if he never came out, most fingers were already pointing to him as one of those players that need to be begged

And is that how to come out. Sincerely that's just too disgusting to watch. No class pure crassness. Attitude and character will take you far in life. That young gangly legged boy from under 17 who we fell in love with, who had a torrid time at Wolfsburg, only to move to Charleroi in Belgium and rediscover his form, moves to Lille and we are so excited about the prospect that is finally coming to bloom. He earned a spot in the 23 man Eagles team
for AFCON 2019 bronze medal side ahead of Kelechi Iheanacho, that was a big call for Rohr at that time,because I heard Kelechi cried when he didn't make AFCON squad.

But we felt both players deserved the fortune at that time. He earned a move to Napoli and all of a sudden he has arrived. It started with the issue between himself and his sisters husband who was sort of his agent before he got fired. Victor and his eldest sister gave their account to the public on what transpired. Family matter, e no concern we super eagles fan. At first it was the maturity of Victors mind through his social media posts, ranging from stale memes , childish tantrums etc on a public figure that he was. But he was not done with social media, when he comes back to Nigeria he will hangout with this Twitter influencers as they call themselves playing 5aside with them. One cannot forget that social media has an array of options to choose from. If you want clout for popularity , you will find it there. Infact , many of Victor's Twitter influencers friends are those who largely thrive on clout for likes and followers. Victor might be a big footballer, but he is still a boy at heart. The boy who hawked in the traffic of Lagos might be suffering some inferiority complex issues. He is lucky though , that he will learn and be better next time .

How many times do you want us to do that? He has been approached twice and he said he wasn't ready, and you think he will suddenly be ready now that he has joined Chelsea?

But why is that guy playing guitar chords on our emotions and heart❤️. He should stop wearing our attires if his heart is not with us. We know he is Nigerian and he has every choice to, but we see he is Nigerian and we call him to play for us , only for him to be turning us down and be wearing Nigerian identities on his social media page.

Katcall:
How do you see that benoise side coached by rohr

They do not have the quality to win the group. But they can build on their win against Nigeria and find the right momentum to ride on. They beat Nigeria on a neutral ground which was supposed to be their home. But don't forget there is also South Africa for them, they lost to south Africa already. And if powerhouse is anything to go by, Nigeria should play better. And if that happens it can upturn the table definitely.

In other news, Beyond Limit that used to be the youth team of Remo Stars until it evolved into its own entity just gained promotion into the NPFL. 3 other clubs including Ikorodu City, Elkanemi Warriors and Nasarawa United all gained promotion into the NPFL next season. We now have 2 new private clubs in the NPFL, hoping that Sporting Lagos do not relegate.

What's more impressive to me is the fact that Beyond Limit did this with young boys. If you know the NPFL, you'll see it's littered with egbon adugbos and players very well advanced in age. Beyond limit however had a young roster and still gained promotion. Kunle Soname is doing fantastic work there.

If this group of kids can go on to qualify for CAF Champions league, it will go on to help change the face of football in Nigeria. They can easily travel to play for better clubs in Europe, help play in the national teams because of the experience they will get playing or qualifying for a caf competition. The journey starts now because once they do, other clubs will be forced to follow their path. That is having young players who look close to their ages playing the Nigerian league. This will help us in our league a lot. A proper 17 or 18 years old guy playing the NPL for a season. What a great level of experience. Gather them up to play under 20 and with early camping ànd see the wonders they will deliver.

He qualified Nigeria to the 2018 Worldcup with a game to spare from a group that has Africa champions Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia.

His team was deducted two points just because of NFF carelessness yet it didn't affect the Super Eagles qualifications.

Qualified Nigeria for the 2022 FIFA Worldcup qualifying playoffs but clueless NFF decided to sack him.

Qualified for the 2019 and 2021 AFCON with games to spare.

We wanted Nigeria to play like Manchester City.

Here we are, no hopes of playing at the 2026 Worldcup.

The sort of balance Rohr gave us protected our goalkeepers. 2019 Daniel Akpeyi couldn't save Mahrez last minute freekick. We switched back to Uzoho, who was average at the world cup in Russia as well. Under Rohr, Okoye had a breakout. Fastfoward from this period. We say Okoye's blunder against Tunisia, we say Uzoho's blunder against Ghana. Rohr might have been lucky but his team's weakness was well managed.

Ppogbae:
How do you lose the man that rebuilt your team and took you to the AFCON finals??

The money way NFF no won spend na him dem go still spend. Penny wise ,pound foolish.

9JAMac10:
Fat headed goalkeeper shears shouting and losing focus when it matters

He did that against Ivory coast in the final and conceded just after that.

BankyGee:
Quick predictions.
I see a 3–0 win.
Lookman goal and assist
Iwobi goal too. The rest na the rest

Hmmm. Omo nawa oo

AndSunGorilla:
Score is reporting that Boniface is starting today, Awaziem and Chuks also starting, also i read their might be a role for Onyedika.

Too many changes for this man.

EEGA:
When it comes to creating chance the Leverkusen side is the best in the Bundesliga last season.

Boniface was not 100% fit which is the reason, he came from the bench.

He had 45 mins on the pitch in a Europa League final but couldn't get on the score sheet.This is down to full fitness.

I think this is the problem with many Nigerians. When they begin to overlook little stats like this and shouting a Finidi or whoever the coach is.

