Mickael2: Now i see why you talk down on our present team so much Initially i thought it was hate... I thought you were just a naturally vile critic, an agent who just wished us badluck because your favorite player didn't make the team. But now i know better, you so much love Nigerian football and by extension African football too You want us to grow beyond this level, to dominate and rule the world in football especially considering how far we have come Unfortunately, things have not turned out the way you expected. We are still mediocre at best, and to make matters worse, we as fans are celebrating this mediocrity... Lolz.. So it annoys you... It gets you riled up so bad that the team you love so much can't give you the kind of performance you desire from them... Therefore You can't even sit to watch them play.... Seeing them running around like headless chickens in direct contrast to how you expect them to play or perform is a pain in your ass! You have lovingly criticized them so much without change or results that now you resent them. They dashed all hope of yours. It pains you so much that you can't watch them play 'cos its gonna be the same old story. Now they have ruined your Saturday evenings Anyways, i believe you have wished in your silent corner for the day our results will change. You probably longed for such a day. So let me tell you this bro Look no further as soon enough, the tides will change and our boiz will in a not distant time from now give you the results or display you seek for. I so much in believe that 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: First of all, from what I deduced from your write up, is that, the reason Europe has won more world cup has to do with the fact that global football is tailored to suit the style, the character and the nature of the Europeans, and that Africans have to break away from this European model of football, if at all we want to win the trophy. If this is so, I will agree with you on the fact that football has been tailored to suit the style of the European but I don't agree that this style has failed us because this same European style won us the Olympics, the AFCON, took us to the finals of the U20 and even recently won us the U17 World cup twice (Manu Garba & Amuneke tiki taka football). The reason African have not really done well using Nigeria as a case study has to do with lack of winning mentality, ego among players, biased selection of players, consistency (which has to do life span of Nigerian players), disunity and the fact that Nigerian players are not in the best clubs in the world. Although, a template for a style of play can be created and adopted before it is passed down on players at a very tender age but to achieve this, we mus have a functional and well equipt age grade academies that must be run by every clubsides that want to operate in any of our tier leagues. These clubs and League must also be bouyant enough to attract and retain players from all over third World countries or other countries interested. And players from this league must be able to work straight into any of the top 5 leagues in Europe. My point is that the financial aspect of it must be able to allow players stay for long to master this adopted style of play, so that even if these players go abroad to learn another style, they can quickly adapt to our style once they are assembled together. Else, anything short of this will not work and we will be forced to play only according to the European style. However, Each European has different style of play. The Italians adopted park the motor and counter attack style of football and it won them the 2006 World cup if I am correct. In 2010, Spain adopted Cruff tiki taka football to win the world cup while the Germans subdued the world with their compact fast counter attack football and technology. These styles of play didn't start yesterday, they ran it for years in their academy and even mastered it playing together in the league. For me to win the world cup, we must either use the method that won us the Olympics, U17 etc or we develop our league and adopt a style of play. 4 Likes |

LaExpert: I really don't think we have done anything or shown some inherent quality in recent times to make any analyst classify us as dark horse. You don't just assign dark horses based on history. The years we proved the dark horse - 1994 and maybe 1998 - the signs and inherent indicators were there. Senegal and Morocco appear to be analysts' dark horses from Africa and that's justifiable. Someone (Croatian coach?) mentioned Nigeria as a potential destroyer - unpredictable, difficult to understand team. That's more like it. But really doesn't take us from the no-hopers category like at least 16 other teams. So I don't really think we are underrated by analysts. But then as a Nigerian, I would really love my analysis to be wrong. I want Nigeria to defy all analyses (even mine, which unfortunately is also pessimistic) and go far, or even win. 2 Likes |

hardwerk: How can you even make such statement. Bergkamp was good in his controls and finishing but Beckham added more to the Success Of the team. From his accurate long balls from deep to free strikers, to his accurate crosses, he was one of the best free kick takers ever. And then deadly with corner-kicks. Bergkamp can not come close to David Beckham in any way. |
