Please, please, away with this. Is Uzoho not only one year older? . Besides, that's not the point. Okoye is a ready-made basket. When he's in and there's a dangerous advance by our opponents, he creates the impression that he will fumble it somehow. . This is not to say Uzoho is any better, because I watched our last group game in the nations cup, in which he featured. There was a sequence, where I thought Uzoho was a potential basket too. . But well I just feel bad about how he was kicked out of that position, thanks to Rohr, even though I admit his injury was part of a sequence of events. Fortunately for us, Rohr is no longer in charge, so if the current coaching staff deem it fit to feature him over Uzoho, then maybe they are seeing something we are not.

Oga away with nothing abg.... we just wanna wake up one morning and c Enyeama in the goal post.....you must give the young lad enough playing time/years for him to be formidable... we started enjoying eyeama from AFCON 2006 to AFCON 2010 (penalty heroics) afcon 2013 and stretching down to his retirement days

nelszx:
At least he's in a fine run of form now
Didn't concede a goal in March tells he's doing something right

That's just the main Koko and that's what we need

I'm not totally sold in okoye...but you guys should chill... the guy is doing a good job at his club with his young age... Even inyama has been beaten by cheap goals and set pieces.
1. Angola slapped us in 2006 with set piece
2. Egyptians used short to almost blind Enyeama at afcon 2010 with loads of goals
3. Kenya humbled us (defending champion) with a breathe taking free kick in Calabar
4. Inyama allowed in a very cheap goal against Ethiopia in Addis Ababa World Cup qualifiers.
So you guys you free okoye... He's a young and vibrant goalkeeper for the future starting from the here and now

Just take a lookout at the Ghana version of okoye...wollacot abi wtin b him name... correct basket but yet the ghanaians are so determined that they will beat us on all the social media outlet.... Whereas one of our top Nigerian fan base site nairaland is filled with all sort of pessimist claiming to be football analyst pointing out baseless and dry fault from one player to the other...

I just stop reading some discouraging pessimist on this thread... Some guys here are just god damn self defeatist
If Ghana were the ones to parade oshimen lookman Dennis Chukwueze free-scoring ighalo..I'm sure that guy's here would have start peeing on their body.... Just because of a standby onazi people have already given the game to the ghanaians.. okoye blah blah blah...abg make una getout..you all plastic fans (to the pessimist)

mostob:

Ejuke wey we dey hype here during the qualifiers, suddenly he will have to be dropped for Lookman. Suddenly we don forget Dem Kalu and Olayinka.
May God help us.
Assuming Kareem Adeyemi(if eligible) declared for us tomorrow, na to troway Lookman sharply

The kinda football fans we have here are easily deceived by 1game performance of a player

The following players will surely start against Ghana if inform and regularly playing for their clubs
1. Moses (sure banker)
2. Osimhen (sure banker)
3. Ndidi(sure banker)
4. Ekong(sure banker)
5. Aribo(sure banker)
The rest can start slugging out position with their competitors

PetroDolla2020:
The problem with you nigerians is that you like to boast too much. You guys forget that football is played on the field, not with mouth

Every single time Nigeria is playing Ghana, Nigerians will come out talking big and boasting. But almost every time Ghana had won How many times have Eguavoen won as a coach against Ghana? Was he not the coach when the Black Stars beat Super Eagles 4-1?

Even your goalie trainer Agu or whatever his name is, had his tooth broken during a crucial game at the Kumasi stadium during his playing days. He never found that tooth till today.

As a Ghanaian, I am not losing any sleep over the game with Nigeria. Ghana will win at Cape Coast and get a draw at Abuja. Case closed

Bro Eguavoen defeated your black star in a competitive game and you won him in an inconsequential game

PurpleHouse:
Whenever I see Nigeria's trophy cabinet, I'm not always happy. We should have more than that.

9afcon final appearance 3 trophies...na wa ooo....our eagles of 80's need to be flogged yearly with cane soaked inside kerosene

Football playing styles are
Tiki taka(this happens when technically sound ball playing and joggling personnel are abundant in a team)
2. Ghen Ghen pressing (this happens when a team has energetic speedster from wing, midfield and strike position to keep opponent on a running spree for the entire duration of a game)
3. Park the bus and hit on counter (this happens when a team has conservative personnel who cannot confidently do number 1 football style) boring though but can sometimes largely be interesting and result centred.
So anyone a team picks and it works for them, good luck to them! The one wey work for you na em you go use

jihday:
we are in a better position to host than Cameroon and we aren’t even ready

Bros our boko Haram and other insecurities get PhD as against Cameroon's Bsc...we are not in any better position... shey na road, electricity , however I don keep calm about Cameroon hosting it, but 9ja also not in any better position

TFLASHOGEE:
Senegal doing the lord's work I hope zuchy and his junior brother elneny are celebrating thier own afcon winning in the dream world March here we come Nigeria to show Ghana pepper and if Egypt continue this Salah and inshallah football they should kiss the world cup ticket good bye

Bro you can't just predict them kissing WC goodbye, if the pass to sallah and inshallah could sail them through to the final against top teams like Cameroon, CIV, Morocco then it can also take them to the WC....infact na those kind football they sweet for a 2-legged home and away format....na same tactics them use beat us comot for AFCON 2017....pass to sallah and our AFCON dream of 2017 was shattered

Throw back group stage
Senegal vs Zimbabwe
Zimbabwean supporters club trumpeting Eben's song "Victory"

End of AFCON, now all eyes on WCQ that's gonna be another bloody football showpiece
Nigeria vs Gha(rivalry at its best)

Egypt vs senegal (AFCON final replay)

Mali vs Tunisia (AFCON group stage replay)

Cameroon vs Algeria (Host vs depleted last AFCON winners)

Danielnino00:
Lol.. Bro....

