@chriskel@tbaba ,best news for u guys if true

After watching the 3rd place match between Nigeria and Tunisia, i think:

1. [b]Ighalo remains the most lethal and composed striker Nigeria has, no wonder Rohr stuck with him [/b]all through and he paid back with 5 goals.
2. Our goalkeeping wahala continues
3. Our midfield requires a good ball holder and distributor cuz Etebo and Ndidi play very similar roles.
4. Musa needs to be relegated to the bench in future matches to give room for upcoming fast wingers
5. Our central defenders can do better than what they are doing.

Above all, Rohr has proven to be a very good coach who should be retained to build a world class team.
Congratulations to our darling Super Eagles!!!

At the bolded thats why i said the coach knows better but people here say na lie ,na dem know better than the coach, if some people here have the power they will even play anybody as striker as far its not ighalo

Similar to Euro Nations league

36 Teams are separated into 3 leagues; League A, League B and League C

What league a country belongs to depends on FIFA ranking.

Nigeria for example is in league A along with the superpowers of African football.

12 countries are in league A and they will be separated into 4 groups of 3 teams each.

League B: 8 teams with 2 groups of 4 teams each

League C: 8 teams with 2 groups of 4 teams each

League D: 8 teams with 2 groups of 4 teams each

Each team in the groups will play home and away.

Teams that qualify as first in each group of League A (4 teams) will then face off in a semi-final (home and away).

A final will then be played in a chosen venue.

Teams that come last in each group of League A (4 teams)will be demoted to League B

While four best performing teams in League B will replace the relegated teams from League A

The same style of promotion and demotion also applies to teams in League C and League D

It is styled after the Euro Nations league I think

Hmmm! That's great. It will really improve African football because you will be forced to play the best in the continent.

Did u know that until this bronze Metal yesterday, Rohr had never won even a plastic medal throughout his coaching career that has spanned more than 29years now? No wonder my man was so elated when that medal hung down his neck


Chai na one chance we enter so oo

As good as Former Chelsea coach (Sarri) was,he has never win a plastic cup in his career too, buy he won the Europa league with Chelsea, and will win many more with Juventus.

There is always a first time to every thing.
And I believe he will still win some more with us.

Let's be positive pls.

I meant everything I said.

Just because you're playing at an academy in England doesn't necessarily mean you'd turn out better than those who are plying their trades on the streets.

We seen youngsters playing for reputable academies in England and fading into obscurity as soon as their careers are about to kickstart, you are a witness to this.

I have seen players bought for a £1 million pounds at 14-16 within a few years they are playing non league. I have seen youth players bought from Barcelona and then within a few years lost. I have seen non league players rise from NOTHING to STARDOM this is what makes football exciting. The stone rejected becomes the corner stone.


All things being equal a player training with the best clubs, coaches and facilities has a better chance of making it, that is a FACT.

Although it is 1000 times harder and very difficult, sometimes impossible for a player to come from Ojagbugbe street in Warri and make it to the top BUT because of the great grace of God it is still very POSSIBLE.

My absolute dream is to see a Nigerian origin English non league player ignored and castigated in England play for the SE play a friendly with England and score a hatrick. is that dream too big.

You guys are unbelievable! Less than one year ago, after the 2018 World Cup, Ahmed Musa was the demi god of the Super Eagles to most of y'all and Jude Odion Ighalo was the worst striker to ever walk the planet earth. Now, less than one year later, Musa is the one who's useless and Ighalo is the super dupa star, eh?

Oh boy, am I glad that most of y'all have nothing to do with managing Naija footie!

Musa has always been a bench material. He can only be effective as a substitute.

And for a player of his experience, it's unfortunate that the guy is still unbelievably inconsistent. Today, he's outrunning everyone on the pitch , tomorrow he won't even be able to dribble a single soul and will be playing like what I don't understand

Exactly

You are actually right Mostob. Nigeria remains Africa's most consistent side in Afcon History.

3 Gold (Titles) + 4 Silver medal finishes + 8 bronze medal finishes

The consistency is top class. Undisputed. But we need a fourth title. The next final we get to, I'm sure we will win it. Afcon 2021 is a target... It is in Cameroun.

Similarly, few months ago, Nigeria defeated Algeria home and went away to pull a draw, so bro people change within the shortest possible time.
Musa might be more effective coming off the bench.

Nnaa, even after that his flash in the pan performance at the world cup most people are still confident Musa is wack...There was no time Musa was consensually agreed to be a good product, even from his Kano pillars days. Musa has always been horrible and sometimes managed to produce moments of brilliance.

One gold is better than 10 bronzes

exactly, once you failed to win the ultimate, the rest is irrelevant

Farewell Odogwu Mikel!!!

Just as I foresaw and predicted over a year ago. You have followed the script I read from.

Mikel will go down as one of Nigeria's and Africa's most successful and most decorated Players.
He does down too as one of Nigeria's and Africa's finest midfielders in history.

The Super Eagles will need a new inheritant of the #10 jersey.

Likely candidates to take over the #10 jersey of the GWG for the long run are:

- Alexander Iwobi

- Samuel Chukwueze


Outsiders:
- Kelechi Iheanacho (when he gets back to his best and evolves further from there).

- Samuel Kalu

You used the wrong word, "inconsistent"....Musa is not inconsistent but a very poor player who just runs a lot.

he is still better than ighalo though.

Untrue, Rohr got a silver in the UEFA Cup (Now Europa league) in 1996.

Musa is a fantastic player who needs proper managing to unleash all the beast in him, remember sterling of liverpool v sterling of mancity ? whats the difference? Pep

Everything you wrote was great until I read the name Iwobi....Iwobi has proven he has ABSOLUTELY nothing to offer with his one-two and very weak and embarrassing hold of the ball and now you want him to wear a 10 ?? Even Chukwueze cant wear the 10 yet....maybe Samuel Kalu and Etebor for now.

jihday:
I'm sure most of you will be happy

He chose the best time to retire. He retires a hero. Farewell Iggy! Inventor of the "iggy scoop"

Scoring a goal in your last game is a fine way to bow out. Especially when it is a winner.

15 goals in 35 games.... Well done Iggy.

I forgot about Samuel Kalu. I will add him to My Outsiders list.

But calm down Sir odenigbo... Lol... Iwobi is still in with a shout. That is why I say Long run.


On Etebo... There is no way Etebo will dorn that #10 shirt please. I cancel such proposal... Lol

why ebuihi not in squad sl benfica in last 2 frindly matches ?

komekn:


Ighalo was playing in Laliga at 20 he must have had something to be in La liga you are being UNKIND.

But we are talking about the HERE and NOW not speculative assumption. A player the Management has said he currently lacks what it takes.

Look at SE strikers of the past and present.

Yakubu, Yekini, Ighalo, Anichibe. Odemwingie, Ideye. Emenike, Obagoal, Ikpeba. Look at thier attributes all of them had a good degree of physicallity and the best strikers were the strongest physically speaking.

So a good degree of physicality is a must have not just a desirable among other essential attributes.

Odemwingie physical??
