How is this FIFA ranking calculated? Nigeria dropping 3 spots in Africa is ridiculous after drawing Algeria away? While Cameroon moved up for drawing Zambia away |

junnyjake:Uzoho got his national team opportunity cos he kept in two LA liga matches not cos he was doung well in division 3,meaning he need to force his way back into contention for Deportivo number 1. I believe he can do it,division 3 might be good for his age but not good for national team. Remember Alampasu was in division 3 last season and cos of that we believe he was not good enough to keep for Eagles. I see Uzoho as potential eagles number 1 but keeping in div 3 w not help him,LA liga 2 should be enough for him to develop as eagles number 1 if he can get a loan deal. |

komekn:'New pretenders '? Why the tone of derogation? Imagine, imagine. Why is he not there? Abeggi. The Argentines were beaten both technically and on the energy levels. Do you know where that energy comes from? It comes from the sheer youthfulness of the team. Rohr has an unmistakable plan to reduce the average age of the team. In fact he was running high and solo with that intention before the game against SA gave him course to have a rethink. With Mikel, Musa, Moses, Onazi, Echiejile and Omeruo there's ample experience in the team. Rohr's vision is forward. He's been testing young players. Have you seen him test them papi Martins and co? Can't you see the signs? The man is thinking about the future. The only old guard that stands a chance is Enyeama. Martins and co will not even get a look in. I don tell you. That's how you spoke condescendingly of Ebuehi while speaking high of Aina. Ebuehi gets on the pitch and shows he's quality. Please don't call this young ones 'new pretenders'. I know that the Martins you hanker so much after became our forward when he was young. The young pretenders qualified us for the World Cup. Give them that respect. They more than deserve it. 10 Likes |

Friends, Countrymen, Nairalanders...... It is really an amazing year. Nigeria has qualified once again for the world cup. Kudos to the boys, the coaching crew and the NFF....... However I am not too impressed with folks that keep scaring us with seeding and all. First of all, whatever group Nigeria gets seeded to, is the right group to qualify from. Let us understand one fact that there is no easy group. Have we ever stopped to ask ourselves how qualified countries managed to qualify? If we could come out of the group that was termed "group of death" with a game to spare, then quite frankly, anything is possible if and only if we have faith. I see some folks say they want Iceland, poland, and Saudi in our group. I must say they are not easy as well. And frankly all the supposed big teams can wobble and fumble at any given time. It happened in Korea Japan 2002 World cup, with teams like france, Argentina and the likes failin to progress fro the group stages. Its a case of who wants it the most and what are you willing to do to get what you want....what we need to do is to start preparing for the world cup. That is the part that is of utmost importance. OUR PART!!! We have no control over who gets into our group but we do have control over the quality of players we are fielding per time @ the world cup as well as our preparedness. End of story! So in my opinion, let Nigeria field her best legs, not sentimental legs. Whoever doesnt make the cut should not feel bad. There can only be 23 players at the tournament proper. We should perfect all strategies, game plans, formations, and personnels needed. We should start sizing up opponents as soon as the draws are made, and thoroughly look at the coaches of our opponents to know their mind set... we should analyse our team from a 3rd party perspective and audit each department of our team. Find out the lapses and correct them asap. And this is why a forum like Nairaland is important. Here we look at all the team flaws whether glaring or obscured. As it is said, One cannot audit a process that you are part of, the coaching crew needs to pay attention to concerns raised here. Quality friendlies should also do some trick. Wishing Super Eagles the best in Russia! I hope we win........ 5 Likes |

Questence: How many of his games have you watched to make that conclusion. He's still 21 and I'm sure he'd mature to a special player if he puts his mind to it. This is the first time I'm seeing this moniker here. You officially welcome to the thread. |

Kog45:What a pity if only Mel had not been sacked, what makes the situation worse is that the current goalkeeper is not as good as uzoho all they needed to do was show a little more faith since he handed himself well in his debut. How can this amount of talent that is suitable for a whole Nigeria NT already, how can that player be reduced to 3rd division matches. Those Sparniads don't even give a shit about Africans. Hopefully he gets a loan in January. 4 Likes |

Kog45: My fear is that his new coach might not be as courageous to as the former one who had faith in him. I say we start looking elsewhere, Emmanuel Daniels is a good keeper, my problem with him is his height and he's not getting games presently, we should see more of Ajiboye in the CHAN next Month. But Ezenwa is the captain of that team. see yawa. Modified: Mind you, The coach is not interested in making decisions that would benefit a certain national team, as there are players from other countries as well. |

forgiveness:You misunderstood his point. He's not saying England has no great players. He's saying for all the great players England has they have never had a great team because of constant change. So all your other talk about champions league are by the way yarns. His emphasis is on the team rather than on players. Having the best players does not necessarily mean having the best team. He is saying it's time for us to optimise what we have and not throw it away just because we want to go with the best. If we follow you and komekn we will have brand new team to go to Russia full of players like Solanke, Ajagun, Azeez, Ryan Sanusi, Onomah, Aneke, Seyi Ojo, Kayode, Iorfa, Thiago Ilori. And this is precisely what cost us in 2002 and 2014 which we took note to warn the NFF about. Now is the time for cohesion and blending. Pata pata baring injury we would bring in four or five players into the team for the WC. Our football stretches beyond 2018.They will get their chance post 2018. 4 Likes |

forgiveness: Here you are my friend.... Reeling out names like a cinema spool. Question is what have these players you mentioned achieved internationally? I dare say were it not for EPL and media hype, they would not hamd made it big. If you dont believe me, bring Wayne Rooney over to shootin stars and lets see his magic at taking them from lower tier league to upper level. While we hope for the best, fact is the best may not entirely be in England, so please yall need to stop this stuff about hyping players. There are thousands that are yet to be doscovered, playing their game quietly. With what we have in the national team right now, balance and understanding is paramount to us and not some 3Lions rejects. You also mentioned that we should name top 5 players in the super eagles and that it would revolve around EPL. The truth is its all about perspectives and opinions. One man's meat is another man's poison. I for one dont like Victor Moses. Quality or not. Oya na? Come and fight me here! What if I list my 5 and your supposed EPL super stars are nowhere to be found? Thank God for TV coverage of EPL where we watch all of them week in, week out. But still that doesnt translate them to the best in the world. We have to understand that it is how the coach chose to deploy them that made things happen. We have watched matches where EPL super eagles stars messed up big. I really wish you didnt get into this. If it were Komekn that said all the points you raised, I wouldnt have responded. That should tell you something.... in other words, I enjoy your discourses but lately you are deviating. I am tempted to even say maybe you are doing this just to rile some folks up. . . Try keepin it real bruh! Leave sentiments out of your discussions. Bless up!!! 4 Likes |

MetalJigsaw: I don't know what your beef is with that young man. He had a breakthrough season last year contributing 42 goals to his team to get them promoted to the 1st division. He's moved to a bigger club that are no relegation candidates, and he's gotten 8 goals already, is it until he plays for Ajax or Fayenord before you see him enough to hype. He plays for according to you "not a better club" and he's shining there, do you think he'd fail in a bigger club when he eventually moves. FC Utrecht are a better team than one he played before, now he's out there and his visibility has increased, don't be surprised if he gets another big money move, because this is no rocket science, we've seen players play in teams that tells nothing about their qualities. 1 Like |