Cameroon is just slightly ahead of Nigeria when it comes to stuffs like human capital development... They have Boko Haram and secessionists oo.. They also have Paul Biya ..
Forget sentiments, South Africa is the only sub Saharan African countries that has the capacity to host the world cup...

Odunayaw:
Same country they had to postpone the tournament to 2021 for because of funds.

that's why I said of they give them enough time they can come out prepared

Danielnino00:
It isn't just by stadiums o.. They need world class infrastructures!. We are talking about five star hotels in every host cities, convenient mode of transportation, security, and not to mention plenty of money..
A world cup is like a festival... It goes beyond just playing in the stadium..
South Africa experienced a lot of upgrades in it's infrastructure when they hosted the last world cup..

Cameroon is not a poor country ooo, they should be able to provide all those crieteria if given the chance to host...they jus need a little touch of upgrade upon this AFCON to host a successful WC

Odunayaw:
Criteria for stadiums, hotels, transit, and communications and electrical grids. Infact meeting the criteria for each is necessary for even bidding or at least proof of commitment.

SA spent $4bn on WC preps in 2010. Does Cameroon have that money (it would be more now)

You ask if a whole Cameroon has such money to spend, why won't they have?
SA didn't jus provide the $4bn in a day na, it took them years to prepare for 2010 WC..

Stormtrooper11:
Yes, I agree on the that but Cameroon can't host the world cup. Compare their stadiums to Qatar's. It's not just it

Looking at all the stadium that hosted AFCON matches, I think they are all top notch, they may not be up to Qatari standard..
Olembe
Garoua
Japoma...I can't remember all their names, but I think they are all good stadium to host world cup games

Odunayaw:
So that's all it takes to hold a World Cup

But nawa o

Bros oya still educate me on more criterias

Congratulations Senegal...salah loosing two finals

Stormtrooper11:
Those aren't the qualifications to host a world cup

This AFCON so far is a better organized 24teams AFCON in all ramifications

Stormtrooper11:
World Cup? Nah

They have good tournament ambiance and also good pitches

Cameroon are ripe to host world cup.

andrewbaba44:
If na there e go end then I pray Morocco wins it

Let it be Morocco or Tunisia, they both have jus one afcon trophy each

mostob:
why didn't he defend against Argentina during the last 10 minutes so we could reach the knockout?

Bros Even our best golden era couldn't hold Argentina when the game was 1-1, na this era you want us to draw them....we defended but the pressure was too much to handle

Odunayaw:
I'm glad you said we are different people. Also we have a right to what we expect. No hard feelings.

All I know is, Seek ye first good football and all other things will be added onto you

Iffa hear say I get hard feelings
"The kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent taketh it by force" whether it's defensively

safarigirl:
LOL

I have never in my life seen such an argument in defense of a coach. Never

No be everyone go get same ideology towards football....and Neither of us can say one is right over the other....I defend the coach based on what he has achieved with us and in his playing style

codemaniacs:
SE lost the match because they wanted to play defensive football.

The plan was to score first and defend which is also the plan the Tunisians came with and when the Tunisians noticed it and also noticed the inferiority complex of the SE they started to attack..

The super eagles I watched yesterday didn't play to defend, from the blast of the whistle we started attacking via Moses wing...jus that he was caged.

safarigirl:
We have played worse games and come out with something

It is not like we even faced quality teams before we jam Algeria in that AFCON, and once again, Rohr was fired because of a drop in performance. A drop in performance, means we were not even playing as good as we were playing in that AFCON

I honestly don't know how some of you look at your teams, but I do not think of a coach we do not have anymore, and say "He could have done better", because I know that retrospectively, people tend to look better than what they really were. The Rohr of 2019, is better than the Rohr of 2021. We all saw it, everyone saw it, we all noticed the difference in play. That things did not work out does not suddenly make Rohr any better.

Rohr was rightly fired when he was, and this loss to Tunisia will not have me thinking otherwise.

Cameroon was a quality team we met before we played Algeria... Algeria won us with an individual brilliance football, not like there was a onet-two play or a shot that led to goals against us.
Rohrbof 2019 is better than Rohr of 2021, but the fact remains he is still the Rohr we employed, meaning he lost something somewhere that could still be found and make him the Rohr we employed... anyways that brings to fact that we can't get a perfect coach.....even if we get herve Renard, I'm sure his first "as usual first time new coach"impression will becloud our reasoning and when he stays 2/3yrs his flaws will begin to reveal

Odunayaw:
Your preaching is not accepted. In fact you're shooting yourself.
NFF have expectations, fans have expectations of the football they want to see.

We want good football and we can never have a perfect coach or perfect squad as you rightly said. We're sticking to who we choose; good football.

Thank you

Brother, remove your mindset and target view from 1994 eagles set...
Anyways we are different people in Nigeria Sha, I belong to the "we want trophy regardless of what we play football"

zuchyblink:
What matters is result, Rohr met us when we were ranked 16th in Africa and left us at 4th that means we were gradually and consistently moving forward. The main target is result not fancy game. They have brought us back to the time of Siasia, Eguaveon and Oliseh

Thats it bro....wetit concern Mourinho and beautiful football..."oga play rubbish and give me trophy....Di matteo use defensive football carry champion league ...but anyways let still support any coach coming in especially the one giving us what we want

12large1:
Maybe, it would had been better if we had drawn or lost our final group game in order to humble ourselves ahead of the quarter final game. Our 100% group stage record totally initiated an arrogant attitude at the SE and made us pompous. We underrated/undervalued the Tunisians and believe that, we had won prior to the on set of the match.

That was the logic that helped us in 2019...loose to Madagascar and shock Cameroon
