To be honest, Victor Moses' excuses are becoming way too much. He keeps citing fitness concerns even when he wasn't a regular feature in the second half of the just concluded season for West Ham as he always mostly made the bench only coming on as a substitute on a few occasions even when "fit". He also ended the season "Fit". Haba! It's very irritating indeed. I am a big fan of Victor Moses, every one here knows that...... I always prefer him to Musa on our right flank. But right now.... this is near to the last straw Moses had drawn and when I see the many super options we have coming through in attack, I think it's time to leave Moses as he seems no more motivated to dorn Nigeria's Colors. Even as I type this, It hurts. I so much like Victor Moses but We have a new era to build and promote. Little time exists for trivial nonsense. Orkpekyandega: 3 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: That is what happens when a team depends solely on foreign grown players. If we can develop our league just like Tunisia or Egypt. People like Victor Moses will not be doing us 'yanga'. Better still I stand to agree with Orkpekyandega's suggestion that we should find a suitable and permanent replacement for him. 2 Likes |

[b][size=14pt] Yusuf in race for Eagles top post after scoring high marks [/size] Coach Salisu Yusuf - Humble and tactically strong Nigeria interim coach Salisu Yusuf could well be given the top post on a full-time basis should the country fail to hire a foreign coach after he was praised by both officials and players for his tactical prowess and humility. Yusuf, longtime assistants to Stephen Keshi, Sunday Oliseh and Samson Siasia, has earned respect for his tactical shrewdness which saw him outwit Mali and their French coach Alain Giresse on Friday in Rouen. His second half changes brought spark to the Eagles leading to the match winner by Manchester city starlet Kelechi Iheanacho. An official who is France with Eagles told AfricanFootball.com: “Nigeria could now settle for Salisu should a foreign coach option fail. “He has impressed with his tactical approach against Mali. “And the players have taken to him because he is not arrogant unlike his predecessors, who dwelled so much on their exploits as players.” The former Ranchers Bees and El Kanemi Warriors midfielder has already proved himself at two of Nigeria’s top clubs, Kano Pillars and Enyimba. The Eagles have crashed out of next year’s AFCON but they will be hoping to qualify for a sixth World Cup when the qualifying tournament begins in October. http://africanfootball.com/news/629562/Yusuf-in-race-for-Eagles-top-post-after-scoring-high-marks [/b] 2 Likes |

justiz5: In short, "he is someone you can control." When are we going to play top friendlies to grade our team. The Copa America is close and we can not play one of the top South American teams like Chile or Brazil. That is how we can grade our coaches, not Mali and Luxembourg. 4 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: Apart from the Enyeama incident and Emenike incident, a lot of players did not have problems with Coach Oliseh. During the CHAN, the players showed solidarity to Coach Oliseh. During Coach Keshi's reign, the players showed solidarity too. When an NFF official is talking arrogance, definitely it is not just in respect to the players but someone who is not arrogant to the NFF members like Coach Oliseh. So who did the players not take to because Coach was arrogant? Keshi, Oliseh or Siasia, or all of them or some. Get us tough friendly games before singing praises. 4 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: I like as you started it. You think I am aiming an attack on Coach Salisu Yusuf when in fact, your first statement shows I was referring to a statement made by The NFF official. You know I dislike a lot of the attitudes of some of our NFF officials. I was not in any way attacking Coach Yusuf. I respect him, he is experienced, paid his dues and I am expecting fireworks from him after he is done carrying out an understudy of Guardiola at the Etihad campus. I want real tests of our strength on the international scene. Luxembourg and Mali is not good enough tests for us. It is time we take bolder strides. I remember us playing Italy and Catalonia under Coach Keshi and drawing with both. You can not tell me those are the same kind of test as playing Mali. Mind you, Coach Keshi's Super Eagles put 4 past Mali. Please, look again, the control statement was in quotation marks, I was talking of the NFF officials statement and I further explained what I meant. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Quotation or not u are dropping shade simple and plain. Give the man his credit and stop looking for reasons to put him down. In his first match as coach of a brand new put together team Mali is more than good. I didn't hear none of this when Oliseh asked to play Niger. Btw Mali has not missed 2 afcon's in a row like us. Maybe we play bigger teams next time but as of now we should take things step by step. |

