How about converting Wizkid to a goal keeper.

He is a short devil and can’t touch the upright bar even if he jumps on a trampoline but he can sing for the opponents who will forget they wanted to score against him. They let him pick the ball up pass to Ekong, Balogun or even Eze Who wouldn’t need to stress himself head butting mandzukic or getting red cards karating Aguero etc.

...and win win for everybody...Wizzy sings, opponents dances, Eagles scores and wins, Nigerians happy, gets distracted, forgets Buhari, herdsmen till after the World Cup.

Taliban:


England vs Cameron 1990 world cup quarter finals. red cards and two penalties.
Nigeria vs Argentina 1994 world cup, dubious calls by referee.
Nigeria vs Italy 1994, goal bound yekini pulled down by the last man in defence yet no red card given.

Please please dont mention Nigeria vs Italy 1994 again - it brought back to many pain memories

gamaliel9:
consistency...lets watch Etebo,Imo Ezekiel,and possibly Emenike tonight in Las Palmas vs A. Bilboa

Not sure if emenike will play tonight coach said he need to drop some kilos,as for imoh Ezekiel the deal is yet to be finalized,so you can only watch etebo

So FIFA actually considered CHAN a friendly played between countries and not a competitive game. See as Naija dey free fall from 651 to 582 chaii we fit don reach 60th by now.

Still on the world cup kit...

My FIFA ranking predictor tells me we will remain 51st with 625 points..

strangely still Morocco who won the tournament will drop to 43rd... I guess its because they drew with Sudan...

6th in Africa and 51st in the world

You can't use that single scenario of scoring on his debut. Didn't he do same against Man City? And he's still out on loan? You don't rate Nacho but he also scored for City on his debut. Why are u notpraising him based on that?

komekn:


Hope is being expressed because they have moved from mere potential to quality proven players who are on the ascendancy.

Every player has potential proving it is another matter with consistent continous top class performances is the issue.

With regards to SE selection for what you call the innit boys of which some may speak more Nigerian languages than you do. It should be about perfomance first then the politics of selection comes in for boys who will NEVER pay settlement fees.

There are no doubters assessment is not based on sentiment. Prove your ability that's all its very simple.

Lookman played his first game in the Bundesliga after coming on for barely 10 minutes and impacted the game and scored.

Batshuayi a bit player at Chelsea comes on in the Bundesliga for Borussia and almost scores a hattrick. Again this highlights the quality of the EPL. But then I am biased I guess.

That lemon green/black/white Jersey looks like it was designed by Mikel's daughters

I don't know why it requires a lady to point it out that that Jersey is too flamboyant and childish.

For a woman to say such and men are saying they like it. Well then......... I comment my reserve.

I thought Finidi was rumoured to have been offered one of the youths jobs?

On Salisu, contrary to what peeps here are saying I trust him to deliver the goods.

A man that carried that very poor team all the way to the final needs commendation. Thank God there is an age restriction to this one so no imposing of Papa Alli, Osas Okoro and co on us.

What else can we do now but to support him.

All eyes are on the WC now. Let us face it. But after the world cup I suggest we revisit that youth players thread. The Olympic games are 2 years away meaning only players who would be 21 this year and less would be eligible. We need to focus on those players especially the ones with quality. Our comments here go places. Let us join Salisu and other youth coaches to unravel the talents that would wear our colors in the next youth competitions.

Just a quick one: Do you know Chidozie Awaziem, Victor Osimhen, Kingsley Michael, Taiwo Awoniyi, Musa Yahaya, Nura Abdulahi, Sincere Seth, Kelechi Nwakali, Samuel Chukwueze, Sadiq Umar, Ifeanyi Mathew, Steven Odey, Sunday Faleye, Moses Eneji, Ikouwem, Francis Uzoho, Maduka Okoye,and many more are all eligible to play in the next Olympics? We just need the right selection and that team would be explosive.

