What’s your take on SE performance for 2018?

Joebie:
There is no credibility in their emergence as league winners. Our 2018/2019 continental campaign is all a joke.

komekn:


We may do.

But if it was the team that played Uganda then I very much doubt it. Cameroon are having a resurgence and behind it is Seedorf

gamaliel9:


I hope you know that national team football is different from club football...between Iheanacho and Diabate...i will take Diabate who has more drive and is more incisive...even younger...Nacho is more experienced but that does not add value to our national team CURRENTLY....Puel of Lyon is not the Puel of Liecester...He had wonderful players including Govou,Gorginho,that Malian and othes...he played smooth football in France...He thinks Iheanacho is a finished product...no....He should work on him to trap very well...DRIBBLE too....use a bit of right leg...work on his free kick too...and above all SHOOT FROM AFAR....all these have disappeared from Nacho `s play and WORST IS THAT ROHR HAS NOT SEEN IT

komekn:


Firstly, I think we need to move away from this presumption that's it's all Rohr. Rohr is involved but thee are other players and participant's with thier differing agendas.

Musa was dead and buried in Leicester the EPL is not for all players. He then wisely decided to return to his comfort zone. Russian league he then had a complete resurgence in his career, that was the justification for his call up.

Club selection policy can be problematic sometimes when thier is conflict between Manager and player or other interests. Such as Dominic Iorfa is having at Wolves whuch resulted in an FA inquiry into Wolves and the activities of super agent Mendes running the club by proxy. Wolves has more Portuguese players than Benfica and Porto. That's a clear cut non football issue excluding a player.

With regards to club selection, I don't know of any current player of Nigerian origin that was clearly excluded for matters that were not related to performance.

Uzoho gets in because Enyeama was denied opportunity in the first place. And because we simply did not have any quality goal keeper, it seems. In this event when the desirable is not available the available becomes desirable by certain individuals in the NFF.

There were many other goal keepers available but they were not given OPPORTUNITY. So we will never know how good they could have been or not been.

Uzoho is there right now, is he the best goal keeper we have, I 100% doubt it. Across the entire local leagues you are saying thier was nobody. I simply don't believe that.

junnyjake:


Why the "no-homo" deceleration?

Guess you don't want to get "Riley Freeman" pissed. Lol

Odunayaw:
Hopefully Rangers bring their good plays & their good luck

Seeing their signings I believe they can do fine, but Lobi? I will receive any results they bring with an open mind

2018 AWC permutations.

No country is through to the semi finals and no country has crashed out yet. Meaning any of the 8 teams can crash out and any of the 8 teams can qualify. How?

Group A
Cameroon 6 +4
Mali 3 +0
Ghana 3 +0
Algeria 0 -4

Final group fixtures:
Cameroon vs Ghana, Algeria vs Mali.

Cameroon can only crash out if Ghana beats Cameroon by 3 goals marigin and Mali wins Algeria by same score line.

Algeria can qualify if Algeria beat Mali by 3 goal margin and Cameroon beats Ghana by any Margin.

Mali will qualify if they draw or beat Algeria by any Margin and Cameroon beats Ghana by any margin

Ghana can qualify if they beat Cameroon by any margin and Algeria and Mali play a draw or Algeria wins. Meaning if Ghana beats Cameroon 1 goal margin and Mali beats Algeria, Ghana will still crash out.

Pretty open but favorites to qualify are Cameroon and Mali.

Group B
South Africa 6 +7
Nigeria 3 +3
Zambia 3 +1
E/ Guinea 0 -11

Final fixtures:
South Africa vs Zambia
Nigeria vs E/ Guinea

South Africa can crash out if they lose to Zambia by 4-0 and Nigeria win E/ Guinea by any margin.

E/ Guinea will qualify if they beat Nigeria by 8-0 and South Africa beats Zambia by any margin.

Nigeria will qualify if Nigeria beats E/Guinea by any Margin and Zambia beats SA by 3 or less goals or South Africa beats Zambia by any Margin or they play a draw.

Zambia will qualify if they beat SA by 4 or more goals and Nigeria beats E/ Guinea or E/ Guinea beats Nigeria by any Margin.

Seems a mountain so high for E/Guinea and Zambia.
SA and Nigeria favorite to qualify as first and Second respectively.

Joebie:
For one thing, it would be interesting to see how the new format of the league pans out.

Joebie:
Nigeria will beat EQG. I hope we get all the goals possible. SA, Zambia game will be tricky.

andrew444:


Seedorf and kluivert are crap coaches......They are better of as football directors

No b so people talk for thierry henry self?

Easier to say than done

Odunayaw:
Their female team?

if its their men, I fail to see it

TheGoodJoe:


No, no, no...

Musa was still getting called despite playing in the u23 of Leicester City. Relying strictly on club form would have been disastrous.

Uzoho is holding it down for the team. I will always encourage a continuous search but Uzoho's selection was not due to club form strictly.

komekn:


I watched them play Brazil a few days ago, if you can watch the match and I'm sure your opinion will change DRAMATICALLY.

komekn:


I in all honesty can not with integrity create a list.

But I would over twelve months invite a least 30 players who have been outstanding in club and league and give them opportunity.

That opportunity will translate to both training and games and if we have to arrange more friendlies so be it. But it will be a measured balanced level playing field where justification is by performance not assumption of quality but proven quality.

From that selection we can arrive at point where players will be selected on merit. Some existing players will be there some will be dropped. But it will be on merit.

We may do.

But if it was the team that played Uganda then I very much doubt it. Cameroon are having a resurgence and behind it is Seedorf

What does he bring to the Eagles?

groundnutoil:
yea like Collins who is so good that he plays in German 2nd division
most of your players play abroad just because they were born there that's why we are always dragging nationality with the countries the play in
you think some of the npfl players won't do better if the had a more better condition to show their skills
besides most or your super eagles are bench warmers in their league
and your best player in the super eagles now (musa) started in the Npfl and proved himself before he went abroad
the guy who gave u your last afcon title Sunday mbah was playing in the league
ur best player in ur last under 23 African nation cup (etebo) was with warri wolves dn
abeg talk another thing
granted the league quality no dey dat high doesn't mean there aren't good players in the league too
trying playing in bad pitches without salaries for months and still put up some good displays and tell me you won't do more if given a more comfortable display consistently

komekn:


Is it possible for you to present something without caustic rhetoric and confrontation. Must everything be Fight.

So because Thierry Henry is not doing good Seedorf and Kluivert will not do good. Does that make sense to you ❓

BascoVanVeli:


Lobi had the better signings IMO. You will hear the name Sikiru Alimi much more this year. I believe he can be the next big thing from the league. Along with Samuel Matthias and Samad Quadri I see a very exciting team

gamaliel9:



eeem eeem clears throat again....he is a winger...he is not better than the ones in the team....and Chukwueze has joined too....i do not think we will need him...unless Rohr thinks of French connection to sneak him into the team...otherwise....He is not better than than the two Kalus,Simon,Onyekuru,Musa....in short our wings are LOADED...NFF SHOULD BE GOING FOR MIDFIELDERS AND DEFENDERS FOR NOW

Joebie:
What’s your take on SE performance for 2018?

EEGA:
With the Kind competition wey we get AFCON go sweet.

Odunayaw:
I just wish the phase will pass

Utonwanne:


Seedorf has been average or should should I say below average. We played against Uganda with fringe players
