Ignatio: Only in China will you see this.
I thought the air passage should be facing down.

thank you , even the man is at risk ,of any particle can easily drop in there(even the hair cream or oil for from his hair ) i wish they know what the eyes does to the nose .


good job , but you can do better than this!

Weldone Enyeama , keep d good work , I know u will attract clubs in the England premiership soon , just that age is not on ur side ....

Abasi ayaya! I enjoyed his programme when ever I am in the morning traffic .

Oh! They "ve finally decided the day they will like to recieve the beating ... Walya antelope is in trouble ....

I wish u summarized the whole epistle , I will like Moses to play along side with Suarez ... Wishing him a nice game as they crush their rivals .

If this Italian guy can give out a fake urine , then someone must have added some chemical substance to Usain Bolt urine , the result of his dope test needs to be questioned .... Oyinbo and magomago.

This thing should be one step @ a time , let this be after we have qualified ....

Sagamite: They lack the brilliant individual stars.

The main stars in the team are Mikel and Moses. Mikel is a regular that is only a regular in Chelsea because he does not play in a strategic position. Moses is a bencher.

Now that leaves them with the "team" angle.

They are not that much of a fantastic team even though they are not bad.

Now looking at the team, a number of issues can be highlighted:

- they are not a confident enough bunch. The type that even if they are losing, they would have their heads up and show you they can comeback.

- they don't play fast enough. The quick passes and pace that can make a team dominant. Look at these Colombians and see the pace of their game:

The only fast-playing players are Moses, Echiejile and Musa. Musa is one of the most senseless players one can come across, so I would write him off immediately. He can dribble and dribble and then blast the ball back to his own keeper. That is how senseless he is most times.

Playing a slow game would make a team, especially strong ones that we would meet in the WC, be able to coordinate and repel any attacking formation. You need to play fast to disrupt and cause panic. We just don't do that frequently enough at the moment. Maybe because we are parading 30 - 33 year olds as 24 - 27 year olds.

- And if we decide to play slow, we don't have a team with the technical superiority to hold on to possession and dominate.

- We are hopeless in set pieces. If you cannot take advantage of set pieces in the WC, expect to struggle because you will not get many chances. Our freekicks and corners are appalling. Only Moses knows how to take corners.

To summarise:

- We don't have the top players.
- We don't have the type of team that can be dominant.
- Can't take cheap opportunities.

That does not mean they are a bad team, I just don't think they are a super team and I would bet the three teams I named before would beat them.

Well i will agree with u to an extent, but to that of play speed , the eagles increase the tempo of their games based on the strength of their opponent and it has really helped us in the past , we got punished against Uruguay and spain due to slow recovery rate of our wing back they leave gaps in behind which was exploited by good counter attack displayed by the Uruguay's and the spaniard . This Ineffectiveness of our wing back has cost us a lot if u watch Cavani's goal and suarez 's goal came from lack of concentratration of our wing back , especially our right back , Like u have mentioned the Eagles lack of precision at set pieces is worrisome as well. The Eagles earned a slew of corners and free kicks against their recent opponents , Uruguay , spain , and malawi none of which were effectively utilised. In tight games against disciplined defences, the difference between victory and defeat, could be a well executed set piece routine. Obviously something the Super Eagles are particularly not too proficient in. More work is needed on the training ground. The competition in the team is good and it will give room for improvement .


. .... I agreed with most of ur points but I wish we play a friendly match with any of those 3teams u have mentioned .

And don't forget , super eagles is still under rebuilding process and with time we will become indomitable .

Gunners can do better than man city .... I hope to see MOU boys to cut their own portion of the premier league cake ...

Sagamite: Compared to Portugal, Nigeria has no hope.



Omeruo as never played for Chelsea, so to me, he is not in Chelsea.

Thanks for the Odems one though.

I wish I can wait till after we qualify for the World Cup before replying this post ... But let me be a bit optimistic .... Can u list out what you think the present super eagles lack ... That can deny them a place in d World Cup "super team" ....

Belgium has big names , but if they don"t have good team work it will definately boils down to the way they played in the past World Cup .... What will really count in d next World Cup is good team spirit ,big names does 't win match again ...

Donyswit: Mikel Obi scores a goal? This obviously is end time tins, rushes to d bath room for a quick shower

I hope u will bath naked ! Don"t come back to Nairaland to tell us u forgot to take off ur clothes while bathing because mikel scored ...lol

It "s a good sign that World Cup is coming to Africa and Nigeria will bring the World Cup ....wirh time ,those in the academy will mature and become the best legs in the world , and they will come and play for their fatherland ...expect nothing less than the World Cup when they "re fully matured .

siddiq202: I thought I will see a 45-man list lol

NFF technical committee, I see you

Why you saw the 45 man list was because of the friendly match against burkinafaso after the qualifier ...

