oloriooko: Asking for Rohr to stay is just being sentimental. The guy is poor tactically. Why do you think he left Bordeaux to settle for the likes of Gabon, Niger and Burkina-faso? The guy was the reason we could not get out of the group stage of the World Cup. He selected the player that suits him rather than selecting the best players for our country. For example, the game against Argentina, Mikel decided not to play as the No 6 and kept drifting back as a No 10. The goal from Messi was as a result of the hole he created in the midfield. Throughout the decade Mikel spent at Chelsea he could not dictate to the managers in Chelsea that he wanted to be a 10 rather he improved himself in the role of a No 6, that he was good at. We had a better No !0 in Iwobi, who Rohr left to rot on the bench. We should stop evaluating ourselves on African standards because unfortunately, the level of football in Africa is dying. We need coaches/managers who can improve our orthodox African way of playing football like in the 90's. We should stop copying the Europeans because we cannot beat them at their style rather we should improve on our attributes as Africans: dribbles, speed and power. Rohr cannot provide this. To me the guy is just another European journeyman frolicking with inept African football administrators to get juicy coaching contracts. 6 Likes 1 Share |

You expressed most of my thoughts. However, you have to look at the big picture for the greater good of the team going forward. Firstly a world class coach will not share your views with respect to players in the home front. That limits us to an indigenous coach. And indigenous coach also has their own sentiments in selection. Secondly, will Nigerian players with our Nigerian mentality respect the coach? My answer is no, unless u have a coach like Oliseh who would boot out all the players who don’t bend to him. But there is also a downside to that poor player management. So what’s the way forward? We need a consortium of our best indegenious coaches who can work together, assisting Rohr so we dont resort to another rebuilding which would take us backwards again. These coaches would take over at the right time. The samrotimi07: |

I don’t. For me it’s not official until it is official. France scores! Modified On Udeme, he hasn’t. But he should be on our radar regardless. We have to forgive our own as regards club problems. ChrisKels: |

Icon4s: Sorry to say, but I like being candid. There's no where in world you can convince me that Iceland is better than Japan. Please let's turn a leaf and stop these half truths, it won't get us anywhere. Look at one of the Iceland defenders, the young man worked in a Salt packing factory prior to the world cup, their number 8 is a bar attendant, this much was revealed by a comentator during their match against Argentina, about 4 others are medical doctors. Their goalkeeper Hannes is a professional film maker. I can go on and on... I was ashamed being a Nigerian when people were going wild with jubilation after beating these guys. Beating these guys should be routine. Their famous results against England, Argentina and the likes is just the case of when a dog bites a man and when a man bites a dog... Lastly, Colombia looks a better team and in better shape than Argentina in this tournament at least. Recently, Colombia defeated France in Paris, I will eagerly await the result of France Argentina to compare notes.

29 June 18 Rangers reach agreement with Roma over season-long loan deal for Nigerian striker Umar Sadiq RANGERS have reached an agreement with Roma to bring Umar Sadiq, a Nigerian striker, to Ibrox on a season-long loan. The 21-year-old, who spent a temporary spell at NAC Breda in the Netherlands earlier this year, will become Steven Gerrard’s eighth summer signing subject to him receiving a work permit. Sadiq, who netted five goals in 13 games in the Eredivisie in the second half of the 2017/18 campaign, doesn’t satisfy the criteria for an automatic endorsement. But Rangers are optimistic the 6ft 4in forward will be able to play in Scotland next term even though he hasn’t represented his country in 75 per cent of their internationals in the last two years. The player joined Serie A club Roma from second tier Italian outfit Spezia in a £2 million transfer two years ago and has since spent loan spells at Bologna, Torino and Breda. Eusebio Di Francesco, whose side reached the Champions League semi-final last season, is unable to guarantee him a regular first team game at the Olympic Stadium next term and has agreed to let him go on loan again. Meanwhile, Gary McAllister reckons Steven Gerrard will relish the challenge of attempting to dethrone Celtic in his first campaign as Rangers boss. The Liverpool legend spent the last 10 days working with his squad at their pre-season training base in Spain as he stepped-up his preparations for the big kick-off. Rangers have been written off in many quarters before a ball has been kicked this term, but assistant manager McAllister is determined to close the gap as the Light Blues look to end their long wait for silverware. He said: “When you look at the numbers I can understand why that can be levelled but, the thing is, we’ve got to really focus on what we’re doing. “We’re aware that side of the city, Glasgow Celtic have done brilliantly under Brendan Rodgers and we’ve got to just go in there and make it more and more competitive and try and push and push. “That’s the mentality of someone who has been a leader and a captain and an inspirational player during his career.” —EveningTimesUK 1 Like |

ChrisKels: For once in a long time, Nacho should do the right thing and push for a reunion with Pellegrini. Pellegrini's football fits Nacho's direct off the ball style and will bring the best in him. His managers for once should shun the urge for monetary rewards and push the young man's career. Finito. |

Kehinde should run away from this move. Barcelona B isn't a good place for him, because Barca rarely promote players from their team B these days plus Tosin is already 20. At this age, he should be playing professional football not going to youth team. He should join Amiens, Salzburg or Anderletch instead. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/barcelona-interested-in-man-uniteds-nigerian-youngster-kehinde/ |

goldfish80: I also like being candid in my opinions. Did you watch Iceland in the last Euros? This was a team that beat England in the 2nd round and narrowly lost to France in the quarter final. And I hope you know Iceland toped their 2018 WCQ group ahead of Croatia? I was even being fair equating them with Japan. I say again, learn to to appreciate your own. You are trying hard to dwarfen Iceland only because they lost to Nigeria. Oga, change this your mindset. 5 Likes |

Icon4s: I watched them at the Euros and they were pretty tasteless. They always had 9 men behind the ball and relied on set pieces because they lack the talents to go toe to toe with anyone. Their captain admitted as much that they frustrated the life out of teams by parking the bus during the qualifiers because they lacked personnel to play real football. I choose not to rate a team of semi professionals ahead of a traditional world cup team and continental champions. It's a travesty for Nigeria to celebrate defeating the Icelands of this world. How the mighty have fallen. 1 Like |
