The minimum expectation remains unchanged. I speak to the decision surrounding performance.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Onigbinde also had a young team in 2002...we should not lower standards for anyone, unless there is a general agreement that from now henceforth, no-one gets fired for not getting out of round 1.

Keshi, with the likes of Babatunde, Uchebo, Ameobi, that #2 (I forget his name), made it to second round, and lost to France with atrocious refereeing and a sub-par Mikel.

Thank you chief,just because the guy is white nothing else.Her should be let go if he cant get pass the group stage.
I feel like this team is good enough to go all out for the trophy.
1)His target number one should be top the group.
2)Second round beat the team infront of you,if you top a group with Argentina then you likely might miss France who wants to top their group also.Denmark should be beaten this time around but respect them.
3)From last 8 play a do or die game as you set your eye on the trophy.
If this man cant take this team to next round he should be fired,

Doc, I resemble an Arsenal fan?

You play to win the game!

Not participation trophies, not moral victories...

The only scenario I will give him a pass is if we get eliminated by a coin toss. PERIOD!

Perfect example of the perils that can befall the most innocent and well intended parlance. "Groom" is heavily indebted to Yorkshire's ravenous reprobates from rendering it amongst the most sickening of verbs in Lizzie's language. Moving on...

There's no reason to assume 4 more years will translate into anything other than a blank page and brand new contest. Four years from now, new prospects will emerge, some of great potential will plateau or plummet and others will fill the expanse in between. Football is predictably unpredictable and awash with constants and consistencies.

Should Rohr be given right to remain if the WC ends in absolute failure? Has such a privilege been afforded others? If he fails, he has failed and failure merits it's just reward.

I am ambivalent about this issue. Personally, I do not support the wily-nily sacking of our coaches because I believe that it has an adverse effect on team building and my preference is some stability at the level of the coaching staff.

I would consider it outrageous to sack Rohr simply based on the team not making it beyond the first round. That outcome, without examination of the team's play, is problematic considering that we are not favored by many neutrals to actually come out of the group. Take the two scenarios below:

A
Nigeria Croatia 0-1(Nigeria conceding a late controversial penalty for the goal)
Argentina Iceland 2-1
Nigeria Iceland 1-0
Croatia Argentina 1-0
Nigeria Argentina 1-1
Croatia Iceland 0-0

B
Nigeria Croatia 0-2
Argentina Iceland 2-1
Nigeria Iceland 1-1 (Iceland has a pk saved late by Ezenwa )
Croatia Argentina 0-1
Nigeria Argentina 1-2
Croatia Iceland 3-1

In my opinion, Nigeria has done enough in scenario A and to fire the coach will be outrageous. In scenario B, yes fire the coach. What is the difference? It is a matter of some certainty that the team is poor. In Scenario A, the pattern does not indicate that outcome, in B it provides that indication.

Let’s not forget the SE coaching position is just a job. At work we know (especially managers) that except a person has life occurrences to keep him in a job, they’re not guaranteed to be there. We’re talking about firing and not about if he leaves for one reason or another. We’re not the only game in town. The NFF should be focused on having a program they can execute not relying on any one coach and seek to staff up accordingly. They should have options if they’re good managers.

Firing a person shouldn’t be a penalty for failure but about a change for the better. We need to reorient ourselves from this scapegoat mentality.
