Danielnino00:
But you advocated for Peserio to be hired after Rohr was sacked


Funny enough,you made a U-turn on your support for Rohr...

You remember too bro? I'm shocked seeing his post now sef..

charlesemeka85:
una never see anything. I still maintain that if rohr remained the team for qualify for world and even faired better

Abeg.... The same Rohr

Now I see why some referred to Aribo as a forward. He has not contributed anything so far in this game. I won't mind Onyeka or Etebo in his place.

Akpoguma should come off for Awaziem of he is not ready to play... Ekong sef get network today.

I think Portugal's defence are not that strong..our problem is getting the ball to the final third.

Bright has been bright so far.. but I'm just not happy his attacking prowess has not been exploited so far.

Simon has been good so far whereas Lookman has been quiet. I won't blame him though..he didn't see much of the ball.

And can they just come out and press for God's sake... Chai

AndSunGorilla:
I didn't know the Messiah had already come (lol). He would solve all the teams problems, from goalkeeping to throw-ins

ehn ehn.... Like he will just play the CK and afterward run to the box to head it in...

Deltamani:
Yeah both can play together but they’re like for like kind of player…
I wish the So called Randy will play Halimatu Ayinde in her usual Box to Box or Central Midfield, she’s a good passer… Leaving her to cover the Back 4 is kind of limiting her a little as Coach Florence Omagbemi used her as a Central Midfielder, Rita Chikwelu Defensive Midfielder and Okobi as AM…

Apart from what you mentioned here, Ayinde also has eyes for key passes. How do you see a Midfield of Otu-Ucheibe-Ayinde in triangular formation with Otu at the base?

typicalgamer:
E really pain me for the guy. Like this is the saddest moment of his life right now. Imagine what he would be feeling right now. You can literally touch your dreams.

Everybody won impress coach na cause am.
Look Argentina training you don’t touch or go near Messi same thing with Neymar and Ronaldo

e pain me too bro. I imagine how he will be feeling now.

Deltamani:
Seee ehhh Christy Ucheibe and Regina Otu both are typically same kind of player (like for like), They go hard on the ball and very energetic… But with Ucheibe recent performance i will have to pick her ahead of Otu…

Sharing a 100% between them right now it wound be Christy Ucheibe 55% and Regina Otu 45%

Both can play together. seems Otu is more defensive of the two.

typicalgamer:
Go to YouTube and view the video before saying false narratives here. He injured himself nobody did anything

I was wrong bro... I've watched that video several times again.. cama didn't do anything.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
some retired players do come back to play professional football

True... But what if Pique doesn't come back to play.

BascoVanVeli:
Camavinga didn't do anything wrong. That's just the sad part of football

Yea..I think I was wrong....I watched the video again and it's just an harmless tackle from cama. Cama clearly won that ball and Nkunku slipped which might have led to the injury.

isan:
Who's this Tigernut ?

Tagnout

hopefulLandlord:
Players do come out of retirement, Like Paul Scholes. Also Pique announced his retirement, he hadn't really retired. he could make a U-turn anytime now however unlikely that might be. also these players earn too much for any form of fine to affect them.

It is true but the ban will still be meaningless because there I probability he may not play football again.
Anyway, heard he will not touch anything called ball for 4 weeks due to the ban...even joggling football in his sitting room will count as an offence

Deltamani:
Regina Otu

This girl is still raw and her potential is still untapped as far as super falcons is concerned. Ucheibe was also in the same situation before that 2nd AWCON game.

Deltamani:
What is Oparanozie doing…

she probably wanted to nod the ball but that girl flipped her hair to block Desire's vision.

Deltamani:
If you watch the German Ladies play you would know that they value their energy and aggressive style of play so much… So energy wise na general something but we owned it

Yea... Probably why they are sometimes referred to as German machine.

ThePresenceWtf:
I know that, but she's not "one of the Very Few". A majority of NSWL/FA WSL players are college grads and some even holds masters degrees or double degrees. eg Former Everton GK, Lizzie Durack is an accountant, and she quit football to go work for a fortune 100 investment bank ( Goldman Sachs)
Nadia Nadim is already a medical doctor, been shadowing in Surgery since 2020 and got her license to practice this year....Bethany England from Chelsea is studying law , Eni Aluko was practicing law while playing for Chelsea too etc.

The US has their college program which gives these women an opportunity to have careers outside of football ( Most of whom have degrees and 2nd careers) , thats also how they Produce their athletes in all sports sector.
In UK, they have a " Dual Career Scheme" for women too, which helps them become college graduates and to pursue another career, That's part of the reason their women's football have grown exponentially over the past couple of years, Australia too. The Dutch and The Germans have had similar projects for over a decade too and you can tell by the standard of football in those countries.

I mean women's football only became professional in Europe's top 5 league around 2015-2018, and their professional contract duration is still capped at 3yrs at a time.
So yes, dual career is very much a common thing in female football/amongst female footballers.

But i'm happy for Michelle and hope she continues to Pursue her dreams, Med School and the whole residency thing isn't easy...Wishing her all the luck in the world.....She's one hell of a beautiful young woman � �



I'm sorry if this reply is too long, unnecessary and out of place. �

Not long boss.... We learn everyday

daveP:
Tigernut was hot in wafcon too na. But game of endurance and experience vs Falcons proved she has a long way to go. We'll see. Small space wey Tiger get, prey don give up.

Bro...that's not what we're saying now. Of course the girl is good and I even said it during the AWCON.
You mentioned her energy .... In other words, her workrate and fitness.

