Quick one off my head is the group game against CIv

Another quick memory of wonderful reaction is an Angolan header in the early minutes of the game.

Saying penalties is anybodies game before giving him kudos is disingenuous but go for gold

CapitalCee:
Look at you. Wollacot was the GK for most of the world cup qualifying campaing becauss Richard Ofori of Orlando Pirates was injured in 2021. During the world cup Wollacot was injured but was included in the squad.
By AFCON 2023, he was the 3rd choice GK behind Ofori and Ati Zigi.

As for Benjamin Asare their current Number 1. He has kept record number of clean sheets in Ghannian leagie with Hearts of Oak and they finished 3rd last season. In Heart of Oaks there is winning mentality. If Nwabali is performing for Hearts of Oaks like Asari i wont be worried.

CapitalCee:
Enyeama waz never fumbling crossess in SE shirt. He was solid throughout his time in SE.

CapitalCee:
My point still stands Enyeama might be fumbling crosees a few times but he was solid most times even during his early days in SE.

The mainpoint we are debating here is that Enyeama was in team where winning was the focus. Unlike Nwabali QED.

quickberry:
The only players that were part of both tournaments were:

1. Okocha
2. Kanu
3. Ike
4. Aghahowa
5. Babayaro
6. Udeze

When I say you did not really watch the matches you are proving me right.

So, how was it the commencement of the preparation for the world cup?

Even all the coaches were sacked

quickberry:
Thank you for this post

Cocony:
The statement Kog45 made:EZENWA was not even regular in NPFL. THAT WAS AND IS STILL FALSE. THE SECOND STATEMENT THAT ENYEAMA WAS A ROOKIE IN NPFL WHEN HE KEPT AGAINST ENGLAND WAS AND IS ALSO FALSE

Kog45:
Sir,I don't have energy for front and back argument...am sorry but fact, have been watching eagles as Green eagles as far back as 1980 and from 1983 am able to know more about what's going on in the field of play,just to tell you that I will never support your argument based on Nwabali club status or league....I followed the NPFL traveling watching the league....Pls who was the first choice between Dele Aiyenugba and Vincent Enyeama when they met in Enyimba?

Yes Ezenwa was not regular in NPFLwhen he kept against Cameroon

Cocony:
My brother, Ezenwa was not a newbie going into the game against Cameroun in 2017 on our way to 2018 WORLD CUP. After being part of the 2007 U20 TEAM BOTH AFCON AND THE WORLD CUP FOR U20s HE HAD BEEN A REGULAR IN THE NPFL.
YES ENYEAMA WAS NEW BUT NOT JITTERY AND WAS ALREADY TESTED IN A FRIENDLY AGAINST KENYA AND HAVING LOST OUT ON QUALIFICATION, THE RIGHT THING ANY COACH WILL DO IN HIS 3RD MATCH THAT WILL NOT CHANGE THE TURN OF EVENTS AS PER QUALIFICATION IS TO GRANT APPEARANCES TO SOME OF HIS PLAYERS. ENYEAMA WAS NOT JITTERY, COCKY NOR DID HE DISPLAY ARROGANCE TOWARDS ANY OF HIS CAPTAINS IN THE SUPER EAGLES.

TheGoodJoe:
So he should stop saying it goes against his philosophy when it is his philosophy. Your take above it actually defeats your argument.

TheGoodJoe:
From your take, is Luis Enrique foolish?

CapitalCee:
Those are nor one on one situation.

TheSuperNerd:
I think it should be clear to all by now that Cocony and CapitalCee are just the same. I silently raised eyebrows when I saw them walk into the thread at the same time using Super Eagles Calculations to gain attention. Unlike CAR321, who came in did his thing and pushes no agenda, these 2 clearly have agenda up their sleeves.
Anyway, I dont entertain their agenda for longer than necessary. They stay blocked and dead on arrival.

Kog45:
Hmm,tested against Kenya in a friendly and ready for WC...my university coach discovered Vincent Enyeama,so I know much

donbenie:
So,nobody plays for Osimhen?

Which team doesn't play for its Strikers?

TheSuperNerd:
TheGoodJoe, Valentin Barco (Strasbourg), keep an eye out for him. Special footballer. Can play LB but he is far more comfortable as a CM. Lovely left foot, strong and Eagle eyes.

Mujtahida:
I'm talking about Oliseh. Nothing concern me with Enrique

Mujtahida:
We are human beings not robots. If you understand nuance, you wouldn't oppose his position.

Either this Nwabali goes to therapy or Chelle replaces him with Okoye for the time being. He's a ticking time bomb waiting to happen. I just pray that the day he finally blows up, it won't be during competitive games like the playoffs, AFCON, or in a World Cup game (if we make it).

TheGoodJoe:
We are actually talking about football ideas and perspectives.

You tagged the idea of leaning strictly to dominative play foolishness. Luis Enrique said he will rather lose instead of not playing football.

So you are tagging Enrique foolish. If you don't think he is foolish, it plugs a big hole in your argument.

Pls define rookie for me

Yes Ezenwa was not regular in NPFLwhen he kept against Cameroon

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you. I will surely check him out. I also heard Strasbourg is playing some mean footie.

TheSuperNerd:
Ah yes! Strasbourg is. I even watched their last game vs PSG. The 3-3 draw. Enrique's young guns (coz Dembele was absent and Vitinha × Hakimi didnt play) vs Liam Rosenior's youngsters.

Strasbourg has arguably the youngest squad in the Top 5 leagues but they play like the elites. Liam Rosenior is doing quite a job there and every talent at that club is a must watch for me because it is like selecting some of the best youngsters in their positions and bringing them to Strasbourg.

Odunayaw:
I think it's a lazy mind's priority to belittle and whitewash history to make whatever point agenda it has to make.

The Russia friendly was a huge relief for some of us that Okoye was solid because who relies on one GK. I remember how cold sweat and chills came upon me when it seemed Nwabali was injured in the last group game at AFCON.

It is a good thing for us to have options in GK ready to go above and beyond. However must one be pulled down for another? Who do una this thing sef

CapitalCee:
Which one on one saves did he make in Afcon? On 2 rare occasion when our tight defence allowed a one to one agaisnt him versus Guinea bissau and Angola, he was either saved by the bar or the ball went wide. The one on one he faced away to Benin in the world cup qualifiers he conceded.

As for Penalties its anybodies game, evem though i will gove kudos to him

BascoVanVeli:
So u want us to drop Nwabali for someone who ran away the last time we had a playoff? Nigeria will never learn.
