It was a fake April fool news by Pulse Nigeria. How can a coach who just qualified for the world cup and is already preparing his team for the showdown in Qatar be thinking of coaching Nigeria

Unpopular opinion,
Rohr, though not a sound tactician, should be offer a position of a chief scout for the National Teams.

Man seem to have Nigeria at heart. His post world cup qualification interviews are touching. Man sounds like someone who is adopting Nigeria as his second country.

Amaju, pending the glass house election later in the year, should stick to administration and stop canvassing for foreign borns. He sucks at it.

Iwobi's moment of brilliance against Zambia in 2017 WCQ keeps playing in my head.

V. Moses, Iwobi, Balogun and Ekong have been the biggest steal in the last decade. Others haven't really lived up to expectations

We do not need Rohr again. The Pain of missing out seems too much to handle by most folks here. What are the Achievements of Rohr with Eagles? Seem some of us are satisfied with making Number only at the Mundial?

Rohr is gone, gone fuckin forever. He's never a type we can keep for long. He won bronze for us at AFCON? Local Coaches done same, even won the Tournament.

He qualified us for WCs without Permutations... and so? Local Coaches had done same and did well at same Tournament. Late Keshi was just unfortunate to make it to Quarter Final in Brazil.

Chief Scout you said? He failed massively as a Scout already. Where is Bazee? Idowu, Dessers and Co? Maduka is an average Keeper. Most of the foreign Borns he brought to the Squad are fuckin average.

His Chapter should be closed completely.

Seems much more unpopular Opinion on this Thread now, but I still believe Amuneke should be given a Chance, but Alloy Agu should never near the Technical Crew again, rather Ike Shorunmu should be brought back.

Osimhen missed, Moses missed, Dennis missed etc. There were chances though very few and if converted could have changed something.

We should not have over relied on him.
which better Chance osimhen miss?

The other African representatives will be embarrassed
This year’s WC looks tough o

Serbia is a solid team but might not get out of their group. That’s to show some groups are hard. Denmark is another tactically sound team.
If any of these teams catch Nigeria, the beating ehn.

Waiting for Portugal v Senegal friendly
Morocco will qualify

The Super Eagles lacks a leader!

Rohr was right. We do not have players who can single handedly win a game. Players in the calibre of Jay Jay, Kanu Nwakwo, Sunday Oliseh, and the irreplaceable Vincent Enyeama.

Rather than than allowing this to sink in. We ve sold lies to ourselves and we ve projected it to the lads. Reason why players like Moses Simon, Osihmen, Chukwueze etc felt they can pull it alone. We went into the double legged game counting on a debative individual talent rather than a collective team effort.

Missing out at the world stage is painful. This hurt will linger to the end of the tornament in December. What a long year ahead for true Eagles supporters.
There's nothing like the hurt lingering and nothing like a fake super eagles supporter.

If for everytime you get hurt you let it linger until long, you're really hurting yourself more actually.

It is okay to hurt a few days but allowing it to get to over 9 months, ogbeni na yourself you de do o no be any person.

I don't agree. This Ghanaian side is a good team. U guys just didn't want to hear any stories about the AFCON exit but Dede Ayew's Red was criminal and I don't think Comoros beats ghana 11 on 11. Once Ayew returns I expect an even better attack. The defense with Amartey leading is very solid. Midfield will be as good as many at the WC, iddrisu Baba was even supposed to replace Partey at atletico. If u guys go in there with the right mentality anything can happen.
thanks bro, well i think we ghanaians are still hang up on previous squads of stephen appiah, essien, gyan, kp boateng, christian atsu etc so we fail to appreciate the quality of this present team, morever their performance at afcon made us write them off but we found a technical bench who can make good use of them i guess....

I don’t know. They rather invited a division 2 player they don’t actually trust else why was he not used in the first leg when Osimhen was marked out?

Anyway, dem eyes don clear.
i still dont get it though, i thought awoniyi was injured but AE messed up.... He could has tried converting iheanacho into an attacking midfielder to provide defense splitting passes like messi does nowadays.

Whilst I don't disagree with Rohr being maintained as past tense in whatever capacity relating to the Eagles I think your comment there about where are Bazee etc is very harsh. But each to their own.

Keshi was unfortunate to make it to the quarter final in Brazil? Lol

In actual fact he was fortunate to have got out of the group. With VAR we don't beat Bosnia and get knocked out.

Disagree. This Ghanaian team is not better than our current Super Eagles. Man for man in terms of player abilities, profile and potential they are not on our level. Of course that doesn't mean they cannot win a game against us. Football being a low scoring game by nature means outcomes like the one we have just seen will continue to happen especially when head to head games are played in such short time periods.

With all due respect Amartey is rubbish, ask Leicester city fans, their midfield is totally wack, similar to our own without Ndidi and upfront there is little on offer. Kamaldeen and Kudus can play a bit but they will get roasted at the world cup. No malice. Save this post.

Are you trying to praise the Ghanian team so our performance wouldn't look so wack

This was our easiest path to the world cup in a long time and we blew it. Nothing like the Ghanaian side being a strong side. That one is just a feel good speech.

I said the same thing in all my previous videos about Ghana. If I had ever uttered anything different this ur comment might have made sense.

I have always seen Ghana as a quality side but their keeper took them over the top against us. Ghana vs Nigeria can never be considered a easy tie.

I didn't compare them to anybody. U might have read that wrong.

I doubt u will find one Leicester City fan with a bad word for Amartey. He has not been playing as a midfielder so i also doubt u actually watched him this season.

pain gotten from hurt is temporary, it intensity reduces with time and will eventually subside when something else of equal or closer magnitude takes its place. But note it takes time.

you want to be using the super eagles to play Russian roulette? Honest question, what qualifies Amunike to be a good prospect for the eagles job? What qualities did you see to make you think he’ll be perfect for us ?

I didn't mean to say he plays in midfield bro. I have watched him many times and in my eyes has had only one good game. Many a leicester fan will concur with this assessment. But that's by the way. All I am emphasizing is man for man we are a better side than Ghana. Head and shoulders. No bias. The result is just unfortunate. They wanted it more.

Then why talk about midfield Anyways he has been a CB this season and without him I don't know where Leicester would be because they have had so many injuries at that particular position.

I never compared Nigeria and Ghana. I said they had a good team. Being better than them man for man doesn't mean their team is not good.

If Senegal looseguard Ecuador will upset them ,they should take Ecuador seriously ,because if a team can qualify for the World Cup ahead of Colombia and Uruguay the team is good enough

Still on still ,tipping the Netherlands and Senegalese to scale through ,but anything can still happen
Don’t know why people are overlooking Qatar & Ecuador
Home fans in the early stages of WC.
Senegal might lose all three if they look down on any team.
Qatar will be solid in their first two games because of home support

Yaw and Bukari are very solid wingers! Kudus, Partey and Issiaku are solid midfielders. Going all out attack or playing one DM will be catastrophic! The Ghanaians players are good and skillful too. It's just that we have a better bench. Our first team is not that far apart. Don't expect an easy game in Kumasi. Infact a scoring draw will be a very good result. I don't really trust our defense and goalkeepers!
