I guess some people have money and this economy dey favor dem

Maybe I am not familiar with Rema songs but I will likely enjoy an Olamide or Flavor concert more as a Nigerian. For one these 2 have more hit tracks and bangers that Rema
To be fair, most are headline concerts so there'll be other artistes in the line-up who will perform but still the tickets are too pricey.

I recall Paulo (Iyabo Ojo's husband), a show promoter saying a few years ago that Naija artistes have priced themselves away from their local fans, and this ticket prices dey shout that point.

I tire. Even the top-rated coaches get it wrong in big games. No be Pep Guardiola choke for 2021/2022 UCL final? The same coach won the UCL the following 2022/2023 Season.

We cannot be sacking coaches all the time. The Super Eagles need some coaching stability. I want Eric Chelle to be given the grace of the 2025 and 2027 AFCONs.

You still wan meet two countries wey you no fit win for over 420 minutes of football,na so some dey shout they want to play Ghana they want to play Ghana until CAF put us in the same group for world qualifiers, they denied us WC,our eyes open.

SA used to be an easy win for us,by right now,I'm no longer interested in meeting them at all except against Super Falcons.
I do not subscribe to a defeatist mentality. If you get carryover for course, you go write am again believing you'd pass.

SA could not defeat us in 120 and 180 minutes of football in the AFCON and WCQs respectively. Even DR Congo needed penalties to get past us.

I'd like to meet them again to ascertain if the results against us was a one-off or not.

U guys with these generic complaints. Did u even watch our last game? If u did u will know Samu was doing good before he was subbed off. In fact some would say he shouldn't have been subbed off.
I agree. I'll add that Lookman too shouldn't have been removed when he was. Twice in the first half, he got behind the Congolese right back.

The first substitutions that ought to have been made was removing Iwobi for Onyedika or Alhassan to shore up the midfield.

Then maybe later when the pressure was mounting switch to a 5 man defence and 5-3-1-1 by introducing an Awaziem or Ekong in the 2nd half. Ejuke and Simon were very ineffectual both offensively and defensively, and only brought pressure on on our wing backs, especially Benjamin Fredericks.

Then other substitutions would have followed based on the flow of the game. Well hindsight is 20-20. I hope we meet DR Congo and SA in the AFCON. I wan see wetin go sup.

Problem is Eric Chelle may be punished by FIFA/CAF disciplinary committee for his conduct during the penalty shootout, and may be given a touchline ban . So he may not sit on the bench in our first few games at the AFCON.

Do you know why the Narcos do not kill American agents?

Answer: Killing an American agent has dire consequences because the US treats it like an attack on the country, and this brings the full wrath of the American government against the cartels.

The American response go loud. The pressure, the intelligence, the sanctions, the military-style operations, everything go increase and America will hunt down the killers to the last man.

But what do we have in Naija? A Brigadier General of the army was killed by Boko Haram, and what do we see? Crickets. No crackdown. No serious intelligence push. Just more chaos. Terrorists still dey move freely on highways. School girls still dey get kidnapped. Churches and communities still dey under siege.

And this is due to the failure of the government and the inability of the Military and Intelligence agencies to act. The terrorists sense fear and have turned the country to their playground and are daily expanding their theatres of operation.

To say I am disappointed in PBAT will be an understatement. At this point, make hin just do and getat in 2027. His failure must not be rewarded with a 2nd term.

When it comes to playing in Africa, there is an element of Physicality and grit involved. Most of the tackles we see in Africa, if it were in Europe, it's straight red card. But when it is europe, there is always wits involved. We get edged either through narrative of aggression, or through bad calls from referees or better yet lack of self belief which still comes down to colonial mentality that makes you think White people are always better than you
No offense but the emboldened is nonsense. There are standard rules and guidelines that referees follow for officiating matches and these rules do not vary by location.

A red card offense in Europe is same in Africa or anywhere else.

Moreso, with the introduction of VAR, even if a referee misses a card-able foul, the VAR will see it and draw the attention of the referee. and the offending player go still collect.

I think the reason why European, South American and now Asian countries (Japan, South Korea) outwit African teams is due to superior tactics. They play with structure, discipline, and clear game plans. They utilize fast transitions, exploit space efficiently and anticipate opponents movies. They are also well drilled in their adopted formations and emphasize team work.

