OK. rohr's experience is showing now

I love that.
I don't think any Nigerian local coach would have done worst than this white overpaid boy.

But you guys will still go on to replace him by another useless white boy

nowpresence:
many have been given a chance and have not lived up to expectations

So are all the white coaches that have gone to Nigerian. They have not lived up to expectations but you haven't been spending billions on them

nowpresence:
which team has okocha coached that makes him fit to head the national team.
Experience is needed in this regard .

Which team did Claude Leroy before taking over Cameroun in 1988

As I have said earlier African will always come up with BS to prevent their own from having their chance

nowpresence:
apart from Stephen keshi who proved himself that he is worthy of that position, who else have done so?

siasia, amodu, and the one that replace rohr, were given opportunities and they failed.

truth is we lack technical know how among Nigeria couches.
Those ex players have to prove that they deserve that position. They can start from coaching local leagues.
Keshi used to coach either Benin or Togo and he did well there and he was called to coach Nigeria and did well.

You talked about they not being given opportunities. You don't wait for opportunities to come before you prepare you prepare. You prepare while waiting for the opportunities. Start small and who will be noticed eventually.

tell me one Nigeria couch that can replace rohr at the moment?

I am African and not a Nigerian.
My question to all African federations is why not finding someone on the African continent instead of resorting to a European coach. In other words, If you think no one in Nigeria has the qualification to coach the super Eagles, can you try to find a coach in a different African country instead of running to Europe?

I truly don't see what is spectacular with Rohr for you to conclude that there is no Nigerian who can do better

LORDofODDS:
i disagree with you

Do you mean there is no one on the African continent who went to coaching schools for all those African nations to hire white coaches?

nowpresence:
Did he go to coaching school? you can't just wake up and be a coach.

And what is the point of him going to coaching school if no one will give him a chance. Did Michel Platini go to coaching school when he took over France after retirement.
Africans will always come up with b.s. reasons to prevent their own kind from succeding.
You have been hiring white who went to coaching school, so what is a results?

namet:
It is inferiority complex and tribalism that is responsible for this disgrace. Nigerians feel inferior to white people. So, our people are sold on these "if it's not white it's not right" attitude. So we bring all these failures to coach our team because they are white, and these are people that their own country don't even allow to go near their teams.

It is this same reason why road contracts, for example, are given to white-skinned people, even when these people are dubious characters in their own country. History tells us that Super Eagles was most successful during the time of Steven Keshi as the team's couch.

But sadly, inferiority syndrome and tribalism does not allow the most competent former players to coach the team. The Yorubas feel they should dominate the NFA and that everything should be located in Lagos.

So, if they cannot be the coach or if the most competent coach is from another ethnic group, they prefer to give the position to an incompetent white person. If we don't stop this ethnic nonsense in this country and run a merit-based system, we will continue to fail.

The National Assembly should enact a law that bans foreigners from coaching any of our national teams. In that law, they should also stipulate that competent and highly successful former players form the pool upon which our coaches shall be chosen from, to avoid tribalism, zoning or the disgraceful turn-by-turn mindset that has, literally, destroyed our country.

Enough with a white coach!

This should have been in front page.

LORDofODDS:
That's it ny friend, instead of these guys going to coaching school, they prefer being ambassadors to betting site, posting irrelevant things on social media while their European counterparts breaking records as managers of their respective countries nd clubs.

Even if they go to coaching schools, you will stll be looking for European to hire.
There are many Africans who went to coaching schools and no one in Africa would give them a chance.

naija01:
Africa should stop hiring foreign coaches especially Nigeria.

I have been saying this for ages and I have been called a racist because of this.

Yameater:
Olodo is another word for Congo

Seriously? In which language?

shedybaba44:
your problem is not coach, your problem is your players they are old and lazy, if they win or not they have nothing to loose, look at the junior boys that played athletico Madrid in uyo they were so impressive, people like Mikel obi, ighalo, iheanacho we don't need them.

And who selected those useless players?
Isn't it a useless overpaid foreign coach?

Yameater:
Olodo

Teranga is another word for Senegal.
What is Olodo?

BluntBoy:
I am a Senegalese. Thanks for supporting my country.

Nous sommes ensemble mon frere. Vive la Teranga.

Yameater:
Vous etes ;;;;

Teranga?

