Chai. See foolery in public sphere. Did he Just infer that if the crowd isnt racially abusing a player, then racism doesn't exist? He suddenly forgot that even those that stand by the antiracism banners aka the players, do it well, albeit under radar covered lips. You'd expect VAR to help but no, its when Neymar tap person head, VAR turn Thanos.


Besides, disciplinary measures along the touchline as well. I dunno all the rules, but that Lampard vs Klopp exchange was supposed to see Lampard sent off. I bet you if Klopp did all that, he'd serve touchline ban.



These guys feel the racism idea is exaggerated. Smh. This man had better be quoted outta context o.

Rohr has done so much for the super eagles, even if his tenure doesn’t end well, he should be remembered for how he turned the team around and made Nigerians proud of their National team once again.

...for bringing FB into the fold abi!good but history will forget him if he failed to win any trophy.

Otto Gloria... 1980 afcon
Clemens Westerhoff...1994 afcon
Stephen Keshi....2013 afcon
Bonfrere Jo...Olympic gold Atlanta 1996

Pls tell me who remembers Manfred Hoener,Thijs Libregt,Philipe Trousier,Berti Vogts...

The turnaround of Super eagles was Westerhoff period and no coach has achieved that feat, bringing FB in and having good homegrown players good for the country but we want a team that we would remember as historic team.

Rohr just need to win next Afcon,qualifying for WC is not a record cos that record belonged to Clemens Westerhoff.

We already have two. One is at Huesca in La Liga. The other is at Deportivo who are now in the Spanish Third tier (but he played for them in the Segunda in 2019/2020).

Their names... Kevin Carlos Benjamin Omoruyi (a forward) and Mujaid Sadick Aliu (a Centre back).

Then ofcos we have Marvin Park of RM.

That Fisayo Dele-Bashiru had a great game yesterday for Sheffield Wednesday. Naija-Irish, Gavin Bazunu was on the opposing side and was also impressive.

Nnamdi Ofoborh was another who also impressed yesterday in an unfamiliar position. Lad was very solid against an EPL side in Crystal palace.

Of all the Championship Midfielders you listed, We have Ofoborh, Ejaria, and the Bashiru brothers as ours for now and the future. It is Olise we hope to lure. As for Luke Ayodele Amos, well we aren't desperate for him but he is also eligible.


ChrisKels:
We gonna be parading a sizeable number of young mid fielders in the English Championship this season.

Ovie Ejaria CM - Reading FC

Michael Oliseh CM - Reading FC

Nnamdi Oforboh CM - Bournemouth

Luke Amos DM - QPR

Tom Dele Bashir CM - Watford

Fisayo Dele Bashir CM - Sheffield Wednesday

Elder Kog, you are right. Rohr needs trophies to properly cement his legacy. The next Afcon title is a huge priority for Rohr.

What position did Ofoborh play?
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 8:37am On Sep 16, 2020
He was deployed on the right side of Central defence in a five man backline or more like a three man central defensive set-up with the two fullbacks flanking the midfield and defence.

Some FIFA 21 cards already revealed... Focus on pace.


Chidera Ejuke is the fastest Nigerian player rated by EA Sports FIFA so far on his base card. He also makes the top 20 fastest in the game alongside other Africans like Ismaila Sarr (Senegal/Watford) and Kreppin Diatta (Senegal/Club Brugge). The fastest were named as Adama Traore, Alphonso Davies and Kylian Mbappe all on 96 pace.

Moses Simon's card is not yet released.

You’re Too Quick, How Old Are You - Moses Simon Reveals Details Of His Conversation With Fabregas
owngoalnigeria.com Sep 15, 2020 8:06 AM

Nantes of France forward Moses Simon says his exchange with Cesc Fabregas during the course of his team 1-2 loss to Monaco was a friendly one.

Television cameras during the course of the game picked the Nigerian having a conversation with the former Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea ace in the heat of the Ligue 1 clash.

Simon revealed that there discussion was a friendly one with no malice attached as Fabregas jokingly asked him why he is so fast after he made a run from deep to stop an incursion into the box of his team.

“ It was nothing serious just a gentleman discussion. He said “ You’re too quick, how old are you ? I told him my age and that’s all. Nothing confrontational”, Simon told Owngoalnigeria.com.

Nantes are not having the best of start to the season but Simon insist it’s a phase that they will overcome soon and put smiles on the faces of their fans.

“ It’s a bad patch. It won’t last that I am sure of. The season is just three games old and we have four points. There are lot of points to play for and we will bounce back and make our fans smile”.

Chuba has never impressed me, he was exceptional at youth level.

Buy struggled to make the step up to first team football, had many opportunities but has been not just mediocre but very POOR.

Will he be able to step up from the backwaters of Greece and make and change the fortunes of Middlesborough, I seriously doubt it.

15th September 2020

Romanus Ugwu, Abuja

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, on Tuesday, promised a brand new Super Eagles squad capable of lifting the next edition of the African Nations Cup trophy and surpassing the previous FIFA World Cup records.
Fielding questions from SportingSun in his office at the Sunday Dankaro House new secretariat in Abuja, the NFF boss assured that the post-COVID-19 Super Eagles squad will be the team Nigerians will be proud of.

Asked the kind of post-COVID Super Eagles Nigerians should expect, he said: “It will be the same youthful, discipline, passionate and patriotic team. It is going to be with new players we are trying out now but our goal is basically to win the Nations Cup.

“We will not only qualify for the World Cup but also surpass our previous records. We are bring up a very new dynamic great team. That is the motivation for playing two international friendly matches.

Four Nigerians played yesterday in the match between Bournemouth and Crystal palace.

Eze, Ofoborh, Philip and Solanke.

Ofoborh played Right wing back and he really impressed but he's not clinical in front of goal. Missed two chances.

Eze tried because his team had to depend against the Bournemouth who pressed crystal palace almost throughout. He is a very good player though.

Philip was solid throughout but he lost the ball many times.

Dominic came in 10 or 8 minutes to the end of the match and I was impressed with the way he dribbled and passed the ball. I think he needs to move away from England to another country.

They all scored during the penalty shootout which eventually ending in favor of Bournemouth.

Amaju pinnick is the President of Super Eagles and not president of NFF. I am certain falcons won’t get a coach this calendar year. Cadet teams will soon begin qualifiers come October, none of them have coaches

Can you expand please, l am not aware of there ever being an election for the position of President of Super Eagles and or if the position even EXISTS.

I was in Warri when Amaju won the election for the Presidency of the Nigeria Football Federation.
