Nope. But they receive the rather infamous "football education" that local Nigerian coaches are not able to impart ( :rotf: :rotf:)

Re: BBC Sport: Friendly Loss Splits Opinions.......

The vultures have surrounded Finidi. Now there’s a report on OGN that Lookman and a few players were so upset with Finidi for not playing that they refused to shake his hand after the game. If true, we haven’t heard of this kind of dissent in the team for a long long time. Also, it turns out that F...

Re: What Finidi George said after Nigeria’s 2-nil loss to Mali

We need 2 weeks of camping before SA and another friendly behind closed doors. Maybe against all star Nigerian league side. He is right, for a friendly, it was a good game. Lots of players were tested. You really didn't go 100 percent. You were missing several players. But yet the players passed th...

Re: Awaziem

Akpoguma was never given as much opportunities as Awaziem before being canned Because he was useless when he played both at RB and Central defence. At least Awaziem looked decent when he played at RB a few years ago but I have never rated him as a central defender though. Bros, Dammy thinks because...

Re: Awaziem, Omeruo, Collins, Dessers

The luckiest people in this game were the unused subs. Because the folks you listed, Awaziem, Omeruo, Collins, Dessers and Osayi were bad. If I was a sub, I will be praying for the coach not to use me. What the coaching and technical crew need to look is why did Mali get all those chances. How to r...

AFTER a 0-2 LOSS TO MALI......My View

Finidi George was "baptized" today but it was not one that surely admitted him to the fold of Nigerian football managing gurus but one that may introduce him to the wrath of the Nigerian football turn coats. If he gets a chance to lead the Super Eagles for the long term, this game will re...

The highlighted in red cannot, surely, be played as listed. Yusuf has to be upfront. Either he is there as the sole point man or he is there with Kelechi.

Organizations that engage in discrimination usually fail. The question the likes of Gregs should be asking is will the coach do a good job. Not if he is South African or black or homo sapien or half cast or Yoruba or Hausa or Igbo man or a white man. People still use this word in 2024? Yes they do....
