Na Cameroon useless pass, theirs is just to qualify for the World Cup. They wouldn't do play anything.

It's not easy for Ghana. It's not a walk over for them oo. Don't get me wrong. What I'm saying is I just substitute Ghana for Nigeria and I know if Nigeria plays Korea and Uruguay it's an even contest. I know it's not empirical analysis but subjective. So since Nigeria can match those teams Ghana should be able to match them too

Ghana didn't bring any spirit against Nigeria. They were just lucky to play against a really useless Nigerian side. Based on our performance, had it been we had qualified the odds of we qualifying out of the group would be low. We don't possess enough quality right now to compete comfortably in that group. It's all speculation though. Football is a funny business. Do you have any adopted team in this world cup?

Can not match Tunisia or Ghana but you can match Uruguay

M7even:
Nigeria will match Uruguay. Nothing special about them. Even at confederations cup na gambo way keshi carry go mess us up

You never match Ghana Na Uruguay you want match with their top class players

Them don start .... Match Uruguay my fat ass .... Talk when your team is in Qatar to match them

I'm going to fault what you're saying about Okoye making more mistakes in the future.

He made decent saves against Tunisia both in the friendlies and in the AFCON after the awkward goal conceded. He also made saves against Algeria in the friendlies played. So it's not as if he's been all zero in the NT the way y'all like to drum around. Secondly he's been good at his club. It is an indication of future success with us as well.

Uzoho on the other hand has been decent too. I remember his save against Tunisia in the AFCON qualifiers. I was very happy when he Akpeyi got yanked off for him in the third place playoffs. But unlike Okoye he's regressed and has lost his place in his club, he can't be number 1 for now.

Bringing in a new keeper will be a foolish decision, unless they're playing at an equally decent level. If you go and start swapping keepers simply because you can't get over a mistake one of them made, you'll see worse mistakes. There's a reason coaches don't easily replace keepers. Football is tactics and not emotions.

I'm not talking emotions. You play all the fine tactics and then one shot lands in the net. Where's your tactics?

All I know is that both of them are not good enough to be keeping for us. If you are satisfied with saves made in friendlies, if you are satisfied with having goalkeepers that you cannot count on to make crucial saves and help take your team across the line, that is for you. I want more

Mujtahida:
I am careful with words. I said Okoye as he is now.
And besides I will even go ahead and tell you that even if Okoye becomes world number 1 goalie, he's likely (pay attention to this word) to still fumble in the GWG because his conditioning in the GWG is to respond with fear just like Akpeyi. Akpeyi will perform in the PSL and in the GWG he'd be shaking like a leaf. It's conditioning.

It is said that if a rat scares a horse when he's two years old, he'd still be scared when he's 10 years old notwithstanding that that horse might be a battle hardened horse.

Akpeyi doesn't perform as you think in the PSL. There was only a season where was outstanding and that was the year he became our no1 at the AFCON. Right now. he doesn't even see action and they're already about to sell him.

I don't think Okoye is scared of anything. He rather seems like a person who doesn't even give a f*ck. He just happens to have high reflexes that he hasn't been able to control fully. That has become his plus and minus at the same time and that's why he seems jittery. If you've watched him at Sparta, you'll see that he's very intelligent and has quick reaction. but that quick reactive trait causes him to judge the ball prematurely at times. That's why he misjudged a spinning ball for a straight one at AFCON, leading to a terrible mistake.

I've always loved Dutch football from my first World Cup in 1998. I expect at lest a semis. The quality isn't there like in the past but it's still a team to watch if you want to enjoy good footie

If say super eagles win some pple for don use bolder italics and pictures finish us here

Are you really a two-faced, rootless person? As in the team loses and perhaps as a way to deal with the pain you start mocking and laughing at the team?

You guys are still smarting from our last match. I'm too.

We have had enough of his high reflexes for now. Let him cool off so we can catch our breath.

So what's your alternative?

andrewbaba44:
For example I tell you Moses Simon is world class ,while the world sees him as average

Praising players here with their club performance doesn’t means hype oga

See any seasoned football lover might have this experience: when I first started watching football, I quickly realized that club football is different from national team football. I don't know how to express it but I'd say that the impression I have is that club football is easy compared to national team football.

So you'd see a player going blazes in his club and struggle in the national team. Of course good players maintain their form across both categories of the game but when you see Osimhen or Denis perform for their clubs, you will praise them. It's not hype.

If you watch Icon4s and Kog45, they are usually measured in their assessments of players because experience has tampered their expectations but most of the youngins here, una blood still dey hot.

