good you use "IF" the desire to put on those gloves again for Nigeria is still burning in his mind, and besides you can never say never,

as for technical committee, we have incompetent hands in that office in NFF,

but if we can give ROHR an AMUNIKE, or A SIA1, with AMUSA ADISA, or IKE SHORUNMU

then we are good to go

Do you understand what you are saying

That to play for Nigeria you must take abuse, denigration, accept nepotism, unprofessionalism, spend your money and if possible loose your career as well as your life.

I recall when Nigeria went to go and play Sudan in Khartoum and the plane chartered was in such obvious visual disrepair. That Enyeama broke down and cried even offered to hire another plane with thier own money. It was construed to be insubordination by the powers that be.

The way Aluko has been treated does not represent a good example and inspiration to attract players to play for the SE.

To accept unwholesome behaviour by officials is not sacrifice but acceptance of wrong. It's like saying because police always ask for bribe it is sacrifice to give it.

Sone Aluko stood up for uncompromising integrity and was penalised and pushed aside as a result. More disturbing is that nobody in position of authority said anything thier silence has been complicit consent.

At one stage I thought you resided here in Manchester but I know I am totally wrong. Your views reflect a warped mindset that accepts corruption as normal and should be accepted as part of national sacrifice.

Well I will not without apology and will rather pay the price for integrity.

Omo Naija to the core. Manchester Ke, Manchester ni.

My mindset is wrapped with the challenges of Nigerian football. I remember reading of John Obuh feeding his boys with cabin biscuits and water in preparation for the U17. Or Manu Garba's boys walking long distances to charge their phones and fetch water. That our jersey is not easy streets. It is even better now. Sometimes they go years without allowances.

zicky:
Yea we can give excuse for ndidi or Agu that they are Rookie or no national team experience bt wat can we say for Onazi.
Guy that match pain me, if we had lose to libya or one other small nation, I won't feel this much pain.

TheGoodJoe:


Do your self a favor and watch the game. Tell me Onazi did not give forward passes and none of them was accurate.

zicky:
Don't misunderstand me, you said Ndidi and Etebo was poor and I say Onazi was not better, hw will I say any of our player had a good game after losing 2-0 at home to SA, they all had a bad game bt Onazi take more of the blame. To who much is given much is expected.

Come on Collin. The old Center forward. Really? We have seen teams do well without the old center forward style of play and maybe you are yet to notice that playing an old center forward requires a team reducing building from the back and relying on long balls.

That is defending deep and lounging the ball to a huge man to hold and distribute it.

This is more of a call in change of style and the question is that, are you sure the Ideye and Ighalo can offer more than we have at our disposal?

If that is the case, bring them to camp, screen and drill. If they come up tops, they have my nod but if they do not beat Osimhen in camp, it is a disservice to ourselves dropping a promising youngster with huge talent and better quality for old legs.

The press have destroyed a lot of progress in Nigerian football with their rigorous calls for old legs and shortsightedness. Rohr has moved the team forward in a short time. Give the man time to work before tearing down his structure.

TheGoodJoe:


Yes. What some of this men complain as being maltreated is something that comes normal with the team. Remember during the CHAN Oliseh handled and he had to use his own money to feed the team during the competition. When Peterside Idah visited the team, Oliseh asked him for money for the team.

These guys sacrifice. We do not have a healthy football system. That is why the likes of Okwaraji, Keshi and co. are seen as more than footballers. Remember Siasia meeting Odili and Alameiseigha to raise money for the U20 team. If the players start listing the sacrifices they go through to wear our jersey, you will shiver.

In America, the Olympic team got stranded after a buglar stole Siasia's credit cards. That was before the arrival of Mikel. Is it selection challenges? Martins was on fire, Yakubu was missing and Martins will still jump at an opportunity to play. Even after Keshi refused to call him, Martins still wanted to play.

I hope Aluko gets a call up. The Super Eagles will benefit from his talent. I am just pointing out that the reality on ground needs players that will sacrifice a lot for the team.

BascoVanVeli:


This is the same reason Awaziem started.

BascoVanVeli:


u go watch the game again and stop spreading fake news. Off the top off my head I remember a 30 yarder he put on Moses Simon which Khune ended up tipping for a corner.

I never criticised Onazi's long balls to the wings. Those are not final balls. Understand the point before running round the thread without clothes.

Onazi made good long balls to the wings but I still have a problem with that because that is not the shield's role. The shield's role is mostly to make simple passes. Although once in a while he can unleash the long balls but they should come from deep. This was not the case with Onazi.

My criticism comes from his final through balls to Iheanacho.

Gerrit?

I have no problem with Awaziem starting. Our midfield lost shape, coupled with Echiejile forgetting his defensive duties. In a better organized defensive set up, he will excel. I have no doubt about it.

