Lmao

I just randomly remembered that Finidi George, THE COACH OF THE SUPER EAGLES OF NIGERIA, said formation doesn't matter in football.

Chai.

Finidi George and that Modakeke Chief that used to wear Abacha shades are dragging for the worst coaches of the Super Eagles ever.

femianski:
I understand where you're going cos I Know it's about that Eritrea deduction palava but there's a misconception here on your part. The points deduction only happens to the second placed teams. If we are topping our group, our points won't be deducted

It was deducted from every team as long as you played the last team in your group. Go check well.

MetalJigsaw:
It was deducted from every team. go check well

Nope. Just the second teams in every group.

minfelix:
in as much as i wouldn’t wanna overflog the SA issue of the unfair advantage of having 7matches played in their soil….CAF needs to do better…if a team doesn’t have a home ground its better they are ejected from the qualifiers or go for a fair ground….

common meehn the fans also have a way to influence a match

Fair submission.

And those with turf fields should also be regarded the same...they have no football fields .

Atleast our potato farm pitch try small 🫣

lbrichman2:
That's why I've been saying Benin were poor..
We conceded the midfield to them for long stretches of the game..
A better team would have camped in our half and punished us severely..

How do you even concede the midfield to a poor team, just how? Well, we should just remember that Gabon, DRC, or Cameroon won't do us any honours or respect in the play-offs, it will be do or die, so our boys better bring their A game from start to finish, any slip up or giveaway, o ti lo!

I don do my work 😌

We have a playoffs to execute and we need two kinds of players:

1. Battle bred warriors.

2. Players with the quality to uplift the team.

And we have someone trying so desperately to push Aniagboso on us. Agenda and some of you ehn. This is why I am always wary of new monikers. Some of una get hidden agenda. You will first wanna get noticed and then with time, reveal your true mission here.

Please it is dead on arrival. Let Aniagboso keep doing well in the Ukraine 2nd division. His time will come as he keeps improving.

Your comment reeks of showboating. I don't need to get noticed. Only those that are unknown need notice. Guobe will tell you better.
Hidden agenda as in what? Ebenezer Akinsanmiro post by your reasoning should also be classified as "hidden agenda".
POINTS TO NOTE
1)Every true football analyst know that STANLEY NWABALI nearly cost us the playoffs with evidences from the last 2matches(floppy slip against Lesotho and unnecessary delay against Benin Republic whilst only 2:0 up)and that is both a fact and a truth.
2) Currently speaking, Aniagboso's form puts him in a good stead for a recall rather than An Amos Obasogie who has not threatened Nwabali's position
3)We like some sound minds on TWITTER enthused need real competition backed with clubsides evidence a la AKOR ADAMS at Sevilla and replicating with the national team.

In the course of our discourse, I acknowledged you but your stance stank with false claim of following him truly to the point of questioning my use of the word recall to Super Eagles. I presented video evidences not Dictionary words strung together alone with intending blind support.

Conclusively, only the NFF (not even your seeming campaign of calumny) and the COACH has a final say on who to use for matches. We should learn to present facts and truths and acknowledge those who do so.

Nope. Just the second teams in every group.

Wrong. If that is so then Benin should be in second place with 17 points.

I'm happy seeing Olakunle Olusegun on the field yesterday and good to see two ABS boys in the team.... Benjamin Frederick and Olakunle Olusegun never knew it would be so soon,playing for eagles....former Senate President Bukola Saraki owner of ABS paid tribute to the two players for their outstanding performance.

Chelle got the ball and soon to see young players like Akinsanmiro,Eletu making the team.

I hope that will be Olakunke's first and only cap. The guy is a carpenter and not a footballer.

That Modakeke Chief won us Afcon Silver in 1984 against a pretty powerful Camerounian Team that was at the 1982 WC.

I know he dulled us at the 2002 WC but abeg make una no place "Formationless" Finidi in same coaching class as Onigbinde.

TheSuperNerd:
Thanks but didnt need the history lessons. Yekini didnt score 5 vs Ethiopia in 1993. He scored 3 okay. His only 4 goals game was vs BFA in 1991. So it is okay, memory can fail. But now u know the facts.

And as for Aniagboso... try to stay updated on the lad more okay. He is not in the topflight currently

And his team too. They have not lost a game 2-1 yet be it in the league or the cup. Cup loss was pens.

So kindly drop the aniagboso agenda act and speak realistically on the fact that he is just finding his feet in lower league football and should be allowed to do so without rushing him into the Super Eagles especially for the playoffs.

Finito.

Nigeria get keepers in all these Eastern European countries but they are not ready,fact Nwabali and Okoye are good options available for now,all we need is to psyche them up for better performance....Atubolu would have been better man that will walk straight into our starting XI but the boy is made for Germany..... Arthur Okonkwo I watched keenly is not better than Maduka Okoye.

