BascoVanVeli: Before I believe? Who says I don't believe?? Like I previously, I am big fan of Isaac Success and totally believe in his potential. I actually rated him higher than Kelechi in the U-17 team. However, I was just keeping real. Isaac simply hasn't played enough this season to be included on that list. It's the same thing I said when Yaya Toure was nominated for the African Player of the year. No one doubts Toure's ability but, still, he hasn't played enough games this season to be included on the APOY list. O pari |

Kog45: There are things stats can not explain. Stats can not explain the delicate touch if Kanu Nwankwo and how he commands the ball to obey him during play. Stats can not explain Kanu dropping deep and motivating his team. Or the way Kanu turned games around with his brilliant talent. Somethings needs watching to understand. Watch some of Kanu's highlights on YouTube and you will see that such talents are hard to find. 1 Like |

I'm done with the issue as u have no solid answer as to why Dalung joined pinnick in squandering 42million on a chartered flight when they both know the NFF are "managing funds" *in pinnick's voice* And also to why Dalung, defender and voice of the dejected falcons, didn't bother checking on them in cameroun for a brief meeting or a "hi" after their la decima feat. He quickly ran back to catch up with his chartered flight with pinnick. **this was the testimony of the players themselves** Stop defending incompetence and double-faced nonsense abeg. I'm done here.

tbaba1234:team chemistry is important. I don't think he could have done a better job than Azubuike as at then, maybe he could have replaced Usman but playing him as a CB was a no go area, he may be versatile but it is not his best position and he might not have gelled well with Azubyuike if he replaced Usman. all in all I don't think it was a horrible decision by Siasia at all |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 6:19pm On Dec 09, 2016 |
Kog45: during the Olympics, Mikel played more as a second striker, hardly falling back to defend, the stats are there if you need then, so in such a case you need at least one combative midfielder not necessarily two midfielders who create from the back, Azubuike is such a player and Ndidi isn't really such and neither is Usman so the presence of Azubuike was vital. back to what you asked if Ndidi was there it would have forced Mikel to come back and join the defence a lot more than he did then thus depriving Sadiq Umar of any meaningful partnership up top and we all know how good Sadiq was against Germany when he had to play up top alone because of the absence of Azubuike. still confused? |

Mickael2: Which team chemistry? If we were looking for team chemistry then Awoniyi and others who were with the team for a long time should have been taken along. If not for the new additions like Sadiq Umar, Mikel, Shehu Abdullahi and Ekong, The team would have been disgraced. 3 Likes |

tbaba1234: didn't you notice how poor Sadiq was? lack of team chemistry, the team played to Mikel's strength so he as the chemistry teacher there. anyways, you need more chemistry your midfield than in any other part of your team. I am.glad he left Ndidi behind if not Ndidi's career might have stagnated dramatically |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by goldfish80(m): 6:36pm On Dec 09, 2016 |
tbaba1234:Congratulations to Ndidi. Its not small feat what he have achieved within the last 2 years. I also see Leon Bailey made the list. He's just 20, definitely another one to watch. Its refreshing seeing young guys doing so well. Then Virjil Van Dijk of Southampton, who for me is top 3 centre back in England with Koseilny and Toby Alderweit. Nice seeing Ndidi in such company. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 6:36pm On Dec 09, 2016 |
Mickael2: Sadiq was not poor, not in the least.. He scored a fair number of goals. He had one bad game but was not poor. If Sadiq was poor, what will you say of Awoniyi and Ajayi who could not score for months? Most of the new players in the team were regulars ... Ndidi would have improved Siasia's team. End of... What was Sincere Seth doing at CB? Ekong had to work overtime to save us. 3 Likes |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 6:49pm On Dec 09, 2016 |
tbaba1234: if you think that Sincere Seth was poor but Sadiq wasn't poor then that's double standards. Seth was ok, more than okay, but Ekong was better than him, that's just that. Sadiq was puss poor in the third place match and the semi-final, that's two important games, don't let the goals fool you. Ndidi might have improved our Olympic team but it might have affected his development at his club, that's my point |