Yes we need players that love to play for Nigeria. Because when problems come players are the first that can be affected psychologically. Well the game at hand is Cameroon. Many of us will resume the arguments once again as regards player selection. In football, 1+1 is hardly 2. Which is why we have to take every situation differently. We lost the South Africa game for many reasons than one or just two. I'm really hoping that Rohr will be more tactical going forward. And will do LOTS of studying the opponent.

I just watched the Senegal-Nigeria friendly again, because I think that match is one we have to look at in planning to play Cameroon. Football is a science. Your best players will not necessarily play well in every match they feature. Cameroon is a very physical side. they are big and also robust. They can convert half chances in forwards like Vincent Abubakar. Why your favorite player could be very good in his own right, he may be reduced to nothing against an opponent like Cameroon.

I think we have put so much weight on players like Iheanacho and Iwobi prematurely. Let's be realistic to realize that these players have not FULLY established themselves in Europe with lots of TOP games under their belt. While they have a very bright future, they are not reliable starters especially against Cameroon.

Let's continue the debate constructively with our next opponent in mind devoid of favoritism.

Looks like our man could end up in the championship. The whole Arsenal gist was just a complete agent transfer poppycock

Championship club rival West Ham for Nigerian forward by tabling £ 7 .5 million bid

Onyekuru was initially linked with Arsenal much earlier this summer but it soon emerged no deal was likely. West Ham have since expressed their interest and Onyekuru is believed to favour a move to the Hammers. However with news that ambitious Birmingham have submitted the largest bid could see him playing his football under Harry Redknapp next season.
Slaven Bilic’s side have been told that the player won’t be sold for less than £7.87million. This would also aid the chances of him receiving a work permit to play his football overseas as well. As mentioned, no club has bid more than Birmingham at this moment in time but the Championship club are certainly wary of breaking any Financial Fair Play regulations.
The player himself is currently spending time with his family but was hoping to soon fly over to discuss a move to West Ham. News of a new club entering the market, and a surprising one in Birmingham, does certainly put a spanner in the works. He netted 20 goals last season in the Belgian top flight, leading to many scouts delivering reports of high praise. Redknapp would love to add the player to his squad, and is already hopeful of luring John Terry to St Andrews following his release from Chelsea too.

Belgium Ahead Of Nigeria In Race For FC Utrecht Striker, Who Contributed To 42 Goals Last Season

Belgium Ahead Of Nigeria In Race For FC Utrecht Striker, Who Contributed To 42 Goals Last Season
The Royal Belgian Football Association are thought to be in pole position ahead of their Nigerian counterparts in the race to secure the international future of highly-rated FC Utrecht goal machine Cyriel Dessers.

The striker was born in Leuven, Belgium 22 years ago to a Flemish father Herwig and a Nigerian mom Sophie.

Dessers has trained with Belgium's U21 national team and was close to making his debut in a European U21 Championship qualifier against Moldova in 2015, but did not come off the bench eventually.

In a recent interview with the Dutch press, he admitted that he has never stepped his foot in Nigeria, but hopes to do so in the very near future.

''I feel Belgian. At the same time I accept my roots, because you can not forget where your blood comes from,'' Dessers told bndestem.nl.

''I have been on holiday several times in Africa, but never in Nigeria. That's on my list.''

Last season, Cyriel Dessers contributed to 42 goals (29 goals, 13 assists), which assisted NAC Breda secure promotion to the Eredivisie, and this earned him a transfer to FC Utrecht.

Prior to his move to the Netherlands, he represented Belgian clubs OH Leuven and Lokeren.

BascoVanVeli:


Mr Politician u said forward pass. Now u want to blame Onazi for a pass that was stopped by what the commentator called a goal saving interception. He dispossessed his man and placed a good pass to Nacho, we were just unfortunate that the ball didn't go through.

Kog45:
Don't mind them,they just want to turn eagles to rookies team,no wonder Porto B defender manned d defence

I just finished watching d match again,Rohr goofed big time on Awaziem,looking at first goal,i laughed in greek,no wonder Awaziem fans here keep on blaming non composed Akpeyi whereas Awaziem was too amateurish in his reaction to d cross that led to first goal.

I'm not here to blame d young man but truth need to be told d guy lack d class for now and looking at d second goal,keeper needed to rush out,almost 30 yards with no defender at glance,one on one situation and guys here are still trying to shed their favorite players from blame,some even said Akpeyi should have fouled d guy and got red card may be d game would have turned in favor of Nigeria,10 against 11 and one goal down,funny and arrogant analyzer.

Funny enough against Cameroon,some are agitating for Osimeh to lead attack,pls on what criteria,Rohr boy Abi even Iheanacho is on hot seat now,Rohr knows what is at stake,no need to gamble on any player.

BascoVanVeli:


I already said that Echiejile went missing on the first goal but Awaziem had no business missing that ball.
