Tipping Canada to be the surprise team of the tournament while any of England, Belgium and Germany will be flop of the tournament. Best African team should be either Ghana or Morocco, Brazil or Argentina will win the tournament |

I disagree with the emboldened... Nigerian Football's True Glories may have started with the Super Eagles but it surely doesn't end with the Super Eagles. We have national teams who did exceptionally well this year. We have players who dorned our jerseys and repped with distinction. Are we gonna ignore them just because the Super Eagles lost 5 friendlies in one year? What about the fact that this same Super Eagles sit top of their Afcon Qualifiers group? We could lean a bit on that. Now look at this, holistically... in 2022: - Nigeria's U17 Golden Eaglets won the Wafu B Afcon Qualifiers tournament with distinction. We won all games. We have lads like Emmanuel Michael, Abubakar Abdullahi, Precious Williams, Richard Odoh (GK), Jibril Azeez, Raphael Oyebanjo, Basil Mbata, Ebube Okere, Ozor Okeke, Miracle Ogwor, Yahaya Lawali, Jeremiah Olaleke, Light Eke etc all in that squad of truly talented youngsters. Are we not gonna recognise them? - Nigeria's U20 Flying Eagles won the Wafu B Afcon Qualifiers Tournament as well. We won it unbeaten. The squad includes impressively talented lads like Daniel Daga, Ibrahim Muhammed, Tolulope Ojo, Oluwatosin Adegbite, Nathaniel Nwosu (GK), Ahmed Abdullahi and a few more. Are we not gonna recognise them? - Nigeria’s Flamingoes won Bronze at the FIFA U17 WWC becoming the Second African side to bag a medal at that level. Impressive lasses like Opeyemi Ajakaye, Amina Bello, Edidiong Etim, Miracle Usani, Taiwo Afolabi, Faith Omilana (GK), etc. Should we ignore them too?? - Our Super Falcons didn't win the Wafcon but we saw Asisat Oshoala earn a Ballon D'or Nomination and ranking this year. When was the last time a Nigerian player man or woman earned that? I think we should go ahead with the NNFF Awards. We have feats and talents to recognise even in the midst of a bad year in general for the Super Eagles. Cc Danielnino00, Icon4s. Hanibal: 7 Likes |

BannedLarge:Rohr's performance for the Super Eagles is sharply divided into two phases. Pre Russia 2018 and Post Russia 2018. First phase was good, second phase went from bad to awful. Look at those matches you listed. They fit into the first phase bar Brazil. |

“They didn’t deserve to qualify for the World Cup from the way they played. The Ghanaians showed they wanted it more than our boys. Their attitude was not the best at all and they were nonchalant in their play. “And this is what you get when you have 99 percent of your players born overseas,” the ‘Bull’ concluded. |

Clearly, with the collapse of the talent ecosystem and its engineering at home, the NFF in its desire to cover up its gross inefficiencies has consistently packed the national team with foreign players of average individual brilliance that were literally begged to don the national colours. And that has been the unfortunate trend since the 90s’ golden era of Nigerian football. The fallout of ‘anyone that plays overseas is good enough’ is having a national team of strangers that are lacking in cohesion, discipline and passion to play to strength. Opinion of sports writers and stake holders. Copied |

The new NFF boss also hinted that the number of foreign-born players in the Super Eagles would be reduced going forward. He, however, noted that the country couldn’t rely on the home-based players alone to bring back the glory days in Nigerian football. |
