Morocco has also released their final 28. A somewhat controversial list...

drDoom3:


Ghana is really suffering. Many young talented players, all of whom are either not interested or have been advised to boycott the national team. I don't think this is unrelated to the FA scandal they had a few years ago.

Danielnino00:


Thank you comrade!

I think two is enough..

We can start the process of nominating committee members from here..
Or what do you think ?

Wizzzzmike:


Who told you Ghana is suffering for players

Mujtahida:

You missed the kernel of my point which is that the two can go together. The thrust of my submission is that at the time teams were not so consumed with statistics, did they not win? For example watch Zidane against Brazil in Germany 06. That was a magisterial performance yet he was highly effective. In fact the only goal of the match was orchestrated by him. And even during the Era I'm referring to, in a team of 22 players you'd find maybe just two or three who color the match with flicks and dribbles. It's not like the whole team is given to dribbling. But today we want to eradicate the few who play with flair and brand them as ineffective time wasters.

It's just a mindset to think that beauty in the way of artistic expression of skills and techniques need not be part of modern football. It has nothing to do with winning or effectiveness.

Subzero047:


And so what?

Na you deh talk like this haba

Quality that only who can see ❓

Quality is not hidden it is expressed and commended with lucrative contracts to top clubs and league.

Aina, Tomori, Ademola, Bellingham, Richards , all left the second tier Championship to top clubs and better first tier league in the EPL, Bundesliga and Seria A. Because they were outstanding in that league.

You cannot say someone is outstanding and after five years of opportunity has remained in mediocrity in a very poor Segundo division.

The Dude is the lowest paid player in his club. Do you know league two players get more money than him in England.

You are being emotive.

The guy failed woefully at Arsenal he was not in good enough. He goes to Porto and they put him in the youth team. At every stage of his career he had not been able to step up. What skill and talent did he have that he could not eclipse those small boys in Arsenal.

And please don't say racism and favouritism.

Go and look at Aston Villa Carney Chukwuemeka ,l watched this boy destroy almost single handedly Liverpool U18.

These are the unknown Hidden gems we should be getting on board not getting lost in nostalgia for youth players who have not grown beyond that level. Add to that age is no longer on his side ( whether it's football age or not)

This matter should be buried let's look at upcoming talents who are yet to explode in top teams .

daveP:


I'm not going to be suddenly comfortable with enikeni cos of they worked with someone. We can't repeat Rohr mistake. Besides its SE, the big brand here. Names that doesn't look it should not get it. We are suddenly trusting this guy due to the sugarcoating of Mou? I think Pinnick deliberately did this so we Nigerians will overlook sentimentally. Everyone trusting cos its Mou.


Even Pep and Klopp have made silly decisions at a point in time. I dunno why Mou's word is suddenly Platinum here. Not like he understands African football philosophy, etc.


Same old mistake.

Naso dem hype Lagerback with Tactician tag. Baba just dey touchline dey fold ams dey look like Lost Santa Claus.



Never Again!!!!

TheGoodJoe:


While watching Eguavoen's tactical video, he talked about something. Dictating play with diagonal long balls.

Chukwuemeka might destroy with skill and pace. However, he does not play that way. He does not dictate play with diagonal long balls.

So will you force the coach to abandon his philosophy because a player destroys team with skill and pace? It does not work like that. The coach must pick players that suit his philosophy. Even if the player plays on the moon.

The most annoying thing for me is that, in modern football right in the 18 yard box, once a winger/player sees an opponent facing him, the next thing is to play the ball back to the midfield, then from the midfield to defence and back to the goal keeper..what worst example of timewasting do you have than that...they say they are looking for space..widen the field draw out players...just a single mercurial player can give you all in seconds.

Very pathetic kind of football...now I watch more nba...now that they have axed the floppings..it is getting more exciting...if a Nigerian am interested in is not playing..or a team that plays entertaining football..I don't waste my time watching drab football..why else would I watch if it is not entertaining...if they want goals..they should just turn all matches to penalty kicks...and they would have tons of goals.

Now I don't support any team, I just pick my teams and games and watch the ones that would entertain me..it's my time and money.

MetalJigsaw:
I totally agree With you. Football nowadays is less entertaining. Skillful players are going extinct.

Reason why players like Ejuke are undervalued by clubs

Philosopher1979:



The sports minister should knock some sense into Amaju pinnick.
He should be forced to accept Eguavon as the coach to Afcon or nothing else.
Caf might even sanction us if we dont submit our final 28 man list on time.
Sunday Dare should act fast and stop Amaju pinicks childish, corrupt tantrums

Ppogbae:
Ivory Coast final list for AFCON

Morocco has also released their final 28. A somewhat controversial list...

drDoom3:


Kudus
Afena-Gyan
Salisu

These are the ones I can recall off the top of my head. There are more.

DrKlever:
Oh yeah that's fine by me. Can you pm. If there is a means to fix a few things behind before posting here? Or

jihday:
they were already bottom when he took over tho

komekn:


I5 games and only 3 wins and they were relegated, that is INCOMPETENCE.

But what's even worse and very worrying this Dude has coached at 25 different clubs over the past 20 years.

This guy is absolutely not be to trusted ,he had no Integrity , honour, and goes anywhere he can get paid.

I guess that makes him a perfect candidate for the NFF.

andrewbaba44:


I am sure you are calling it a controversial list because of ziyech omission,but it’s not a controversial list .

nelszx:
Hearing we may be getting a 30 man list. Camp starts 28th and this feet dragging by the NFF is something else.

If Eguavoen isn't going to lead us, name a coach and let him get to work immediately.

do4luv14:



which feet dragging, tell your sport minister to hands off

Even before Rohr was sacked, almost everything had been put in place for them to camp in Akwa Ibom, which was a few hours drive to their games venue in Cameroon,

Only for Sunday to say the camp must hold in Abuja,

humility33:


Just can't wait for this NFF era just like Buhari government to be over

I was thinking we southerners managing NFF will do things differently but it is obvious the Northerners are smarter and better so far when it comes to football administration in Nigeria

If you criticize the NFF now...just like Buhari foot soldiers, pinnick supporters will come quote u just like Buhari, Pinnick does no wrong.

Incompetence flows in all arms and agencies of the government. Why don't allow Equeavon led this team to afcon what is the obsession with a foreign coach

We need results, if Austin is unable to win the afcon then we can recruit a foreign coach.... at this time shopping for a foreign coach for the super eagles is ill timed and unnecessary....what we need is to put all hands on deck to achieve something from the forthcoming AFCON and afterwards we shift focus to the world cup

Pinnick need to get his priorities right, I believe the NFF is the one delaying the preparation and not the coaching crew

Famocious:
As seen on Twitter this morning..

Could this be the exact reason why NFF is foot dragging on releasing the so called 30-man Eagles list?

do4luv14:




I don't take lightly to that statement of yours, are you saying Southerners are dull and bereaved of ideas.

pls don't ever use We southerners again, and by the way what are you still doing in the South why not relocated permanently to the North