JohnBullMySon:

We need good goalkeepers. It cannot be less than this.

andrewbaba44:
Nigeria national team is not as the USA National team ,USA national team is no hype ,it seems you think football is basket ball

There is nobody hyping the USA national team ,stop giving me wrong information

Every player is dropped ? Football doesn’t work that way ,if football worked on such way the national team will be empty

Others team missed out at the 2018 World Cup and heaven didn’t fall ,we missed out Qatar and there is nothing wrong in that as we have to move on

Italy won Euro with all the fine quality teams that contested in that tournament.
Few months later they are not going to be at Qatar having been knocked out by North Macedonia of all teams.
E dey happen abeg. Angola knocked us out in 2006. From that time, these years we have lived since then seemed so far but here we are. We have even attended 3 WCs since then.

E dey happen ooo. E dey happen

komekn:
I agree there was one I met Group Captain former NFF Chairman his son went to university in the UK close to me and also did reserve officer training.

He seemed a man of UNQUESTIONABLE INTEGRITY.

Yes Group captain John Obakpolor.....we also have Air comodore Anthony Ikhazobor but the best NFF all time president is Air comodore Emeka Omeruah who brought real branding and corporate sponsor to Nigeria football...under his tenure Nigeria qualified for her first FIFA WC ,won Afcon for second time,won Olympic gold in 1996 and also U 17 WC in 1993 .It was the same Omeruah as sports minister that Nigeria won first FIFA U 17 WC in 1985.....more reason i said some need to dig into archive before saying Pinnick is the best to happen to Nigeria football.

TFLASHOGEE:
na now una true colors just dey show even emeka follow join jonzing bad Belle people dey troll, I dey see windscribe dey fluctuate like glo network, hunger know good baba better know use ur Last strength for here because na only you go drink ur water drop cup we don loose we don loose life goes on Dem don fire people deservedly we go still come back strong after the world cup all dis noise go calm down or worst part African teams know pass group stages another topic go spring up so watin come be matter wey Una Carry for Head like person wey dey hawk gala abeg make una Park well we are here to rebuild if you know like am check the next transformer and do the needful

You couldn't match Cape Verde, Tunisia and Ghana, na Uruguay you wan match. I thought by now you folks will be humble.

andrewbaba44:
E Dey pain am ,e Dey use Laff Dey cover him anger

Why will A reasonable Nigerian be happy that his team didn’t make it to the World Cup because they didn’t play his favorite player Maduka Okoye

Him go cry tire till next eagles game wey him go see him guy ,at least he is not trolling Nwakali this time

Akpeyi was dropped for no reason for his fraud Maduka and Maduka another fraud was drop for fraudzoho

Akpeyi >>>>> frauduka Okoye and Fraudzoho

The guy shame me. I thought he's a guy man.

charlesemeka85:
Nff wants Herve renaird as super eagles next coach

I think our best option will be to get a decent Championship level manager whose contract will permit to double as our National team technical advisor. then maybe Amuneke can remain as chief coach.

The female team have a technical adviser who coaches a club in the US as well and it's pretty much working for them.

The approach saves cost and gives some level of quality too. He can also track our players in Europe better.

Mujtahida:
Lies at the bolded. I mentioned before the first leg how subdued Nigerians were and how boastful the Ghanaians were. I for one sensed it that we would not qualify.

The bolded was referencing the mood before the return leg.

I watched the pre-match press conference before the match in Abuja.

Eguavoen was with Simon Moses. You could see the arrogance in the response from them, especially Simon Moses....in contrast, Otto Addo mentioned the probable effect of the away goal and reiterated that Nigeria wasn't levels above Ghana as insinuated by many.

The draw in Kumasi dampened the expectations of the Ghanaians before the return leg in Abuja.

Mujtahida:
The guy shame me. I thought he's a guy man.

Those guys eeh...they really let our defenders down.Despite solid cover by our defenders check out shot at goal by our opponents in Afcon and WC play off,very limited but Okoye and Uzoho stlll fumbled.

Ghana can do this.

A win ( South Korea?) and a draw might just be enough for them.

As for Morocco...

JohnBullMySon:
Read the earlier comments. He was affirming a guy's statement that we lose because we don't have good players.

Then that’s bullocks

Nomyth:

Morocco can scale through

Ghana can do this.

Na only 2 teams Dey qualify sha ,take note

4 points is sufficient

Argentina qualified with just 4 points the last time.

Nomyth:
Argentina qualified with just 4 points the last time.

Such case is still rare Most times

Anything can happen in football ,and take not all the teams there is better than Ghana

typicalgamer:
4 points is sufficient

4 points no guarantee,Na 50/50

Na 4 points send Senegal go house the last time with yellow card rules
