Think we re going back to square one... Supreme Court sack AmajuPinnick...

Power tussle again...

forgiveness:
Just say it.

I have been expecting you to bring this news here since last two weeks but no way. I want to tell me u didn't see it?


” Two seasons ago I almost joined Spurs. The Sporting Director of Gent and that of Spurs were schedule to have a meeting with my agent in London after our clash in the Europa League, but my agent didn’t show up”, Simon told Owngoalnigeria.com.
” A fee has been agreed with Gent and what was left was personal terms and my agent was supposed to negotiate it on my behalf. Surprisingly he didn’t turn up. Even when Brighton came for me last season he did same thing”, the Liverpool target further reveal.


Simon has left Harris for a new management team in DW-Sports and he said he is very much at home with the way they are operating and feels no pressure or concern about his immediate future.



” My agent will handle all that has to do with my future. I’m fit and better now and with my contract at Gent running out, I’m not in anyway scared because I trust the team I’m working with now”, he concluded.

Square Zero.... Giwa banned by CAF and FIFA. Will not be recognized by FIFA and CAF. Indefinite Ban by FIFA loading........Dalung wants his brother in the NFF by all means. Really sad. All NFF sponsors will start pulling out one by one. The backlash will be very heavy.

After our world cup ouster, I was completely demoralized by our team's performance to the extent I lost interest in the whole tournament.
You can imagine that the first game I watched since then was the Argentina Vs France and I was glad as the hunter was now hunted . I even stopped visiting this thread for some time.
However, I appreciate you guys who have stayed on as the analysis & banter continues..... For as many that have stayed on, its an indication that we still have the future to contend with and now is the time. Let NFF, coach players and all involved go back to the drawing board.
The major positive I still hold in mind is the fact that we have many young players (who have longer playing days) in the team and more are to come who will be allowed to gel for some time. We have 2 AFCON in 2019 & 2021 to prove our mettle prior to 2022 WC.
The greatest revelation for us is UZOHO. Prior to the WC, the goalkeeping dept was everyone's concern, however, as the tourney began, we never had a course to regret for fielding a young & inexperienced keeper like him. Rather, the heat was more in other departments. I can't discredit the quality of other keepers though, but we are looking more at the future as Rohr used to say that his team is rather for 2022.
On Rohr, he should be more open to risk taking. He is too reserved as a lot kept saying. I BELIEVE WE CAN STILL BE GREAT.
Good bless super eagles, God bless Nairalanders, God bless Nigerians.

Brazil vs Mexico has started...

Couldn't Place a bet before the game started? No Problem.

If you see the letter he sent to NFF Now cc IGP, supreme Court for them to vacate...

Just pity this country... This darling man is not trying at all.. Nobody to checkmate it... Everybody is doing what they like...

AFCON qualifiers coming in next two month this is another distraction.

Another news

No, the Arsenal and La Liga gigs are just eye service. There is nothing concrete going on there, its not like they are sending Arsen Wenger to come and give lectures or something. There are no badges at the end of it and it is normally some young guys who have never been on a touchline before. I know of MFM sending Fidelis Ilechukwu to get his CAF B badge but that's about it. I think the LMC to implement a law that states all coaches in the league must be CAF licensed. If we don't have enough CAF licensed coaches then the clubs should go out of the country and find them. The players should not keep suffering just because.

Yes I know Epl And li laga is not enough.

We still have a very long way to go even those that have UEFA licence and pro have refused to work in Nigeria... I wont blame them.. Can we pay for their services ?

What Dalung does not realize is that Giwa will be a sitting president in mouth only. Nigeria will be banned. We will not participate in any qualifiers or any FIFA or CAF related event. If by September this is not resolved, Seychelles will get 3 points via walkover. Really sad.

BascoVanVeli:
Haba an average fan will have to google these guys. U didn't even add Gylfi Sigurðsson their greatest ever player(don't argue).

Eidur Guðjohnsen is well known to EPL and Chelsea fans even in la liga with Barcelona but I never knew he is from Iceland. It was after goldfish80 kind of ridiculed Iceland that I decided to check for greatest players from Iceland, and behold this small country has produced top players in Europe.

Ásgeir Sigurvinsson is the greatest player ever from Iceland not Gylfi Sigurðsson because he was at one time named the Bundusliga midfield player of the year and 13th best player in the world. He even scored 13 goals to help his club win the Bundusliga and later helped them to the UEFA cup finals.

Even Arnór Guðjohnsen is popular in Europe. He was once the highest goal scorer in the Belgium pro league at the time it was rated in the top 3 leagues in Europe and played in UEFA cup finals with Anderletch.

Gylfi Sigurðsson is rated behind those first two players in Iceland.

We don't have to look in Europe. There are good coaches in other parts of Africa if they are more qualified than our local coaches they should be given a look in.

I must say that the pidgin commentary on supersports is world class. I have totally abandoned the English one.

Joebie:
Pique’s hands was clearly above his head, and adjudged to have done it deliberately. I remember one of SS panelists saying what I said here earlier that it’s natural to raise your hands when u jump to head the ball, however in our case, Rojo’s arms were not above his head. It was clearly not deliberate. Come to think of it, why would he head the ball to his own arms?

He mistimed that ball...that was all his fault..the rule is the rule thou..so far your hand is in unnatural position, you risk a pk....

