It was indeed a fine Goal as hyped. The lad isn't slowing down. Awesome to see.

I wish they beat France and then go ahead yo win the trophy. This is the kind of commitment Mikel showed. If Okocha did same during his time, may he...

The Class of Hakim Ziyech

How Morocco's former coach, Vahid Halilhodzic had an issue with Ziyech is still beyond me. Look at the passionate fellow some tried to make look like the Villain. Smh.

Morocco played good football under Vahid. They were already on their way to building something special but you see, the team won't be complete without Ziyech. They needed that extra bite, that extra technical quality, they needed to be one... so the Moroccan FA was right to bring Ziyech back and kick out Vahid and appoint Walid to take the team to the heights they are capable of reaching. And look at them now....

It is not just about appointing a good indigenous coach. What about the pests in the glass house?
If they were so audacious to share a salary with a foreign coach and even impose players on the coach, what do you all think they'll do to an indigenous coach?
It is better we tackle the problem from the root. We need to reset the glass house first

I agree! I just want us to give Paserio our support. If he fails, then Amuneke should be employed! TheGoodJoe

It is a good point but the question is, is Peseiro playing a system that suits us and will build our team over the years?

If his system is right, and his selection will help build a formidable force, then we can say let us support him. However, if his playing style, selection system and scouting pattern is detrimental to our growth, then we are just wasting time with him.

Sad report: Savior Godwin gets a red card for misconduct on the pitch. His game is over at 71mins. Game at 80mins now, and Casa still leads 1-0.

TheSuperNerd:
Savior Godwin provides an assist for Casa Pia as they lead 1-0 vs Trofense in the Portuguese Allianz League Cup.

It was his 5th G+A (3G, 2A) of the season across all competitions in 16 games.

Game currently at 39mins.

Francis Uzoho kept a cleansheet today as his side Omonia Nicosia secured a 1-0 win over Akritas Chlorakas in Matchday 14 of the Cypriot Prothathlima Cyta.

It was his 4th Cleansheet in 9 league games. His side sits 6th in the league table currently.

Oh gosh got that mixed up thank you.

Well he was on the up in the Bundisliga and rejected very clearly that he was not interested in the SE. Spurious claims of Juju by his Father in the camp.

He is very far from the German national team and decided to play for Nigeria no problems. However, when English Nigerian players do similar there is an outcry by some .
That's Jordan Torunarigha, the son if Ojokojo and he hasn't started playing us yet. Another ex international's son whose father even had more caps than Ojokojo is Dominic Iorfa and his son at the height of his success did not pick Nigeria.
Additionally, I remember a certain Sola Ameobi who at the height of his success didn't pick Nigeria, at the twilight of his career he surprisingly made Nigeria's world cup team in 2014, it could even be likened to reaping where one didn't sow.

Shola Ameobi even at the peak of his career couldn't even score 20 goals a season.. Very average player..
But he scored against Italy in that pre world cup friendly and his inclusion was regarded by some as justified... His brother Sammy looked promising,but alas....

Yes ,yes your right must have got them mixed up a bit

You are wrong with Dominic Iorfa, he said from the start that he would pick Nigeria when he gets to 23. He was the star boy of Wolves then, until super agent Mendes took over the club by proxy and he was frozen out.

He was still playing for England U21 and had not tied up a long term contract. In addition his Dad had contested for the NFF Presidency.

Dominic committed to Nigeria at 21 before his projected 23. Rohr visited him personally and promised a call up he was in Championship with Sheffield Wednesday then.

Somewhere along the line that promise did not come fruition just like Eberechi Eze and a few others. My speculation was that the bitter rancourous NFF election that his father was involved in with claims of vote buying (normal process) in Nigeria did not help Dominics case.

Dominic had a few injuries (Achilles rupture) actually just before a Premier League club had come in for him, lost his position and his club got relegated to league one.

My view is that he is currently not good enough, fast physical and tall but limited technical ability in my opinion. Maybe if his club gets to the Champions and he improves then he can be looked at again.

In 2014 we had selected such a poor collection of players that he was one of the better ones ,a team that SHOCKINGLY had Reuben Gabriel, Michael Uchebo, Azubuike Egwuekwe, Ejuke , Oshinawa, etc how did Obagoal and the Uche brothers get left out is the 7th wonder of this world.

Honestly even the ex footballers sef we don't know jare. Mutiu Adepoju was the admin of 3SC for along time, not sure he made much difference. Oliseh complained that his ex colleagues were trying to force players on him, we are all witnesses to the allegations against Amokachi, Siasia and Keshi in terms of egunje for slots. Right now, the same politicians we complain about, our ex-internationals are busy embracing politicians because well we know man must wack.
After all my lamentations and "whining" aka complaining, to answer your question, a good admin is a good admin and the person need not to be an ex international or even former footballer. I hope we get one soon, a sincere, incorruptible and savvy person. Because no be only anti-kwaruption go solve our problem, we don get one big example for us now grin.

We can't do anything with our current crop of go and defenders

Just for the records Kalu Uche was not dropped, he was invited but he chose to decline the invitation maybe in solidarity with his brother Ike who I believe shouldn't have been dropped. Maybe Sola took Martin's place.

You have omitted the other parts of the narrative to suite your view and or agenda.

Did Rohr visit him a big yes , what was agreed ❓

He made it very clear that he could not commit to Nigeria while he was playing for England U21 ( that's not honourable) and had not tied up a long term contract. That was made very clear to the powers that be. Even with his former Nigerian international agent in communication with the NFF.

I am telling you first hand and you are using your imagination.

Again everybody (except the winner of the final) who is rejoicing now will cry at the semi and the final.
Morocco scored in the 1st half at 42mins.... and held that lead for the next 45mins plus red card and plus 8 mins injury time that is holding a lead for over 53mins..

Brazil scored at 105 mins and lost the lead at 117 mins... Brazil could not hold their lead because they lost their defensive discipline or even because they normally don't play defensively and that has been one of the reasons they haven't won another World Cup since 2002 and accepting the fact that from 1994 to 2002 they had a super squad...

Morocco has shown that defending as a team is also important...

Morocco has only conceded an own goal..

England vs Senegal.. Senegal defended for the first 30mins and had chances they should have scored but they couldn't maintain that defensive discipline and formation and England won the match...

England vs France... England needed penalties to score.. they couldn't score from open play because majority of France players where defending and tracking the English players and that's how they conceded penalties.. Mbappe was in some cases behaving like Neymar and other times he was defending...

After the match against Tunisia.. France adopted that approach of players dropping deep to defend when France is not in possession...

In Summary...
After the match against Tunisia, France plays similar to Morocco but with better attackers...

If Brazil adopts such approach, they will be reaching back to back finals but that's not their style..
