myself why are we having those who doesn't even love the games at helms of affairs now.Honestly to make impact as sports administrators you must love the game....the love of the game pushed Segun Odegbami to take over the management of Chioma Ajunwa,use his personal monies and contacts to prepare her for Olympics cos he believed in her talent and at the end the woman won us our first Olympics gold.

Today bunch of thieves are real power brokers in our sport administration.The grassroots development is gone,the only saving grace is to run to Europe looking for Nigerian foreign born we did not have any impact on their developments and if they declined to play for us we insults them as if they are owing us anything.

The only way out is to go back to the root and find a way out.Imagine a school without playing ground for students.My old secondary school in 80s have good football playing field,track field,standard basketball court,lawn tennis court,cricket pitch,solid squash court,Volleyball court,good hockey pitch but going there now everything have turned to carcass.

It's well for Naija o.

Rohr should stop using Ola Aina on the right side of the defense and moved him to the left side to compete with Zaidu Sanusi and Jamilu Collins....watching him in Torino he looked more assured on the left side.

MondayJusaw:
Dubai is kinda hot for Nigerians now. Theres age restrictions below 35years applying for visa, working there already and your employment visa expires, its cant be renew as a Nigerian. Getting there newly you cant get work permit as a Nigerian also. I read its even biting harder as some are already sent back home

If you are above 35 years you are free to get employed in Dubai...just get your three months tourist visa and search for jobs when you get to Dubai.

zuchyblink:
In their current squad Tunisia have 12 players out of 23, Algeria 7 players, Morocco 3 players

Okay.

zuchyblink:
Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco are ranked above us they have a good number of their players playing in the Middle east

Pls can you named those players playing in the middle east.

zuchyblink:
Emotions and sentiments. I know people are afraid that Ighalo will Bench their boy Osimehn, Osimehn is also my boy but the important thing is not who plays but the progress of the team. In a 3-5-2 formation Osimehn can partner Ighalo,in a 4-3-3 formation Osimehn can play from right flank just the way Mbappe plays. The call for Ighalo is not targeted at any player but to improve the performance of the team

Sir it seems you are getting it wrongs.The issue is not about Ighalo benching Osimehn cos Ighalo of today cannot bench Osimehn and I want to say it without sentiment that level playing ground,Ighalo will find it tough to play ahead of Awoniyi,I might sound funny for saying this but that's my opinion.

Rohr is the coach and he said he want Ighalo back,no issue,everything stop at his desk as a coach.

Osimehn,Taiwo,Onuachu,Moffi and Ighalo,no lele,na the same eagles.

humility33:
Oga andrew aka objective analyst

Scoring in german league is not same as scoring in Seria A oooo

The defenders in the later barely allow u breathing space, they bare leave spaces for strikers to explore, they're tough, brutal and way mastered the art of defending

Here teams hate conceding goals, even when loosing 3 nil they still keep defending rather than attack, the teams are defensive minded and barely tailored to play fast paced counter attacking football

Harland won't be able to put up those numbers he is doinh in Germany even CR7 struggled in Seria A unlike in La Liga

Oga humility abi no be Simmy Seria A again...Haaland will tear Seria A up.

Icon4s:
Closed which gap??
The team is still lagging

Chief longtime o...Yes the gap is closed but lagging cos of Rohr inept.

FIFA clear Ademola Lookman, Ovie Ejaria for Super Eagles…finally
Scorenigeria


RB Leipzig agree £22.5 million for Ademola Lookman
Ademola Lookman can now play for Super Eagles
After several anxious months, world football governing body FIFA have finally cleared Ademola Lookman and Ovie Ejaria to play for the Super Eagles, according to media reports.

Forward Lookman and midfielder Ejaria have previously featured for England at various age-grade levels but have now opted to play for Nigeria, where their parents were born.

Lookman plays for Red Bull Leipzig but was on loan at Fulham in the Premier League in England this past season.

He is a direct-playing forward and weighs in with his own fair share of goals and assists.

Ejaria, on the other hand, is a creative central midfielder with Reading FC in the English Championship.

The 23-year-old player was previously on the books of Premier League outfit Liverpool.

His creativity will be most welcomed in the Eagles midfield with his great vision and wide range of passing skills.

Good news not Ighalo recalling news.

Joebie:
One thing I like about Oliseh.

Only if we can have a consortium of coaches (each handling a special role) consisting of players from that "94 set.
Think Emanalo, Adepoju, Amuneke, Oliseh (if he can work with a team), Siasia (not thinking of his current predicament). in these coaches and a few others, there is scout, tactician, analyst etc.

And why do I say this? Simply, BELIEF. These coaches can translate their "you can beat the best" mentality to our current players who already look up to them. They have done this before in the past when we were one of the best in the world, and today they still don't have an iota of doubt that we can do better things beyond Africa. For them it will be unfinished business.

https://www.hub-soccer.com/2021/06/21/sunday-oliseh-nigeria-has-the-potential-to-be-a-world-champion/

I remember Keshi press conference with journalists before Cote d' voire match Afcon 2013...he said I have Mikel,Enyeama when people were saying can your team beat Cote d'Voire team with Drogba,Yaya Toure.

Rohr just need to improve on his press statement when meeting better team,well what can one say about a coach that is ready to call Ighalo back despite having two good strikers doing it very well every weeks in Europe top five leagues.

Initially the World always see Nigeria as a very arrogant team cos we don't give a damn even if you have Messi and Ronaldo combined in a team but now that confidence is no longer there...the team just need that mentality back.

Subzero047:
Don't worry, when I said the Serie A was poor some mumu said I was insulting Osimhen

Yes seria A has lost it some years ago,Ronaldo signing by Juventus brought some respite to the league.

When Victor Osimehn signed for Napoli I wasn't happy cos I remember Napoli only with Diego Armanda Maradona,nothing more.

I think Osimehn playing for Napoli gave Seria A highly rating here.I can't remember last time Italian clubs won any major Uefa cup,though Italy won euro but I remember Greece won it sometimes ago so sometimes it doesn't reflected state of the league.

Honestly watching EPL,LA LIGA and BUNDESLIGA gave someone perfect reflection of real footballing.

Serial A teams are too negatives in their approaches to the games.

AndSunGorilla:
This is looking like a repeat of the 1982 world cup when Nigeria recalled retired Chukwu and we failed to qualify eventually. Hoping this isn't deja vu?

God bless you...Libya Afcon 82...20 years old Stephen Keshi was sacrificed for old Christian Chuckwu who was recalled to the team and at the end he messed up.

Libya 82 remained our worst outing in Afcon history.

I repeat it nothing new Ighalo is bringing to the table and this decision tells me something is really wrong somewhere....haba with Osimehn,Taiwo,Sadiq,Onuachu,Moffi,Iheanacho and Rohr still believe it's Ighalo.

I'm beginning to understand $2m inserted in Rohr contract as termination benefit if he get sacked.

I hope Rohr end it well cos Nigerians will never forgive Pinnick.
