My Stand:
I'm amazed by the turn of things. Theoritically speaking, the President's move is in order but practically, what happens to other age grade competitions(age cheats or not)? Are the falconet also doing badly, the eaglets, the olympic team, flying eagles, the local league club's representation in continetal football and the league itself? When we put new people eventually, are we going to win the world cup? Will Jonathan still be the President till the purported 2 years? Finally, If a man has 5 children and the most senior or most loved is always failing in an exam of a particular school, do you withdraw other children from that school? Now people (more than 80%) are celebrating. Remember this same people asked for foreign coach through radio phone-in shows such as Brila fm and on many other shows, some people clamoured for that, now the same people are crying foul. My conclusion is that we must not throw out the bad child (Super Eagles) with the 'bad' water (NFF + this set of Super Eagles). By the time we are ready to go back, the likes of our present crops of upcoming stars in the Eaglet would have become 'tired legs'. Let's use EFCC and ICPC to force their resignation instead of this 'ban ban ban scenario'. I'm laughing in my mother tongue. God bless Nigeria!

12large:
why are you guys making it seem like if sani lulu is a killer, i can bet anybody this current nff has been one of its best, its main problem is that they always hire wrong coaches, but that is not enough to ban us. rydym we ban our self only from nations cup in 1996 but can ban us for 1998, now we are banning ourself totally from international football do you know how many years fifa might ban us

Eguavoen on standby for Lars

Posted: 2010-06-26 14:16

Austin Eguavoen will be handed the Super Eagles job if Lars Lagerback decides not to take up the extension he has been offered by the Nigeria Football Federation.

A top official told KickOffNigeria.com over the weekend that Lagerback informed the NFF that he will have a response to their offer in two weeks, after consulting with his family.

“We discussed with him and he promised to get back to us in two weeks. For now, he is going on holiday and needs to spend time with his family before making a decision.”

In the event that Lagerback turns down the offer, the official told KickOffNigeria.com that a process was already in place for a replacement.

“From the beginning, when we employed Lagerback and his assistants, the structure was put in place already in case something like this came up. So if Lagerback decides not to return, there is already a technical team in place headed by Austin Eguavoen to take charge of the team.

“We have a Nations Cup qualifier in early September and we do not have any time to waste searching for a new coach. We have confidence in the people who are there now, and we believe they can do a good job.”

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has agreed to visit Nigeria for seven days to educate Nigerian coaches on modern tricks of the round leather game and the best way to identify hidden talents in the country.


This was the outcome of his meeting with Nigerian officials on Thursday at the Redisson Hotel, Sandton, Johannesburg.


Wenger met with the Nigerian representatives led by the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Alhaji Ibrahim Bio.


Others at the meeting were the Director-General of the NSC, Patrick Ekeji, and a former skipper of the Super Eagles, Austin Okocha.


After the meeting, Ekeji told our correspondent that the deliberations went well with Wenger.


Ekeji said, “Wenger is passionate about Nigerian football and he believes we can do better in the future if we work towards that.


“He has agreed to be with us to give our coaches useful tips to help our young players. Football development is vital and we just have to embrace it.


“We know that Wenger is a coach that grooms young players and that is what we are looking at in Nigeria at the moment.”


Wenger however urged Bio to contact the management of Arsenal for a convenient time that will be fixed for the programme.


“The meeting was okay and I believe we can work it out soon,” he said.

Dr Kitaun:
U are foolish to add Yakubu to your list . . .ODE !

SAfrica201:
Please I want to be proved right or wrong: I don't think there has ever been any serious footballer known to chew bubble gum during football matches?

I mean, I've gone down memory lane and I can't think of any at all. Yakubu therefore, to all intents and purposes, cuts the picture of a caricature footballer, a comic character, totally and irrevocably useless.

He deserves to be banned for life from ever playing in the National Team again or alternatively made to under sex transplant and then transferred to captain the Female National Team, the Falcons. Obafemi Martins should be demoted to captain Julius Berger whilst Kaita should go for a mandatory psychiatric test after which he should be transferred to captain the Nigerian Fire Service football team.

Oh, these set of players simply ruined us!

As for LagerBack, his contract should be immediately terminated and put on the next available fastest plane to Sweden! Shuaibu Amodu and Samson Siasia should now co-manage the Super Eagles preparation for the Nations Cup and Brazil 2014.

Super Eagles defender Joseph Yobo has promised that the players will lay down their lives on the Moses Mabhida Stadium pitch in Durban against South Korea in a crunch Group B match on Tuesday.


“On Tuesday everyone is ready to fight and die for the colour of the country,” the Everton defender told mtnfootball.com on Monday.


“We now have a possible mission towards the next round.


“When we walked off that pitch against Greece, we thought it was all over but now there is a second chance for us.


“Many people insist it will be impossible but we have been written off several times during the qualifiers yet we made it here.”