Gaddafithe2nd:
Another goal from Senegal. Football analysts are right. They predicted Senegal would be the only African country that would progress from the group stage. This will boost their confidence. Thank you Senegal for restoring the Africa pride.

Yes but it isn't over for the other African nations as of yet

Sirfeeking:
The list is incomplete without Cameroun.

Yes Cameroun home based players have done well in the world cup. Their abroad based players have just proved to be useless in the world cup.

tyeenigga:
Commentator keep saying Senegal is the first Africa country to score in Des world, pls ask him if Tunisia is Asia

Shoot him an email to correct him

emmabest2000:
Senegal the best African team of the tournament

And they have an African coach as well.

sweetTai:
This is an African Coach! You other idiots hiring White men to coach black boys, I hope you bastards are watching.

God bless you for standing up for your brothers.

danjumakolo:
For me,a win by Senegal is just like Nigeria winning.

Correct.
To me the meaning of the world cup is Africa against the rest of the world.

It is always refreshing to see an African coach in the world cup.
I always wonder why spend billions on European coaches with nothing to be desired.
smh ... Africans never learn

Emvico34:
Mr Congo... I like your name. I can shine your ladies Congo. Pls if any lady from your country need a man to shine her Congo, pls call me

Unfortunately, all the ladies I know are above your league by far

osazsky:
oga is this d British league? All u guys know is sex when last did u play in the world cup,,face front

You guys?
Please don't mix me with your family.

Nahum777:
I meant the goal keepers we took to the world cup.

I have raised this issue before the world cup.
Some dude on Nairaland was promoting a Nigeria goalkeeper who was playing in the Swiss third division. According to him, this keeper was someone who could be used for the Super Eagle in the future.
I reacted and said that was an insult to all the keepers in the Nigeria local league.
I was called all kind of names. Because I am not Nigerian, some people said I had no right to make any comment on the Super Eagle. But, those same folks have the right to comments on the British league. SMH ...

Nahum777:
Someone was saying trash about this Tunisian goal keeper. This guy is a third choice goal keeper, yet he's better than all our goal keepers combined.

He is better than all your abroad based goalkeepers.
I am sure that the Nigeria local league has better goal keepers.

Ayemileto:
Ezenwa made the list and he is the best GK we have In that team from my point of view. But Rohr seem to prefer foreign based players.

The own goal we conceded and the second goal we conceded during our friendly game with England could have been stopped by the keeper.

That is my point.
I am convince that the Nigeria Local league have players who can do better than some of the one who went to the world cup.
But, given that the local league players live in Africa, no one is willing to give them a chance.
A very shitty mentality that we would need to get rid of if we ever went to achieve something tangible.

onatisi:
the problem is our home league ,we dont seem to have a very good standard home league ,most north african players dont go abroad , they are been paid well in their league and the facilities are there . if we continue rellying on foreign based players we will continue to have problems ,imagine not a single home based player made our team list, i may be wrong though

So, what has been achieved with foreign based players? Absolutely nothing. And if a single home based player didn't make the team, it is just because people have this bias that whatever comes from the West if better than what is in Africa.
I am sure, the Nigerian local league players could have done a better job than your foreign based players who are good for nothing.

miniyi018:
Australia is a continent. The fact that they play their qualifiers in Asia does not mean they are in Asia.

Australia isn't a continent. It is a country in Oceania

It is funny that those African foreign based players are only good for AFCON and completely useless in the world cup.
Maybe we should try players from the African local leagues in the world cup. We did it before and it worked.

mukina2:
Ghana had the best chance in 2010 and they messed it up

Yes, but the fact remain the same. Those African foreign based players are good for nothing in the world cup. Maybe it is time to focus on players from local leagues.

abiodunalasa:
Seriously! Football is not meant for Africa
Just look at this useless Tunisian defenders

Why you guys are always focusing on foreign based players instead of players from the local leagues.
Back in the days, African teams were doing better in the world cup with players from their local leagues. Take a look on the game Cameroun England of the world cup 1990. Nothing to compere with Tunisia England

AccessME:
Am afraid all Africa teams will not succeed to round 16. it quite glaring

African teams were doing fine in the world cup with players from local leagues. With each edition of the world cup, we were getting closer and closer to win the trophy. 1982, 1986 and 1990

Starting 1994, African teams started to select only foreign based players and we haven't made any further progress from what was achieved in 1990.
