Nwabali vs Benin Highlights
Let's talk

Thanks so much Basco. People can talk shaa. So they actually established a fallacy that a FIFA Rated Referee didnt blow his whistle and then allowed Nigeria to get away with that Mounie moment? I knew the ref blew but I had no video evidence except that the ref cant make a mess this basic in a high profile WCQs fixture.

And yes, that slight touch save with the score at 3-0. Overshadowed by Nwabali's confrontation in the first half with that Benin forward. Again, people and their sense of focus.

Honestly, like I always say, people will say anything in the name of agenda. Top Video review My Man 🙌🏽

If you seriously think people are only criticizing Nwabali because of bias or favoritism, in spite of the ACTUAL recent events that even materialized the debate in the first place, then I don't know what else to tell you.

It's hard to discuss topics like this when people who are simple-minded, to put it lightly, insist on making everything about agendas and sentiments.

Apparently, it's a crime now to point out legitimate concerns about certain players.

This is why Nigerian football is crumbling in all cardinal directions, with no limit in sight - because people would rather engage with imaginary issues rather than face the reality at hand.

At least make an actual argument for your case instead of trying to assume the motives of honest and concerned fans. THIS is how to make your case.

Rambling about imaginary favoritism is no different from people who make everything about tribe or champion the quota system rubbish.

Let's be guided abeg.

Update on "maestro"

Out of favour Nigeria international midfielder Kelechi Nwakali has been told he stands no chance of playing for English League One side Barnsley by head coach Conor Hourihane.


Nwakali fell out of favour at the club after returning late from his holiday in Nigeria, and was told to look for another club during the summer transfer window with two years left on his contract.

Speaking to the Barnsley Chronicle, Hourihane said: “Do I see him breaking back in? Probably not if I am being totally honest. It’s the same message from the summer. We’re looking for the best scenario for club and player. I probably don’t see him fitting into the way we want to play – being really energetic, aggressive and high-tempo.”

Cocony:
Point of correction: There is nothing wrong about my mindset. Stating the obvious should not make you or any other have any form of tremor if you or others are sincere. I always state that my point must not be accepted to be truths and facts and likewise your points or that of others that seem self-imposed does not equate to NFF or the Coach's final decision.
If people can come up with the Agenda theory and in your opinion their mindset is right they should also label Eric Chelle as having an agenda for scouting for goalkeepers. The logic should follow that trend. In retrospect someone like Okocha and Oliseh that did not play a role in the first round of USA 94 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS WOULD HAVE BEEN REGARDED AS AGENDA WHEN THEY WERE CALLED UP FOR THE 2ND PHASE OF THE WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS. THAT SHOULD ALSO BE AGENDA. THAT WAY YOU ALL SHOUTING AGENDA WOULD SEEM TO MAKE A POINT THOUGH VERY ILLOGICAL AT BEST.
THIS IS MY STANCE.

Again, this post inadvertently proves my point. I still cannot fathom why you feel so hurt because your football opinion is challenged.

Perhaps, your age has something to do it with it, because I deduce you're an "oldie" because of your reference to Super Eagles matches of the 80's, and you think no one should challenge your opinions.

If na so, forget am!. Here na public forum, and people go everly counter your opinion and accuse you of pushing an agenda as they deem fit.

Develop a thick skin, keep an open mind, stop viewing counter posts as an affront to your football knowledge and you'll enjoy this thread.

Best regards.

Another wrong assumption. Being an oldie or young person has no direct bearing with stating truths and facts and quashing wrong illogical statements branded as agenda.
By the way, I am not hurt and when I posted my ideal first 11 for the Gabon game I said constructive criticisms are welcome so how did you come up with the idea that I feel I should not be challenged?
On the contrary,it is some self-imposed experts and their lackeys (that brand themselves as been on Nairaland for a longer period) that suggest by their statements and counters that feel they should not be challenged.

This one is better. This channel is fast becoming my second favorite after football fans tribe.

yinkeys:
We need Ola Aina replacement, a central midfield creator and another centre back

I think the Italian born rb at Brentford should be reached out to once again since he isn’t close to getting any call up to the azurris

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.

