Re: Why we were successful - Oliseh on the 94 set
Keshi team equaled that achievement but even their set are not salivating and eulogizing them The 94 eagles under achieved without a doubt. They had the potential and talent to go all the way to the QF or even SF of the world cup however serious in fighting and lack of unity undermined them. Yet th...

Re: Rohr has been Vindicated
He was fired in Europe , couldn't get another job in Europe. Came to Africa, coached teams like Gabon and Niger. Pinnick decided to hire the Niger national team coach to coach Nigeria. I am not surprised that he lacks ambition. Nigeria was there to learn? You are particularly fond of saying daft th...

Re: Rohr has been Vindicated
This is what I like about the English attitude and that of their manager. Southgate said they wanted to seize the opportunity, allow players to express the full extent of their ability, and they weren't their for a dress rehearsal. Meanwhile, Rohr was talking about learning and that the team was fo...

Re: Rohr has been Vindicated
Sorry,this does not make sense. Who selected the strikers and inexperience players?? This coach is almost 60! What Learning experience are u talking about please?? What strikers do we have that would do better than the ones we took. He took people who performed during qualifiers and based on form. ...

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 tea...

Re: nigeria vs croatia u-20
Kelechi was destroying teams at the under 17 World Cup. At the world cup against Argentina he could not even pull off a dribble or a shot when he was free. That is an example of what happened!! Our players do not develop much beyond the junior stages. There are other factors also... Information was...

Re: A Possible Reason why SE players do not last
How come Ivorian or Ghanaian teams do not go through the same turnover? Methinks Nigerias problem reflects the weak talent pool is not strong. Of the 2014 team only Mikel, Moses and Enyeama were world class talent. The rest were role players. So any new coach is looking for fresh talent from the ju...

Re: Fire Rohr and use the money to develop our local league
Rohr is getting paid too much money for us to accept the result of this tournament. Rohr needs to be fired and the money used to develop our league so we have quality players. The quality of our players was simply not good enough. Our attack was anemic. Ihenacio and Igahlo did not do anything signi...

Re: Feaking Chinese player Ighalo........................
Besides money why did Ighalo move to China? Improve his game? When he was at watford, he was a goal scoring machine, there were talks of Arsenal moving in, that is where he should worked harder, improved his game, he could have ended up in a top team, instead, the lure of chinese riches were too mu...

Re: CAF needs to come up with an African soccer strategy
I think a lot has to do with grassroot. We need to pay more attention to how our players develop in the grass root. The 90s and late 90s was a talent boom for Nigeria both in football and many other sport especially athletes. We had world beaters that could hold their own any where. Today Nigeria c...

Re: Why Was Yekini So Special?
We should also remember that Yekini was a late bloomer on the national and international stage. And he came at an era when Europe was just getting opened to African Players. Yet over 90 goals in a 100 games is no small fit. He single handedly took Setuba to elite division and still went on to top th...

Re: Rohr fires back at criticism, defends 4-2-3-1
This confirms my assumptions. Rohr set the team up to neutralize Croatia strengths rather than play to the eagles strengths. You see the best of SE when they play free flowing, fast counter. Our best MF was essentially played on the left. Rohr should get it off his head on who had better players pla...

Re: Mikel should start from the bench
I don't know if I am the only one that has noticed, but Mikel is beginning to decline. I don't know if it is his age or the Chinese League (or both), but I can see a significant decline in his ability! 4 years ago, Mikel's passing range was much much better. It has been many games before I saw Mike...

Re: Abuja Stadium re-opened
I think the National Stadium Surulere should be refurbished, reopened and made the home of SE. Football is about tradition and no other stadium hold that tradition like the National Stadium. I still remember how every team who played us there on the road to USA 94 was walloped 4, South Africa, Alger...
