First time Nigeria will be playing a football match and I'm not moved. Like, I don't care if they lose or win, I don't even care if they have a match today or not. No single emotional attachment. Nna ehn

May we try watch am.Since Eguavoen prefers attacking football and Ilechukwu sets up his team by making them compact at the back.

I expect at least 3 goals in this match.

You recall Eguavoen's group stage record in AFCON 21, where he recorded 100% victory in the group stage.

Last time we graced a video game was 2018 version of fifa World Cup edition it’s because of the World Cup

If you see Nigeria anywhere else you’ll see names you haven’t heard of before lol 😂
PES 2018 (now eFootball), 2022 patch.

You're correct about names but there's a way we go to the database and get the squad. Heck even Simy Nwankwo were there.

The same Rohr we criticised sorely for parading a lean midfield has now eight midfielders in his squad.
Something is very wrong, and it is clear that the whole blame is not with him.
The lean midfield affected his style of play.

Let us not underestimate Benin.
They may have one or two Kelechi Nwakali that is better than the midfielders we parade.
They may also have Ejuke…..Oga Meli the eyes wey I dey look you ehen.

Here is the kind of discipline these boys need. I see that AE has changed it for them, they are all wearing proper warm-up canvass on their foot. Unlike under Finidi where they will wear designer slippers. Well this are the little things that count. This are what we need to see. And they will stroll with this under the rain.

No offense, and it's really difficult for me to say this because I respect a lot of people on this thread, but the way some of you talk on this thread can make a new born baby seem smart. It's because of people like you that our football is in the current rot it's in. Na people like you dey NFF glass house dey destroy our football.


Which one is Eguavoen used one year to give us bronze and Rohr used three years? How many tournaments were available to Rohr during his tenure?


Rohr was appointed in 2016 and before he was appointed, Nigeria failed to qualify for back to back AFCON editions (2015 and 2017). The man brought the Super Eagles out of the grave by qualifying for the 2019 AFCON after his predecessors couldn't do so twice, and you're saying Eguavoen A.K.A "You know Guardiola" is better than him?



A lot of the players Rohr used in 2019 were playing in the AFCON for the first time. Can you compare them to the seasoned players that were available to Eguavoen when he won a bronze?


If Eguavoen was so good, why did we get knocked out in the Round of 16 of the 2021 AFCON by Tunisia's second eleven, even when he used the same players that Rohr used to win a bronze in 2019?


If Eguavoen was so good, why couldn't we qualify for the 2022 World Cup, something that Genort Rohr did so seamlessly by defeating African Giants at that time, like Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia. Oh, lest I forget, he also qualified with A GAME TO SPARE. 😲 shocked


It's okay to hate, but make una dey hate with facts. Make sure you have facts to back up your hatred.


As long as people like you continue to rubbish Rohr's efforts, people like me will always be available to call out your BS and nah long epistles like this one I go dey use quote una. grin
Bro, is it for the sake of Rohr that you went all the way? Save your energy. Rohr ain't worth it.

He started with a bang and ended with a whimper. Better is the end of a matter than it's beginning so says the good book.

I will wager that if Eguavoen was given the seven years that Rohr was given he'd have possibly performed better.

I do not disparage Rohr's achievements but I don't think he's the standard by which to judge anybody.

My client and I have an understanding. He knows that am 100% a believer in his capacity. Eguaveon is there now on an interim basis. As a patriotic Nigerian I have no option than to support him. Eguaveon performance cannot dim my client's star. I call him John the Baptist. He's preparing the way for my client. My client will clinch this job. I assure you.

there is no way i will read this and not reply you…we go drag this arguement enter 2030..ok let me start by saying
1. the first bolded; is not necessary ok, come clean with clean arguement and dont try to use shading language else the respect you say you have for people on this thread will be vain and in the mud, cos uve disrespected already

2. second bolded; Eguavoen jus also came into the fray in 2005 and led us to a bronze medal in 2006 which was his first major tournament(it means if he had stayed 3years before afcon 2006 who knws where we would reached) your rohr stayed 3years before afcon 2019, he has even gathered experience from 2018 WC as a coach no b so?)

