junnyjake:


I just like this guy.

Icon4s:

Why? If I may ask.

komekn:


I wouldn't agree with you completely, the Turkish league is in the top 10 in Europe, 5 places higher than the Austrian league and even. Higher than the Dutch league.

If you can play for the top teams in Turkey it's still a route to a top club.

In addition I wouldn't take the UEFA rankings as absolute. There is still a high degree of subjectivity.

tbaba1234:
I understand Rohr has threatened to resign over interference. One loss and all the Hyenas come out.. They should leave the man alone Biko. Apart from the loss, we have been progressing. The loss might be the wake up call we needed to avoid overconfidence and complacency.

Icon4s:


Why? If I may ask.

Nigerdeltaboi:
maybe he likes the badboy rep aka card master

Mickael2:


the problem I think with the loss was how we got totally outplayed with no worthy plan B. it wasn't just the lost, this guy that led us to the 2010 world cup although we didn't qualify but we still wanted to retain him became we actually played very well against top teams too. this loss was embarrassing that too against SA, perennial underachievers.....and don't give me that carp that they are now a strong team, they almost beat us the last time but still got humiliated at the nation's cup

do4luv14:


I think you are talking about BERTI VOGTS, abi its LARS LAGERBERG

Napoleon55:
then make a 22-man list,let's analyze ur list and see if everybody here will consider it perfect, if u are unable to do this,there is point correcting me.

Humility017:

and you support these NFF technical committee interference?
I tell you many there....are only for their belly and not the welfare of the national team

Humility017:


should I go ahead do your bidding now....you will likely debunk it....being that you're already flexing muscles to attack my list.
let's leave it....I pray Yusuf and the team achieve success it will be a plus..to us

BascoVanVeli:


I think his point was that no list would ever be universally accepted, not urs not mine.

Mickael2:

Lars Lagerback my brother

BascoVanVeli:


Alot of countries operate with technical committees. Pinnick had long announced we were going this route. We have players with great knowledge of the game, we need to utilize them. There is nothing wrong with bouncing a few ideas off of some of our best ever players.

TheGoodJoe:


Great knowledge of the game crap. If any of them in the technical committee are so knowledgeable as they want us to believe, let them apply for the Super Eagles job and let us see if the same NFF/Technical committee will give them a second thought.

If they are not good enough to Coach the team, they lack no basis in interfering with the technical plans of the coach.

Rohr has my full support if he wants to resign. The NFF keeps dragging us back.

I think the national team coaches should be made to name their call up list in a press conference. Where journalists will have the benefit of asking for some explanations. But in the absence of that. I will take exception to some points raised by the "expert".

According to him, Afelokhai shouldn't be listed, but surprising enough, he has one of the better stats in the league. I can understand the reservations about the non calling up for the Nasarawa keeper but the truth is that goalkeepers shouldn't be rated by the number of clean sheets. Last season, the best keeper in the league Nana Bonsu was not the keeper with the most clean sheets but he was rated as the best keeper. In England Schmeichel had the most clean sheets in the run up to Leicester City winning the league, I'm sure it is very clear that if we are to rate the best keepers in England, Schmeichel may not get to the top 5.
Further more, Jordan Pickford conceeded tons of goal in the relegation run for Sunderland but he transfered to Everton for 30M. The real stats to judge goalkeepers are shots per save not necessarily clean sheets because the defensive set up of the team in question can help an average keeper rack up piles of clean sheets.

For the defenders, I don't know about Jamiu Alimi this season,but from what I witnessed over the past 3 seasons, he is one of the better defenders. Stephen Eze is a good option in defence. Tall, big and strong, he's been impressive.
Kalu Orji deserves his place in the mix. I don't know what the expert is talking about but Kalu orji, with Odita were the trojans in defence that helped Rangers to the title. He has been pretty solid this season. He's my favourite defender there.

Unfortunately the acclaimed expert haven't been following proceedings closely this season he sounds surprised Osas Okoro was listed as a defender. If he had been following the league this season, he will have known Osas Okoro was converted to a RWB this season where he has blossomed. Honestly, Osas Okoro should be staking a claim to the right back position for the super eagles. If what I saw of Shehu against SA is the benchmark for the Eagles Right back position, Osas should be banging on the doors of the main Super Eagles. He's been that good this season.


Coming to the midfield position, Chukwuka Onuwa of Mfm omission should be explained. Bright Silas, the Rangers Outside 7 have to be listed. He's been performing really well, top prospect.

I think the attack is the best we can assemble so far in the league. Mfom Udoh, Odeh, Ifeanyi George, Alhassan, etc have goals in them. In my opinion.

BascoVanVeli:


U need to show those guys their due respect. These are people like Victor Ikpeba and Mutiu Adepoju. They know more about representing the Super Eagles than u, me and Rohr. They have come out to say they won't select the team so wat seems to be the issue? There is no need to make a mountain out of a mole.

tbaba1234:
Today, I learnt that Abdelhak Nouri of Ajax who collapsed days ago has permanent brain damage. Just like that, a young career and life is cut off. Out of the blue, we learn that Ikeme has cancer.

Life can so unpredictable and a person's life can be transformed in an instant.

Icon79:
Folks, it's been a good week so far. Yes, I am still recovering from the shock of seeing Nadal go out of Wimbledon. But that shock has been followed by two good news:

Yesterday, Andy Murray was bundled out as well.
The soulless biatch, Angie Keber also lost.
And this morning, our evergreen lady, Venus Williams is teaching Johanna Konte some unforgettable lessons in tennis out there on center court Wimbledon!

I am quite excited. In fact, ecstatic!

O pari

chrisooblog:
quite sad reminds me of our own joseph dosu one minute he was super eagles No.1 in line to go to france 98 the next car accident and career ended

Joebie:
Hahahahaha

Meanwhile Federer hasn't dropped a set. .Take heart that Nadal had a good fight after falling by two sets. But I knew Muller will fight the last set with the last drop of his blood and he did that pretty well forcing Nadal to save several match points in that marathon final set.

The real good news is this. Venus has just made it to the championship match!
