andrewbaba44:Modified : I went through the list again, the number of Teams with African players are more than 10. The African big star players playing in Laliga are mostly morrocan immigrants and maybe the togolese captain with Getafe and maybe 2 with Villarreal. If you still think this is not enough to conclude that Laliga teams don't like African players.... Hmmmm |

Mujtahida: Cc.Mujtahida Ikenga is not actually the physical representation of uk "chi." In fact , Ikenga is more prominent in the Northern Igbo or Nri-Awka areas. The Southern Igbo are ignorant of the house deity. Ikenga is usually for men of Ozo title or Nwanyi Odu ( women with ivory traditional titles). |

This is a very controversial opinion, but the more I see some takes about some of our players, the more I believe that the 90's Super Eagles team is one of the worst things to have happened to the newer generation players and fans. For a team that could not even make it past the Round of 16 at the World Cup, were they really that great? If you want to call Cameroon in the 90's, you can say they reached Quarters, Ghana in the 2010's also reached Quarters, the 90's Eagles at best, played scintillating football with mid results. So, why do kids who were born years after this reign or were not even old enough to enjoy this reign, have to constantly live up to a reign that, to be honest, was not even so awesome when you look at results? Which day, someone said calling up Dessers was an 'insult' to the Super Eagles because his stats were not 'good enough', and when I inquired on how it could be an insult when we have had the likes of Sani Keita and an aged Ameobi represent us at the World Cup, oga was replying me with, "I'm talking about Super Eagles in the 90's blah blah blah..." Even me sef, I don't know anything about the 90's Eagles, I do not have any recollection of those days and a great number of Nigerian football fans today, don't know anything beyond stories and a few clips of that team, so, why do some people constantly rubbish the efforts of these younger players? Why can't we see them as new? How do we foist the weight of Okocha on a young Mikel and even after Mikel has retired, we now want to foist the same weight on an Iwobi? Why will some fans not allow that generation to rest and start citing moments more people can relate to, like the 2013 AFCON? Please, the AFCON team of '94 will be clocking 28 years, the '98 World Cup team is as old as Maduka Okoye, managing our expectations also means changing the glasses we use in our judgement of players. 15 Likes |

JohnBullMySon: That goal Maduka conceded against Cape Verde away really exposed his Lack of enough technical knowledge of goalkeeping. Only cadet team goalkeepers concede such goals. Role of the goalkeeper is always very important for a tournament like the AFCON. A goalie is always a key figure in the defense. If any of our knockout games goes into penalty shootouts can we be confident enough with Maduka as a penalty stopper? 5 Likes 1 Share |

ChrisKels: Cc. ChrisKels My doubt about religion was something I couldn't wish away because I have serious question regarding the legitimacy of the Bible and the role of God in our everyday life. I had kept my mind open and continued to read , learn and understand and stumbled on an article authored by Thomas Paine , an English-American radical of 18th century , called "The Age of Reason," and after reading this swell of a text I was shaken. |

Icon4s: But Enyeama was not the penalty stopper for us too, Ejide was the better penalty stopper. Some teams have their penalty stoppers, who isn't necessarily the #1 goalie. |

JohnBullMySon:IMO it would have been the best decision, but CAF refused No matter what we say about clubs refusing to release players thereby insulting our tournament, we should also consider the fact that other national football federation fix their games when the coast is clear for everyone but why will our own be different. Come on, these clubs pay heavily for these guys only for them to be yanked out at a crucial time like this. |

safarigirl: I understand the root of your opinion on this matter. I Watched the Green Eagles of the 1980s, I watched the Super Eagles of the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and now 2020s For those of us Who have seen these different decades/generations of Eagles players, no doubt, we will tell you that the 1990s generation was the best. We were better than that 2nd round finish of 1994. Even FIFA ranked Nigeria 5th just before the WC started and slipped down to 11th in the first ranking just after the WC. That 90s team was really great. Another factor is that so many countries had great teams that era. Likes of Brazil, Italy, Germany, Argentina, Netherlands also had their greatest teams that era. Playing against them, you stood a little chance. It is only normal for people to rate the current team based on previous teams. In fact, in my head, the current generation is the weakest. 8 Likes 1 Share |

safarigirl:I have always been a part of this thread before Russia 2018. You can check my post history to find out. Pinick sent a budget of 15B Buhari naira to the sports ministry for approval, for AFCON and world cup qualifiers. So we can't plead penury to scout real players. Rohr waffling around with poor goalkeepers ultimately cost him his job. Had he done his due deligence and did proper scouting, not judging players solely based on public data, he would have figured this position out. |

safarigirl: It was not even Ejide, it was initially Ayenugba. But with time Enyeama grew into becoming a penalty stopper. If Maduka cannot be our penalty stopper who in the current team do you think can do that? None has that pedigree so far. And it is a cause for worry. Penalties conclude several knock out games in the AFCON. |

safarigirl: Our defense is experienced and descent enough to handle any attacks in this AFCON. We don't have a Big commanding figure behind the defense (IE the goalie). We had that problem too in the last AFCON. |

Icon4s: I share the same sentiment with you 100%. It's a real shame how mal naurished our keeping options have been since 2017. Rohr sent a trainer to work with Uzoho before the world cup. One would have thought he should have devoted more reasourses in scouting and training more keepers before now. Truth is that our midfield will is not built for Spain-like total domination, so you need a real keeper who will dominate his box and keep you in games especially those tense moments. Non of our keepers are capable of this. 4 Likes |

Papi85:Hmm...I shared you feelings,when one is in love one behave like SIMPS and people who have not experienced real love calls you mumu....my man I will not deceive you are not a man yet until you get married even courtship is fake. ORIGIN,yes our culture is cool but sometimes it leads some astray...my question, if the said lady belonged to a noble family or for instance a president or governor daughter,would your family kick against the relationship? a moniker here Chriskels said something about where you babe came from,pls go and read it again. STUBBORNNESS and UUNFORGIVEN....well it is left for you to decide,can you take it or not....what I can take in a relationship you may not take it and what you can take I may dislike it,meaning it is left for you to decide. My candid advice,marriage is a mystery that till today nobody can really say how it is,even the so called men of God.....only forgiveness can make marriage last,nothing more....my man relax your mind and look unto God for solution. Good you brought it here not romance section where your problems would have been compounded I wish you the best. 2 Likes 1 Share |