All we need in the playoffs is getting young players who are ready to start just like Frederick and now Olakunle

I been no put date before 😂, I don go update am sha.

I would have been excited if it was the On fire Olakunle of Krasnodar back then in 2022/23 but currently he is a lad trying to find his feet again with Novgorod in Russia after struggles for gametime ar Krasnodar and it showed when he came on yesterday.

Olakunle was not just ready for the game and the team.

Yes. They are not ready. I can name a couple more goalies in Europe but truth be told, they cant push Nwabali or Okoye at the moment.

On Olakunle Olusegun, be honest Elder Kog45... were you impressed with his 45mins+ show?

I don't like naija peeps. How can we not see that we have a gem in our hands, a warrior of a man, a beast who deserves not just praise but adulation.

To have the hopes of the whole nation rest on his shoulders and still delivered, is incredible. Osimhen is the man!!!

Why he delivers under pressure is because he's difficult to mark out. He is slippery. Hes good at picking out teammates in better positions when he's in a tight corner. He's also deadly mid-air not many footballers are as good in the air.

On the Nigeria v Ethiopia (6:0) match AFCON SCORELINE, I watched the match then at it was not by checking google hence I stated it was not so clear who the goal went to between Barnabas Imenger or Rashidi Yekini
Below is the video evidence. We talk with proofs not to impress but to truly inform:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_FCwkxw08g?si=3AHbWy3JcGWyxS_K

The thread can testify that I made my first post on Ebenezer Akinsanmiro even before he left Nigeria as a young teenager. He was on my young talents watch then and has proven my talents eyes right few years on from then.

And again, nearly everyone who follows this thread knows I follow nearly all our players. There is nearly none who escapes my sights. If I drop a full report on everyone, I will be banned by the bots or will not have time for other things.
So this futile attempt at trying to show I dont follow who? Aniagboso? Lol... is dead on arrival. My history speaks for me.


And yes, you should be telling yourself your last words. Present facts and truth. Not telling us Aniagboso is in the topflight whereas he is in the lower league. Or telling us his team lost 2-1 whereas that never happened or telling us Yekini scored 5 when that is clearly your memory failing and u still backing up the fallacy. So many erroneous info from u. If it was just one, I would let it slide.

So again, in all your epistles, you make no sense. Just learn and be humble. You are a newbie in here yet you want to walk around like u own the place because of Small calculations u did alongside some others? Others are not doing what u are doing right now so rest!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

December 28, 2022. Ebenezer Akinsanmiro. Still at BLFA in Nigeria BACK THEN but already on Inter's radar.

Hidden agenda?? Lol... people will say anything.

TheSuperNerd:
Since December 28, 2022. The dream is maturing. Nigeria's next midfield pearl who will make the Super Eagles squad within 1-1.5yrs.

Watch out.

Naija Talents Watch: Akinsanmiro Ebenezer, Midfielder, 18 years, Inter-Milan Bound.

From the local front, I have brought Profiles/Dossiers on the likes of Jamiu
Musbaudeen, Ozor Okeke, Ebube Okere, Emmanuel Michael, Raphael Oyebanjo and a few other U17/U18 talents to this thread.

Well, here is another.

His name: Akinsanmiro Ebenezer of Beyond Limits FA, Remo Stars. 2004-born.


Gifted Young Central Midfielder good at receiving on the half turn and in the half spaces, good in transition plays both offensively and defensively through the middle, mature for his age in his passing and has high field Vision. Also, quite physically dominant.

Excelled for Beyond Limits FA at the Viareggio Cup held earlier this year in March and signed a Pre-contract with Inter Milan before returning to Nigeria with Remo Stars' academy side, Beyond Limits.

He also featured in the The Creative Championship, TCC, Nigeria.

Follow-up Reports say his transfer is to be officially announced in January and one of the clubs in Hammarby, Sweden also tabled an offer for Ebenezer.


Remember the Name, Akinsanmiro Ebenezer.

See his slippery ogo. Make them just set this man head for me I wan try something.

Though that system favoured us, but so unfair to many teams oo🤣🤣….CAF/FIFA going forward need to look for another way to balance things…Steve Yago is nearing his career end with grudges….this guy go soon comot cloth inside bathroom swe@r for CAF/FIFA just like Joe erico and Oliseh did to super eagles🤣🤣

CapitalCee:
I have checked it tay tay. There are still 2 mathes to play in November. Honduras is on 8pts Costarica is on 6 points.

14/11: Nicaragua vs Honduras
19/11: Costarica vs Honduras.

For Costarica.
14/11. Haiti vs Costa rica
19/11. Costarica vs Honduras (possible decider).