3. you think if rohr was employed on that same emergency basis of 2022 WCQ he would have scaled through Ghana?…bros las las na draw he go play with ghana, which was what Eguavoen did

4. A lot of players rohr took to afcon were playing for the first time, fine we agree, but oga those guys were playing top level football week in week out, we assembled our best players to that afcon, not as if we carried amateurs (which more praises should be given to late keshi on that regard) and again you cant compare world cup to afcon, same squad that went to the world cup were the ones that played 2019 Afcon, so even without rohr a good coach would still have taken our player even to the Afcon final

5. we respect rohr highly for qualifying us to the Afcon after missing two editions, but stop making it look as if, if rohr had not come we wont qualify for Afcon again…we missed afcon in 2012 and then a Nigerian came and qualify us for 2013 edition.

6. “if eguavoen was good why cant he take super eagels past round 16”…if e sure for NFF make them sack Eguavoen after “probably” qualifying for afcon 2025 and bring in rohr lets see where he will take us to
i use to support rohr when he was our coach…but make all of ina rest, he was not our best coach ever.
If he was good he for still qualify us to world cup 3round qualifiers with A GAME TO SPARE….shey for group stage wey cape verde wan use our eyes see pepper



"If this, if that, If this, If that. If this happened, that wouldn't have happened; If this didn't happen, that would have happened." Guy, you're talking hypothesis, I'm talking facts. Your obsession with false assumptions is too evident.


You said that Rohr would have failed against Ghana just like Eguavoen did. That's very laughable because if there's anything that Rohr proved to Nigerians, it's his undeniable ability to qualify us for tournaments WITH EASE, something his predecessors failed at woefully.


Under Gernot Rohr, not for once did Nigerians bring out calculators to check our chances of qualifying. Rohr defeated Cameroon(Then African Champions), 4-0, beat Algeria(3-1) and defeated Zambia (Former African Champions) 1-0, to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, so who the fvck is Ghana that Rohr wouldn't have destroyed?



You said a good coach would have taken the inexperienced team that Rohr took to the 2019 AFCON to the final, so now I ask, if you really believe that, why did Eguavoen get knocked out of the Round of 16 of the 2021 AFCON? No be the same players him carry with few additions? Why dem knock am out like thief wey dem catch for market? According to your standards, it means Eguavoen is not a good coach. He's terrible.



Stop trying to cover up the failures of Eguavoen. Millions of Nigerians, home and abroad witnessed his stinking incompetence. He was given two jobs that required him to win the AFCON and qualify us for the World Cup and he failed terribly at them. He couldn't even get us the final of the AFCON, at least that would have saved him some time.


Rohr on the other hand met the expectations given to him by the NFF. He qualified us to the 2019 AFCON semi final. He also qualified us for the 2021 AFCON that Eguavoen got disgraced out of. When last did Nigeria get knocked out of an AFCON Round of 16? Shame no dey catch una?



Hate Rohr all you want, but I won't stay here and watch you shiiit on his achievements. And you're wrong, no be till 2030 we go drag this matter, because I ready to drag am TILL KINGDOM COME!!!!! The question is : ARE YOU READY? 🤣

The problem with the NFF is that it is being run like a government organization... The thing with government organizations is that it is a breeding ground for lazy, non visionary individuals.... Many board members of the NFF have in one way or the other been involvrd in politics in the country.. you cant expect such people to care about the growth of our football..

You are right. The thing is that the desire to chop government money overrides everything. So they abandon the goal and focus on chopping money.

Okay, this looks like a 3-4-3 at first glance at the lineup. 2 central midfielders. 2 wingbacks (fullbacks playing WB)... 3 CBs... 3 man frontline with Boniface flanked by Chuks and Lookman or could it be a 3-4-1-2?