African teams,in contrast, often rely more on individual talent and physicality, which can be brilliant but is easier to predict and counter at the highest levels.

Na the reason be that.

Shattuck:
I disagree with you, most especially the part you said the bonus row is the only thing you would fault about the NFF, if we are being honest the NFF is the biggest culprit in all of this, after the last Afcon especially the final against Ivory Coast a lot of Nigerians weren’t convinced with Jose Poseiro, they wanted a change yet the NFF remained undecided about weather to keep him or fire him, eventually we read in the news that they wanted him to sign a new contract with reduced salary, for a responsible organization, the quality of the coach should be top priority yet what the NFF was most concerned about was how to take advantage of spending less on a coach so they can embezzle the rest, eventually Jose poseiro left the job, a responsible organization would eventually quickly undergo the technical process of hiring a new coach identifying a quality coach that fits the style of play , for months the NFF never made a move, the NFF was lackadaisical in its approach, after a long while they brought In finidi George to come and try his luck, now by technical ability and profile neither finidi George nor Jose peseiro match the profile in terms of knowledge and achievements for these set of coaches to be chosen yet the NFF went for them, the NFF never gave an explanation on why these men where chosen to lead the national team, I figure maybe because they were the cheapest option for them, teams across Africa are hiring decent coaches. Even after finidi George was fired, it still took the NFF a long while to get Eric Chelle, now you talked about the bonus row, that alone is a a major flaw that proves the inefficiency of The NFF, every coach is being owed, from Rohr, to poseiro even the players how then can you demand 100 percent from them as a football organization when you aren’t giving even 10 percent of performance as football administrators, if you notice Nigerian football is almost completely dead this decay isn’t just about the super eagles, league football, youth football e.t.c. Ibrahim Gusau and his board needs to go, if we don’t demand this they will continue to act irresponsibly, I am not taking the blame off the players too, we all know how those early qualifying games under poseiro, finidi and Eguavon cost us.
I did not absolve the NFF of blame but your arguement still leans too heavily on the NFF as if they tied the players legs on the pitch.

Also, you're rewriting history. Jose Peseiro was employed on a 70k USD/month contract but after some mixed results and difficulty paying his salary, the NFF offered him a reduced 50k USD salary to stay on and take the team to the AFCON which he accepted.

He refused to renew the 50K USD/month contract when it expired at the end of AFCON, and demanded an increased salary to stay on as coach stating he had offers from other places.

After failing to reach an agreement with the NFF, JP announced his departure and the NFF moved on to appoint his deputy Finidi George as the substantive coach which I hailed and supported at that time because Finidi had the highest coaching badge, and some experience working in Europe, deputizing JP and coaching in the NPFL.

Your assertion that lots of Nigerians wanted JP gone after the AFCON is not entirely true. Reactions to JP continuing as coach was mixed. I wanted him to continue because he showed his tactical acumen and flexibility after the qualifiers and first AFCON game by deployed a 3-5-1-1 formation that fixed our goals leaking issue, and got us to the FINAL. I mean, from 4-3-3, JP switched to a 3-5-1-1 that made us defensively disciplined, solid and dispatched teams playing some prime catenaccio ball akin to Italy of 2006 world cup.

I also think you overestimate the Super Eagles brand with your quality of coaches statement, and we have to be realistic with the kinda coaches we can appoint.. There's no way we can attract first class coaches like Ancelotti, Guardiola. Mourinho and the likes. They're way above our league. Even the first class Africans/African experienced coaches like Pitso Motsimane, Hugo Broos, Herve Rennard are above our league. I think the right profile of coaches for the Super Eagles are young African, European, South American coaches who are within the age bracket of 40-55. and are eager to make a name for themselves. They also are moderate with their salary expectations. Think coaches like Pedro Goncalves, Djamel Belmadi, Aliou Cisse etc So by my assessment, Eric Chelle is a perfect fit for the job.

As for Finidi, with the benefit of hindsight, I agree he wasn’t ready. But even if Pep Guardiola was coach, the same players that struggled to beat Lesotho would still be the same players. National team coaches don’t perform magic. They work with what is available.

