Call me Captain Obvious but I feel like have to say it again.

Youth Team, Adult team, women's Team, Men's teams ??....Its the same exact problems we have....

Cant kick a goal kick in any kind of consistent way
Cant catch Crosses
Doesn't inspire any confidence
Etc, Etc, Etc

Na Waaa o !! meanwhile our Cameroonian neighbors continue to produce world class keeper 40 years in a row...

Another day another issue to bash Nigeria on. For the past 30yrs or so we have consistently produced some of the best national team goalies in Africa,in fact top 20 in the world. Vince, Rufai, Ike were all top notch goalies over the course of their careers. Each of them were local products. Eyimba , stores etc.

As soon as we have little dip in talent then it’s the system, the people and the players. Uzoho went to the WC and acquitted himself quite well, better than even Vince in 2002 but they don’t like him. He’s not playing every game in England or Germany. He can’t kick, doesn’t wear the right uniform etc.

Give it a break. The talent is there and the young shall grow. Now, tell us in blue in 10 reasons why there’s no running water in your town. No borehole story pls. :thumb:

You need to stop smoking that crack.... The only goalie we have ever produced that had a full compliment of technical skills is Enyama… the rest of them were seriously deficient. !!
