Can Chelle and the NFF still convince William Osula?

Newcastle up 3-1 vs Relegation Battlers, West Ham. Tottenham fans watching will be kissing their screens today. Lol... but Chelsea awaits them tomorrow.

Idemudia Osula is made for Denmark

Nomyth:
Barnsley to keep Nwakali for next season.

i thought he fought with the coach that left him on the bench. Seems like they made up.

this our foreign born acquisition steps in Nigeria. It does not seem very successful. Do you feel its because we only aim for the high and almost sure talents in england alone unlike morocco, coted ivoire and senegal who poach talents from italy, belgium, netherlands, france?? Or are the nff scouting guys just inefficient?

Scouting is about the simplest thing any one can do,even the dumbest person from this thread can do,even you can identify most of our foreign born players across Europe from the comfort of your home,How much more professionals,coaches and agents paid to do the job?

Getting them to play for us goes beyond just scouting and identifying them,how about those players willingness to commit to our course?
This is not about shielding the football governing body for their ineptitude.

For the bolded,
As big as Nigerian football culture we are,do we really need quantity or quality talents that can compete against the best and win us trophies?
We should be aiming not just to qualify for world cup but to play in the semifinals, or possibly win it. Only true quality talents can take you that far.

Getting the very best,as the likes of Olise, Saka,Mbape, Eze,etc. is what makes the acquisition seems difficult for them.

TheSuperNerd:
Banky I can see that you no dey use Sofascore ratings again. U no rate their ranking system anymore ever since their faux pas on Osimhen abi? 😂😂😂 This is passionate beefing. Lol

Meanwhile on Bassey... another monster performance. Won all his ground duels. 7 of them.

Tackles 100✅️
Ground duels 100✅️
Even Dribble na 100✅️

Frank may be the Tank but Bassey is the Tanker 🚛⚓️

Sofascore na eediots 😂


These guys will legit give Osimhen a 6.1 or 6.2 rating in a game where he scored and Flashscore or FotMob will give him an 8+ rating for the same match.

It has started since he was at Napoli, I don't trust their rating system again lol 😂

Arthur Okonkwo 🧤🇳🇬🚀🔥

How can we get the likes of Eze and Oliseh when we can't even get the likes of Nwaneri and Ugochukwu? You need to stop making excuses for the useless NFF and Ibrahim Gausau. Even Pinnick with his mango head was able to get the likes of Aina, BASSEY, Iwobi etc to play for Nigeria. Players we still rely on today but that useless alhadji cannot even get low hanging fruit. What does that tell you? Our infrastructure is rubbish. Only 1 caf approved stadium, No training facilities, no development plan, no grassroots plan this is the state of Nigeria football today. That makes us unattractive to anyone. Until we fix our NFF and reform it we will continue to lose out. A time will come when the likes of Morocco and Drc will be beating us home and away without breaking a sweat because we lack quality. But yea o keep making excuses for incompetent people. That's a Nigerian tradition.

Dem never release unity cup list yet?

DRC World Cup Squad 2026.

No Jorthy Mokio of Ajax.

No Senny Mayulu of PSG.

I guess the switch processes wont be ready in time for the duo.

Maybe it's just me sha but this team looks uninspiring on paper

If they dont get Senny Maluyu and Johnny Mouko now they may lose them in the future. I see France with Zidane taking over doing everything possible to keep Maluyu. Same thing with Belgium and Mouko.

It looks so undewhelming. I still cant belive we lost to these guys. SMH

Aje, he is on the same level as Buffon, Casillas, Van Der sar, schmichael Snr, Allison, De Gea, Neuer, Kahn, Enyeama and co.

Exactly, that's why Eric rightly pointed out that it was African Magic.

Chelle's list is ready but,
NFF are doing the usual
Get ready to see some funny names

The Draw for Afcon 2027 is tomorrow (tuesday, May 19) and Former Super Eagles Captain, William Troost Ekong is one of the draw assistants.

We may possibly meet Ghana, South Africa, Burkina Faso or Mali as they are in Pot 2

I'm well aware. But I am not worried about them. Not one bit.

This is a Super Eagles Team now well blended and still growing stronger under Eric Chelle and we are going for that 2027 Afcon Title.

Even with the disgrace of missing out on another world cup these criminals still have the belly for more criminality? shame no dey ever catch these people at all?

South Africa, Burkina Faso and Mali are in Pot 1

Damn. So ActuFoot got it mixed up. Well, was never bothered.

Samueltemi337:

Afcon attendee, Usman Mohammed in action for Ironi Tiberias away at Hapoel Jerusalem in Israel's Ligat Ha'al. They lead 1-0.

Andrew Idoko in action for Hapoel. No John Otomewo today probably due to a knock but there is Jidechukwu Ibeh Ransom on the bench for Hapoel.

Wait so the 2025/26 EPL's highest scoring teen, Eli Junior Kroupi, 19 of Bournemouth could turn out for Portugal? And is also eligible for CIV? I thought the lad was still committed to the French despite not being named to the final WC Squad.

Interesting.

Seems there's a discrepancy somewhere
The list I saw, SA is in Pot 2
