I know carney and hv seen him play but I think we don’t stand a chance getting him

He is a pogba/Bellingham type of player

soetanoreoluwa:


You remember 2013 afcon? When everybody think CIV will beat Nigeria black and blue then NFF already book ticket for us before the match but somehow we won.

Fast forward today, the same everybody is tipping Nigeria to win Tunisia cos of their poor performance and covid 19 problem.

We just need to be very careful and do the needful or else we are out of the tournament.

Omoh, people heart go break like 2018 WC match against Argentina.

However, this dream won't come to reality.

humility33:

Minfelix bro...Which kind of dream is this

Bro it is not every dream you must share na
This dream brings fear imagine the super eagles players seeing this

Abeg ooo

maidaboi:
The ref was being kind..he suspended Dennis so he can

codemaniacs:


it is not wise to reach out to foreign born talents...

it is better for them to be the ones to reach out same way Ashleigh Plumptre reached out, not all foreign borns identify with the country of their parents.

Nigeria also has a huge number of Nigerian born players to choose from...

the inferiority complex that made you say "You cannot wait until they start making waves and hope that by some dumb luck they will look your way. You will have to settle for the average ones."...

why can't they be "making waves" and still express their desire to play for the SE

why aren't Nigeria born players that are making waves like Samuel Adegbenro, Emmnuel Bonke, Simy and Akinkunmi Amoo called to the S.E

The Key is early relationship.

I really don't know a EPL Academy that doesn't have a good number of Nigerian origin players at every level of their academy.

You create relationship early but we don't.

The reason is very clear there is no personal pecuniary advantage to be gained by our NFF officials and so they are not interested.

You may find this hard to believe (Maybe),but I have reached out to NFF officials and had some discussions. I can see they are not really interested.

minfelix:
I jus jumped out of one kind nonsense dream now , Nigeria leading Tunisia 1-0, inside my dream NEPA took light, turning on my Generator only for me to see Tunisia leading us 2-1 @ 82nd mins, and Moses given a penalty after being fouled in the box 18... Keeper saved penalty, iheanacho playing the rebound to hit bar ....Ndidi red carded due to his frustrating tackles....
Thank God I force myself to wake up, so the game didn't end...we may equalize
Plsss all prayer warriors in the house oya join me, let's pray against this jagajaga dream.... Holy ghoooooooooooosssssttttt!!!!

Ppogbae:

kingphilip:

So for every youngster with Nigerian origin (over 10,000 as you stated in this thread sometimes ago) we should maintain a relationship with them?

How do you suggest we do that please?

andrewbaba44:


Leave Dennis alone

Nigeria is doing well at the afcon yet Na Dennis wey no come afcon still be your problem

Una can Dey emotional sha

TheGoodJoe:
Our doors are not close. Any foreign born that wants to play for us should make himself available. This will help us know. We can not start flying NFF officials to convince foreign borns to identify with us.

We should focus on channelling our efforts to harnessing our local talents as we did in the near past. With thorough scouting programs.

The door remains open to all.

Our efforts remain focused inside the country.

That is how we will build a superior pool of players.

maidaboi:
lol you don't love Dennis more than me bro

mostob:
Bro..the good thing about this team is we don't have a star man. If they cage Moses, Aribo will run the show from the midfield or we switch to Chuks' wing. At worst, Olayinka can come in and we resort to a fluid front 3.
There is no way this team can be caged IMO

komekn:


Your naked prejudice ,bias and refusal to instill a merit based system to anchor ⚓ team selection upon. Makes it impossible for someone to like you to understand and appreciate.

There are now millions of Nigerians who live outside Nigeria that's a pool of talent that you simply cannot relate to.

The door remains closed to those who want fair play and merit based selection.

Dannyxy:
If Nigeria looses tomorrow, it will be because of luck, sad it may seem, I will be fine with the progress I have seen so far..

But in football most times, luck is with the better team, Nigeria can never be complacent against a north African team, it's a mindset thing, so if luck us against us tomorrow, it's fine, I don't know why una dey stress.

I feel Nigeria we will 3-0 because they have bee the best team in terms of tatic, performance, game play, entertainment this afcon, and from the first game I tipped us to win, just line I saw italy winning euros after thier first game, a classy team is in tournament mode in a tournament they have good history with, it's unlikely they will not grab it..

Nigeria vs Cameroon for finals.
Nigeria winning it....

Nomyth:


Yeah, makes sense.

Was just looking at the last afcon where our wingers ran the South Africans ragged in the qtrs but Algeria came with a plan for them in the semis and we couldn't find an answer till the end of the match.
