What was that rubbish we watched in the first half? Arokodare and Simon out.

Philosopher1979:
His using ekong in a 4 man defence is baffling and horrible. He used him against South africa and he conceded a goal. Now he is making the same mistake. Why awaziem was not invited is a mystery. Chelle should be sacked immediately after this match even if we win. I don't care anymore. We have horrible catches

calm down brother...you are too emotional

I don't know what Ekong is doing there. We are supposed to be preparing for his testimonial match.

Nwabali, Fredrick, Bassey, Troost-Ekong, Onyemaechi, Ndidi, Iwobi, Arokodare, Lookman, Moses Simon, Osimhen.

Which EPL game was played on Thursday
Forgotten

Most likely during the Christmas games...boxing day may have fallen on a Thursday.

Looking at other groups, where second and third-placed teams already have 15 points or more, you can see there’s real competition. Yet, in our own group where one team even had points deducted there’s hardly any serious competition. Despite that, our so-called star-studded team is still struggling to even make the playoffs. It’s honestly an eyesore.

Shey we be tell Una this was going to happen years back.

lol wetin concern nff with 2months ,Dey can replace any coach at anytime

Will take this story as just click bait. Does not make sense replacing a coach with 2 months to AFCON.

South Africans are already planning for the worst in case they don't qualify. They are talking about the Calvin Bassey handball. According to them it should not have been given as a goal. They plan to request for a replay or get FIFA to dock us 3 points. Source:Online chatter.

Congratulations to the U20 boys for making it to the round of 16. This is tournament football, anything can happen. Group stage performance is not a reflection of how far a team can go in the tournament. It's just hard work and "Luck" going forward. Wish the boys all the best.

See lamentations and wailing...person die? Na wa.

Una too complain sha!!

Goke7:
For me they are a wise nation taking advantage of their very close proximity to Europe.

We too can be wise if we can improve our administration of get 21st century soccer administrators not this analogue ones that can’t attract enough of those foreign born. Amaju pinnick as much as I don’t like him did well in attracting those good enough foreign born players

Morocco has invested heavily in scouts and cultural integrators. Potential players are identified as early as 13 years and the work starts from there.

Predator87:
I hope shame continues to catch the NFF board. See what Morocco in the span of 10 years are doing. I won't be surprised if they win a world cup soon. Nigeria OTOH still asking players for bribes and using overaged players. What is Bamayi still doing in an U20 World cup? Morocco is doing well in all levels of Football while Nigeria is wombling and fumbling. Ibraim Gausau, Ibrahim Sanusi and Austin Eguaveon need to resign immediately if we are going to get out this present slump we are in now.

Morocco is using a short cut for all levels of their football. Foreign Born players. Europe has done the work for them, they are just reaping the harvest.

zuchyblink:
Ghana🇬🇭 through, Nigeria🇳🇬 out. For the third straight time the Golden Eaglets won’t be at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

From being 5-time world champions and most successful team to missing three editions in a row. Something is seriously broken.
Shame

Yeah..we keep going to the archives to exhume dead coaches.

TheSuperNerd:
I hope Zimbabwe can draw them in their very next game even though game will be played in SA.

I tell you brother. I am even having fantasies of a shock Marshall Munetsi last minute winner for Zimbabwe.

This 3 point deduction for the Southies is exactly what I have been waiting for. They have been effing assured thru out these qualifiers (very unusual). This seed of doubt has been planted at just the right moment. They will surely bottle on of those matches.

This Rohr issue again. Our team declined...we agree, our play was poor...we no argue...we lost to minnows...yes...but.... No one has been able to explain how come we always qualified for tournaments with a game or two to spare. Thru out Rohr time..we no use calculator one day.

Dem say SA will be deducted 3 points and 3 goals this week.

Akinsanmiro dey ball sha!!!

lexyman:
Sacking Rohr was one of the best decisions, given SE's drastic decline and poor performance. As I've said before, Rohr's success with Benin Republic stems from individual brilliance and player determination. If he were SE's coach, he'd likely face the same struggles as he's always relied heavily on a few star players. His coaching style focuses on individual talent rather than tactical acumen,
Rohr was so poor tactically
poor substitutions and game management. Let's not forget his past shortcomings and instead focus on the team's dedication moving forward.
Chelle’s approach has been promising, and with a bit of luck, we can still qualify for the World Cup

Yes he was poor tactically.. but we always qualified for competitions with 2 games or a game to spare.

TheSuperNerd:
This is David Edeh, Captain of the 2025 Golden Eaglets set to feature at the 2025 Wafu B Afcon U17 Qualifying tournament this month.

He is profiled as a Creative midfielder from Adoration FC, Enugu.

Heard whispers of him. Hope he develops as expected. We have a Pirlo in our hands.
