Safe to say Captain Ndidi and Captain Ekong are why Nigeria failed to qualify for world cup. End

Super eagles aka Osimhen FC should win this Afcon or bust. After the World Cup disaster. Winning Afcon to pacify the fans abound the the utmost priority . Up super eagles of Nigeria

9JAMac10:
FIFA have allowed clubs to keep African players until December 15 for AFCON, even though they were meant to join their national teams from December 7.

Several African federations believe this is a LACK OF RESPECT, having already scheduled friendly games ahead of the AFCON. Source French newspaper lequipe.

so what concession or compensation did CAF argue for in order to move the afcon that was originally planned to be played in july for the club world cup. So fifa just told them to move the date and they agreed?

I hope we get serious and take advantage of this tactical evolution. Keep in mind the poor handling of our players by the NFF
That alone can deter motivation.

Sir we can’t be blaming nff for the inability of our players not to carry leg or run on the pitches of Africa! The pitch in Morocco is as good as the ones in Europe even the one in uyo no bad!

But my major surprise is d omission of gift orban from a 54 man list …it’s obvious Deres an issue about his nationality

It's sad he may likely not play for any national team till the end of his career. He would have been a great addition if he had played for Nigeria.

The death of football

TheGoodJoe:
Just came to point out something. Notice how Fulham manager, Marco Silva kept throwing in black players. Football is becoming more like a track and field games and in the coming years, black players will rule. Football is going to be more of how fast and how long you can run.

Skills, positioning and intelligence will be reduced by more of running.

Abeg guys make una no vex. I know how this world cup meant to you all. Lets move forward, hoping that the boys will redeem themselves at this AFCON.

Lol. My brother we haven't even started mourning yet. When the tournament starts coming around the corner and people around the world are caught up in the euphoria of arguably the biggest World Cup tournament of all time, and we start seeing all the new debutants, the interesting documentaries on qualified teams, the opening ceremony etc. and meanwhile Nigeria is nowhere on people's lips, but we're hearing about success stories of Morocco, Senegal and other teams etc. Na that time our eyes go blur.

The real pain of this miss will hit us next year when it all begins.

U:S is about to invade Nigeria, terrorists are attacking in all geo-political zones of the country, prices of foods, rent, fuel, electricity, gas, school fees, public transportation e.t.c are increasing... there are more important things to focus on than the S.E.

90 minutes is a long time to waste watching football that the players and the NFF are not serious about and the players are crying about bonuses as if they are not earning thousands of euros in their clubs and as if they are track and field athletes..

it is pointless supporting the S.E..

it will show in the Local league and age grade FIFA competitions when the NFF is serious about football especially if U:S and its friends does not invade Nigeria..

Nice point but we have hardly had a team compromising of only (mostly) black players dominating football. However, what we are seeing happening was already in the making.

Arsenal had a team that went on a strong run that were mostly black players.

Apart from the Keeper - Seaman the team had.

Sol Campbell, Kolo Toure, Lauren, Ashley Cole, Gilberto Silva, Viera, Wiltord, Henry, Quincy and Penant. When they played, they were destructive and I have always looked forward to black teams rising.

Another was apart from Cech, Carvalho and Lampard, Chelsea had Ashley Cole, Alex, Bosingwa,Mikel Obi, Essien, Anelka, Drogba and Malouda.

With the evolution of the man to man tactics growing, football will need more running and I see more teams filled with black players.

I don’t think some of y’all think before you type because why can you say soccer is a black man’s game ?

A black man always has a workhorse role in the game of soccer they never had the brain 🧠 neither the skillset to dominate the sport aside from the physical aspect.

In soccer brain beats physique

In basketball physique is everything

In nfl and rugby physique is everything

In golf f**k your physique

In tennis screw your physique

But in soccer when last does an African country won a World Cup, and how many black men have won the balondor

I was going to say something similar that hope Komenkn is fine and perhaps those closer to him should help check on him. As controversial as his views are he loves Nigerian football and the national team and celebrates it whenever they succeed. He may not like some players but he’s truly passionate about our football

You have a good point. Right now Madrid with 8 black players on the pitch completely dominating Athletic Bilbao. They are winning back loose balls and passes in the midfield with ease. Alonso is learning fast.

There are strong indications that Real Madrid's top executive hierarchy has discussed Victor Osimhen. A potential move is imminent for him to Real Madrid at the end of the season. Nigeria's ex-captain was quoted as saying.
