The opening line in the article on the first link really made me laugh. The tone sounded like the writer was lamenting

---

"England unveiled their new kit on Wednesday ahead of the summer’s World Cup in Russia.

And just like the team under manager Gareth Southgate, sports manufacturer Nike have played it safe – and a little boring if the truth be told"

Sunday Olishe i knew had egoism issue,very arrogant,hghly temperamental and can go haywire anytime.

Sunday Olishe disciplinary record not too good,i remember he was suspended by his Club Bochum in Bundesliga for headbutt his teammate.

He had serious issue with Samson Siasia during training prior to Italy match and Siasia was axed from starting lineup but this led to a divide house cos some players were not happy with Westerhoff's decision for axing Siasia and left Olishe free.

This really affected the team spirits and contributed to our ouster in 2nd round cos Westerhoff refused to bring Siasia in after Amokachie got injured due to that incident.

He had issue with one of his teammate,may be Victor Okechukwu Agali during 2002 afcon,they needed to be separated by teammates.

Also had issue with honourable sports minister by walking the man out during afcon 2002,this singular act led to the disbandment of the team and was the genesis of our poor outing at 2002 WC.

He also had issue with former Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama forcing him to retire from the team and Emma Emenike too resigned from the team with speculations that he had issue with Olishe.

Boss Joseph1013, Sir Terzurum5, Sir Orkpekyandega, Chief Icon4s.... all other monikers and protocols duly recognised.

I think with the appointment of our youth and cadet team coaches, we need to create new threads for them to follow up on news about them separately from the Super Eagles. This has always been the trend... what do you suggest? Normally it is Joseph1013 who handles and creates all threads on our under age sides.... so what do you guys think? I am dropping this here because none ahead of the 2019 Tournaments have been created just yet.

Oliseh's statement:

Kog45:
My man is not about hype,Dele Ali is damn good.I was in your shoe before thinking the guy was over hype but later realized that the guy worth it.

I know what you expect is Dele Ali that do the flicks, dribble two three players on a row,show classical movement, No Ali that i later know is a simple footballer who understand the game very well,he was well schooled about the game.He knows when to dribble,when to pass and when to run into space,so he delivered most of the time.

It takes third eyes or those who really understand the rudiments of modern day football to appreciate Ali but sometimes his performance is confusing,like yesterday match he did what coach expected him to do.

I think Real Madrid fans will never forget him,he made football so simple and does his things with ease.

Icon79:
Wow. Oliseh is already accusing the football of a crime? Hmmm.

Let's hope that he hasn't gotten himself blacklisted from coaching anywhere in Europe or even getting sued sef.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 120 days 7mins to go

AIG07:
Throughout the World Cup qualifiers, the Super Eagles scored 12goals across 6matches averaging 2goals per match which is an impressive stat putting in mind the strength of the opponents they faced and going on to concede 4goals in total.

Of the 12goals scored, only 1 was scored via setpiece(corner kick) while the rest came from open play. The team conceded 4goals: 2 from open play and 2 from spotkick(resulting from avoidable goalkeeping errors). This has gone to show how strong our line of defence was against the top, strong and physical african sides.

With Rohr, looking forward to strengthen his defence and finding a reliable and permanent solution to the ever unconvincing goalkeeping department, I see the team putting off any forms of attack from the open play.

In the light of this, Eagles opponents might have to exploit other means to break the Eagles' wall and get the desired points/results. One of these means will definitely be SET-PIECES.

Eagles' group stage opponents Croatia, Iceland and Argentina all boast of world class and deadly dead ball specialists. These opponents, might decide to draw fouls out of our boys in dangerous areas to capitalise on our team's weakness-SET PIECE DEFENDING.

There is therefore need for us to settle and fix our inabilities to convert and defend setpieces before
we kick the first ball at the mundial.

A very good left and right setpiece takers who have the ability of weeping deadly balls into the 18yard boxes from left and right sides of the pitch. These players should be our notable takers in the upcoming friendlies so as to enable them to master the act before World cup proper.

*my suggestions*
Victor Moses
Simon Moses
Kelechi Iheanacho.

So we have to load up even the cadet squad with these many foreign based players? For what??
What then are we paying you for? To gather some already made players??

Joebie:
I think the list is premature. Based on our practice in the past, most of the preparation/qualifiers will be executed by home based players for obvious reasons. OGN of course needs to put out some news. No doubt we can be confident that we will qualify, and we can debate on the list for the 2019 U20 world cup now if we want to.

As regards the thread, I will always give my support/presence whenever it's created.

Mujtahida:

We just have to win that match. We cannot set small targets. This is not the easy group of 2014 where we started with a draw and still scaled through to the second round.

EmmGee:

well maybe i need to watch more of his games.
but judging by what i saw yesterday, i saw a player who lacked ideas.
But I'll definitely keep an eye out for him and be objective.

I really don't rate players that do flicks or showboat.

That's why I'll pick asensio over isco, de bruyne over pogba

Humility017:


kelechi and Moses Simon should be left wit our set pieces....except penalty kicks..thay should be left to V. moses
Moses have not really impress me wit the few ones he has been left wit...

Icon79:
That's a very good point you raised there, AIG. Any good counter attack team must be deadly at set pieces. Right now, I will pick:

VicMo
KC Iheanacho
John Obi Mikel
Eddy Onazi, and
W. Ndidi

In that particular order....

it is the dragging of the conflict that tire me.

Supernerd has been wailing everywhere because somebody he doesn't even know insulted his mother in a faceless forum. My mother has been dead for over ten years, I get into disagreements at times and pesin wey no know go dey insult her, e no concern me. It is not that serious.

There is nothing worse than being stubborn and adamant. It's a disgusting trait, even me, bad as I be, I cannot comman be dragging last year matter with anybody

We are grown folks I assume.. if someone resorts to abusing my parents from football arguments, I see it as weakness on the person’s part. I will actually find it funny. Personally, I don’t get hurt by that.. “your papa” “your mama” — that’s what’s kids do. It doesn’t carry any weight. It’s childush to abuse one’s parent as well as to be so hurt when someone abuses ur parent. I wonder why u guys keep whining over this for days. We are adults. Are we this soft?

MetalJigsaw:
CSKA Moscow is not a small club either. The Russian league is one of the top in Europe. And Musa is not the first and only highly rated player to have a gloomy spell in England ( And he played for not more than one club)
