Can CAF just kick this two out already??

JohnBullMySon:
Ok, when I watch games especially Naija, I try to monitor players' performance and abilities. Now let me use an example from this last two matches to drive home my point.

Uzoho and Okoye both faced a similar chance to their lower left at close range, medium speed.

Okoye faced a header to his lower left from a Benin player, he parried the ball out for a corner.

Uzoho faced a similar ball to his lower left as well, now instead of parring the ball out for a corner, he pushes it straight to a second Lesotho player who drives the ball straight into the net. Had the player not been offside, it would have been a goal for Lesotho.

Wth??

Okoye faced a weak header he should probably have saved and Uzoho faced a well taken free kick. I don't think that's a fair comparison

benji93:
Ofcourse he can pass, to the nearest person 10 yards away.

Like the ten yards pass he gave to iheanacho against Burnley

Lmao. Benin dey vex because Sierra Leone is paying them back in their own coin

benji93:
No. [b]He's lacking in a lot of aspects to warrant that tag. [/b]Well-above average, surely. Borderline superstar, maybe I'll take that.

Lmao

Oya which aspect. Abi you are part of the "Ndidi cannot pass" crew

DrKlever:
Osimhen has good work rate but [b]extremely wasteful in front of goal. [/b]Iheanacho and Onuachu would have scored most of the chances he fluffed.

The reason he had those chances in the first place was because of his press and him getting into good positions

Subzero047:
I will say it again

Ebuehi is FAR better than Aina

You no lie my brother

benji93:
Superstars? It's only Nigerians that can refer to some players barely above average superstars. Calm down.

Ndidi will definitely pass as a super star

JohnBullMySon:
In terms of finishing. Sentiments aside, he is. Other areas, Osimhen trumps him.

Yeah. I think I'll agree

Osimhen is probably more complete. Either ways. It's good for us having guys who can offer different things

Them sha want make Musa reach this 100 Caps

DrKlever post=100340431:
It's a shame our captain can't even give simple pass to save his life. Awaziem should come in for Ekong. Onyekuru should come in for Etebo then Iwobi should switch to 10.

It just seems like anytime he attempts a long pass, he gives away possession

JohnBullMySon:
Iwobi hasn't been poor

I'm one of those quick to defend him buh based on today's performance, Iwobi was probably our worst player on the pitch in the first half

Iwobi definitely has been poor today.

Our performance as well hasn't been good enough. We dey play like say na 1st set, second set we dey play.

Tyrone is gold abeg.

And for Ekong ehn... In 2021 this guy cannot still use his legs.

Team Sheet

So Madagascar will miss next year AFCON. Wow

maidaboi:
Ndidi, Osimhen and Zaidu are the only players that can break into that line up

Lol. Amad has only scored one goal all season. I'll pick any of our wingers ahead of him for now cos he has barely played for the first team. And I'll probably still pick any of Uzoho or Okoye over their goalkeeper.

andrewbaba44:
Zaha and Nicolas pepe will start for the eagles

Wily bolly and Eric Bailey will also start at eagles defense

Aurier will also start at eagles

Zaidu sanusi is better than all their left backs

Frank kessie will also start for eagles

Jean akpa Akpro of lazio nko ? Maybe we can argue this

Iheanacho osimhen over any of their CF

I will also take our GKs over theirs

Kpom

You no dey suger coat things jare. We probably edge them based on depth sha

JohnBullMySon:
Yeah, Kalu ain't even a starter. Henry over Chuks, Which Henry pls?

Kalu isn't a starter??.

It's only because of Injuries he has missed a lot of games

charlesemeka85:
Former England U21 skipper Nedum Onuoha has claimed that he did not turn down the opportunity to play for the Nigeria national teams, and has explained why he didn't accept a call-up to play for the Super Eagles fourteen years ago.

Born in Warri but raised in England, the Manchester City academy product was contacted by the Nigeria Football Federation in the weeks leading up to the 2010 World Cup but he shunned their advances.

Former Super Eagles manager Shuaibu Amodu also tried to persuade the dual-eligible center back to switch his allegiance from England to Nigeria in 2009 but was unsuccessful.

German manager Berti Vogts, who coached the Super Eagles 2007-2008, named Onuoha in his first provisional squad in 2007, only for the player to decline the invitation.

In an Instagram Live session with our colleagues Team Nigeria UK, Onuoha explained : "For the first five years of my career, I played for the U20s and U21s of England and the only time I got a call up for Nigeria in my career was from Berti Vogts when he was manager and this was in 2010.

"I got a call up from him saying he wanted me for the AFCON and at that time Roberto Mancini had just become manager at Man City and I was out of his plans and Berti was calling just before the turn of the year.

"This was the first time it happened that I wasn’t part of the first team. I didn’t want to leave and I was worried about leaving for AFCON and having nothing when I come back because people say this is a shop window, it raises your profile and for some people it’s not the case."

Onuoha revealed that he is proud of his Nigerian heritage and to buttress his point, the 34-year-old sensationally claimed that he never sang England's national team whilst on Young Lions duty.

"At the time I was 24 years old, this is what I’m thinking cause I was honest with Berti that I wanted to do it but it wasn’t just the right time.

"From that exact moment, nobody from Nigeria called me again and I was hearing from everywhere that I had turned Nigeria to beg for England.

" But if you look at it anything the media has said wasn’t true and to add to it I know my identity and I was honored to represent England but anytime I got to play for England I would never sing the anthem because I know my home is somewhere else.

"So I appreciated what I was doing and I was given because I’ve the British passport but I always have the green passport and playing for Nigeria is something I’ve always wanted to d," Onuoha concluded.

What's the need for this shalaye-ing

South Africa can host this two groups

South Africans dey vex

omo Sudan don net

Kome in the mud

andrewbaba44:
E no really get doubters nah

Apart from the one wey say Fulham better pass Porto

jihday:
Not DRC but Congo

Thanks for the correction

JohnBullMySon:
Go and check our group layout when we lost the last two times. Try and appreciate, don't always criticise as if you know better.

That was a 16 team tournament with one team qualifying from the group.

The first group had DR Congo and SA

The second had Egypt.

Now which of the teams in the current group comes close to any of this teams??

12large1:
This Rohr guy must have some Goodluck touch in qualifying us for Tournaments. It hasn't been this easy since the 90's dude qualified us again with 2 games to spare

Guy rest

On top 24 team competition??


Grouped with Lesotho and Sierra Leone??


It would have been abominable If we didn't qualify from this group particularly with our current crops of players

fabyom:
How are we sure this Iwobi Covid thing is not a set-up by the Benin republic officials?

I wouldn't doubt this, we saw this in the CAF club competitions as well

Subzero047:
Nigeria will chop goals with Ndidi, you be learner?

Help us tell him

Samueltemi337:

Famocious:

Nwanne , longest time.

Those Albanians , Armenians etc are very proud and patriotic country men. They have long history with the country that glued them to the land. As for Nigeria , the country is trash , as in , smelly latrine. Anybody that claimed to be proud of Nigeria is either an employee of the government who is stealing the country dry or the person is just a rettard.

What's this pls??
