Passionate Rant from a Patriotic ⚽️🇳🇬 fan -WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS SEGREGATION WITHIN THE TEAM!! THE UK BOYS ARE ALWAYS DISTANCING THEMSELVES FROM THE OTHER BOYS!! THEY SHOULD ADDRESS THIS. I DON’T SEE ANY COHESION AMONG THE BOYS!! Has anybody made such observations?
Let them translate it on to the pitch no one will be bothered. If they feel superior let them show workings.

Honestly speaking this might be the most handsome set of guys to play for the national team. These players look more like, fashion icons rappers and Hollywood celebrities than actual soccer ⚽️ players. Bring back the rugged and rough looking street boys hahaha. Rooting for super eagles as we match into the Afcon 2025 tournament
Their opponents knows this and they are taking advantage of it ....i will prefer to have a player that look like Taribo West, Gola Kante ..... and Balotellii , who gives result than to have David Beckham ,look without a result ... we need more business minded set of players , not the fashionistas . t

Dude’s father is from France and his mum Malian, I don’t know why Nigerians keep referring to him as a Malian and he actually complained about this in his interview with Segun’s Odegbami. Though he played for the Malian national team in his days as a player.

Calm down and blame who shared only these handful of photos on the super eagles page if you had dug deeper and search for more photos you would noticed your statement is untrue

My starting XI against Tanzania if everyone is fit.

Nwabali
Ryan (still don't fancy Osayi in RB Position)
Ogbu
Bassey
Zaidu
Ndidi (Captain will start but will love to see more of Ebenezer and Nnadi to see if they can function in that position)
Iwobi (Weaker opposition on paper should afford him more room to be an attacking influence)
Fisayo (Has good attacking instincts. Could also drift to the left giving Lookman space to operate in the center with Osimhen)
Chukwueze
Lookman
Osimhen

Subs: Akor, Fago, Ebenezer/Nnadi, Ejuke, and Simon

It's crucial that Chelle doesn't make the mistake JP made of underutilizing his bench. He's also prone to confusing the profile of his players.

With the right attitude and determination I think Coach Eric has the tools to achieve something special.

Love them too. The vibe and energy they bring is unmatched.

Felt for them especially after the Congo loss. Particularly one lady who was crying unconsolably like say the love of her life break her heart.

Please, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro is not a number 6 although he can "makeshiftly" play 6 (already did so once or twice in Serie A).

Akinsanmiro is a Box-to-Box No.8, a mezzala who penetrates the LHS and Central final third zones. A ball carrying, vertical passer who can also send inswingers when he attacks the halfspaces especially on the left.

Nnadi, on the other hand, is best suited to the #6 role and is the one we could test there. But in all, Ndidi is a sure starter at CDM.

NIKE TO REISSUE NIGERIA’S ICONIC 1996 HOME KIT IN RETRO RELEASE

Nike is preparing to bring back the legendary Super Eagles 1996 home jersey, one of football’s most iconic kits.

The near-identical remake celebrates Nigeria’s historic Olympic gold in Atlanta and is expected to drop in two versions, including a special edition likely featuring Jay-Jay Okocha.

An official release date is yet to be confirmed, but anticipation is already high among fans and collectors worldwide.

And see the confidence at which NFF President went for FIFA world cup draws and shine teeth for camera. They were assured that Nigeria will qualify
He went to represent the Super Eagles in absence , unknown to the fans that Glass House was cooking.

I believe FIFA's final verdict favouring a playoff between Nigeria and Cameroon. But I wonder how Sudan will feel since they had complained , I don't know if they submitted any form of legal petition to FIFA. Remember Sudan finished 3rd in the group that had Sengal as the automatic winner.
