Friends, Countrymen, Nairalanders, OF SUPER EAGLES AND STANDARDIZATION.... What we must put into perspective is that Nigeria is a country blessed in abundance witht talents. The guys you see in our supposed "first team" are guys who were given opportunities over and over until they were able to stake a claim to their spots in the team. We also have to look at the coaching philosophy of our team handlers. For instance, if Gernot Rohr were to be the coach of the team that faced Athletico, there are certain players that probably wont feature. Also if he were to be the coach at the CHAN, he wouldnt have made some basic mistakes that Yusuf made because of approach. If you play a player in a position he isnt familiar with and decide to judge him based on that, then I am afraid the player already has failed before the quest even started. Who knew Shehu Abdulahi, Etebo,or Even Awaziem 3years ago? They had opportunities over and over and had time to work on their game. In my honest opinion, this issue of class is what is actually destroying Nigeria. Why would we be having teams A,B and C if its not to assess players that can be of use? There is the danger in the reasoning that you are not good enough and thats why you are in team B or Team C. Its very subtle. Almost unnoticeable. Why not rather blend as situation demands? For instance, I notice how we mention players and start talking about who is he gonna bench? But truly speaking, if we are gonna be devoid of sentiments, arent there better players in some positions in our current team? We probably would find it inconceivable that a player like Kelechi Iheanacho lost his spot and got dropped for a relatively unknown player even if the player were obviously stark better. My advice? Let us be careful to not be classifying our teams. Rather, get a good blend of experience, youthfulness and ability. I would like us to have a situation wherein regardless of any combination of starting 11 we choose, they are equally deadly. Thats a lot more desirable than having class. We all know how we be like in Nigeria. Somebody driving G- wagon looking down on someone with toyota yaris. This idea needs to stop! 1 Like |

Wilfred Ndidi joins Super Eagles full training in ‘couple of days’ – Official ![]() Wilfred Ndidi – Leicester City & Super Eagles star Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has recovered “faster than expected” and he will soon join the Super Eagles full training in Uyo. Ndidi is recovering from a hamstring injury and has been training on his own in Uyo since the World Cup camp opened officially on Tuesday. However, Super Eagles spokesman Toyin Ibitoye has said Ndidi’s recovery has been ahead of schedule and he will soon join the squad’s full training. “In a couple of days, he will join the full training,” Ibitoye disclosed. “He is running well without any pains, he has recovered faster than we expected. “He is now being loaded slowly and gradually to build his match fitness.” The team official said the friendlies against DR Congo (May 28) and England (June 2) may be coming a little too soon for the Leicester City star, but “he will be ready for the World Cup.” Source: http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2018/05/24/wilfred-ndidi-joins-super-eagles-full-training-in-couple-of-days-official/ Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 21 days 7 hours 2 mins to go |

Maradona on Sampaoli's tactics with Argentina ''I have many doubts, many doubts. Hopefully it goes well already in the first round. It's Iceland, Nigeria and Croatia, and it's not easy, it's not easy,'' Maradona said in an interview with Arab news outlet Abu Dhabi Sport. ''With a team that has no experience, that has no leader, that has no game plan ... It seems to me that we are risking a lot of prestige, that we win, and that we are throwing it away. ''I got news from Argentina that he wants to play 2-3-3-2. It's ridiculous, it was played in 1930.'' Source: ANS |

poseidonsaiz: Kelechi is 20 or thereabouts and playing in the 2nd tier of Dutch football. He is not the outstanding player in that league. He is forward player i.e. AM and has a very poor goal return. And you call that FABULOUSLY WELL. ![]() The Eerste Divisie is low, I rate it on the same level of league one if not lower. Considering that the Eredivisie is rated 14 in Europe and is the easiest league to score in within the top 20 leagues in Europe. I would say he is far from Fabulous. Arsenal is very far away from him now. He is using the SE to bolster his career otherwise he has no business being in the SE. Simply not good enough. There are too many players better who have not been given the opportunity to showcase thier talents. 1 Like |

chrisooblog: You are clearly misrepresenting the facts. Kelechi does not train with Ozil, Sanchez and Ramsey. He is playing in the Eerste Divisie 2nd tier of Dutch football. It is low and what's more concerning is he is not the stand out player in that low league. He is currently just an Arsenal player on paper, a mere speculative business transaction that may possibly. yield some dividend. Unfortunately there is a continous trend for reasons unknown to give former Nigerian youth players irrespective of current progression opportunities in the SE to the detriment of far better performing players. 1 Like |

Your bullcrap talk on K.Nwakali stinks. Discuss something else mister. You are clueless on this one. First of all, he is 19. Second of all, he is a midfielder... not a forward player. Plays AM and CM. And you can keep harping rubbish about him using the team to bolster his career. Did he invite himself? You really are giving this little kid a lot of credit... you think he is that influential to force himself on the coaching crew? You really talk bollocks for one who claims to know so much. Mister... take a bloody hike! Your pessimism and half-truths syndrome is stinking up the whole place. Rubbish. komekn: 3 Likes |

I'll advise we stop quoting those folks who come in and run the team down. Wishing the team some kind of ill luck. There is nothing anyone here can say that will change their mind. It's already made up. Giving them attention will only bring their fellows out of hiding and you guys won't like it when they flock in. They are many on nairaland. Front page topics testifies to this. Imagine some one saying Atletico Madrid will whip Nigeria 10-0 etc. Most of them are ignorant and they do not know. One was even asking why Yakubu was not on the team list and so on. So their is no way you can convince someone who does not believe in himself to believe others. It's very simple. 7 Likes |