I love the jersey thoor

Taliban:

Nice write up, thanks a lot. But am surprised you didn't see any Thunder Baloguns match, didn't you like football at that time.

many of us didn't watch him play
We all reads and hear about him as kids
you are talking about someone that starts playing for the red devils ( now super eagles) as far back as 1949
also only a few people owns the black and white TV back then

lol....the Jersey isn't all that bad, it wholly depends on your style really. I'm just not into the loud and bold designs, haven't really imagined it looking good, but I guess it would work for some

I would get the green one for myself, if I have to get the colourful jersey, it would be for my kid bro

The tacklr on onazi should be straight red.

I agreed with you on salisu Yusuf

I am only concerned with the super eagles performance at the world cup

Argentina, Croatia and Iceland will not be in Russia to admire our jersey

I once questioned, grade A doesn’t necessarily mean 3 points

Super Eagles World Cup warm-up against Chile off



The Super Eagles will no longer play a World Cup warm-up against South American champions Chile because coach Gernot Rohr said it will be too close to the tournament and he is therefore apprehensive of players getting injured in such a game.

NFF bosses had claimed the Eagles will take on Chile in their last friendly on June 9 during their training camp in Austria.
An official has now said the game has been called off at the instance of Rohr, who is worried of any injuries to key stars just before the World Cup kicks off on June 14.

SCORENigeria had also earlier hinted that the Chile friendly was in danger and fellow World Cup qualifiers Morocco may now be the team to test the readiness of Nigeria for the Mundial.


The Eagles confirmed World Cup warm-up games are – vs Poland (March 23), vs Serbia (March 27), vs DRC (May 28) and vs England (June 2) and vs Czech Republic (June 6).

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 124 days 22hours to go

Icon4s:


Good one Sire.

On John Chiedozie, I first knew him as the Lifebuoy soap boy before I knew he was a Green Eagles player. " This is John Chidozi *in Oyinbo accent* (That advert should be on youtube).Though a fringe player due to the quality of wingers we had in the team then (Odegbami and Adokiye).

I have said it before that most of our players of the 70s and 80s up to early 90s were greatly underrated and undervalued. If players like Segun Odegbami, Adokiye, Christian Chukwu, and Muda Lawal were to be playing today they would be in the best clubs in Europe. They would easily walk into the present Super Eagles.

On your comparison of Muda Lawal with Wilfred Ndidi, I still give it to Muda. Ndidi has yet to achieve close to what Muda achieved even in his early years in the Eagles. The player that would come close to Muda is Oliseh. But you are right about Oliseh being of the modern era. Most of Yekini's goals came from Oliseh's through passes. I have not seen Ndidi doing that yet. Ndidi is more of a tackler/blocker, not surprising as he started off as a CB. If Ndidi can improve on his long passes, then he will turn out about our best DM.

On Salako and John Fashanu, reminds me of those days when we were practically kneeling down for them to switch allegiance to Nigeria.

Top notch analysis from you especially remembering those market value figures. Tuale baba.

One more thing, you remember that story of "Thunder Balogun remember your left leggg!!!!!". Loz!!!!

Respect Chief icon4s the only Father of TheSuperNerd.

Yes you are right players like Segun Odegbami, Adokiye Aimesemeika,Muda Lawal,Christian Chuckwu would walked into starting line up of this present team and even US 94 players would find it tough to bench them and coach too would find it difficult to decide,pls check it out

Segun Odegbami vs Finidi George

Adokiye Aimesemeika vs Emmanuel Amuneke

Muda Lawal vs Sunday Olishe

Christian Chuckwu vs Uche Okechukwu/Chidi Nwanu.

Yes Ndidi still has a milestones to climb to be equal to Muda Lawal and Sunday Olishe but he has the potential.

***Oga icon4s i made a comment sometimes ago and i mentioned that Nigeria vs Tunisia match was 1978 WC qualifier(Odiye scored Nigeria)but you said it was1982 WC qualifier which i accepted

But going through Segun Odegbami's preview of yet to be launched book he said it was 1978 WC qualifier and that nobody should blame Odiye but him for the loss.
