Akwamkpuruamu:
Finidi and NFF are all stupid.

Ismaila, Onuachu have no business in that team.

Calvin Bassey caused the first goal

No tactics, no playing pattern....

Super Eagles should be disbanded because we are not going to world cup. So they have no need to exist. Imagine missing two world cups consecutively.
Actually, the major fault was from Ndidi, who failed to contest for the aerial ball, allowing the Benin player to nod it in the path of his teammate, although Bassey was partly to blame for being ahead of the opp striker, but if Ndidi had not ball watched, the ball wouldn't have awkwardly bounced the second time in front of Calvin Bassey.

What pedigree does Finidi George has a coach before NFF handed him the coaching job? Is it the right time to start doing trial and error with a local coach who cannot can?
Nigeria doesn't like meritocracy. There was Emmanuel emunike that has euro pro batch license , the highest coaching batch all top club coaches in Europe had but NNf turn a deaf ear and just like nepotism, decided to higher finidi and even begged Daniel the bull to be his assistant but the guy knew is worth and resign as assistant coach few days to south Africa game.

Nigeria is not a footballing country. Why?

We only gamble to win. No consistency.

Reason being that our players don't trian together for long.

Also, greed and pride choke our players' mind.

Also, our coaches will never have a 100% freedom to manage our squad going from the type of govt system we experience.

So sorry but we must tell ourselves the hard truth

How is that finidi George fault ?
Naija can pay their senators billions yet can’t find a decent coach to take them to World Cup ?
Country useless - with all the talent .

I knew the man had nothing to offer when he was busy saying God, God, by the grace of God. There's no grace of God here. We like to use spirituality to cover incompetence and lack of talent or ability. Although our players were terrible, there was no hunger and desire, and it was lacklustre, Finidi is a disaster already happening and about to get worse.
Re: Finidi George Fails Nigeria As Benin Republic Trump Super Eagles by TOPCRUISE(m): 9:51pm On Jun 10, 2024
Everyone says finidi should be given a chance so that he can give chance to local players. I expect every pained fan that supported finidi should be have expected this loss. The Rhor that you claimed was not a good coach whooped your ass.
Re: Finidi George Fails Nigeria As Benin Republic Trump Super Eagles by Dsimmer:
Benin Republic brothers no wan gree for us.

Boniface should have started as the striker since Osimhen wasn't available. Maybe Boniface wasn't also fit to play full minutes.

Where's Aina btw ? One of Nigeria best players at the afcon. He was integral at the Afcon and even made the caf team of the tournament. Apart from being defensively solid, he's flexible, agile and technical. Maybe he's injured.

The midfield is still something I'm looking at. Of course Iwobi plays the no 10 role. The forward area isn't an issue if got right but the central midfield is where some issue lie. Onyedika looks technical but not defensively solid nor agile. Ndidi who's supposed to be defensively solid isn't technical enough. Meanwhile, I didn't even know who was playing the holding midfield role between the two.

I think the technical Aribo should be brought into the midfield fold. Because Aribo has dominated several good midfield opposition teams, even when he was partnering with Iwobi (who's a no 10) in a 2-man midfield against Ecuador, not to mention how he also dominated the Brazilian midfield & Egyptian midfield. However, it should be noted that irrespective of the defensively attributes (tackling & awareness) of Aribo, he's not a holding midfielder but a box to box midfielder (offensive box to box) hence a good holding midfielder has to hold it down in the midfield. So, Onyedika would have to really operate as a holding midfielder. I think apart from Onyedika, there's no other holding midfielder in the squad. Most of the midfielders are box to box, including Ndidi.

I have noticed that even when we see solutions staring at us as a country we still go against it for unnecessary reasons and embrace failure instead.

No one can do well as a Nigerian coach nowadays, unless our politics changes for better.

Have you forgotten that our people lie a lot. Someone of 40s will be claiming 25. How can they give you the result you expect. Stop blaming coach. Blame our ideology and politics as a people.

What was so good about Rhor?

I don't blame any coach and I don't expect much from any squad of super eagles.

Sorry for those of u giving yourselves hypertension

Don't condemn Finidi George but blame the NNF that impose him on the Nation

Nigerians can be funny atimes undecided
For example, when did Benin Republic suddenly become "Common Benin Republic?"
Is it not the same Benin Republic you all claim had better schools than Nigeria, better roads than Nigeria, better electricity supply than Nigeria, better ports than Nigeria? You all claim that Nigeria is starving because Buhari closed Benin Republic border. Now when Benin defeats Nigeria in football, you all cry, " Common Benin Republic!!"

You all spend hours on social media demeaning Nigeria and elevating other countries above Nigeria. Did it never occur to you people that eventually the weight of your cussing and abusing of Nigeria will lead to the self fulfilling effect of Nigeria becoming lower than the other nations you daily elevate above her?

There is not one nation in Nigeria's group that most of you have not elevated above Nigeria in your daily abuses. It is strange that Nigerians that so believe in sorcery, spells, witchcraft and so on, do not reckon by the magic like scientific notions of self-fulfilling prophecies undecided

Psychology is a powerful factor in life. You elevate a man, though he was a paupa , he may walk like a king. Conversely, demean a king and he may walk and be possessed of a wretched spirit eventually.

Even if they give you this duty, you will still get the Nigerian result my brother. No be today na.

Let's go to the root of our perpetual football failure.

Age falsification, greed, pride and political pressure on catching crew.

Me o, never disappointed again after Lagos 2000 that Nigeria lost to Cameroon

Finding George still lack the experience to handle the Super Eagles. It's obvious he can't make things happen with those boys

Afonja101:
I wonder how nff arrived at the decision to sign finidi George... The last coach did very well.. How can you sack a coach that reached a final of afcon just to appoint finidi.
BECAUSE PESEIRO WAS JUST PARKING THE BUS.

VERY UN-NIGERIAN.

IT'S LIKE ASKING BRAZIL TO PARK THE BUS.

Excellent, fantastic post.

It is indeed true that words and thought - especially thought - are far more powerful than we think they are, in their capacity to create reality.

Nigerians constantly attract and evoke NEGATIVE ENERGIES, in their favoured state of permanent disgruntlement.
