I would like for us to play them in front of a packed crowd at Abuja national stadium when it reopens. It has been a long time and the rivalry is dying.

Bolowolowo:
We are facing Algeria. Ghana just confirmed the two friendlies a few days ago.

BascoVanVeli:
Una don start. As the head of the organization he is the final decision maker. If he refuses the coach won't be hired.

nelszx:
The NFF has a board that oversees its activities
It's not a one man show, don't make it look like Pinnick is the alpha and omega in the entire federation.

ChrisKels:
Anybody watching Ebuehi versus Groningen?

BascoVanVeli:
No it is me because I am the NFF PRESIDENT

Subzero47:
Algeria is going to reduce our FIFA ratings

do4luv14:
Guy be positive nag

Olulong:
I know it's just a friendly o, but we badly need to win this match to stop folks like this from tormenting us even more

TheSuperNerd:

With 3 rookies in goal I hope Matthew Yakubu starts

Bolowolowo:
It’s a friendly. If we lose, our points won’t decrease significantly. Also, we can balance it out with a win against Tunisia.

TheSuperNerd:
Hahahahahahahahahaha..... So now Clips won't cut it abi?? But it is a similar metric you clowns use naa. You guys see moments in a game when Nacho loses a ball or doesn't get the right pass and b'cos of those moments you tag him not technical.

And is it I who called him a Ronaldinho? Infact the point was not in him being called Ronaldinho... The point was in what he did in the clip but now you want to downplay it and use stats only... Fine.

Alright man.. Let us bring up the stats then.

I believe you agree that Harry Kane is VERY TECHNICAL. And I am sure according to you, Tammy Abraham is also highly technical. Or what about Vardy? He is more technical than Iheanacho is he not? And Giroud too I suppose. Yeah... Who knows?

Let us see what the stats tell us, shall we?

Now please tell me honestly who among these five forwards is the "most technical"?

Infact... Rank them from 1st to fifth... And let us see what results you or anyone in here will get?


This is how folly and pseudo-smart are exposed without hiding. So mister Shemba, the #23 bench warmer of Kom-Minion FC, you have been just been schooled yet again. Now excuse me...I got much better things to give my time to than to one who drops football gaffes for a living.

jimmyiovine:
After the NFF coaches announcement, I went to sleep hoping that when I wake it go be error or mistake. I wake up, no be any error oh. Ladan Bosso + Fatai Amoo in 2020. New decade, same naija way. 2020, what a flabbagasting year

tbaba1234:
It is not fire brigade. They decided on these coaches months ago.

ChrisKels:
In every department, Senegal has at least one world class or top top player.

From the goal-keeping dept - Mendy

Defense dept - Koulibaly

Midfield - Gueye

Forward(attack) - Mane

Icon4s:
Well, these two lads are not new to our youths system especially Ladan Bosso.

I think the NFF have, this time around, chosen to stick with those they know already.

Another opportunity for our locally based coaches to prove their worth. Let's see how it goes.

Their style and tactical approach will definitely not be the modern way. And that alone is.....