Kog45:For me Kanu is the best player we have produced. The guy is simply phenomenonial. Sometimes stats don't tell the full story. For example, stats won't tell you how made the assist before the assist. Stats won't tell you who initiated a move which later snow balled into a goal. Kanu brings certain skill and composure through which the game flows. His technical level is out of this world. Players like Kanu, Berbatov, Pirlo, maybe Totti and lately Ozil are what I would call the endangered specie. Its unfortunate that football managers these days train players as athletes first before footballers. The focus on training these days is on speed, strength, shot. Skill, finness is an after thought, almost like an anormally these days. Players who play with grace and panache are getting kicked out of the game. Looking at stats won't tell you how good Kanu is. Watching him play would give any genuine football fan an instant orga$m. 2 Likes |

tbaba1234:things will change when Pinnick and Dalung get out. NFF most times is useless, and sometimes the Sports Ministry is useless, but this has to be the first time both the NFF and Ministry of Sports have collaborated in the art of uselessness. Say what you want, but if GEJ was still President, someone would have paid those girls by now. Buhari is just a useless eediot who doesn't even value women to begin with, so, how will he wade into such a tussle? I bet he doesn't even know what is going on 5 Likes 1 Share |

Africanfootball.com is your source. I knew u'll start asking for "proof". Go read up the news archives on the falcons issues on africanfootball and many other sites. It's no false news. In the name of defending dalung you call this false news. Abeg.. E don do.. I'm done. *Smh* As for your answer, sorry... Not cogent enough. That flight was chartered. And millions was readily put together and spent. So much for the cash-strapped NFF and the minister's words on the Govt not being ready to welcome "champions" as they weren't expecting victory. *smh* I've had enough of this Dalung/NFF issue. *back to the other side of the coin... The side that truly matters... Our players* BascoVanVeli: |

safarigirl: There are retired Nigerian Players and coaches who are still owed till this day. Let us not pretend that it was glorious in the past. And please, What made GEJ better? Did we not have bonus crisis during the Nations Cup and the world cup? Between 2011 and 2014, Oil sold for about $100, what is the state of our sports infrastructure?

tbaba1234: At least they had the President's ear and considering the raucous being made currently, GEJ would have answered them. I don't even like the GEJ, I'm sure you think I do, I don't care for either of the two fools, and I told anyone who cared to listen that Buhari would win, but I refuse to just act like it's the same thing because there is a clear difference. GEJ's government intervened lots of times in the crisis and even paid the bonuses countless times, enough proof is abailable to support that, but this government is useless and lackadaisical. I repeat, there is no football without politics, when you start viewing things from the point of the average man in Nigeria, you will understand. And what does oil price have to do with anything? Did a fall in oil prices reduce the salary of the National Assembly or stop Bubu from creating useless committees? Tbaba, you no go understand, so no need 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:azzin. When we won the AFCON in 2013, did GEJ not give the players National honours and even gave them land in choice parts of Abuja? If one of those players are in a financial constraint today, a land in Maitama or so will get you a hefty sum running into tens of millions. The U17 set of Kelechi and xo also got heavy support. When Keshi and the NFF had issues, GEJ and Abdullahi waded in and secured Keshi's job. Imagine the useless, incompetent NFF threatening to ban players and coaches for daring to fight for their just due, Imagine! Can such rubbish happen under GEJ? Those girls would have at least gotten $10,000 each and a nice plot of land in some highbrow area if they brought a RECORD 10th AWCON trophy to Nigeria, yet Buhari can't even host them for an hour...okay forget Bihari, can't Aisha herself host them in Aso Rock as a woman? Haba! These people in power have ridiculed our sports too much. Kuku no kill yourself for Nigeria 5 Likes 2 Shares |
