Did it work?

This is the reply I got yesterday evening from the Site Admin from CyberEagles:

Same issue on phone. With and without VPN.

solonnachi:
You no go kill me with laugh abeg

It's true na. 😃

You sabi Cybereagles? If you no sabi you won't understand. 😂

Mujtahida:
I enjoy reading CE too. At least now we know what's happening. So many knowledgeable guys on CE but they go hard on each other with insults. We are quite respectful here.

Lol, true. Apart from occasional visits from aliens, this thread is sanitized.

ekehopp2:
Alright, no problem I will open a thread there to ask the Admins/Moderators.
You will see it. You can Send me an email message with your username/email so I can ask them to check.

Thanks. Reply your mail so that I can send it.

ekehopp2:
Yes, proudly!
The site is over 20 years old. They had storage and security issues.
So now you need to verify before you can log in.
So no blocking, just verification.

Oh wow. That's cool

Well, I always pass the verification stage. The issue I have is with the registration. I've been reading as a guest for a long time, so I'm not an official member yet. And recently I think they've blocked off their threads to people who aren't registered members.

The issue is I've tried registering but it just keeps loading with no end in sight.

Abeg if you can help us reach mods it will be nice. I enjoyed reading insights from the likes of danfo driver and co.

Saw this on CyberEagles.
looks very plausible based on who's available.
Looks like AFCON list too minus injured Ola Aina and Dele-Bashiru.
Osayi-Samuel is not a sure in anyway.
I pity Igoh Ogbu how Eric Chelle just used and discarded him.

Are you a member of Cybereagles? How come the admins are blocking guests from reading or even registering?

Joebie:
We already have Uche. He fits that profile

as regards the a ball holder and carrier

It's not bad if we have 2 ball carriers. That's how we build depth in the squad.

solonnachi:
Can't just believe that Nigeria u17s will miss two editions of this tournament? Chai.... NFF don do us strong thing ooo

U17 WC wey be like our birthright in the 2000s to early 2010s.

I'll wait for NGSuperEagles' post abeg.

Mujtahida:
Haaaa even you? Labeling football conversation as agenda? No naa. This is a new trend on this thread and for the sake of fruitful conversation, we must stop labeling every criticism as agenda driven.

I started this conversation but I didn't not critique Lookman on his playing abilities. Like kennysville opined, it's a criticism on decision making. Others have pivoted and are drawing comparisons between Lookman and Akor. That's fine too because it's a matter of opinion which we can either agree or disagree with. Surely you do not want us to have singular train of opinion.

The way some people reason matters in this thread ehn. Sometimes I don't even bother to chime in because it's not worth it. The amount of strawmen and misinterpretations one encounters here sometimes is weakening. I go just siddon dey look.

Hate and criticism are not the same thing, but on Nairaland Super Eagles thread, they're interchangeable.

Mujtahida:
Nobody has criticized Lookman's footballing abilities. The fact is that he's selfish. Chukwueze too is selfish. But in this last game, he decided to be a team player, a supplier and he was very effective at doing that. In other matches, you see that first and second goal that came from his assist? Chukwueze would rather dribble to the post than be a supplier.

If Lookman can be a bit more unselfish he would be more deadly. When a team is made of unselfish attackers, more goals will be scored by more number of attackers.

I maintain that Osimhen and Iwobi are quite selfless. They don't mind not scoring so long as the team wins.

100%.

I wonder if Chelle is hammering this point home to the boys. He really needs to.

I thought they said she has gone to Spain. Why still posting her results?

Mujtahida:
We don't talk enough about Osimhen's aerial ball control. He's really good at controlling the aerial balls with his head and especially his chest.

We are not milking this beast of an attacker that we have. We should be floating in crosses to this guy mehn.

What do we do in our games besides floating in crosses? Lol. That's literally our entire game strategy. The issue is that we suck at actually making those crosses.

There's a thread already? 😩😩

This game will be do or die 🥲

Mujtahida:
Good pick. Osimhen really needs both an on pitch partner and deputy on the bench. There's this guy with cream colored front patch of hair in Galatasaray who presses together with Osimhen. If we can get him another hunting partner, it would be good.

Bro, what happened to cyberagles? I can't just read as a non member no more. Wasn't so before. I enjoy visiting there from time to time.

I raised alarm about this too earlier on this thread but got no response. It seems not many people here know about Cybereagles.

I DM'd their account on Twitter but got no response. I wonder if they're closing the site down soon.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
i cant blive you people are removing chukwueze again over lookman
This must be juju.

Same lookman we have been palying in all our Qualifiers without result and nearly missed out until 2 yellow cards save us from lookman .

If Nigeria miss blow thier last chance bcoz of this Lookman fever nobody should blame the players.
Becoz there is ablosolutely no reason lookman should be on that field over chukwueze. CHUKWUEZE & SIMON should be maintained until otherwise

Since my experience of watching football coaches has always maintained using
THE LAST TEAM THAT GOT U RESULT UNTIL IT FAILS

I thought Chukwueze is injured?

As VAR don show now abeg make we dey pray for Nwabali o. Make una help me beg am too. Because ehnn...

