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.

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.

Na d man wey dey claim gang-up against Britico guys I dey reply jare. As you guys say here,agenda must always agend. Imagine saying someone did he will make a decision when he's 23, but unfortunately time waits for no man, no body even look im side again .

komekn:
Maybe Uchebo, Reuben, Uzoenyi, Uche Nwofor and quite a few other mediocre players took his place.

You didn't talk about Obagoal ❓

All I know is that victory or a loss alters analysis. You are the best when you win and awful when you are defeated. Brazil were the best until they lost and all of a sudden I read how Vinicius, how Neymar don't track back. Now Morocco is the best. Okay ooo

Again everybody (except the winner of the final) who is rejoicing now will cry at the semi and the final.

I watched two games where he had the full complement of his players, and I am impressed with our style of play. He has brought Akpoguma back and now has Osayi to challenge Aina. Our problem is impatience. Let us give him time. We could also argue that Amunike was part of Equaveon's team. Therefore, he should not be spared from our World cup miss.
We all call for Finidi, Finidi is there now, but we still want Amunike back. I don't get it!

Are you impersonating me or I am the one impersonating you? You took this outta my mouth. It was Senegal, then Ghana now Morocco. After France finish dealing with them you won't hear about them again! Funny people!

Who coined the phrase "football is a short term career" on this thread self?

Unsurprisingly,he ignored that term in his defence of the guy ..

What if they surprise you again? When will they finally meet your expectation

No mind am, dat excuse get as e be, make a whole country wait for you, what nonsense, no matter the excuse. Very lame excuse as far as I am concerned, that's what some people have talked about, rolling red carpets for anyone. I definitely support the inclusion of any Nigerian origin player irrespective of where he or she is born, but the country should never be held to ransom by anyone.

Danielnino00:
All these things you wrote about Iorfa na conspiracy theory.. Nothing is factual..
As at the time we approached Iorfa, we badly needed his service seeing as we were on a rebuilding mission..It was around the time we got Iwobi who was barely a regular in Arsenal first team at that time... Unfortunately for Iorfa,when he was ready to rep us, there wasn't much need for his service.. Let me remind you of a certain Nedum Onuoha..Their case are similar...

Even if your argument about Jorge Mendes systemically freezing Iorfa out of the team, then how come no better club came to sign him? Man has literally spent all his career in the lower division of English football...

AndSunGorilla:
Good submission from you. I think the way we capitulated in the friendly against Portugal left a sour taste in our mouth. I was impressed with the 1st 2 friendlies JP lost especially in the light of the resources he had access to, but the Portugal game no be am. Different topic that home based team that lost to. Costa Rica's first team really tried o

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 .

When they start going toe to toe with teams and not relying on their goalkeeper and luck. They have not met a team with a good attack. France will be the ultimate test.

TheGoodJoe:
People should learn to shun tribalism. It has played a big part in holding the country down. Select the best, most qualified, and competent. Stop fighting against people because they are from a particular tribe.

Amunike is the most qualified and most competent. None have a better choice. Support him getting the job and moving this country forward.

He is a national hero and played a part in making us proud.

Same thing we are talking about the coming election. Peter Obi has the credibility and competence to fix the country. Vote him to help change the fortunes of this country.

AndSunGorilla:
Wonderment!!!!!!! the keeper is part of the team now and not there for decorations we saw great saves from Loris and Pickford just yesterday. And Portugal and Spain combined have scored the most goals in a game in this tournament, how else do we judge an opposition attack? Anyways now I know ultimately they would have to win this WC and defend it successfully before they can finally impress you.

Baba remove that last paragraph I beg you. Make we no destroy this place abeg!!!

Like Oracle (Marjoribanks) said. Was this same Amunike not part of Equaveon's team? You are the one displaying your tribalism here!

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....

Amunike has been consulting for FIFA and CAF over the years. Trained as a footballer with the likes of Guardiola and Enrique. He went to the same coaching school as them.

He has been working with the National team and youth teams behind the scene. However, you don't want him but want Finidi. Na wa.

Please, after Amunike's run, Finidi can take over.

Looks like the Africas of Europe are going to win this tournament.

As much as I want Morocco to win , without being divisive and racially biased.

When I see France it's like like looking at Not just sub Saharan Africa but West Africa personified.

Who are more representative of us African France or Moroccan Arab's.

This seem quite negatively biased and divisive I am truly confused.

Look at the celebration of France at the last World cup.
