Having thousands of players in Europe doesn't necessarily mean they are the best for the team. Europe is filled with average players who only leverage on the glamour of the league and playtime to get recognition. The best of our current crop of players began from Nigeria, that alone is testament to the fact that if we put in the work to scout and develop we'll find numerous talents who can play for the eagles.

I don’t understand what that means but from an analytical stand point Keshi mixed both home & foreign based
Keshi’s model is obviously the best to be followed for any country to progress
The coach is the problem not really the players in my opinion.
An example back then Oboabona
In my opinion there should be like at least 10% quota for home based players

wetin Dey kill una and still be a menace and cankerworm in Nigeria as a whole is sentiment and prejudice

Oga like I said before dis una pity and clamour for home based players will never work. It is the duty of grassroots and youth team coaches to discover talents and if this talents do well in competitions they will be recommended to the snr national team coach for him to hv a close look

No right thinking national team coach will ignore players in top leagues in Europe doing well for those back. This can only happen when we lack a decent player in one of the positions in the team

Local based players lacks the basics and exposure to excel in tournament like the World Cup. The so called players aren’t even the best in African club football.

No be the same home based players I watched against Mexico?

humility33:
Bro...no thing like quota system

For sometime now home based players given the opportunity to play always use the privilege of 2 or 3 caps to whisk to obscure leagues abroad.

So bro, what the national team needs is a standing under 23, 20 and under 17 teams that will always be engaged and as well make way for gradual progression. So stop this quota based practises, the best where ever they play should be called and played. The CHAN is there for the Home based eagles to use project themselves to the national team coaches and the world

You will do same if you were in their shoes
So long they perform well when they wear the jersey I see no wrong in that.

Why are people supporting a lazy coach
Oh well let’s give him one last chance at the nations cup

charlesemeka85:
oga football doesn’t work that way

Iceland that kicked England out of euro 2016 end road any of their player reach Rooney?

humility33:
But that's not the work of the national team coach to do

Players domiciled in Europe are exposed to world best academics, training facilities etc so u can't compare them to what obtainable in the NPFL

Yes we have lots of raw talents in Nigeria academics but they need to discover, groom and harness them into cadet teams there after the national team coaches can pick the best amongst the lots after some years

humility33:
U talk as if u know me so well

Never u generalise or assume someone who dont know his drive or goals

More so I want rohr out but your premise or argument for reserve quota for home based players is flawed in my opinion.... even the quota system will be used to call up a player that happens to be boys of the NFF vultures not even the best.

The NPFL players should utilise the CHAN competition well to launch themselves

humility33:
Don't be surprised dude is one of those players in NPFL.

They NPFL have the CHAN competition to explore and launch themselves for better things and also progression upwards into the super eagles

charlesemeka85:
una don start the homebase nonsense again

The snr national is not a grooming ground but for the best any nation can boast of

Na u17 and u20 coaches Dey discover players

A continent that is providing only 5 spot in 54 countries. Anyone that qualifies among those 5 will be with their skin in their teeth. History has shown that anytime Nigeria sacks a coach in a World Cup year, it ends up in abysmal failure

I didn't respond to you initially because you'll rather include personalities in your discourse instead of restricting your contributions to your opposing views. However since you quoted me twice, I'll respond.

First it's ridiculous to think that playing in Europe is the primary metric for success in football. While I agree that playing in a top league helps for exposure, advanced technical practices amongst others, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the only metric for success. The fact that we have a disfunctional league in Nigeria doesn't take away from the myriads of talent we have here. A good coach is able to surgically blend our players in Europe with the very best that we have down here, cause we do. There are players currently plying their trade in the NPL that are better than many in the English premier League. Sometimes it's really not about how good you are, it's about time and chance. Truth is we'll never get to see many good players simply because they never got the chance, it doesn't mean those who play in Europe are better.

This doesn't just apply to football, it applies to every vocation you can think of. There's hardly any hospital in th UK for instance where you don't see a Nigerian doctor or nurse, the paradox however is 95% of them got trained here. Dead that funny narrative that only players on Europe are deserving of the national team call up

andrewbaba44:
Europe is filled with average players ,so Na our Nigerian league ekuke players better pass out European based players ?

Brazil league is one of the best league in the world outside Europe ,but they still call more players from Europe than their league because most of their European players are better then the ones in their league

Joezinho:
I ask one question: Does the citizenship of the coach make a difference in the world today when there are itinerant coaches?

I wouldn't mind NFF hiring Pitso 'Jingles' Mosimane.
