I don't support mediocrity but after someone mentioned on Instagram that it wasn't his fault, with acknowledgements of others, I had to go take a second look. I re watched the replay from all broadcasted angles at 0.25X

The ball was heading to the center right when it suddenly drifted to the left after getting past Ekong. Maduka tried to return, he almost did but too late. he could not hold it down enough. Some keepers might have been sold off completely.

First three pics show how the Tunisian kicked the ball and where it was headed. In pic 4, the ball had swerved to the left
That's what I had been saying, the goal was no fault of his, he even tried, but the touch was not strong enough to divert the ball completely,

You can see that the ball went up when going in, after Maduka got a touch to it, out of reflex


Looking at the 2nd pics, might had been a slight deflecting Ekong back leg

Must he start his apprenticeship with the Senior National team without a badge? Nepotism and sentiment at play.
TheGoodJoe:

He is starting. He lacks the badges and experience for such role yet. However, as a fitness coach and working directly with the team, he will learn a lot about coaching the Super Eagles.

You do not know if he has weighed the career path of Africans in Europe and seen they hardly ever get to the top.

Maybe he wants to focus on Super Eagles where if he is good, he can rise.

Yobo is one of the longest serving Super Eagles player and had a long career in the English Premier league. I think he can serve as an asset to the Super Eagles while he works on getting a badge. He can gather some insights on the Super Eagles to develop his philosophy when he goes for his coaching badge.

I think his experience as a professional gives him the edge.

There's no chance/room for him to coach the Eagles now till like after 8-12years. So what would he be doing till then.

Twelve years is not too far and gaining experience working closely with the Nigerian footballing system will give him a good idea for a future career with the Eagles. I believe the experience so far is a good one for Joseph Yobo.

I have said it before and i am still gonna say it. Okoye has been used as a convenient scapegoat for our clear failure in AFCON.

Okoye is not the problem in the SE...We may not have a top GK, but he is not the reason we lost.. His point blank save on Salah being an example...

Eguavoen and his shiitty tactic failed us..

This is why I respect my good friend Seyi Olofinjana,it is always good to be a university graduate as a professional player,especially from Africa,the knowledge will never be wasted after one retired from football.Imagine Seyi that was playing for Kwara United when Yobo was already a big hit in Belgian league with standard leige is a sport director with European club and Yobo instead of going for more knowledge about the game he is busy lobbying for NFF job.

Checkout well schooled ex players like Mike Emenalo a boston university graduate,Adokiye Aimeasemeka former Attorney general,Segun Odegbami an Egnr.,Jonathan Akpoborie buffalo university graduate,Felix Owolabi who is a PhD holder,even most ex NPFL who are graduates don't lobby for NFF jobs.

Joseph Yobo is still very young and with his rich experience as a player I expect him to go back to real coaching school to learn more about football tactics or administration.


Everyone must not take the same route and I believe Yobo will gain valuable knowledge working directly with the coaching crew who are, remember, trained professionals.

For instance, he was part of the pre, during, and post AFCON work. With what he has learned, when he is ready to do his badges, it will be okay.

Yobo is a smart guy and I do not think he does not have his own plans. He has the path he wants to follow and must not follow others. He is already a Super Eagles coach and looks promising.

nwakali I doubt if any club will sign him currently for 500k cheesy cheesy
When a player is on £3k a week wages , in the lower Segunda Division and has been more or less anonymous all his time there.

Why would anybody pay £500k for a player who is not going to get his contract renewed and will be free agent in a few months. Add to that his so called quality is very dubious.

Currently, he may end up not playing on for Huesca who tried to offload him to another club. His club who don't rate him, want to get rid.

it’s because you think he’s actually interested in the job, Yobo have been retired for over 5 years and he doesn’t have any coaching badge. An active player like Gundogan is already working on his . Yobo have no interest in coaching, even this one he’s doing with the NT I’m thinking he was talked into it
Is that what Yobo said to you ?

You are talking entirely from your imagination.

My broda, you dey mind those nuisance??
Maduka had all the time to adjust himself for that ball! Not the Tunisia had an instant shot to the post but he delayed to put himself in a better position; He had two defenders on him(Ndidi & Aina) before he squared them off and positioned himself for that shot! What was he doing prior to that shot OUTSIDE 18YARD BOX FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!
Even Ndidi was amazed and asking him how come? (Go and rewatch that game and see Ndidi had gestures)
Had he been saving a lot of shots since the beginning of the match, that would be understandable. First shot on him, enter post. That was the same Keeper against Sierra Leone who allowed in 4goals at a go!
Some folks who never kick ball for their life will come here and be arguing rubbish!

Contrary to the jokes about Kelechi Nwakali, it raises my respect for the young man. He took a massive pay cut to rebuild his career. That shows someone ready to build again from scratch.

I pray that the young man keeps working hard. God will bless his hustle.

A follow up to Spaletti's pre Match presser. Below is an extract from his post-match presser.

Spalletti has seen the light fully and finally. He now knows. cool

Men, that is heavy. Coming from Spaletti, that is huge.

Spaletti is talking of changing their system to suit Osimhen. That is, more of the passing game. That is interesting and Inzaghi needs to strap his seat belt because it is about to get ugly.

Osimhen topped the list of the players with the most completed dribbles.
Is the coach saying Osimhen should be served the ball in positions and circumstances where the need to dribble his opponents will be less?

When you say somebody took a massive pay cut.

It implies that somebody offered him a lot more money and he refused it and took much less. You like to turn white to black and daylight to darkness with your misrepresentation.

Nwakali Arsenal contract expired and NOBODY wanted him after several loan moves. He wasn't good enough for Arsenal, not even after two years in lower Eerste Divisie, NOBODY offered him anything. He even descended to playing Porto B they did not want him.

He eventually went to Huesca for more or less nothing and was given to the second to the last lowest pay in the club.

On arrival Huesca found him wanting and sent him on loan before bringing him back to the team where he had been largely anonymous. He is facing an sanction for going AWOL after the AFCON.

So what are you actually admiring ❓ Mediocrity huh, because he did not be take a pay cut. He is taking the best he can get.

I admire someone who doesn't care how lowly he fell. He is ready to work his way up. So no matter how lyrical you wax about how low he has fallen, the bright young man is ready to work his way up.

He could go to China or some Arab team and earn decent wages but he still has faith that he can work hard and make it.

I am proud of him and falling is part of life. Picking yourself up is a sign of greatness.
