Let's try Amas Obasogie, he's better than Uzoho. The former Bendel Insurance goalie.

Is he in the Afcon squad?

dominique:
Uzoho better maximise this opportunity. Na Maduka do himself not that I blame him, the coach couldn't guarantee him enough playing time so he chose club over country. Now he has picked up a straight red card and will be serving a 3 match ban which will end when AFCON ends, the same thing happened to Mohammed Kudus last AFCON.

Can a club ban affect Afcon

The injury should continue

Ragingthunder:
B brother your only option is UZOHORROR

Uzoho is technically better than him.

Dogalmighty17:
Good. Let him use the time to keep betting and gambling. I've never seen a more arrogant Nigerian goal keeper and he isn't even good.

I saw something up there. Is our coach from Mali? I don't understand. I just confirmed he is from Mali. NFF!!!

Have you been living under a rock Chelle is a Malian.

GanagiBitrus:
I'm kind of curious that most other countries can produce 3 or more decent goalkeepers & we are struggling to even produce 1.

Even Cameroon our next door neighbour, I have seen over 3 different decent goalkeepers man their post in recent years.

When you have a football house that is only decent at tournament attendance that will be the case. Outside tournaments I doubt anything happens in that place.

Thousands of Nigerians play football professionally, thousands more amateurs and age undergrads, yet the football house cannot search for and cultivate a steady stream of goalkeeping talent. That is just laziness.

I think the bottom line is for Nigerians who care to make a sporting media talent show to promote this aspect of the game and force the products on the nation.

Yes

How?

Focusmind:
Chelle wan take style bench am, try another keeper.

The two may have agreed on this lamba

It's possible

ayorwizz:
you just start to dey watch ball?

Can't even take someone who calls it SOCCER serious anyways

Lol......I've probably been watching football before you were born.

The first world cup I watched featured Paolo Rossi of Italy.

I was watching the English Premier League when Fashanu was still playing.

The show was called "Big League SOCCER" and featured all the leagues on the globe.

'Nuff said.

ShedrachU:
Yes

Then, absolutely.
Might be our eureka moment.

Have you seen the goal he conceded in the friendly against Egypt 2 weeks ago?

I personally don't think we have a reliable goalkeeper in this tournament.
As a nation, we need to pray that Harcourt develops massively because he's the closest I've seen in terms of confidence and size though he needs to massively upgrade his ability

negative ball knowledge

BabaO2:
Blessing in disguise.
That guy is just useless and primitive, feigning injuries at every of his skillless and clueless mistake. I cant stand watching him to be honest

If I say you get sense, na understatement. Very useless Keeper. Whether his injury is real or fake, it's still a blessing in disguise. Who knows, whoever the Coach selects wl serve.

Time for the back ups to shine

I just hope the injury keeps him away from the goalpost throughout the remaining matches of AFCON.

Freksy:
If his injury is confirmed, how come some of us said he was feigning the injury?

Using it as excuse

Another thing is unnecessary yellow cards from time wasting

Not that the back ups wont conceed those goals but at least we won't see all those unnecessary drama n time wasting at the goal post

Ope o

We've been told this guy has injury even before the Afcon commenced . I was surprised to finally see his name in the list .
what Chelle telling us again now?

You brought an injured keeper to Afcon and made a fit on drop out

Sharp...

Reference:

That I don't know, he was at the world cup qualifier's squad.

Make e rest small. Make we rotate that position.

That's fucking good news

We seem to have a short memory. 2 years ago, we were all clamouring for a new goalkeeper. We felt that Okoye failed us by conceding a tame goal against Tunisia in the 2021 Nations cup and Uzoho doing same against Ghana in 2022 world cup qualifiers against Ghana. The last straw was when Uzoho punched the ball into his own net against saudi Arabia. Nwabali came to the rescue and has performed creditably since the. I do not like his attitude also but he seems to be our best bet for now. A tournament is not a testing ground. If injured, let the coach pick another person but we need to be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water. We still need Nwabali for now. This is the link to the match where Uzoho punched the ball into his own net -

Please learn what a major blow is. Thats a blessing

Useless and primitive? When he was shining for the Super Eagles, he was not useless, right.

By the way, you can do better by replacing him!

We hear.
Someone else should step into the spotlight 😎

MrPresident1:
Nwabali is not match fit, and Nigerians have used their bad mouth to intimidate the guy into submission. Uzoho that ball entered his toros and Ghana beat us in Abuja to qualify for the last works cup may now have his chance for redemption.
n
But if ball enter him toros again na to go resurrect Alloy Agu o

Lolz.. Very funny. Make we call Vincent Eyeama from retirement

Super eagles cry cry baby

Didn't know someone else feels same, I'm sorry for him getting injured but it's best for Nigeria as a team right now. He feels like his father is the NFF president.

Is not a major blow , it's a majoy boost for the super eagle's