Sia1 should go for more coaching course and learn rudiments of modern football ... By then he will attract other African country .maybe after his success with he can start a bid again for SE

.

" luck is what happened when preparation meet opportunity " eagles are lucky enough to be playing against the Waya Antelope , lets seize the opportunity to beat them silly ... As we cruise the Ethiopians to Brazil 2014 .


May ou r key players be injury free !

eddiebruk: I sure say na these people bring that news about Disadvantage of Coca Cola, so you wan Tarnish the image of coca cola just to increase the demand for bear with these Cheap lies...? Olo ri buru ku.



Last Bullet: Dem no dey use power dey stand prick

The truth is that , the only substance that is competing with coca cola is water ....

Very funny , I could nt pronounce it , I think a reading aid application will help me out ...lol

.

Nigeria is producing more of centre defenders this days , we need wing back .



Congratulations boy ... U will excel and become one of the world best in cash and on the field of play .lol

byrron: In the phone interview aired on UK-based African television show, Keshi was quoted to have said, “I think the coach of Malawi is crazy. If he wants to talk to FIFA, he should go back to Belgium. He is not an African person, he is a white dude, he should go back to Belgium.”

Hmmmmmm, if the above quoted words doesn't sound racist to most commentators in here, nff and nigerians at large then we are all doomed!

These comments are racist in nature and fifa will surely sanction our national team coach but the magnitude of the sanction is yet to be decided.

Keshi's choice of words as a response to d malawian coach allegations abt the security situation in calabar was purely out of point and sadly that's hw most of us that are nigerians respond to issues- we don't address the issue but rather we attack the personality of the person while we completely digress from d issue in question.

Hw does calling on d malawian coach a white dude that is not an african and should go back to belgium answer the security allegation made by the mawian coach? That response was totally brainless.

Let's be rational and objective here, supporting a wrong and negative remarks of mr keshi does not in anyway come close to been patriotic- dats a collective and deliberate stupidit-y.

We should all know how to stick to issues and not to weep up sentiments- dis one has backfired.

I pray and hope that the penalty wldnt be so detrimental to our victory and eventual participation of the world cup proper come nxt year!

Reppn team Objectivity all d way.

Oga , if we keep quoting ourselves , @ the end of the day we will derail this thread and attack ourselves on this forum . Do you know that this ur comment is not polite enough to correct the remarks of Keshi ?

U can read through again u will realised that no one is perfect in life ...

#pidgin# If to say oga Keshi use pidgin for that interview with bbc , all dis kasala of racism for no dey , them for look for interpreter .

That racist remark was"nt intentional .

Keshi Oya apologies to Uncle Tom , u done win am already. Go and sin no more...


I don"t think u will escape some match ban (duration unknown) and fine by FIFA .

The fact is that MOU is losing focus , this is not the time for him to rotate player .

donem: Its Fun to see Chelsea loose 3 consecutive games, and i see more coming

When is Chelsea playing with Arsenal ?

... This is the time Arsenal needs to catch them young , when they are toothless...lol

jmoore: Breaking news>> Abrahimovic sacks Mourinho.

By then , it will not be a breaking news , it will be a stale news Because we all know it will happen soon ...lol

Nice advice! We should start scouting for more defenders... But Godfrey Oboabona still remain our present best , with time , he will get a good playing time ...but the opportunity for Keshi to invite more new legs is after the play off, that "s after we have qualified .



More friendly matches and after the chan championship in South Africa will give more room for our home based players to come out and proof themselves that they are ready to play in Brazil .... The truth is we still have more time let"s finish with the antelope(Ethiopia) , we will know what"s next for us ...

I still support the use of calabar (aka. The slaughter ground) we don"t need to weigh other option @ this point .... Just go for what has been working for us .... And after the playoff we can consider using the refurbished stadium in Abj .... Go super eagles !!!!

I am happy with all these excuses pls let us play the match in our usual slaughter ground (calabar ) ...

Yes , it "s not going to be an easy match for the super eagles considering the altitude , but we don"t need new legs ... All we need is to play our game and get the required 3points in Adisababa .

This verdict is d final ! Cape Verde should be preparing for 2016 nations cup and 2018 World Cup ...

BJ shld calm down ,the super eagles is gradually improving , the slow game is our style , we increase the tempo of the game when there is need for it ... It "s our tradition to play in a slow pace .


And we don"t need to impress B.J ... All we need to do is to play our style and win all our opponents ....


#My dream#
I wish eagles success that after the World Cup in 2014 , everyother coaches in the world will want to study our style ...that on print media , Internet and radio , even sky sport news , will tag eagles "slow,steady, but a dangerous team to play with ... If not for success of Spain .. Tiki -taka would have been swept under the carpet .
