🚨EXCLUSIVE | Al-Ittihad is closely interested in Ndidi. The Saudi Arabian team is preparing to make an offer to Beşiktaş.

As dem dey go Saudi, make dem begin prepare for national team retirement sha...

Papi85:
Carlos Baleba to United done. Cameroon national team have 2 players now at United

Madrid signed an Ivorian for over 100m euros few weeks ago

Man City on the verge of signing young Moroccan midfield talent Bouaddi

Liverpool showing serious interest in Gambian winger Minteh

Just to mention a few

But all we do here is to justify and make case for our players moving to Turkey 🇹🇷 in their peak abi prime and person go dey ask me what’s wrong with playing in Turkey

Ghana has Semenyo at Man city already, even Kudus at Tottenham.


No single Nigerian in the Super Eagles set up plays for a top 5 prem team, sad.

Chelle has been actively posting our players on his IG story who have been in good form over the weekend...I'm sure he's spoiled for choices for his September list.

Papi85:
🆕 | Wrexham has Femi Azeez in its sights; the Welsh club has shown interest in signing our winger.

Reports. @SimonJones_DM

Which kind downgrade be this one, Femi should at least be playing for any of the mid table Prem clubs with his talent level at this point.

Hardrive:
It would be better for the super eagles to use Benjamin Fredrick as a midfielder going forward. We are very light in that department and he is good enough for the role instead of fighting for who should pair who in defence. This is the future I see for him in the national team and also he began his career as a midfielder for the junior team.

We're not light in midfield sha, that's one of our better departments now actually.

Nathan Tella scored as well

princeabdul:
😘

This kit is fire 🔥 though

Philosopher1979:
The midfielder Israel ayuma made his debut for martino fx today in their win against famalicaonin the Portuguese league. Thats good. Okayed only 3 minutes.
I'm happy we badly need midfield talent.

Midfield options are the least of our worries right now, we just need a good enough Iwobi understudy to replace him soon.

mostob:
We no too dey rate our own for here.
This Semenyo na just left footed Anthony Okpotu wey get PhD

Anthony Okpotu is one name i haven't heard in a long time

Akor with a brace today in Venezia's win 🔥

Spainever:
Nigerian football is dead . 5 slots for world cup we could not qualify , FIFA increased to 10 yet we could not qualify . Now super falcons could not qualify 😭. The coach should continue till 2050

Lmao e remain to laugh at this point, I'm tired of stressing my mental health about Nigerian football 😂😂😂

Madugu is from the North
The U20 men's coach is from the North
The NFF president is from the North
The NSC chairman is from the North

See the pattern? see where I'm going with this?

Nigerians know where the main problem is coming from but we are too spineless to address it.

Chelle should just resign now and not taint his resume cause we're not qualifying for the men's AFCON, this is a cursed year for Nigerian football.

This Osimhen and Ndidi set are just disappointing, their mates from Africa are making big league moves while our so called star players are moving to Saudi when they are still in their peak years...it even hurts that we have no thriving pool of talented players emerging from our U17-20 teams that have been rendered useless...na only U23 under Chelle we dey pray make e make sense so that we can at least transition decent enough players from there.

Isahalbash:
How true is this?

Naija and shortcuts, when we fail on the football pitch we resort to underhanded consolation.

zuchyblink:
This man successfully destroyed our football.

The werey even posed for a re-election campaign poster and themed it 4+4...it's the audacity for me.

We don't truly understand how truly bad our football situation is, the talent pool from the youth structure has literally collapsed which invariably means the quality of talents that we should be transitioning to the senior national team now looks hopeless. It's particularly sad when you see other African nations that were far behind us some years ago now catching up and closing the gap, even a strife-torn nation like Burkina Faso with one of the poorest infrastructures in the world are somehow getting it right with their youth teams, now we are seeing lots of Burkinabe players getting top moves to Europe...currently we have an aging senior national team with the best of the core already in their late 20's...which players do we have ready to replace them? are we going to keep hoping and begging dual nationals to finally consider us when they are done waiting on the nations of their birth until they are in their late 20's before they remember they can switch to play for us?

Gusau and Pinnick along with their henchmen have finally destroyed our football, it will take a very long time to recover from this mess even if and when we finally get in the true football minds and technorats to salvage our football woes. Where do we go from here? it has now become a sadly anomalous norm for us not to qualify for major tournaments at all levels under this dispensation- all we do is rant online, write long essays about what we should be doing right blah blah blah, and then few days later we all shrug off the football disappointments and move on to the latest trending gossips and topics; a trope that has come to characterize the typical Nigerian psyche of moving on fast from every failure.

Honestly I'm tired, I have just like millions of other passionate Nigerians have given everything we could into holding onto some fabric of sanity left in that country that gave us a sense of unity, patriotism and happiness...and football was the ONLY intangible that gave us that sense of solidarity, now our football has been killed and buried by gross incompetence...what the fu*k is left to feel Nigerian about?

I'm done jare.

I officially give up on Nigerian football, that hope might only be salvaged if Gusau and his board of bandits are kicked out in this September's NFF election...I'll be stupid to do another tenure of Gusau, God forbid bad thing. We've used the tropes of tribalism and nepotism to nail our beautiful game to the cross of eternal damnation and I refuse to subject my mental health to any more torture...the one Tinubu's Nigeria has served me is enough affliction.

Good luck to those who still care.

Sugarboyy:
70% of this current falcons squad are from the East. Are the Falcons doing any better?

70%, are you sure you checked the squad list to arrive at this percentage?

What time is the WAFU final?

opes:
Very unnecessary fight

This right here is why no top level clubs want him, the only so called world class striker still stuck below the top 5 leagues in the world even at his peak.

EElopa:
Yira Sor is on his way to Turkey. He already in the country as i write to sign for a useless Turkish club. To be honest with you guys I don't really rate him highly but at the same time it demonstrates the things I have been saying regarding how this league is a grave danger to Nigerian football. I don't really get this obsession with Nigerian players. They have their eyes on every motherfucking Nigerian player. I don't really think alot of guys here really understand how devastating this is for Nigerian football.

From Belgium to Turkey, a transfer move couldn't get more backward than that.

Papi85:
Elversberg is in the race for Göztepe's star Anthony Dennis! The Nigerian midfielder's performance has caught the eye from Germany's Bundesliga.

No be Bundesliga 2 be that?

I'm glad we qualified but the qualification format is so messy, gotta feel for Zambia honestly.

Spainever:
I am wondering if the coach has deal to market ijamusi ? We can see that Babajide and Uche Kanu have more impact than ijamusi but coach prefer her . The coach should make right selection against Cameroon

Madugu is a weapon fashioned against logic, the man brings nothing but chaos from his funny PE teacher dressing to his tactics...the superior quality of the girls simply bailed him out, once again.

Phew! What a game, omo!

How do this West African French countries always look more organized and tidy in their football than their Anglo speaking counterparts? CIV, Senegal, and even Burkina Faso always play some good football at youth level and get scouted by bigger clubs compared to us.

maidaboi:
glad we won

I knew civ will give us problems

hopefully we win the final and qualify for the afcon

congratulations to the boys

So only the winner qualifies for the AFCON? does that mean CIV is out? Omo this zonal qualification format for West Africa is brutal.

Muiz isn't much of an intelligent player afterall, dude genuinely wasted a golden opportunity when he had a free pass om goal.

Low IQ football, Jesus Christ we urgently need a revamp in our entire football structure, maybe appointing world class sports psychologist will help cause the mental collapse is endemic.

Are we through?

Our youth football is abysmal