Meanwhile Costarica needs to be careful oo or else Either Suriname or Panama can overtake them in second team ranking. They seem to be draw specialists like Nigeria.

For me if possible let Caracao and Suriname come out from cCONCACAF.

Surname and Cocoa industry

Mujtahida:
That man stubborn but that Olakunle is a real flop. I even lack words to describe how atrocious he was. Someone said he's out of his depths. And that's the truth

Let's not conclude yet bro. He played only a few minutes. It would be unfair.

Problem is you deem yourself to be what you are not and hence the need for support from others. After this it will be needless engaging your posts as they are not geared towards national improvement but self acclaim.
I said YEKINI scored 4 or 5 and pointed out the fact that one goal was not certain whether it was Imenger's or Yekini's. I also mentioned later that Nduka Ugbade got the 5th goal which I didn't recall whilst stating that Late Peter Rufai scored a penalty the last goal. You did not state that. That is not from someone with failing memory. Someone with failing memory does not correct wrong info of Onikan Stadium being Super Eagles fortress whereas it was National Stadium in another person's post. Video evidences proves me right. You only stated statistic with no video evidences.

As for Akinsanmiro been that good yet not invited to the team at anytime in comparison with Aniagboso(who originally was not first choice prior to U20 AFCON 2023 but not only broke in and was Deputy Captain at same) to be invited to the Eagles is something you didn't know, yet you proudly refused acknowledging and still showboating.
In comparison based on current form and past antecedent, Aniagboso deserves a look in before Akinsanmiro except skewed brains think and speak otherwise. Like I said it is not about checking google mainly which is most likely your stronghold and stringing words together to impress the seemingly unknowing, do you have video evidences? I don't need to make sense to you, but I need to present facts, truths and evidences to those willing to know.


I rest from responding to your posts henceforth as your aim (from a greater percentage of your posts and reply) is not of National interest but of self acclaim.

Aha! There it is. The true mission of Cocony. Just another attention seeking newbie moniker who feels he can come in here and rubbish all the good works done over the years by TheSupernerd.

You have been noticed and now, you will be blocked from henceforth. Wow. A relief to finally expose your true intentions. Bye now.

Honestly it is such a shame we have someone talking about inviting Aniagboso as if he will come in and change up our GK dept and really give Nwabali and Okoye a keen fight.

From the moment that guy lied that Aniagboso features in the Top flight of Ukraine, and misunderstood my correcting him about where Aniagboso played and even implied I lied about him conceeding 3 by claiming it is less citing a non existent 2-1 cup game loss in which Ani didnt feature (actually it was a pens loss and yes Ani didnt feature), I knew instantly he had an agenda.

Chijioke Aniagboso plays 2nd tier football in Ukraine pls. He has started the season well with 9 cleansheets from 11 league games conceeding only 3 goals in 2025/2026 Ukrainian Persha liga so far.

His time last season in 2024/25 in the top flight saw him make 4 appearances, 2 losses, 1 win, 1 draw... 4 goals conceeded. A decent cameo season for him.

Now, he is finally getting a good run of games and is only finding his feet albeit in a lower league and I hope he keeps improving and even leads Chernmorets Obersa to Topflight promotion. But right now, in this moment, he is not ready. Truth be told.

Let us focus on those who can truly currently raise the level of our Super Eagles.

Abeg Burkina Faso players and fans should rest abeg. They're bloody hypocrites. I'm sick and tired of reading their complaints online.

It's the audacity for me: accusing CAF and FIFA of systemic bias when you're attacking a rule that was explicitly designed to ensure equitable comparison across nine groups with unequal number of teams. Just lets you know they don't really care about justice. They only care because they got the short end of the stick.

The teams in the 5-group category, no thanks to Eritrea's withdrawal, would have faced an insurmountable mathematical deficit if Burkina's "easy wins" were counted. Do they care about that? No, because that's not their problem. Afterall it's not their group.

Isn't it funny how people only seek justice when the system doesn't favor them? When it favors them, they won't mind it at all, lol.

They should be livid and hostile towards their own football association (FA), and not FIFA. Their footballing government should have taken note of the Eritrea situation, and anticipated the possibility of getting knocked out of the second place table, and go all out in their last two games against Ethiopia and Sierra Leone.

Abegi!

MetalJigsaw:
Let's not conclude yet bro. He played only a few minutes. It would be unfair.

he didn't play a few minutes. He played 45 minutes plus additional time. Over 10,I would give me a 3. And that is mainly because he put in a little shift to press. His positioning was wrong,didn't open up to receive passes,few times he got the ball he didn't know what to do with it. It was obvious this level is far too high for him. He's not international football level quality by a long stretch.

Okoye should be back by Nov

Amas is not okay. Olorunleke and Kayode too? I no want make they blame Okoye again if anything sup again abeg.
