Its same format as the 2014 WC, we can even play Senegal, except they want to use FIFA ranking with seeded and unseeded teams.

How?

Abiodun Baruwa interview

---

How has it been since your retirement from active football?

I’m doing great in United Kingdom with my family. We are all here and everything is fine.
I have been in London for the past 16 years and I have established my company called BRW Sports management. The company is about seven years now. Our main task is to scout for talented players in Africa, including Nigeria.
I have also obtained the Level One and Two certificates as goalkeepers’ coach from the English FA and another certificate as an outfield coach. At the moment, I’m planning to return to Nigeria to coach any of our national teams or any club.

What efforts have you made to actualise your dream of coaching any of the national teams

Thank you for the question. I spoke with the Nigeria Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick, about my intent to coach any of the national teams.
We had a brief telephone conversation. I also sent him my resume along with my photographs while I was in the national team for him to remember me.
So, If I’m given an opportunity, I would prefer to coach or be part of the Under 23 or Super Eagles’ technical crew.

So, what was the NFF president’s response

For me, his response was not encouraging. On the day I spoke with him, he said he was in a haste for a meeting and that I should call him back. Since then, he hasn’t picked my calls. I opted to send him messages on WhatsApp and he still didn’t reply to all the messages I sent him for about a year now. I hope, someday, he will consider me and give me audience.

I understand you but thread won't be entertaining without some off-topics


Can you shed more light on "Derailing and unrelated post about La liga or EPL"?

TheSuperNerd:
There will always be off-topics from time to time.

That's inevitable as discussion must lead to discussions. Only that we must try have a control over how far we take it. We must employ some form of moderation in how far we derail. We must always as matured people know when to cut things short and return to the main purpose of the thread. That way, we give this thread more prestige and not turn it into a place for junk posts on anything foreign to it or a Mini-EPL or Mini-Euro clubs thread.

Anyway, I explained a bit more in my subsequent reply to my good friend, TheGoodJoe. Right now, I really wanna go get set to see two games at once. On my gadget and on TV. Today na Today. Either Nacho or Ndidi get that UCL ticket or they "die" trying. (Abeg, no be actual die... Ehen.. Na just equivalent of "give your all" ).

andrewbaba44:


Wolves will do the lords work at the bridge

And ndidi nacho and co will beat man united

I can’t wait for the game to end to see the goals scorers of Leicester

delana:

This your moniker got my attention, are u a healthcare worker. Just curious.

TheSuperNerd:
I just pray you don't live close to any Chelsea fan around you.

But if it would take Chelsea losing or Man Utd losing for Nacho and Ndidi to make the UCL, then I hope either or any other scenario favoring our guys, happen.
As sentimental as that sounds, I cannot help it. I am rooting for our lads. Come what may... Whether we bag UCL or not... I am with them. Let's go there.

jihday:
Yep, FIFA ranking will be used. Top 5 teams can't play themselves

Utonwanne:
Isaac is going to championship

TheSuperNerd:
Please... Who witnessed that beautiful piece of skill from Iheanacho on thr turn before laying a pass around the 19mins mark or so? Lad is balling. Maguire has even picked up yellow b'cos of him. But I hope Leicester turns this pressure play on man Utd players into something awesome.

Edopesin:
Mount is too good

ChrisKels:
Ndidi is so fvcking dominant!!!

With a good DM in the eagles, I would experiment Ndidi in the CM. Dude controls the midfield like a veteran
