Re: Rohr has been Vindicated
Kai, Naija should go back to local coaches and give them the support they give oyinbo. It took England a while to settle on Southgate after FCs failed. The NFF should give, Naija's Southgate, Manu, the keys to the Eagles bus and support him like they have Rohr. I know there is also Siasia but ManU ...

Re: Rohr has been Vindicated
Rohr's tactics against Croatia was aimed at denying Croatia control of the midfield where they are most potent. It worked but also denied Nigeria opportunity to play to their best. We conceded goals which one can attribute to inexperience. An own goal and a very unnecessary penalty. This Nigeria te...

Re: Recently, everyone in France wanted Deschamp’s head

Re: Recently, everyone in France wanted Deschamp’s head
Deschamps is a clown. This French team is successful despite him and not because of him. In fact, if he was a decent coach, they should be blowing teams away. But he insists on crippling the talent he has by selecting donkeys like Giroud. Not to mention the fact that you don't need the insurance of...

Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Development for 2018/2
I just like the way we have gone about our buying this season, even with the WC to contend with. I think we have bought well. I can't wait to see us play with the sophistication and structure Emery will bring to the team. Thankfully, our first game is just a month away. Not long to wait................

Re: WC SEMI-FINAL: FRANCE VS BELGIUM ( 1-0) FT UMTITI
Btw, I haven't been able to closely watch this French team so I ask: what do you guys think makes them special? I find them very puzzling to assess. I can point to the strengths of previous WC winners and finalists but am having trouble doing so with this team. Upfront, Giroud is a minus one and of...

Re: The most painful thing I have ever seen on the internet
It is a psycological thing. Just like Egypt and cameroon. Whenever we meet them, our boys start acting inferior and are happy to do the ball chasing all day long! Plus having a manager who tell his players before each world cup match that they are here to learn from the better opposition did not he...

Re: ABEG emergency meeting - DEFCON 3
Huge investments in academies, sport centres and grassroots development. The end product, 90 minutes away from a World Cup semi-final. The failures past have proved the fuel for present. Meanwhile Nigeria remains the 24 year old dollard, failing to pass the same class year in, year out. Plan for th...

Re: DFB Sticks with Low Despite Group Phase Elimination....
Rohr is NOT it! The team is NOT playing better than they did under a local coach. Again, however you cut it, he failed. You guys are hoping that he comes good. He will not. The problems with the team in his first game is still the problem with the team in the last game they played. You talk about b...

Re: ROHR FAILED....
Rohr is a failure as coach. The cycle for 2022 start now and we need to plan for that with a new coach. I agree. The new pseudo-professionalism of the NFF should have them seek a coach who will get us playing the Naijarian way. We do have a style of playing football. We all can see it when we play ...

Re: ROHR FAILED....
With South Korea's performance over Germany it makes a mockery of Rohr's daft perspective. One thing I admire about the Asian teams particularly South Korea and Japan is that they play without fear . If their players had the quality of African players they'd do far better. That, right there, is the...

He failed at the WC but I don't recommend firing him. Before he was hired we were at our lowest point failing with Siasia and Oliseh to qualify for back to back nations cups. Let's keep it real. No one expected us to qualify from a group that included Marhez and Co plus a bunch of fairly recent ANC...

Re: ROHR must continue After World Cup
I never supported Rohr's appointment. I do not see anything that he has
done that a local coach could not do better IF given the enormous support
and encouragement he has enjoyed.

Re: Are the referee's request for video evidence consistent?
Is it the ref that calls for video review or he's prompted on his ear piece to go for a video review? It seems to me they decide what to review. I know the Ebuehi incident was waved away and the ref seems to want to start the game and suddenly he looked like he received some prompting on his ear pi...
