Folks will jump at any opportunity to disparage our talent. The gulf in talent between France and the rest of Europe is big and there simply is no comparison between their players and those of most footballing nations. Lets appreciate what we have. Our pool of players have just concluded their most successful season yet. Although there remains work to be done in some areas, we are most certainly on the right track.

Thank you for this

Nothing dey vex me pass to see "If we had these players..." Posts.

We won AFCON with a bunch of unknown players like Mba, Egwueke and Uzoenyi, defeated teams that had Drogba, Toure, Kalou, and Keita with people that today, you fit no even pick them for 5-aside, yet, someone is still bringing up names of people dancing for teams that could not even carry any decent trophy when they had the best crop of players the world had to offer.

I love the team we have presently, I love our guys and their vibes. I no dey find Saka, Abraham or any of those people. They have chosen their teams, and the people that have chosen us, have chosen us.

Dey for who dey for you, no go dey dream of shenkes wey no send your papa when your loyal babe dey your side.

Odunayaw:

Must some of you always find problem in almost everything?
Not that the guy might even play.
Okay, they have explained before that they can't invite an NPFL player in situation like this because it will take almost a week for their visa to be processed and if that's the case, who should be the best to be called as replacement?
This guy is uncapped at the SE level, I agree, but please tell us the capped player that should have been called as replacement.
The time some of you uses in finding faults in whatever others do, use that same time and energy to make money please

drDoom3:
I was watching Griezmann's goal against Wales today and I realized something. We claim to be improving, with some of the best young players coming up, but we're still nowhere yet. See the way Griezmann casually flew the ball into the top corner. We don't still have players that can be a threat from any position, that can just casually score goals the way Mbappe and Griezmann do. I thought Chukwueze would have improved to fly Robben-esque balls into the top corner, but it seems like his development has stagnated.

Napoleon55:
Safarigirl it's ok ,we on the same page,
Its just that u misunderstood my post because of those names I mentioned.
I was just trying to point out that they don't have right thinking minds and good advisers,that's all,
not that they r better or not,
not that we can't do without them.
We have been winning championships without them.
U wouldn't b so angry if u had seen my points behind those names.
I'm for nigeria home grown,or those FB that genuinely love to play for us without causing drama.
i'm not one of those u were referring to.take care.

Napoleon55:
Oga, i'm proud of our home grown talents more than u think,even more than u.
I was only saying if it were for them to have a right thinking mind which they suppose,
that they inclusion would have given our team more dept.
Not that they were going to win us world cup anyway. that was my take.
I hope u and safarigirl understands the point I was trying to make in order to correct the misconceptions both of had with my post.

Go thru my previous post n u would see where I stated categoricaly that NWAKALI would do better in green and white jersey than EZE and OLISE ,that we should forget about them and bring in Nwakali and the other guy in Rennes,that r guaranteed 100% commitments, since they can't make up their minds on time.
That's to show u how highly I rate our own talents.

I hadly clamour for foreign born players especially from England because I can't really trust them of their 100% commitment at all time,to play with full heart,same passion and dedication like our own,except for OSAZE .
But the truth is that their inclusion would have made our team look more formidable on paper at least.

jihday:
In the whole world only Portugal can rival France talent wise

kennysville:
We will soon find out that talent in a team isnt enough. No matter how star studded france looks right now, it may shock you that they may not proceed beyond 1st round of the Euros or the world cup. Football is played on the pitch, not on paper!

mank1234:
Very true though I'm tipping one of France, Portugal and England to carry the cup.

andrewbaba44:
Same with me as I am also tipping France Portugal ,I am not sure about England but they are good also

But we should not be surprised if none of them wins it

Portugal wasn’t a favorite at euro 2016 ,forget cr7 being there as the squad was filled with average players

maidaboi:
for me England is a world class team

jihday:
Just saw this goal you dey hype, I swear I enjoyed watching Musa/Ighalo link up against Cameroon more than that one. There's nothing really special about the goal. Good goal? yes but something uncommon? No

kennysville:
Er... quick question.
The ones he ballooned nko? How about his near misses? The chances he couldnt convert?

Yeah! Thats why we shouldnt bother about how inferior our players are. Let us appreciate what we have. Lets stop measuring ouselves through the lenses of the west!

drDoom3:
That's the problem.

Curlers from the edge of the 18 yard box are so common these days... You can almost predict them nowadays. That's why it is so surprising that none of our players has been able to hone this ability, considering that they play at the highest levels of football. The closest we have are Iwobi, Chukwueze and Nacho, and they aren't consistent.

Look at football today, there are some players that once they get ball at the edge of the 18, you know a curler is coming up. See Mahrez, Salah, even players like Martial do it with ease.

JohnBullMySon:
Please is the match against Cameroon double legged?

Acecards:
Yes boss... 4th and 8th June I think.

JohnBullMySon:
Thanks a lot.

Melvinity:
I think Amoo Akinwunmi does such with ease too.. Check his games, he scores frequently from curlers

drDoom3:
Frequently is a big word to use here... Considering he has only scored two curlers.

Anyways, I hope he continues developing and becomes the next Insigne. I heard rumors that Leicester were interested.
