Their youth teams won their world cups.

Balogun made error against Central Africa Republic last year in Lagos. We lost that game

You do realise he scored our goal against Ghana
Balogun only real error was against Madagascar.CAR goal cannot be blamed on any player,just open play goal but Ekong already had two avoidable own goals cos he was not under any intense pressure,pls check that own goal against Mexico again.

The only thing I like about Ekong was his guts on the field of play,check out his penalty against Ghana but to be sincere with you I don't rate him.

Sunday Dare his achieved his aim. he just threw away the efforts of young girls who fought on their own with little support. He can now qualify us for the 20XX world cup with the home based team he has being obsessed with. Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with that man. Home based this and that all the time. If he's not against foreign coaches he's preventing players from playing.

When we had structures, we were not even doing well in Africa. Clubs like Ebun Comets, First Bank, etc use to be beaten by Angolan and Egyption clubs, Even Tunisians. This is not football, even if it is, even home based is really below raw. Two years is not even even enough to produce world beaters. NBA and WNBA is football s version of world cup, our players play there. Why ban the team?

Even Angola has declined greatly, though they have super structures at home, but their players are not there at the NBA

Politics have ruined this one once again. undecided undecided

I have read most, if not all the criticisms directed at the list above. Criticisms are very much welcome. I am grateful for them. However i will ask that if you are to give your criticism, please go a little extra to attach stats to the criticism you intend to purvey.

Life is ruled by facts not sentiments. I did not just wake up to compose that list, i invested time and resource studying every Super Eagles player. I did it out of love and enthusiasm.

I have also given the metrics i used for the compilation in my previous post. Please feel free to give a contrary opinion and do so with stats.

Beyond football, I'm not optimistic over Nigeria because I know that before we see any serious change, the mentality and behavior of majority of the people needs to become smarter and organized

That alone takes a lot of time.

Many Nigerians have too much ego. I already knew it was a matter of time before things like this pop up.

Many have that tendency to reject anything that is not "fully Nigerian" threatening to replace us permanently. It can have good sides but it has bad implications too.

BTW, it's not just a Nigerian thing. You'll see it in other major African countries like SA and Maybe parts of the African north.

bro the matter tire me how folks here rate certain players

Ejike as a player is bereft of footballing intelligence. Many here still fail to understand that the game have evolved where coaches demands for less dribble with efficiency because while dribbling a player may lose the ball which will wreck havoc to his team

Football is more mechanical and scientific now unlike years back. Here we tend to hype players that many atimes don’t merit it at all

Ejike is a poor player, to me he is still amateurish and have a lot to learn for him to make the leap to bigger leagues in the future

Football analysts and experts says otherwise.
So being the third best dribbler in the world is all you know about Ejuke.

You have not noticed his goals and assists, only one player at CSKA Moscow has more goals than him, and only one player made more assists than him. This is because he played most games in the second half of the season as a sub, at a time he was leading in goals and assists.

Only one player passes the ball better than Ejuke at CSKA Moscow, and that player is a midfielder.

I can tell you for free that Ejuke is more intelligent than all SE wingers.
No Super Eagles player commands more technique than Ejuke.

Yes it looks ludicrous prima facie, but you need a little deeper to uncover facts.
That we find it difficult to string passes, and transition from defense to attack is not altogether a coaching problem.

Ecuador did this modern play from the back. I noticed we didn't have a plan on how to counter that approach. It would be interesting to see how to counter that game style and at the same time, perfecting such a style to our strength. That has come to stay. Any team that can't do that in Africa should goan siddon.

Goalscoring should be listed as a shooting technique not passing technique.
Assists making is not a technique in football.

This is not the definition of technique, sir.

And you just listed the players with the best passing ability not technique

Here's dictionary definition of technique:
A method of achieving something or carrying something out, especially one requiring some skill or knowledge.

So passing technique is your method of passing the ball, not how many passes you have in your locker.

Respect, sir.

We might have different definitions of what passing is, then.

Nacho is the best passer on our team. Iwobi is close behind. No one else comes close. Maybe Bassey with long passes and crosses, and Aribo/Sadiq/Chuks occasionally here and there.

When it comes to pace, he’s quick
He’s got pace compared to other wingers we’ve got.
Against Ghana in the 75th minute our players were tired & somewhat slow
In my mind I was thinking if only they invited him and used him in the right flank as a super sub

Happy Sunday Yinkeys,Ejuke remind me of some flashy players that are so deceptive in their style of play....seeing Ejuke playing you love him straight but looking deeper you noticed something missing.I will pick Dennis and Lookman over him for now....he has the skills and if care is not taken one might decides to use as AM but guess what he need to improve on his decision with ball.