Napoleon55:
Boniface nko,is he not fit enough? or do u think Onuacho is better?
what's ur reason for preferring Onuachu to start ahead of Boniface?
I would like to know.

Onuachu has a better goal sense than these guys. He might be slow which is his weakness but when played to his full strength he is a menace. For club football, his only mistake was his desperation to play in England where he found himself in relagation battling Southampton. Asides that he has consistently shown he has every potential to be a good forward player. I know the national team has no time for all that as we want result instantly. But then, coaches know better. At the last AFCON he was our second choice striker to Osimhen, and not Moffi, there is a consistent reason for that even while Moffi came as an earlier replace for Boniface and Onuachu came later to replace Sodiq. So I tell you, if only we can yield to play to his strength which we saw while he was at Belgium. I dare say no Nigerian player dominated the Belgian league like Onuachu did.

BREAKING🚨

Nottingham Forest will consider signing Ben Brereton.If Taiwo Awoniyi was to leave Forest.And according to reports Forest are considering selling the Nigerian striker.

#NFFc [@MailSport]

Awoniyi is somewhat an injury player too.

BascoVanVeli:
Onuachu had a good game for someone without service. If he had missed opportunities like the one Moffi did I would understand the complaints

Onuachu should start in the next match. It's not like he missed any clear chance. The half chance he headed to the hands of the SA goalkeeper. He was OK. Except the midfielders who came in to influence the game , I didn't see Moffi do much better.

minfelix:
we really clipped SA to rely on counter attack…our second half display brought back the memory of real pressing football….SA were now seating back and looking for counter….we really pressed them in the second half…but winning is all we need oo

Our second half display was reminded me of the super eagles I watched in 2000. My first AFCON. We were full attacking. It was beautiful to see Finidi play that in the second half. I hope we can build on that going forward.

Mujtahida:
He's not the one to forget SE. It is SE that should forget him so he can concentrate on scoring goals for his clubside

Onuachu has a goal today.

You mean we couldn't pay Peseiro what he wanted. Because I'm quite sure that with Peseiro, this game will end in a draw. Here I worry that south Africa might find another goal. Which will make it 2 nil.

Silver bird tv is showing this match na.

EEGA:
Ndidi back in midfield as Frank Onyeka failed a late fitness test.

Ihefu FC of Tanzania player, Benjamin Tanimu will now pair Semi Ajayi at Central defence.

We will miss the dirty works of frank the tank in this match. However Ndidi new found ability to be a B2B player will be helpful.Ndidi can now score and assist.

LoverOfPussy:
Stanley Nwabali
Bright Osayi-Samuel

If this is true then finidi nor serious
Playing Ajayi and Ndidi together
Two guys prone to mistakes

Prone to mistakes and they are not fast . It's already enough having Ajayi in centre back, since Ajayi started his career as a DM all you need was allow him push the ball more while playing him alongside a sturdy natural CB

EEGA:
Starting XI:

Nwabali
Ndidi

Iheanacho

It's a 4-3-3.

Nawa oo, Boniface really needs to be more serious than this comic relief caricature figure he poses as. If Onuachu and lookman who arrived barely three days ago and Iheanacho who had a subpar season could start ahead of him.

Cute Milf

Bad boy

Danielnino00:
Score Nigeria are reporting that Onuachu will lead the attack

Is Finidi thinking he will be the one to cross the balls to Onuachu to head in today.

Senegal and Algeria couldn't win at home. While Mali that beat us in our last friendly couldn't win at home as they lost to the Black Stars of Ghana.

Nawa ooo, Ndidi and Iheanacho of yesterday don turn two most senior players for national team.

ChrisKels:
Look who we have here!!!

Focal point - Carl the son of Ikeme.

Why is he in town. Is it for the Eagles match or for Ekong's exhibition?

This life is really amazing and some people look like they are destined for top no matter what. It's the story of Vincent Kompany in recent times. Winning the Championship with Burleny was a great story, relegated in EPL and now singing as head coach for Bayern Munich seems unheard of. What are the chances and has it happened before, for a manger who has been relegated in a league getting a chance to manage one of the biggest team in the world.

Simmy aka Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo scored a brace for salerintana

charlesemeka85:
Barca, Westham and Juventus interested in Ademola Lookman

West Ham will just be showing interest in Nigerian players above their status. We've happily allowed them go for Taiwo Awoniyi if they wish. Ademola should only play in Italy, maybe for Juventus or Inter Milan

David Moyes failed to realize early how important black players were for him. If only he had enough of them during his days in Manchester United he would have stayed longer. At Everton he had the likes of J. Yobo, Steven Pienaar, Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

At west Ham he has a plethora of black players and he is suddenly seeking for more black with a keen interest on it being a Nigerian player. For now Boniface and lookman are a bit above the club level.

Darell2002:
What does Rome have to do with it

The capital of Italy. Often times it is standard practice to refer to a country by calling it's capital city. Since Atalanta is an Italian team, you can say city of Rome.

Napoleon55:
It's just a subtle dig on Osimhen.
Anything to make Osimhen look ordinary

Oh yeah. I didn't know someone figured this out earlier.

charlesemeka85:
kome na u write this thing Abi dem don hack your account?😳

Abi dem born boni for Chesterfield?😳

I guess you don't know where he is going with that point yet. he was gradually aiming a dig at Osimhen. He has been insisting Boniface can start ahead of Osimhen.

Italian Seria A relagation battle is fierce. Maduke Okoye's Udinese leapfrog to 15 on the table after beating Lecce away.
