I am of the opinion that winning this AFCON would make it easier for us to convince the really good foreign born lads to play for us thereafter

Same here bro. To me Aina's success with the Eagles at this afcon is already swaying some of them, especially the ones he is close friends with.

"Our football has regressed while theirs have improved"

Yes and I stand by that. Theirs have improved no doubt and that's true when you look at their league and the recent head to head against us

I didn't say that they have improved to a point where they are better than us. Please understand.

We have dominated them for several years while their favorable results against us is recent. That doesn't make them better than us.

But the truth is our football has regressed. When you compare the team of 2004 and now (not even 2000 or 1994 or even 1998).

I'm damn tired of the "they know his weakness bullcra.p " you people are tryna play today

How many times have we suffered with the weakness

Is he the only player in out team with a weakness??

And if indeed he's truly got a weakness like y'all making it to be, don't you think the coaches,GK trainer have some kind of counter to the weakness....


I'm not surprised if it's coming from the southi fans, well what do you expect, if I was a zuluman I would say the same, but coming from you that's crap....come to think of it, what's stopping the pirates or whatever supporters to get a Good goalkeeper, is the club so broke to afford one or there is really no better Goal keeper in the whole of South Africa to bench Akpeyi

Lol...issokay...we have heard

What exactly did the team of 1994-1998 and 2000 achieve that the team from 2000 till date hasn't achieve?

Kindly enlighten me abeg

Furman isn't a pass master, he is a destroyer, he intercepts and tackles for Zungu to spread the passes. Before Zungu came aboard the ship, Furman was doing the job(breaking up plays) for Andile Jali.

We have heard. I had replied you on this earlier

We benching Akpeyi is a sensible precaution and at the same time, Akpeyi sharing some info on the weaknesses of SA players would give us a double advantage. Simple. No need for quarrel

I put team 2000 and 1998 in parentheses because they are better than the team of 2004. Not because they are worse

Understand me please. The achievements of the team from 1994-2004 dwarves the achievement of the team from 2016 (when Rohr took over)

Although, the team of now is still in contention to enter the Semi-final and I believe they would do so, yet they have not won anything. No medal (not even the bronze) but they are getting there

ademola,aribo,tomori and uduokhai. torunarigha and tammy are other great options but they seem uninterested playing for us

Lookman is now "close" to Nigeria.

I think almost all of them will want to play for Nigeria.

I will like to have Seyi Ojo too.

you are just saying different things.....which one is theirs have improved and ours have decreased, yet we won a
2013 Afcon in their land Baba stay one place....support either Nigeria or southi but not the 2 together....


And pls don't bring their league into the matter, it's always been finer than our own, besides how many times have they won the CAF champions league in the past 10 years? Once....

we have better wingers than ojo now. my biggest worry is our midfield

After 2013, has our football not regressed?

And If I support SA and SE together, I don't see how it is your business bro

Oga be specific. u started with the 1994, 1998 and 2000 team and now u extend it to 2004. 1994-2004 is 10 years. Why did u jump to Rohr 's team of 2016?
What happened to Keshi and Amodu team of 2005-2015?
If u are trying to say Rohr's team hasn't archived anything in comparison to the team of 1994-2004, then be fair my giving Rohr 7 more years....

How the South African players are preparing to face us today

Our football has regressed. The NFF was in ruins during that time period even till today. Pinnick is just doing his best to be diplomatic.

As it is now, would you give Rohr seven more years?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, edi287. You deserve a happy day.

Thanks man.

TheGoodJoe:


Happy birthday and May God bless you immensely in your coming years.

Thanks boss.

forgiveness:


Odemwigie was in super form. I saw him played then.

Keshi never wanted to invite some players. It was not about not being fit into how he wanted to play. Obafemi Martins was the best Nigerian striker in Europe prior to the AFCON.

Why take Uzeonyi who was poor through out the qualifiers when we had Odemwigie and Martins?

Odemwigie had problems with him because of his bias selection. It is not acceptable.

Keshi dropped Osaze because he requested shuttle between AFCON and playing for West Brom(and also something involving seeing his kid).
Like I said - in as much as Osaze should have been at that AFCON, we still had enough options upfront and out wide.
As for Martins - well we saw that Keshi liked playing with target men upfront e.g Emenike, Ideye, Shola Ameobi, Bright Dike.

edi287:

Thanks man.

Happy birthday Edi

More grace, inner peace and sound health to you

Enjoy your day

Furman isn't a pass master, he is a destroyer, he intercepts and tackles for Zungu to spread the passes. Before Zungu came aboard the ship, Furman was doing the job(breaking up plays) for Andile Jali.

He connects defence to attack and he makes his share of passes. I feel those are most important because he gives his guys the platform to play their football.

Happy Birthday Bro blessings

Having many options, not bad.

It's not true. Keshi never wanted to invite those players

Martins played as a target man yet scored goals for Levante.

BascoVanVeli:

I can't argue that, he really knows how to get the ball from his defense to the midfield, then attack, but those killer passes that split open their opposition belong to Zungu. That said, I dont regard Dean Furman bkus he isnt inventive, neither is he daring with his passes, he doesnt take risks unlike Zungu. He prefers short exchange of passes with his CBs and the closest midfielder to him. He hardly assists a goal or gives a wicked pass that leaves opponents in his wake.