This NFF is the biggest culprit angle ignores the biggest elephant in the room, the players, who did not perform at the level required. You mentioned those early qualifiers. Exactly!. That is where we lost the plot. Even with all the NFF wahala, you don’t drop points at home to Lesotho. You don’t lose against Benin on a neutral ground. That one is not bonus issue or NFF delay. That’s players lacking hunger and performing poorly.

NFF didn't ask Ndidi to play the ball wide one-on-one with the Zimbabwe goalie in Uyo. NFF didn't instruct Troost Ekong not to tackle the Zimbabwean player that scored the 89th minute equalizer against us in Uyo. NFF didn't ask Troost Ekong to score an own goal from a non-threatening square ball in SA. NFF didn't ask Ndidi to get in the way of Chukwueze to possibly score our second goal against DR Congo. NFF didn't ask Ndidi not to clear the ball that led to DR Congo's equalizer. NFF didn't ask Bassey, Simon and Ajayi to play poor penalties. I could go on and on.

NFF has blame. Nobody is arguing that. Their administrative ineptitude is embarrassing. But to pin everything on them while giving the players and coaches a lighter share of the blame is inaccurate

NFF failed in organization (10%). Coaches failed in tactics (20%) Players failed in mentality and execution (70%).

Again, all the laurels we have won in football have been in spite of the NFF. If the players had the spine. mentality, and fortitude, the Super Eagles would have qualified in spite of the NFF.

I rest my fingers.

QueenJazz:
I'm even tired of talking of these players. If you ask me, it's high time we start focusing on the cankerworm eating deep into our football: The NFF (No Future Foundation).

What's paining me is that most Nigerian football fans are fickle and have short term memory. I won't be surprised if this issue is swept under the rug in the next 1-2 weeks. We need to hold NFF by the neck and not let go at all.

The Super Eagles fell yesterday, and it hurts to say this, but with Madugu in charge and with the rubbish we played in the last WAFCON. qualifiers, the Super Falcons might be next. 😩
If we boot out the current NFF board and replace them with a different set of people, it'd still be the same thing.

I've been following Nigerian football since '94, and I dare say the early to the late 90's was the only time we had a semblance of a proactive and functional NFF. I think Emeka Omeruah, and Abdulmuminu Aminu were the Chairmen then. That period also coincided with our world cup qualification, U-17 world cup, AFCON and Olympic football triumphs.

Since then, it's been a steady decline. and subsequent NFFs have been worse. Despite the shoddy NFF, we've had some football triumphs. AFCON in 2013, Back to Back U-17 world cups in 2013 and 2015, multiple WAFCONs etc.

My point is, all our football laurels have been in spite of the NFF. I applauded the NFF when Finidi was appointed, and also when he was sacked. The only thing I'll fault the NFF for in our failure is the bonuses issue that led to the boycott of training because FG released funds to the NFF to clear the bonus backlogs and also subsequent payments but the NFF used the money to settle other internal matters.

Every other thing, I'll put on the players 70% and 30% on the coach. I mean, look PK wey Bassey, Simon and Ajayi play. That onr na NFF too?

On Super Falcons, Madugu is. not a bad coach tactically. My issue with him is the shutting out of certain players and the home-based quota thing he seems to be implementing. He's also failed to realize that some players are past their best before dates and he's still giving them call ups. If he selects his squad without sentiments and bias, picks the best 11 to start the matches, we'd do well.

Baba, questions for you

1. You dey play ball?
2. You don pull hamstring before?

I have ...about 5 years ago during my normal saturday morning football sessions.

I was pressing blocked pure water to the thigh for like 5 minutes everyday and rubbing deep heat ointment.

Despite all these, it took me about 3 months before I could resume playing football again.

With the stakes and the physicality of the DR Congo players, there's no way Osimhen would have lasted the remaining 45 minutes.

Abeg, e good as coach commot am to save am for AFCON.

Me, I want us to meet DR Congo again at AFCON. I want to see what Eric Chelle will do, and how the team will play differently.

Osimhen felt his hamstring at the end of the first half and walked off the pitch with some discomfort. Still he wanted to resume the 2nd half.

The coaching crew made a calculated decision to substitute him so he wouldn't aggravate it, and he could play in the AFCON.

People shitting on Osimhen for the injury, and Eric Chelle for taking him off have major issues in their lives.

Meliforme:
Eric Chelle got his midfield combination wrong.
Why play Ndidi and Onyeka together, except your intention is to defend from the start of the game.

