Just the way joe hart disgraced him self at Torino

Just the way Reece oxford could not get game time at mochenglabach

Just the way ravel Morrison flopped at lazio

Why will batshuayi make it at Chelsea when he was a bench warmer ? Or na back of tv you dey watch,batshuayi that struggle for game time under conte and for your information Chelsea is a better club then Dortmund.

Check the way Spanish players tear the Epl apart.

When last did the Epl win the champions league ?

5 club from the Epl is at the last 16 and 3 could not make the semi final what a disgrace.

The last time I check Everton came last in their Europa league group they could not even beat clubs from Czech Republic

Lol oboy easy

different kind of people dey this thread

silly man wetin u mean?

Lol... as in eh... Now I am more interested in Morocco's group... Let the World cup begin abeg...

Meanwhile, I am following news of events following the surprise sack and it is being circulated or rumored that four Madrid players and a non-madrid player already knew about Lopetegui's appointment at Madrid... The four Madrid players were said to have done their best to keep things low key but loooolll... E be like say The non-madrid player spilled it early kinda... Hahahahaha... Many eyes are turning to Pique... Hahahahahaha... Ofcos this may be untrue but most certainly this will disrupt some team harmony in the Spanish camp... Really wanna see how fast they come back from this.

asha80:
morocco has enough chances now..this will affect spain no matter how small

age argument ti take over

Let Spain sack all deir coaching crew, leaving d team alone,dey will still make it to d round of 16 at least

lexyman:



the attitude of the Spaniard team is unprofessional and it can cause a distraction in the team ... is JUST LIKE SAYING a MADRID MANAGER COACHING Barcelona


but the truth is who can reject Madrid offer I hope this move turn out to favour spain ... and they re playing against their arch rival ( CR7) i mean portugal

Turn out to favor Spain or to favor Spain's rivals you mean? Spain is still among the favorites but with this sack, the psychology and atmosphere of the team is a concern now.... Would really love to see their reaction on-field...

And yeah... The madird-barca rivalry and politics kinda extends even into the national team... Somehow Spain has been able to manage it well but now with this... Well... Shaw... See what the Spanish FA President said..


"Spanish FA president, Luis Rubiales:

“Lopetegui’s been a great coach, but we can’t accept this behaviour. This has been done without our knowledge. The FA cannot be left outside the negotiation of one of its employees and find out just 5 mins before a public announcement.”

“What has happened with Lopetegui has forced us to make this decision (of sacking him). He has done great things but now we wish him luck for the future.”

Russia 2018 General Titbits


As you already know, Lopetegui has been sacked due to his Madrid move being announced just days to their first game and according to the Spanish FA presido, "without the knowledge of the Spanish FA"



Trust the twitter news lords to feast on this and come up with crazy scenarios.... Looollll



Agent: "They're considering experienced managers to replace Lopetegui."

Moyes: "Yep."

Agent: "Candidates need to have managed in Spain."

Moyes: "Si."

Agent: "They also need to have a full knowledge of Spanish."

Moyes: "That's me, or Illarramendi, as they say in Spain."

Sacking that coach is quite commendeable. Spain aint childs play. The coach totally disrespected them. How can a madrid coach manage spanish national team

Abeggi dey dont need him

Yep for the Super Eagles but also as regards the World cup... We would cover other teams only in titbits but our main focus is on the Super Eagles and her journey in Putin land.

So yes Sir, for the most parts You and your friend are in the right place..... Or Didn't you see the name of the thread with Russia 2018 in it?


So hop right in... Sit back, take in the environment around here.... and most importantly relax..

Sad day for African Football... #IstandwithMorrocco

hmmm chaos in spain ..seems they have sacked their coach on the eve of the world cup https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/1006839528735301632

With or without the coach, Spain wouldn't have done much anyway. They are back to the bland Spain that flattered to deceive in the early 90s/2000s.

Already responded to your buddy, Sir Slowpoison... But lemme add that for each game of the World cup, some threads would be created for some and moved to front page, so those games can be followed either in those FP threads or here...

The major difference between those FP match threads and this one is that this, right here, is "continuous"

And I know of no other World cup thread having discussions on all teams.. At least for now.... But we try to give other teams a mention as we go along while focusing on the Nigerian team majorly.

is true na, nobody here likes Echiejile but no other better option for now. i remember when George abey was our undisputed right back even though he was not that wonderful and plays in the 3rd or 4th league in England

Hasty generalization.

He's been okay for us so far.

Can't we pull a Spain too? Let's sack Baba Rohr and allow Salisu Yusuf to take over the team.

andrew444:


If mikel obi senior onazi for real age na small gap

this man sef

Aina when dey run like old papa. If na iheanacho now dem go talk say he be 60

Certitude:

Oga, the 2011 set never even made CAF. That was when the MRI was made compulsory. Aina looks old facially and y'all believe his real age cause he is FB. Even Echiejile no even get old face sef.

you think so?

Messi thought about Nigeria


“We don’t know so much about Nigeria but the African teams are normally compact, tough and strong. So it will be no walkover.”

TheSuperNerd:
Ekong is also a good ball passer. This is why he has functioned well in that role for the team in a back three. Balogun can do it too of course. Both are capable in the middle. Just that Ekong's speed is also key. He is much faster than Balogun.

Of all our CBs, Omeruo remains the best ball passer

Good then... USA, Canada, Mexico... Nice continent to go conquer the world "a second time"...

Even our first golden generation were first showcased to the world in the north American continent...

#USCAMEX, see you after 2022's fairy tale triumph.

Mickael2:



this man sef

Lol

Omeruo is a fine ball player/passer too no doubt. I think it would have to be between him and Balogun for the best but Ekong is not far behind.

somehow:


Of all our CBs, Omeruo remains the best ball passer

We thank God
