kennysville: One thing happens in football without doubt if you are playing with top quality consistency. You will be noticed. There is player playing for non league Fylde in England being courted by Championship clubs. At the end of the season club recruitment will look at players statistics. Then they will look at the players and then they will go get them. Dele Alli, Ademola Lookman, Gomez, were all teenagers catapulted from non league to the EPL. Why top performances. Of our players are good they will progress from moi moi league and clubs. It's simple. 1 Like 1 Share |

soetanoreoluwa: They should sponsor them if they really want to improve our football. Maybe down the line the coaches can be on their own but not now. It has been clear to see how our local coaches get outclassed in the continent. I am a firm believer that we have good players in Nigeria but poor coaching and management. 1 Like |

komekn:I have notice your comments here, the reason people will keep seeing such comments as been biased is the way you pass your message. Too blunt, I know you really say the truth most of the time but the method of delivery is the problem. Enough of the hyping, if we have players that can help the nation, suggest them and bring stats. We really do not have good players let us not deceive ourselves but we can get better. |

komekn: What did Neymar do in his first season in barca? What did Dembele do last season? Didnt they cost at least 4 times what Iheanacho was sold for? Not every player hits the ground running. There will be numerous clubs looking for him because they are not blind, they won't just look at stats they will obviously see that he dramatically picked up at the end of the season. 2 Likes |

As I see other teams progress, I get angrier with our players and even more at Rohr. Why? you may ask Well, Ighalo didn't bury his chances when they came. If he had, that match would've ended differently Iheanacho did nothing to prove his doubters wrong. Iwobi was hardly given game time and was deployed at the wrong position when on the pitch. But most of the blame rests with Rohr..... because he selected his players without undue interference. Your top striker was on a goal drought after many friendlies yet you choose to start same striker alone up front in your first match (the most crucial match for us). Couldn't Ighalo have been relegated permanently to the bench or worse still dropped from the Squad? The NFF did everything right this time; no issues of bonuses, no rows with players, sponsorship deals flowed left, right and centre, scouts were deployed to watch players, enough quality friendlies were organized etc....yet our boys didn't seem to play with passion and hunger while our coach allowed primordial sentiments to becloud sound judgement by constantly extending invites to players whose form were below sea level. That's why I supported Rohr's sack because a leopard doesn't change his spots and his conservative style of football and coaching at large ruined our chances at the tournament. If he is allowed to continue, we might see more of the same coaching style 9 Likes |

I posted an article here not too long ago about reasons why our football is not moving forward. I like to capture the attitude of african players especially the ones plying their trade in Europe It's no longer news that when they start making some change every week, most of them loose focus and no longer strive hard to improve their game. They take on all forms of vices especially partying and then their game declines until they sink into obscurity and finally nothingness How many of them have personal coaches? How many of them have clear road-maps for improvement? To start with, some of them need to change their attitude to the game and start taking it seriously. They should forget all past glories and media hype and forge ahead unto greater things 2 Likes |

To any one that doubted we should have had a second penalty against argentina, wasn't it the same situation with Pique when Spain played against Russia... Does referee have double standards when making this hand balll in the box call..the rule is simple if your hands are in unnatural position inside the 18yard box...its a PK...that rule applied to pique today Don't understand why it didn't apply to Rojo..I guess it was more beneficial to keep Argentina in the world cup.. Watching today's game just brought back that memory...I'm just getting frustrated at how things went against us.. 1 Like |

Eagles were woefully inept. The loss to Argentina was like buying a dozen eggs from the market, getting home safely after a rough ride, without a single egg breaking....then once home the eggs are placed on the dining table, only for all the eggs to fall on the ground and smash to pieces. Whose fault was it? The egg or the chicken? Was it a mistake to pay these players on time? Late pmt seems to ginger our players..... prosperity does not. Eagles were the oldest young team ive ever seen and the slowest....haba...Iheanacho 21? Uzoho? He had some good saves, but that reflex is that of an older player. He has height, but no spring. Musa IMO was iced I was watching the game wondering out loud......wtf are they sending the ball to Iheanacho ![]() ![]() Argentina was destroyed by a legit youngster in Mbappe who ran that Argentine back line ragged. I guess in 20 years time mikel will tell us they intentionally did not pass musa the ball enough to humble him. Continued...... 1 Like |

Looking good as opposed to being good Im looking at the remaining teams left and all their jerseys are straightforward...while play wise they all have a chance to win the cup. My country ![]() Cant dribble, cant shoot, cant defend for 10 minutes, cant run, cant adapt, cant take on players, no fire, no desire....flat flat f*cking flat!!!! Oyingbo wall is soft as cotton candy I like them, but like doesnt win you anything. If these two are your foundation, then new cement is needed...the wall let in 4 goals in 3 real games. For a team that has difficulty scoring, that aint gonna cut it. We need to focus our resources on other sports. Football has gone beyond where Nigeria is. Football is very scientific today filled with analytics to improve and help a team adapt, anticipate, act, react, etc...we are no where close. But it's ok, with 200 million ppl, there are other sports for us to try. Looking at the teams left it is as clear as rain water the jibronis that represented us would have chopped at least 5 if not for Rojos and messi saving us from going forward. We dont have players with the mental fortitude and discipline to take us higher, nor do they posses the work ethic, hunger and informed decision making to go further. All our players care about is money up front, so they can take care of their entire village and show lifestyle, if not why for the love of God would Etebo leave la liga for epl div 2? Isnt that going backwards? And you are a starter for the national team ![]() As for one of our benchers... Ebuehi(still dont know why is on the bench), .....goes from Dutch league to Portuguese giants, with a champions league ticket already booked. That's growth , a player who wants to improve. Unfortunately he is the exception not the norm. I read somewhere that Rohr said he had a few players that will no longer be part of the eagles...few ke? Ogbeni.....let me help you.. List of players that should not report for duty again Mikel - holding back Iwobi Ighalo - CANNOT SCORE EVER AGAIN!!! Onazi- It's time Joel- no comment Iheanacho ( yes even uncle) - annoyance Shehu - quota Idowu - coach's pet Omerou - it's time Echiedje - it's time Snatch that 10 jersey from skippo and give it to Iwobi. Iwobi is not perfect, but he can be a very good 10. But how are we supposed to know that when u are playing a career definsive midfielder as your play maker. The reason? Well he played it for us for 2 years and nobody complained ![]() ![]() So my coach is telling me that playing against mediocre African talent is the same as playing world class talent ![]() Rohr should be fired, but he wont because he and pinnick are in bed together.

I have to give credit to Pinnick and NFF and the sports ministry for taking care of their business. As far back as I can remember, Nigeria has always had financial problems, lack of promised money, player strikes,poor preparations and useless friendlies going into tornaments. Not this time. They did a great job and should not let these stupid boys spoil it for future Eagles. I want NFF to be more involved....Rohr cannot be left alone to pick anybody he wants. He has won nothing so therefore he gets no privileges. |
