Fun fact. We have only failed to qualify for the world cup twice since our debut in 1994.

We did not qualify in 2006 and in 2022. The Super Eagles manager both times was Austin Eguavoen.


Cc Otite Dafe

Will Eguavoen break the jinx this time?

chrisooblog:
Boniface out for the year wish him speedy and complete recovery.

daveP:
This guy and Eletu supposed dey get invites by now. Maybe what both of us see when they play, these guys no see am or just ignore outright.

Bannedlargejr:
On what metric? Playing at backwater Seria B? Or Milan primavera too many dullards here

TheGoodJoe:
What else will I say? I tagged Libyan the brainbox of the issue.

People carry what is in their mind and refuse to grasp the simple message of the person.

It was never about defending Libyans but us improving and handling protocol issues better.

Finito.

Like playing for the flight of the visiting team😂😂

You deserve the joker of the year.
You are not supporting Libya but you said Nigeria started it.... You also talk about contingency plan when our boys were trapped in the den of blood sucking animals that re-route a flight thats low on fuel!

continue my man, the award is yours. Someone won the most detribalize here not long, yours is coming --- JOKER OF THE YEAR

Hanibal:
In my opinion the closest like for like Osimhen replacement is Awóníyì
If Osimhen is not available, Boniface tactically isn't the ideal replacement

Hanibal:
Their playing styles is actually the same, one is just better at it than the other.
1. Both can play with their backs to goal, hold up play ... Your classical target man no 9s
2. Have you seen Osimhen or Awóníyì doing legovers for instance? .. both don't give a shit about flair, just beat your man anyway, anyhow and shoot... Directness.
3. Both are penalty box predators and both can dominate defenders physically on the ground and in the air.

Osimhen just does these things far better than Awóníyì.
That's why I think it's a like for like.
However you can educate me on why you think their styles are not the same, maybe I'm wrong.

Boniface however is a complete opposite of these things.
In a tactical setup with a "target man" striker in mind, substituting your target man for a different profile of striker in-match will not work most of the time, except you've had time to work on tactical adaptations for when a particular player comes on, which I don't think National team coaches will have time to do in the 3 or 4 training sessions they typically have before matches

Amedino99:
what about the pressing, heading and speed?

Amedino99:
an outsider looking at his argument today would think he was accusing the nff of a legitimate fault but no!, his grouse with the nff is that they did not pay out of pocket for a plane for the Libyans to move from port Harcourt to uyo. It really makes me laugh anytime the Libya situation comes up.

TheGoodJoe:
Akwa Ibom State Government had already spent millions to host the Libyan team. The NFF were aware the Libyans were financially strapped. They did nothing but you don't feel there is a lapse in that.

Your problem is abusing me for feeling that we could do better and there were contingency measures we would have pulled to get them to the host State that was bearing the brunt of the costs.

You are angry that I suggested that at least the NFF, if they could not get support from Fed. Ministry of Sports, could have tried networking for support.

Your problem is to abuse.

TheGoodJoe:
Doing like if NFF members are some saints. Same people that left Oliseh's CHAN team in South Africa without food or water. Same NFF that left Manu Garba's second U17 team starving. Same NFF that sent Amunike's conquering U17 to a World Cup without kits.

Today, you want me to swallow their tales without a pinch of salt.

Finito.

TheGoodJoe:
Is it not the same NFF that said they offered the Libyans buses and they rejected. Does that not blow holes into you guys idea that the NFF should not do anything?

I am talking about lapses on our end. You guys are offering nothing to the table.

[b[b]]NFF said the Libyans airborne requested for buses. Later the NFF said they rejected their buses, don't you see a hole in that? [/b]

My guess is that the NFF wanted the Libyans to pay for the buses and they did not have the money. Not that they rejected the buses.

But, the NFF came out telling us they rejected their buses. These are lapses on our end[/b].

So what is biting you people?

Amedino99:
this is the reason you are siding with the Libyans, sympathizing, for a better word. Due to your lack of trust in nff, you are throwing all forms of logic to the wind not minding how you look defending your point. Imagine saying the nff should have looked for a way to fly Libya from port Harcourt ( which was libya's responsibility) and saying that the bus they offered in it's stead was not good enough. You are not changing your stance because you already have an immovable bias against the nff that is blocking the logical part of your brain. A scenario where the nff are not the bad guys does not exist in your head. Nigeria's plane was diverted in Libya? Blame the nff for not preparing ahead for the possibility of the plane being diverted from original destination. I get it now. You should have said it in the first place so this discussion wouldn't have gone this far.

zicky:
The fact that you are even guessing makes it ridiculous.
Bro you are the only one seeing lapses because the Nfa was magnanimous enough to even offer them buses.
Our 2016 Olympic male team was stranded because our nfa was financially strapped, not even the IOC or the country host the Olympic could come to their aid.
But you want our nfa to provide flight, then maybe next time provide them with playing kit and jersey

zicky:
Guy you are still on with this line. 🤦‍♂️.
Do you know how many times the nff have been financially strapped.
Did you hear the news that South Sudan only went with 15players for their game against SA because of finance. Which home country have you seen come to the rescue of an away team that is financially strapped when you are not their FA abi government.