The names are related. Cocony starts with CapitalCee

Charles Anazodo made more sense that is progressive as per continuity. The grey headed brother doubts Chelle's competence (which has been proven for taking us to the point of playoffs as it could have been worse on the hands of Peseiro or Finidi).

The case of Justin Madugu's delayed appointment is one borne out of arrogance and indecision on the part of NFF. Something in their minds tells them it will be a stroll in the pack over the Beninoise. If they knew they were meeting the Ghanaians or South Africans at this stage and not the Beninoise, they would have long appointed a permanent manager for the Falcons and opened camp long before now.

Arsenal.... you have started again this season.

Now flogging an Atletico team that demystified Real Madrid in their first madrid derby of 25/26.

Anyway, I hope Time favors Arsenal this season. Arteta has put in the work. We shall see.

Mourinho and Benfica being spanked by Howe's Newcastle.

Antonio Conte's Neapolitan Machines crumbling away at PSV. Historically, PSV always give Napoli problems.
In the Osimhen Era, it was another Dutch side, AZ Alkmaar that were the bogey guys.
Italian Champs in the mud.

Atletico doing a Remo there

Foot soldiers of a self imposed expert that thrives on falsehood to appear as the best are at it again. Behold one of their recent posts:

No. They are not Reigning League Champs.

Na Napoli dey do Remo.

Semid4lyfe, Correct my assumption: A THREAD TAGGED SUPER EAGLES SHOULD DISCUSS SUPER EAGLES AND POSSIBLE PLAYERS FOR SUPER EAGLES.
LIKEWISE, A THREAD FOR EUROPEAN CLUBSIDES HAVE BEEN EXISTING ON NAIRALAND FOR MANY YEARS NOW.

ONE OF YOUR RULE TALKS ABOUT POSTING RIGHT INFORMATION ON THE WRONG SECTION WHILST ANOTHER TALKS ABOUT FALSE INFORMATION AND DERAILING OF THREADS.
IN FAIRNESS TO LAID DOWN NAIRALAND RULES LOOK INTO THE MATTER OF ADDRESSING ME AND CAPITALCEE AS SAME, AS WELL AS COMMENTING ON EUROPEAN CLUBS OR COACHES THAT DO NOT HAVE A DIRECT BEARING ON SUPER EAGLES PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE.

Dem tell you say we dey complain?
What kind of pettiness is this nitori Olohun? It's either you leave this thread for us.

Bruno Onyemeachi subbed in on 52mins for his first UCL appearance in 25/26.

El Kaabi scored for Olympiacos. VAR spots a handball against Barca, Cancels the goal and still gifts Olympiacos a chance to score that goal again but this time from the spot. El Kaabi steps up and scores. 2-1.

ended up stinking the whole place, we need to drop this guy from the super eagles, imagine qualifying for the World Cup and we start this guy against France, Dembele go do am weytin no good

It was a terrible showing from the whole Olympiacos team. And Bruno although not directly involved in any of the 4 goals conceeded after his arrival on field, but Roony Bardhji did get past him easily to help set up Barca's 5th goal. Bruno was an eye sore in that passage of play.

Lol.... Bankygee would be the most pleased. 😂

Bruno Onyemaechi will never be our starting LB. He belongs to the reserves of the Super Eagles. Not even the bench.

Again, I laugh because Zaidu, a better LB, was undermined because of this Bruno. It is well.

Meanwhile, Chrisantus Uche featured for Crystal Palace U21 today in their 5-2 loss vs Stevenage in the EFL Trophy (Southern Group E).

I dont like that Uche is limited to these underage games with Palace. Palace should pls let him leave on loan abeg. Uche was a sure starter in LA LIGA FOR GOODNESS SAKE. Handed the #10 shirt as well at Getafe but because they (Getafe) needed to cash in to ease their financial worries, Uche was pushed out against his original stance of not wanting to leave. Now his gametime suffers.

Since Oliver Glasner doesnt rate him, then loan him!

I read in several platforms and even here " let be praying for Osihmen to be injury free for the playoff" . I also hope he will be injury free but it caught my attention we solely rely on Osihmen.
What happens if Osihmen is not available?
What back up do we have ?

Cecco90:
Tosin Adarabioyo is a wonder . He is waiting at the finishing line

And I read somewhere where Chelle said if he wont join the AFCON squad, he wont play World cup.
Good!
