James Rodriguez from Columbia in 2014
Diego Forlan from Uruguay in 2010
I followed that tournament
Probably watched most of the games

Real Madrid went for James after that performance
Madrid ended up destroying that guy’s potential like Mourinho did to Mikel

Whenever people want to partake in such shady behaviour, it almost always works against them eventually

Imagine they enter the top 5, only to be paired with DRC, those ones go come win them.

Very shameless of them to want to be this shady.

If they cannot win the teams currently in Top 5, then, they certainly do not deserve that World Cup slot.

The only teams I'm scared of in that Top 5, are Senegal and Algeria, the rest, I no send. I fear Cameroon and Ghana more than I even fear them.

Sincerely speaking I would want to go with u on dis...looking back at d years we av been employing foreign coaches...let us juxtapose deir achievement with our local coaches..is dere any much difference? So y waste tax payers money to bring someone who we can easily get d same quality in here with lesser amount?....henceforth,my support is for a local coach to take over from rohr.

Where is Jorginho world Cup medal

Neobulletzz:

Show Busquet individual award

TheGoodJoe:


Not my pick at all. I think we are old enough to lead ourselves. Enough of the white men experiment. Let us give our local coaches a rotational four years plan. You only keep your role if you perform well in four year and lose your role if you perform poorly in two years. No sack in between that two years.

Amunike goes first.

Finidi second

Oliseh third.

teamoneline:


Can't these coaches start from the league? If a coach can win the league like 2 times we give that coach the job. Why experiment with eagles?

The current Ajax coach was Bayern B coach. I think he won the division two with Bayern B. Please amunike and co should go and show their worth in the league fess.

TheGoodJoe:


Thank you.

When I think back of the coaches we have had and how they may have done better than some foreign coaches, it seems we are short changing ourselves.

Musa Abdullahi who was the coach of the Atlanta 96 team. Bonfere was the tactician, even though he was head coach, but Musa Abdullahi was the man that got those boys ticking. His COJA team might be one of the fiercest team to wear the Nigerian jersey in a competition. They went the tournament to the finals without conceding a goal. We lost in the finals due to unpaid bonuses and poor treatment. But that man got that team playing ball.

He also coached that Trinidad and Tobago U17 that was mean. Opabunmi, Temile, Akpan Bassey and others. That man could coach but never had the chance to coach the Super Eagles.

When you think of Coach Monday Sinclair, Stephen Keshi, Fanny Amun, Amodu Shuaibu, Sylvanus Okpala, Kashimawo Laloko, and co. I believe we can do this if we have the passion to support our coaches.

TheGoodJoe:


Why are you guys so comfortable experimenting with foreigners like Rhor and Trousierre but are so frightened to experiment with a Nigerian?

Wasn't Keshi an experiment? Ha.

AndSunGorilla:

Keshi wasn't an experiment though. He had coached an unsuccessful u20, but he succeeded big time with Togo and was ok with Mali. So Keshi came in with loads of experience after I think Siasia got fired.

AndSunGorilla:

I hope Musa Abdullahi and Ladan Bosso applied for the advertised roles too.

andrewbaba44:
Someone finish 5th with this stats and achievements and it’s normal,we didn’t complain ,we move

Someone also won the ballon award with no single trophy and it was well deserved because his name isn’t messi

teamoneline:


I never said we should experiment with foreigners please. Nigeria has this instant success syndrome that is killing local content. for me I'll say eagles should not go anywhere. I mean how can we be in port1 and still be praying to avoid Ghana or Mali? What's even the point going? We need to go back to the drawing board set a long term development plan, give coaches turns in division2 and see how they perform. Anyone that performs well consistently we send abroad for further training if necessary, after which we give them the super eagles job. The same thing with junior Nigeria teams, Instead of all this rush rush and fail.

Utonwanne:


This is not true. James stopped progressing after 2 seasons. This is not Madrid's fault...
As a player in a big club, one needs to keep working harder or he will be left behind.

Look at Gerard. He did his coaching badges and did well. Look at Xavi did his coaching badge and played one of the best footballs in Qatar. I believe footballing experience has a part. However, the likes of Amunike, Oliseh and Finidi also have some coaching to technical experience.

I have always believed in using the National team for development. What I will advise is to send them on internship programs. Example, Amunike can go to work with Guardiola who is his former teammate at City for two to three months. See their latest methods and is good to go.

yinkeys:

Also not true of Eden Hazard
I see
Different clubs, different football philosophy
Why do slightly above players (Sanchez for example) shine in Arsenal but become trash in others(Man U)
They play to coaches instructions rather than to the teams or players strengths
@andrewbaba44
There’s a good reason Leicester won FA cup last season.

andrewbaba44:


As far as I am concerned James did well at Madrid

TheGoodJoe:


Musa Abdullahi died last year. Sad.

If we don't get an official confirmation of Rohr sacking this week, forget it... He will be leading us to AFCON.
It looks to me like the NFF will wait for him to fail at the AFCON so they can have a reason to terminate his contract without paying any of the compensation in the clause... Smart move...

And if he end up succeeding at the AFCON, it could most likely come as a result of an improvement in his coaching style....

Meanwhile it seems Watford are having an injury crisis now with Sarr, Foster and Nkoulou out, Etebo has been out for a while too. I really pity the team and as Watford loves 9ja, I think we can repay the good faith by leaving Ekong for them during the afcon period. Ekong should stay back and help Watford, they need him more than us. We should be able to survive although it will be a big loss to us

Danielnino00:


He should stay back and help Watford return to the championship ..


On a serious note, Ekong doesn't look like he is improving much... Defenders usually get better with age, but that's not the same with Ekong... He is just bang average...

That being said, who is next in line to him for the super eagles captainship? Omeruo? He can't be using his captainship to keep getting starting spots in the team... I love his vibes in camp and all, but performance wise, he need to take a bench break for now .

witorwitoutyou:



WELL FINGERS CROSSED...BUT TECHNICALLY LOOKING AT THE SITUATION..THE EARLIER THE BETTER..LET THE NEW COACH GET USE WITH THE BOYS, AND ALSO INCULCATE HIS OWN IDEAS OF HOW HE WANT HIS TEAM TO PLAY.


AMUNIKE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE JOB ASAP

AndSunGorilla:
Wilfred Indeed Ndidi!!!

Danielnino00:


Ndidi? Are u sure?

I thought it's Omeruo...