Lol. That will be all. For now.

jihday:
CAF have confirmed there will be VAR

Lolz. Okay na. Serious drama incoming.

😎

Argentina 😃

Wait oo, has Chippa United played any game since the Telkom knockout on Oct 5? 🤔

I think Chelle should bring in Ahmed Musa and pair him with Osimhen to trouble the Gabon defense. Lookman doesn't have much experience compared to Musa. Moses Simon can continue on the right wing and do his thing.

Also we need Ekong to start. His pace and trickery will be very instrumental to stopping attacks from Bouanga and Aubameyang.

Sugarboyy:
Troos Ekong scored an own goal today in his club El Kholood 2-3 home lose

Na part of the experience as a veteran player.

BankyGee:
Where do I crawl out? 😏

Osimhen matters na. Is this a trick question? 😂😂

TheSuperNerd:
Drop the name K.Nwakali for good or bad and Charlesemeka85 crawls out.

Drop Porto is bigger than Fulham, Komekn crawls out

Drop National football teams Jobs, Elyte89 and his ineffective lawyer crawl out.

Drop the name Amaju Pinnick and speak as his Voltron, and Humility33 crawls out.


The ways of this thread are not hard for he/she who pays keen attention.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

charlesemeka85:
Barca can’t afford him

Would have been nice to see Osimhen play in El Classico 🫠

Bossoflife25:
Gabon almost defeated the Ivorians home and away. Infact they struck the woodwork on both occasion.

Their midfield is strong and fast, and with Auba they have a predator who could punish any team. The chance we gave to Benin or South Africa were too much. Someone like Auba will punish us!

If we are going to play 4-4-2. This will be my team

Osayi/Awaziem Federick Bassey Sanusi

Chukwu Onyeka/Onyedika Ndidi Moses/Iwobi/Dele Bash

Lookman and Osihmen

Will Chukwueze make it. I thought I read somewhere that he's injured and he might not get playing time in the playoffs.

My Suggestion on how the Government can Solve the NFF Conundrum without eliciting FIFA's ban

Posted this in the Super Falcons thread and felt it should also put this here.

The corruption and incompetence problem that pervades the Nigerian football federation isn't new, and it can sometimes appear like an unsolvable problem. This however isn't the case, should you have the person with the needed political will, it is one that can be easily solved without the appearance of interference that could elicit a ban from FIFA.

How then can the Federal Government solve this problem?

1. The President has to be on board for this to work? Without the President this may be extremely difficult as you need the leverage of his office to pull several strings for this to be possible.

2. The composition of the NFF board is largely political. 37 of the 44 voting members of the NFF delegate are state chairmen. These chairmen from the states 100% of the time determine who the NFF chairman is and they almost always pick amongst themselves the next NFF President.

3. How do State chairmen emerge? The state government almost always picks them. So the governor of each state of the federation indirectly determines who the NFF President is. They of course of a semblance of an election but the governor's choice is always the end result.

4. These positions usually are given as reward for party loyalty just like they do the ministry of sports at the federal level. I said this to say it isn't exactly consequential to the governors as they can easily cede the position with the right incentive.

5. With the political will, the President only needs to request for each governor to fire their state FA chairman and put someone of competence of his choosing. He doesn't even need all 37 to get the desired outcome, 23 governors are enough to get this done. With the right incentives this isn't a difficult ask from the president to any governor in the federation.

6. After, replacing them with the right people, you can either easily impeach Gusau following the NFF constitution, or just wait till next year and elect the person of his choosing as next NFF President as he now has the votes to do so. I'll go with option 2 as it prevents the need for court cases and the likes.

7. Upon electing the new board of competent people, the first goal will then be to change the NFF constitution. Item one will be to overhaul the voting process of the NFF, wrestling power from state FA chairmen as delegates and instead gives voting power to technocrats, player association, and career administrators. Include laws in the new constitution that incentivizes competence and makes changing bad leadership easier should it be necessary.

8. With a change in constitution, you remove forever the sway politicians have over Nigerian football.

There are other methods than one can use, but all boils down to political will.

Given the present state of the country, this one na mission impossible.

Might Osimhen be heading to Juventus next?
Spalleti helped develop him to his current level

Napoli and Italy have given me PTSD abeg.

If Osimhen is to leave Galatasaray to any league, it should be Spain, Germany or England.

FT: Malawi 🇲🇼 2-0 Angola 🇦🇴

The Malawi Women's Football Team ( Scorchers) have qualified for their first ever WAFCON finals in Morocco with a hard fought 2-0 victory against the resilient Angola in a match played at Bingu National Stadium on Tuesday.

The Scorchers have qualified with a 2-0 on aggregate after the first game in Angola ended goalless.

Faith Chinzimu was the hero of the day with a brace in a space of a single minute to bring pride and joy to the nation.

Brotherhood choke for this squad. 😭🤧

solonnachi:
This is the worst result the Falcons have recorded. So disappointing. Chai ..

And it's a home result for that matter.

CornOak:
FULL-TIME.

Nigeria 1 – 1 Benin

I didn't watch the game but this score line just looks highly disappointing.
