Odunayaw:
Funny enough we only just started playing how we ought to. That is, direct and with intent.
But some are as usual looking for soft landing for their fears.

Play beautiful? Una no wetin such thing mean?

charlesemeka85:
What if eze and olise makes it public that they will only switch to us if we qualify for the world?

TheGoodJoe:
Another delivery of the curling shot. Even though the defence was not as compact as a parked bus set up, the shot demonstrates the efficacy it has against a tight defensive set up.

Nigeria is the English dust bin.
Dele Ali might never see a three lions call up again. He might regret not playing for us
England stand a chance of getting to the World Cup final with the quality of players they have right now
They won u17 and u20 world tournaments 5 years ago.
Only a matter of time before they get to the World Cup final with the crop of technically sound players they’ve got.

Simon was not poor under rohr, it was same rohr that brought him to play for eagles when at genk before his move to levante, he has his best game under rohr; when he combined so well with Victor moses( in the Cameroon match)

TFLASHOGEE:
I laugh you in Spanish if there is any player to regret not playing for us certainly won't be dele Ali as he doesn't even give a damn about representing us from the onset and him not being in England Squad is due to his current from let him show consistency before December then you see if he won't make the world cup squad or not even with pundits not doubting his inclusion because he has his footprint in the national team

On rohr first attempt he qualified us for the ANC 3rd place and qualified us for the World Cup while on egu first attempt we got our worst ANC result in 40 years and imbeciles like you are still talking. Let’s not qualify for the World Cup is when you guys will see my anger. The team is eguavoen inherited was much better than what Rohr inherited in 2016

TheGoodJoe:


Okocha should tell us if that was the mindset we used to play Brazil at Atlanta 96. Brazil boasted of some of the best talents in the game. The best player in the world and one of the greatest of all time was there. Ronaldo de Lima. Rivaldo who later became the best player in the world was there too. At that time Roberto Carlos was the second best player in the world. Juninho, Bebeto and some other stars were there.

Yet, we played with bravery and heart. It ended in joy for us.

Finito.

I think you are misunderstanding Jay-Jay's comment.

He's not saying they shouldn't play beautiful football but have than eyes on the main goal which is qualification.

If playing ugly means we qualify so be it.

Senegal didn't play sexy football they won AFCON. Egypt served us varying levels of boko haram football they got to the final and were a hair's breadth from winning the whole damn thing.

Good but sensible football I think is what Okocha is advocating for.

yinkeys:
Any NPFL thread please.
That strictly talks about the local league and teams

TheGoodJoe:


That is what I am critical of. As soon as you start thinking of equating playing ugly to winning, you set the team for a decline. Our aim is to keep improving as a team. Improving in how well we play and create chances. Not thinking of how to play ugly to win. There is no guarantee playing ugly will make us win.

The most dominant sides in football today play a refreshing brand of football. If our aim is to win, our best bet is to keep improving in our play. Not to win ugly hoping to win.

I disagree with the legend on this.

Playing good football in the long run especially when you have the tools is the way to go especially in league competition but when you're playing tournament or one of matches omo practicality overrides sexiness all day. If we're leading Ghana 1-0 in Cape Coast with one minute to go na to carry ball go corner flag and waste time not to be playing open game because I want to show 'refrshing brand of attacking football'.

Is it ignorance or is it delusional or even just a lack of basic understanding.

Corruption is endemic and institutionalised in our dear country. It's not about who is corrupt but who is not.

The EFFC, Nigerian Customs, to name just a few are endemically corrupt, it's not just institutionalised but long-standing generational, it's that bad.

Corruption is also accepted by most and almost IMPOSSIBLE as an individual to fight without grave consequences on you who challenges it.

NFF Coach Salisu was caught red handed and publicly disgraced and found culpable, blatant bribe taking. Some perfunctory sanctions were made against him as punitive measures. But it was more window dressing to appease public opinion somewhat.

Fast forward Salisu should have been banned and even imprisoned but he is now at the top of the pyramid in the NFF. That tells you the cultural of corruption still pervades at the highest level. I will not talk about SiaSia.

It's a reflection of just like many other government departments, agencies and or bodies in Nigeria. The NFF is no exception, it's endemically corrupt. Maybe you are blind to corruption but many here are not.

My former governor Ibori was discharged and acquitted of all charges of corruption at a Federal court in Asaba. He then pleaded guilty to very similar charges in British Court. Was convicted and given a 13 year jail sentence but served in prison for less than 7 years, returns to Nigeria, he is not arrested but literally given a red carpet state of welcome.

Ademola Lookman will watch the NFF spin a myriad of lies and untruths. If he wants to play for the SE he will say nothing because unless he want to face off with NFF and loose his place. He will keep QUITE and not in the public domain contradict the nonsense the NFF are putting out.

With regards to your request for a receipt ask Abba Kyari to produce a receipt for the thousands of $ he got from hushpuffi. And while your at it ask Ibori for a receipt for the $16 Million bribe given to the EFCC which is still in the Central Bank.

You're a comedian. Egu won a bronze medal on his first attempt too. I know you don't like the guy(I'm not a big fan tbh) but please try to be objective and not yan opaks!

First attempt in 2016 not 2022 Ewu hausa. No one is doubting that egu did a fantastic job 16 years ago, we’re referring to the atrocious result that occurred in 2022 (our worst in 40 years) considering that idiots like you were critical of Rohr 3rd place, it’s quite ignorant how you’re mute at a 15th place result. I just dey wait until March. If result doesn’t go our way, you guys go hear am for here

andrewbaba44:


Maybe because Olise and EZE are better

elyte89:



Sincerely..I was abt saying DT..eguavoen is not even playing beautifully now..he's only playing more direct ..more like executing rohrs plan in a more sensible fashion with bravity

Beloved03:
Guys are you really confident we can beat Ghana and qualify ahead of them?

Joebie:

How many people today no dey bribe to enter school or to pass courses for university?
it's a way of life.. It will take the people to say we have to start doing things differently for Nigeria to change.
Government cannot do it alone.