Deltamani:
I wonder what he was thinking saying no Superfalcon players can match her in those aspect… Energy wise She doesn’t even come close to any of the 3 you mentioned… Only Ucheibe carry 3 people strength…

That is even what we're known for in Nigeria especially... Our football model is built on energy. We no dey tire

Amedino99:
as long as Santos still lives and breathe as the coach of Portugal cr7 will always be on the starting line up in the world cup.

You're right

Amedino99:
I remember saying this when the news that we will play Portugal came out. Finished or not they are not ready to risk their talisman over a friendly match few days to the tournament.

Not like he is going to put up a top performance anyway... They better keep him away from that starting lineup for their own good.

Nkunku ruled out of world cup. Replaced by Koko Muani.

Nawa for Camavinga o...he just ruined someone's big dream.

fabyom:
Sorry sir, I didn't say anybody regressed. Enyeama was in goal against Tunisia at AFCON 2004 and 2006 penalties shoot out.

Ok

andrewbaba44:
Lewandowski don chop 3 games ban

Will miss games against espanyol and ATM ,the real Betis game will be rescheduled

We should have no problem in handling those bums like espanyol and ATM

Heard Pique's is 5 matches. Person wey don retire

Imagine serving ban in retirement. We too dey overrate this people sef.. The most logical thing would be to fine him.

fabyom:
That was when they were both playing at Enyimba. At the National team level Enyeama was undisputed, penalties or not.

You can't be too sure sir. Just because the coach doesn't do the usual last minute substitution doesn't mean Aiyenugba has regressed. Moreso I think Ejide was majorly Enyeama's deputy then..

isan:
Good player mostly doesn't make a good coach

I agree...but my post is not about who would make a successful coach and who would not. What I'm talking about is who is likely to coach and who is not. Know the difference...
And they are just assumptions anyway. I was not even aware that Franny now has a badge.

lovewins:
She's not a doctor YET. Alozie is fortunate to be one of the very few to pursue both of her passion at the same time. I think what's left for her to do is to go to medical school.

She intends to go to medical school once she's done professionally with football. Having the opportunity to work with a pediatric oncologist while playing football is darn fortunate.

Very lucky... She would have gain a lot by just working with the pro. If she later goes to medical school, all those academics will just be mere formalities and paperwork.

lovewins:
You've posited this argument twice now and I still can't place it. How do people who are capable of coaching look like? You said Chikwelu and Ebi "no resemble person wry sabi coach".

Coaching is primarily a skill that can be learnt. That's why we have certifications and schools for it. These skills doesn't necessarily have to be learnt formally, it can also be learnt by apprenticeship (i.e. informally). That's why some of the best coaches necessarily didn't have a glamorous football career. They are also usually very unassuming.

It is secondarily about inspiring others to live up to thier potentials, it's about having the knack to put together a team of persons to achieve a common goal.

Just like any other discipline, football is a profession, giving the right resources and environment the aforementioned have a chance of becoming great coaches. They don't have to "look like it", they just have to learn it.

oh...bro, all I said were assumptions not facts. All are based on what I've observed so far and it is assumptive because I don't have the power to shape the future. Trust me, it will delight me to see our ex-internationals dominate not only the coaching sector in Nigeria but also the football bodies(NFF, LMC) .
However, l like the question you posed and I'll respond in detail.

There are some things I have noticed in some managers and coaches that do give off the clue that they might do well in management.
1. Leadership quality
2. Playing position. (Strikers rarely go into coaching; midfielders controls and understand the game better so most of them do go into coaching; defenders too have the leadership quality and they read the game better so it might help their coaching quest too)
3. Performance (this is not so valid because poor players do make better coaches but can't be ignored)
4. Mental strength
5. Communication
There are others (skills) too which I might have not noticed.

Coaching badge and licence are not always enough. Coaching is more than just receiving lectures and doing assignments which is why most coaches do struggle in their early coaching days. They still need something off-book, something more deeper and more important than mere badge. Infact, someone can be successful as a coach without a badge.

Like I said earlier, my posts were not made in mockery but just from what I observed.

ThePresenceWtf:
Michelle Isn't a Doctor, but rather a research Tech. She studied molecular biology in college and I believe she works as a Pediatric Oncology lab tech.

thank you for the correction boss. I just know she has something to do with medical stuff.

daveP:
Tigernut
Her current energy and flow, i won't lie, nobody get am for Waldrum's team. Maybe Alozie.

How sweet it will be seeing our ex-ints coaching CafWCL teams in coming years. It will be great.

So far, I'm impressed with the Competition. It's overwhelming.

Yea...I will really love to see our ex-internationals in the coaching role too. Not only for CAFWCL but also in our league.

I don't think Tigernut has the most energy and flow in that Morocco team bro not to talk of falcons. Ucheibe, Payne and Ayinde are those that can currently match her when it comes to fitness and energy flow.

jihday:
I’ve not seen Arthur but I’m sure he’s better than Hein, even me sef better pass Hein

Hein is not that bad bro.. he is an international goalkeeper already.

daveP:
Maybe Ordega Alozie


Tagnaout go climb podium for Caf footballer of the year soon. Gree? Top 3 especially.
As for coaching badge, i dunno why the speed of the badge in active players isn't as trendy among CAF women's top 3 teams like elsewhere. Sad reality truly

Alozie is a Doctor outside football so I don't think she would really venture into coaching. Ordega? Heard she has a coaching license now so....I'm really surprised cos she doesn't look like someone who is capable of coaching.

Tony Payne might coach sha cos she understands the game...reason why she always put up a tip performance irrespective of where she is played.

And Yeah... My 'Tigernut' has the talent and the chance to climb the podium. But the competition will be stiff...

jihday:
Enyeama is clear

Bro... But Aiyenugba was always subbed in then anytime the game entered penalty.