The supreme court ordered for a retrial at the federal high court and the parties did not serve any motion again. So the issue became mute. What is this stupid boys scout minister on about again ? I guess he asked Amaju for his own cut of FIFA money and Amaju send him call go voicemail. Now he wants to cause small wahala to bring Amaju to the table or see if he can get his Aboki brother in. The same settlement format, can't this idiots ever step up their coercion game ??

Nigeria and corruption. I thought APC is supposed to be fighting kwaruption.

Useless tribalist,if na Yoruba name you are there you no go talk like that.

An Arsenal player remain an Arsenal player even if he is yet to make the team,he is on loan from Arsenal to fc Porto and not Porto B,but you are so dumb to admit that just because of your tribalist way

Useless man

You lack knowledge and you substitute abuse , derogatory rhetoric, and childish name caling for your defination of wisdom.


Firstly, i am not Yoruba, and i am not Ibo although i do speak that language, so i have no idea what you mean by tribalist.


Clubs buy players to sell and make money they may be contractually bound in terms of thier contract and by defination owned by a parent club as Kelechi Nwakali is. But the sad reality is he may never play for Arsenal. Just like Omeruo has a contract in ownership of Chelsea , but is he a Chelsea player in real terms not just ownership


I use the context of whether a player has played for his parent club to define a player as a player of that club, otherwise the player is just a business transaction the club has ownership of.

Otherwise the context is lost and the description misleading.

Kelechi is on loan to Porto, on the back of a outstanding season in the Dutch 2nd tier where he was the most oustanding player Is that the description you would give of him. Otherwise going to Porto is not a great move, he could esily end up in Porto B and his already stuttering career take a further dive. If can not cut in the Dutch 2nd tier , after failing in the Dutch first tier , why do you think hes going to explode in the much higher Portugues league or is that question not rational but tribalistic.

And please do not misrepresent my posts .

You have exposed yourself for what you are.

But if we should be sincere with ourselves no outfield player from the lower leagues of England have been considered in SE. Aina was was on the radar (thanks to Mikel) even before he was loaned to Hull. Aluko didn’t get a look in back then until Hull City was
promotes to the EPL back then. I believe we approached Ibe, not until he was in the EPL. Iwobi was an Arsenal player at least. it’s not an NFF problem, it’s the way most of us see it. Why is it hat every indegemeous coach and foreign coach of SE has hardly looked the way of English lower leagues, except in cases were
we are lacking options in a specified field position? I remember Oliseh when he became coach of SE saying no player playing in the lower league will be considered.
That’s just the consciousness. Until UEFA comes with a ranking system that also accommodates the lower leagues of Europe, it would be hard for you to argue your case, because people will also give you examples of players that came from the inferior leagues in Europe only to come to the EPL to tear the league.

In all this, I’m not saying you are wrong, but people won’t take your argument seriously, unless you are making an argument that we have to spot those talents early before thy are snapped up by England. Saying they should be invited straight to SE, I’m sorry na long thing u dey.

But that's part of the problem, it's totally unjustified because it doesn't stand up to question.

Players who can't make it here are going to the Bundesliga to tear it up. Batshuayi and Ademola have stats that are top level in the Bundesliga. With regards to Ademola he had essentially come from league 1.

It's the top players in the Bundesliga that make it hear nit those who are struggling. Balogun is an exception he is in Brighton as cheap cover at a mere £1.8 million cost.

Our NFF officials also don't really do much to help the situation.

I didn't see it though I was aware Tottenham, Brighton and Monaco were interested in him but I never knew such thing happened.

Anyway, all things work for good. If he moves to Liverpool then it is better.

There are lots of African origin coaches who are denied opportunity in the UK. Qualified and very passionate and noy hungry for egunje who will do a better job than Rohr.

People like Sol Campbell

Arms stretched while in the air is not illegal except it’s above the head.
Next time when you go to the field to play football, try nodding in the air with your arms at your side.

I will have to check if they were ever invited.

When Onomah and Sheyi Ojo were playing in the EPL with Tottenham and Liverpool respectively, were they approached?

You are quick to diss on some certain players.

Anybody who take you serious must be a fool.

I apologize for insulting you but trust me anybody who take you serious is a fool.

If they are not ready to coach our local clubs I won't beg them. The most important thing is the players so as long as the coach helps improve the players I have no problem where he is from.

Aluko got a look while playing for Aberdeen and later with Rangers.

He made the 2013 AFCON list as a Hill city player in the Championship though injury knocked him out.

If you go by that logic that Iwobi was called because he is an Arsenal player then what stops us from inviting our players in Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham? The likes of Tosin Kehinde, Bashiru, Nechemi, Ojo, Solanke, Onomah, Adarabioyo, Bobby, etc are also players from this clubs.

Emmanuel Amuneke was once the coach of Julius Berger and Ocean boys though he was sacked.

Mutiu Adepoju was the General Manager and interim coach of 3SC before he resigned.

These two have UEFA coaching licence.

You have a point. But Ibe is not related to anyone in NFF. Aluko wasn’t as well. Aina wasn’t. You can make a case that we are not systematic in the way we make our approach . But to attribute it to tribalism or godfatherism is not entirely true.

I really don't have any idea about these players.

But on what basis ❓ Club and league proven quality form ❓ Consistent top � class performances.


Please please there is too much talk about non competitive friendly game played against Athletico Madrid. As being a basis for quality.

I tell you sincerely if Athletico Madrid played Shrewsbury Town of league one in a non competitive friendly they would not get rolled over.

So let's see things in context.

Aluko?

Iwobi is Aina's friend.

Anyway, anything can happen. We don't know what went behind the scene.
