Who was peak? Was Stones a World beater? Was Kyle Walker a World Beater? Laporte never got a national team call-up. Is Mendy the one that should guarantee a trophy?

There was a steady increase in the quality of every player. They all improved. Otamendi went from a defensive lynch pin to one of the best passing defenders around. Stones improved drastically. Sterling had people asking if he was the same player bought.

You can not buy such improvements with money.

sorry sir, not from this terminal......this new intl airport was newly commissioned last December.

The airlines have been operating from the old international airport (which also serve as local airport).

Mickael2:
For reference purpose
The first match of that qualifiers was handled by Eguavoen. We won 2-0. The second match which was a loss to Guinea(our only loss on the qualifying stage) was under Eguavoen. If not for that loss we would have gone the entire qualifying process without a loss. Why are you all blindly and unjustifiably blaming Sia1 for the mistakes of Eguavoen? I must applaud Sia2 though, knowing Nigerians he shouldn't have accepted that shambolic 2012 qualifying process when he actually did. Now people like you go about saying rubbish like he was the one that failed when his team did not lose a single match. Heck Rohr has lost to SA mind you, that is actually worse than Sia1's record in that qualifying process.

OK after the Shehu debacle you all have decided to blame the NFF,good and fine. But why are you all not blaming the NFF for not telling Sia1 that we needed only a win to qualify? What if someone had actually told him that we needed that two goals victory? I mean we all knew that the NFF was against Sia1, it was public knowledge then so it isn't impossible. Next time get your facts straight Oga

Egypt may have better infrastructure than ourselves in fact they probably do.

However, that's not the issue, we are talking about AFCON not the world cup or the Euros.

You will not have a massive influx of sports fans from across Africa converging in Nigeria. We are not talking l don't think of up to a million fans. Africans just don't have that kind money to spend a couple of thousand $ to spend 2/3 weeks on a football holiday in general and or interest.

So all this talk about hotels, etc Is premature.

What l want to say is l remember when Mali hosted AFCON in 2002. Whaaaaten Mali get we Nigeria no get times 50.

Nigeria has the capacity, the ability and existing infrastructure to deliver an Amazing AFCON. Only Lagos alone can do a fantastic job self. After all recently Guinea & Co even Rwanda were able to host AFCON.

So yes the politicians and government officials will have a field day lining thier pockets. Manipulating the situation for corrupt gain. Even with all these hurdles Nigeria can deliver an Amazing AFCON.

Less money to me means less corruption.

NIGERIA IS ABLE.

No Shakin

We could have won the match against Greece. we were on course to winning until keita foolishly hot red carded.

we know what happened with Yakubu in the match with South Korea.

the draw against Iran is the only match I know we didn't play well, send we deserve to even loose the match, but we were lucky.

So, Mr , don't make it look as if Nigeria is a small country that can't even beat anybody.

timay:
you and I know that Nigeria doesn't play well with lesser teams during friendlies.

if we play friendlies well, may be we would be better ranked. we only play well in major competition

andrew444:
Yeah because we played saudi arabia within the past 2 years

Now tell me when last we played saudi arabia in a major competition and in a friendly?

andrew444:
Just because they are the Host nation I will agree with you ,in others footballing aspect I will never agree with a team that can't beat Saudi Arabia

krattoss:
what do expect when our pinnick is there as an oh yes member. Dude can't even alter any thing with his presence.
Na for Naija dem go dey form corruption.
Now do the corruption among ur global peers when it matters most, he will be there. Looking like a sagged breast while his mates maneuvers him in his very own front. MUGU.
Make buhari open the him world cup fund case sef. Make him sleep for efcc and dss cell small. Foolish botbellied idiot .

forgiveness:
Does one need great airports or a functional airport in good condition to host a mere AFCON?

Sometimes ehh, you wonder how Nigerians think.

Abuja airport is far better than all the airports in Sub Sahara Africa save for South African.

Which airport in Africa has train connected to the airport? Just two. Tambo international airport, South Africa and Casablanca international airport Morocco.

The almighty Egypt don't even have one.

Nigeria has 4 newly renovated and remodelled airports with newly built terminal.

How many does Egypt have?

junnyjake:
You're a very interesting somebody, aren't you Komekn?

You were thesame person forbidding everyone from using LaLiga's rating of Chukwueze as one of the best U-21s in Spain.

You said we should use our brains instead and not allow the media, do the thinking for us. Wayodude, you should remember this argument.

Now, you can run to your online sources to corroborate your negative stand against those players.

You're just too predictable.

PS : Don't come at me with your usual dumb "context" lectures, it won't fly with me this time.

InSanety:
Solanke sold to Bournemouth for £19 million.....hopefully, he will finally become useful to a PL club.

The guy has had a disappointing club career so far, for all of his perceived brilliance.

We also hope that if he fails to perform, the excuses will stop as well. Thankfully, Bournemouth doesn't have an array of stars to keep him on the bench

mostob:
Ndidi,Mikel and even Kalu

EEGA:
We matched the Croatians in the middle.

tbaba1234:
How many chances were created by Croatia?

Croatia had only 2 shots on target, same with Nigeria. One was the penalty.

So in 90 minutes, Croatia had 1 shot on target in open play.

I did not see that dominance. We lacked creativity and a decent striker but they did not dominate anything.

tbaba1234:
There are no excuses.

These so called world class players did not play us off the park. They simply capitalized on our own mistakes.

It was not brilliance from one of their players.

My point is that our underrated players matched them for the most part.

nijabazaar:
I will give a kidney to leave this Country....

Op dont ever come back.

Troublemaker , dont ever come back to this country. God has paved a way for you. Dont come back....ever

My Spanish is very limited but before you quote wouldn't it be wise to have the verbatim translation of the deduction by this Barcelona based media outlet. "Mundo Deportivo" Then make critical comments in support or disagreement as you deem fit.

You are currently talking with supposition from another person comments. That's not wisdom.

My comments are very simple, the deduction given that Chukwueze according to them is " The most sought after teenager in World football "

Just doesn't cut it with me, outstanding player with very good potential but that's OVER HYPE to me and can potentially derail a player.

komekn:
Don't you think you are now carrying this hype thing way beyond all sense of rationality.

It's an opinion, it's not a fact.

Can you tell us how much has Real and Barca, add to that PSG, Man City, Liverpool, Juventus, etc, etc, are bidding for this player. Because that is what would be the evidence of the statement " most sought after teen in world football "


Otherwise it's just hype by local journalists.

Come on bruv, consider the statement " WORLD FOOTBALL" This is what you call OVER HYPE after how many games in La Liga.

I am sure you will call me a hater.