BascoVanVeli: I criticised the Friendly games of Coach Oliseh. Niger, I was angry. That was no test. I even want us to stop being result dependent. I believe tough games help the coaches and the team grow. Win or lose. I even want Coach Yusuf to play along with the NFF, so things can run smoothly for a while until he gets his ground in the team. I want the Super Eagles up against the best, playing Germany, Belgium, Chile, Argentina. These experiences will make our young boys grow in experience fast. Coach Yusuf has my full support. All though I wanted another chance for Coach Siasia but I see his promotion from the coaching crew as a continuity of the project. I did not mean to sound as if I was putting the Coach down if it read like that. 2 Likes |

[b][size=14pt] Home-based Eagles tackle Tanzania in final AFCON qualifier [/size] Chima Akas (right) could be one of the home-based Eagles to face Tanzania in September by Samm Audu AfricanFootball.com understands that cash-strapped Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are seriously considering lining up a home-based Super Eagles for a final AFCON 2017 qualifier at home against Tanzania in September. Three-time African champions Nigeria have failed for the second straight time to qualify for the AFCON and so the home game against Tanzania will be a mere formality. “Players from the domestic league are most likely to be the ones to play the Tanzania match because it will not only save the federation much-needed funds, but also give the players to stake a claim in the main Eagles ahead of the World Cup qualifiers particularly as they were overlooked for the friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg,” a top official told only AfricanFootball.com The 2018 World Cup qualifiers will begin in October. http://africanfootball.com/news/629547/Home-based-Eagles-tackle-Tanzania-in-final-AFCON-qualifier [/b] 1 Like |

The Mainz 05 ace paired Norway-based William Troost-Ekong in the heart of the Eagles back four against Mali on Friday, but his mistakes are likely to see lose his place to either Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo or Turkey-based Gbenga Arokoyo for the next game in Luxembourg City. “The coaches have noted Balogun’s mistakes and will now consider either Omeruo or Arokoyo to pair Troost-Ekong against Luxembourg,” a top source who is in France with the Eagles informed AfricanFootball.com Omeruo has been held back by a visa hitch and only had his first training with the rest of the squad Saturday evening. The 27-year-old Balogun made 21 appearances in the Bundesliga last season and scored a goal as Mainz finished an impressive sixth on the table. http://africanfootball.com/news/629545/EXCLUSIVE-Eagles-drop-Leon-Balogun-after-Mali-blunders [/b] 1 Like |

The Man City Youth coaches said something when Nacho arrived the EDS and began his further development.... I am sure you remember. The words remain with me always...... They said, ".......... By the time we are done with Nacho (Iheanacho), we would make "a messi" outta him". In Nacho, I see traits of many of the greats of the beautiful game from Pele to Eusebio, from Mario Kempes to Zico, from Marco Van Basten to even Romario, from George Weah to Jari Litmanen, from KANU Nwankwo to Samuel Eto'o fils, from C.Ronaldo the goals machine to Lionel Messi the alien himself.... To be honest, I have super analysed Nacho's style, game, attitude to the sport, and more..... and I tell you confidently that Nacho is a super amalgam of all the names I mentioned above based on one or two traits related to each name and even some more not mentioned..... IHEANACHO HAS TRAITS OF SEVERAL Greats In HIS GAME and Overall attitude added upon his very own unique features. This is why I strongly assert that in NACHO we have a player who won't go on to be the next Lionel Messi or next CR9 or CR7 (he was CR9 at Real before he became CR7 ).... noooooo..... We have an Original like Jay Jay Okocha was an original. KANU, Finidi, Amuneke, Yekini, and other key members of Nigeria's First Golden Generation were Originals. "Iheanacho won't go on to be the next 'Anything' (be it next messi, next C.Ronaldo, or next Pele.... nope). He has traits from all of them.... This kid is gonna become the VERY FIRST KELECHI IHEANACHO"....-- SuperNerd's Super Computers/Super Analytics intelligence Advanced Research's final conclusion after 10th Super players potentials super diagnosis re-run of tests in His Special Super Labs. Iheanacho will go on to become the First Iheanacho and soon people will come to associate the name "Iheanacho" with the terms, "World's best Footballer", " World Class Star", etc just like Einstein became associated with the word "Genius"..... you will think The names Einstein and Genius are super synonyms. Just like the way David is associated with the name Giant Slayer.... and more Even when you hear Messi today, tell me what comes to your mind? Or when you hear Edison? Bill Gates? **think about it** IHEANACHO HEADLINES A NEW SUPER GOLDEN ERA IN OUR FOOTBALL...... IT ALL BEGAN IN 2013.
