I only saw the second half of the game and these are my thoughts.

The NPFL all stars in my opinion were a true representation of the league. There was no lack of energy, vigour, zeal, hard running etc as you would expect of local lads who are desperate to catch the eye of a foreign scout. They were tireless and worked incredibly hard! However, when in possession of the ball the true story always came to the fore. The distinct lack of quality on the ball shown by almost every NPFL player, especially when compared to the Valencia players was mind boggling!

I know the time spent with the players will be used as a reason why the team severely lacked any sort of composure or cohesion but there was no sign of any tactics being employed by the manager. Perhaps he just said to them lets counter attack, sit back and hit them on the break with speed, because that seemed to be the only thing they attempted all game and executed miserably.

On a positive note, this is excellent exposure for the players involved and those at home watching. Now they have a better idea of the standards they need to achieve in order to play for a proper club in a proper league, not Albania, Finland or Slovenia. Credit goes out to the LMA for making this happen. Upwards and onwards though that was a thorough lesson in how the game should be played. The score line was flattering.

This man go drink garri sha ...I trust NFF

ehen malo girls them fine abi? oya naw, touch any of them first make we see how e dey be lol

Oga MadCow na so dem do you reach? You dey fit sleep for night so?

Here we go. I will keep the list updated for the benefit of our football loving populace. Yea, its okay don't mention. lol

Lagos - Africa's model mega-city??

hahahahaha

Laughing in every way possible!

Personally, I think the job as Super Eagles coach is beyond the capability of all Nigerian coaches including Yusuf, especially considering the expectations we have of the team. A man cannot give what he doesn't have.

On a different note, the blatant and mindless racism displayed by Africans particularly those living in Africa on websites such as this one is mind boggling. The funny part of it all is that most commentators like this have never in their lives experienced racism first hand but yet are quick to go all Rosa Parks on the slightest of issues.

What does it matter what race a manager is if he is qualified and experienced and willing to meet the targets set by his employers?
Have white managers not excelled in Africa before?

Whether you agree or otherwise, the fact remains that Managers like Le Guen are better qualified and experienced in international football management than Yusuf and the other Nigerian managers we have presently. In fact if possible we should get a foreign CBN governor etc If Great Britain as advanced as they are can have a foreigner as the Governor of the Bank of England, then what is it about football?

Racism exists both ways. By guided.

If you haven't spent a night, attended a conference, event or tourist attraction or conducted a business in a state, claiming you have 'been there' is not really factual. e.g being a passenger in a night bus from Lagos to Onitsha does not mean you have visited all the states you happened to pass through.

On the above basis I have been to the following states:

Edo
Ekiti
Lagos
Oyo
Delta
Bauchi
Kano
Plateau
Enugu
Abuja (Not a state, I know)

Now why would any decent young player holding dual nationality chose to play for Nigeria at the expense of ANY other country for that matter, let alone the likes of England etc?

Why was it announced that Le Guen had been appointed when he clearly had not signed any contract?

Is the NFF actually run by people who are competent in ANY endeavour?

Should we give up international sports in this country as we clearly have more important challenges to deal with and further embarrassing ourselves in the sporting domain does not help our already battered image.

If the chance arises my son will play for England. Blady f00ls!!

O boy guy wetin do your ears? You take them do ritual?

Back to topic: shey una see wetin hunger dey cause? Okay if that na the money to take buy the Congo how much to rent am, maybe we fit try that one.

What a silly man Giwa is.

See strong strong men for Naija sha...see that Liverpool fan face! If him say come here!! Give me that phone!! no bother beg o...

Where is Frank Rijkaard? Can we find him and 'force' him to take the job? For the very biggest of jobs employers don't just sit and wait for CV's they go out there and headhunt their man! Come on NFF! You guys should already know this!!

In terms of profile, experience, style and of course his current situation I think Rijkaard is the ideal sort of manager Nigeria needs. Yea, he will likely be more expensive than the coaches shortlisted, but he'll be cheaper than he would have been only a few years ago AND he surely has the 'tools' with which to forge the successful team that Nigerians clamour for. Even Rijkaard's assistant in his Barcelona days, Henk Ten Cate would be cheap and an upgrade on the likes of Saintfaint and Yusuf.

If Egypt could hire Hector Cuper (a two time champions league finalist with VALENCIA!), Ghana could hire Avram Grant (Champions League finalist with Chelsea), Morocco swiftly jumped on Herve Renard (Winner of 2 of the last 3 AFCONs) then surely Nigeria can and should do better!

We are watching...

After all is said and done, there is NO RECOVERABLE OIL in the lake Chad basin. Insanity is described as doing exactly the same thing repeatedly while hoping for a different result.

Fools

Madness!!

Who pidgin English Epp?

In the very first pic i thought the girl had the ball under her shirt...then i con see say na her breast big like that. wonderful..

Excellent! I am happy to see you doing fun stuff (travelling and seeing things) this is what tourism is about, not going to Dubai to buy Gucci bags as many Naijas idea of Tourism.

I'm working in Italy at the moment and have been to most of those places you photographed. If only you had time the to stop in Como for a bit by the Lake. Also other places not far from Bologna like Rimini and Riccione would've been fun and a day trip to San Marino!! All good though keep sharing and enjoy!

Na this kind chic many of us been dey find before o lol

Make informed predictions.

All this effort for BPL? chai

what of our Naija premier league now....biko

He has to go

these young boys need to stay focused and work twice as hard when they got into the European game. This is addition to their natural abilities will ensure they become household names across the footballing world. I wish them well.

Win or lose Lars Lagerback has shown with this Icelandic team that he is a real top rated manager. Maybe if Sani Kaita wasn't a violent savage even when unprovoked and Yakubu wasn't busy missing an empty net from 6 yards he might have achieved something for Nigeria.

linearity:
The U.K. is made up of four unitary sovereign nations aka countries called: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Are you implying that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland today is are sovereign states? Really?

linearity:
It is fool headed to refer to the U.K. as a nation (singular), without noting the integral internal sovereign states

Does this mean that the words printed in front of the British passport which refers to the UK in singular is fool headed?

linearity:
...and if you mentioned the plural, then his assumptions would have been wrong as Scotland did not vote to pull out and Brexit vote is not binding on Scotland.

You get liver o. Even Nicola Sturgeon did not go as far as saying Brexit vote was not binding on Scotland. If it is not binding what is it, a recommendation? lol

linearity:
In fact the parliament in each of the four sovereign nations must vote to approve a pull out before article 50 can be invoked and any one of the sovereign nations can veto the pullout, plus Scotland also want to vote to pull out of U.K.

Even though I am a Brit and more affected by this than many as i live and work in the EU, I have not read and will not read article 50, i'll leave that to the politicians who's views will be taken on board rather than waste my time doing that. Having said that I cannot argue with fact on if this claim you have made is right or wrong but I certainly think it is wrong to assume that any one of the constituent countries of the UK can veto this referendum result.

Apologies to all as we have gone off the topic of this thread but it is good to have a random debate sometimes

linearity:
Ben Bruce, receive sense in Jesus name...UK is not a nation.

The UK, i.e an abbreviation of 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' is not a nation? Please enlighten us on how you have reached this suspiciously stupid conclusion?

Part of what he is trying to imply in his tweet is that his 'ijaw brothers' are your brothers too.
