CAF Cup: Enugu Rangers in trouble at home: ZESCO tormenting

[Toxicarrow]

It is 2-2 now....

[oloye]

Nigerian teams are just not good enough on africa...it is that simple. The irony of this situation is that they keep trying to go in for this competitions , a venture that has become very costly logistic wise but with prospect of anything coming out of it. Since Eyimba won the cup , it is unbelievable how far down the ladder we have dropped in club competitions. Imagine the likes of Sudan pounding our teams like an abriba man pounding akpu...

[bret- hart]

Useless Rangers. Where are their fans who were making noise last year???mchewwww

[pajimoh]

Rubbish team that manages to pain the title land they won't stop partying. Now they are not in good mental shape to repeat the feat

Success got so many fathers; but orphan has none.
Rangers and life-lesson about people.

Full score: 2-2. Let's see what Enugu Rangers will do next week on the road.

the problem is deeper than it looks on surface; number one reason is - team spirit & the skilled players' aspirations are no longer met within existing local contexts unlike in other less advanced African nations where their local players' frame of success references are still locally met within those nations. An average skilled Nigerian player is using mikel, ihenacho etc as his frame of reference when anticipating what comes next hence is unfocused & thinks arsenal will come knocking any time. The are simply not content with being in nigeria and playing for peanuts,

Prize money has increased if teams get to group stages. Heartland did well a while ago. Sudan clubs always give our teams a fight. Al Merreick beat Bendel Utd to lift Winners Cup in 1989. BCC lost its Winners Cup defence to Zambia club Dynamos in 1991.

Nor be by force to debate my friend....you compare losing in the finals to losing in the first round to Tesco footballl club or being beaten yearly like bata drum by Sudan...biko my friend we have dropped. There was a time we were making the semis with ease , there was a time when getting knocked out in the first round was an aberration as opposed to what is becoming a normal occurence. My good friend do you even understand what i am trying to say with my first post ?

Just that you can see clearly what am saying...this is not about bashing Rangers my darling club..as a club we had our standard in the good glorious days...chai losing to Tesco abi na Zesco...we need to atone for whatever sins that has brought us crashing down to this level!

There was a reason why the Champions Cup was once regarded as elusive. You are correct to infer that we struggle in Africa generally, but we do better in the lesser Cups.

Sudan or Zambia clubs were never walkover for Nigerian clubs, they are usually competitive at whatever stage we meet them.