There were no balance of play in the midfield. Who shields the back four and maintains the positional discipline in carrying it out, who is primarily responsible for building play from the back, and which other midfielder can assist in building play from the back.

Our movement from the back to the advanced areas of the pitch towards goalscoring, lack the kind of midfielders to execute it.
These kind of midfielders must possess good ball distribution, can take on players, and must have good ball recovery, right movement and positional discipline.

The players that are very close to the aforementioned qualities are: Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Raphael Onyedika and Alhassan Yusuf.
We should build our midfield around these players, and scout for more players.
I agree with everything you posted. In addition, I'll say Ndidi is the major culprit in this lack of positional discipline thing.

If you look at the DR Congo match, you'd realize Ndidi was the CDM who was supposed to shield the back four, Iwobi the CAM while Onyeka played slightly ahead of Ndidi as CM/box to box.

But Ndidi didn't keep positional discipline. This was particularly evident from that Lookman square ball that he and chukwueze botched in the DR Congo box in the first half.

Chukwueze don set leg ready to hit the ball but Ndidi quickly jumped in cos he wanted to be the scorer. When it happened, I thought to myself, wetin carry Ndidi reach there na? Clearly, he was aware of his lack of goals in the National team, so he wanted to score badly and was glory hunting.

Even overall, he was poor and was partly responsible for DR Congo's equalizer. Chelle has to be ruthless with the players. Any major eff up,, you chop bench just like he did with Ekong for his errors against Zimbabwe and SA.

I want Ndidi to chop bench and for Onyeka to play as DM at AFCON. Onyeka interpretes the DM role better and even has better positional discipline. Onyeka also possesses higher goal threat than Ndidi. 71 caps for Nigeria since 2015 with 0 goals is quite damning for Ndidi.

On the other hand, Onyeka has scored 2 goals in recent matches against Benin and DR Congo. Even Onyedika who has had very limited game time scored against Benin in the WCQ group away match. Make Ndidi just siddon for bench or miss the team entirely. We can do without him.

Squad regulars/irregulars like Alhassan, Onyedika and Chrisantus can play as CM/Box-to-Box while outsiders like Akinsanmiro and Anthony Dennis can also be brought in to the fold.

Desabre is the first coach to outfox Chelle on the continent so far with the SE. On the balance of play DRC are deserved winners.

The absence of a genuine midfield controller was apparent for large spells yesterday. DRC were on the front foot for most of the match.

Sadly, this team misses out of a world cup in their prime. Naija may qualify for 2030 but by then, the squad will be aged and declining. What an anti-climax!
Even if Xavi, Iniesta amd Busquets played for us yesterday, they would have been ineffective.

DR Congo were a far better and superior ball playing side, and it showed yesterday.

The way DR Congo dominated us yesterday is reminiscent of how Algeria totally dominated and outplayed us in AFCON 2019 semifinal.

They dont get it. When we insist on 433, we also emphasize personnel tactical balance.

In a midfield 2, play your Ndidi and Iwobi. Or pair Onyeka and Iwobi.

But in a midfield 3, be careful, you must absolutely have a genuine 1st phase ball receiver and 2nd phase ball distributor. Onyeka and Ndidi are not such.

Personnel selection is so important. Not just picking 3 midfielders coz they are available and throwing them in together hoping for magic. If there is no balance technically and tactically, it wont hold eventually.
I don't think that's even the solution. Chelle could have started your preferred personnel, adopted your tactics, and we would have still lost today.

Its like teams coming up against prime barca of Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquet, Eto and co of those days. E no matter who you select or the formation, you'll lose the midfield and possession battle. Yes, DR Congo is that well drilled . We could only play defensively, and we did that quite well

Also, our game plan collapsed completely when Osimhen left the game because that gave them the impetus to attack us, and pile pressure on our midfield.

Somehow, I knew the game would turn out like this and its the reason I refrained from posting in the lead up to the match and predicting a victory unlike most regulars here.

Its painful but we can only look forward towards the AFCON and hope we do win it.

World cup chapter closed, we look forward to AFCON.

Again, I will say it... I laughed so hard when folks here were praising Chelle for saying he monitors over 500+ players overall or 80+ players weekly. That is cap! Complete cap! You dont monitor that much and not come up with tactical realisations on certain talents monitored.
