Let me ask you a question. Going by your logic of rating teams based on which leagues their players play in, does Nigeria have any business losing to any team in our group? After all these teams in our group, their players are all playing in 'backwater leagues'.

Logical as your point might be, the reverse argument also holds water:
If you think league 'status' does not count, then what right do Nigerians have to assume that those nations full of 'backwater league' players have no right beating Nigeria?

We fully 'expect' to beat Croatia and Argentina with their superior players yet believe Madagascar and Seychelles have no right beating us. That's why this whole debate is farcical.

To quote the late, great Stephen Keshi, "Di'is fuball....anytin can happun".

Fact not feelings!

Why are you guys swallowing another man's panadol?

Could it be maybe their head no dey house?

There are no more unnecessary beefs, disharmony and arguments in camps and selections are now based on merits. For this reason, he should continue after ANC irrespective of the results. We must follow “Due process” in this country and in order to achieve anything meaningful, you must be prepared to wait.

NONSENSE post from a football-know-nothing and certified gasbag.

BP, why why why???? A defender could score a harder volley than our so called top striker - who couldn't even hit the target.

Win ANC or else get sacked

No matter what happens retain Rohr

Me I am not setting any landmark or physical goal, I will go by my gut feeling at the end of the tournament.

You would think we should at least get to the semis, but the way the tournament is what if we meet a strong team in the quarter finals, play well and are unlucky to score then go out on penalties.

Are you then going to fire a coach because we didn't make the semis. That would be sheer stupidity.

I think continuity is very important and under Rohr we have had the right players being called by in large. No more can hey yous expect to wear #10 shirt and start during a competative match. Good riddance to those terrible days under local coaches who thought they were bigger than the players.

Unless Rohr does poorly he should be retained until Qatar 2022. To undo this stability right before we begin to start our 2022 qualification would be stupid.

Remember that Rohr's specialty is navigating African terrain and qualifying process.

Rohr should be kept up until 2022, unless something goes terribly wrong in Egypt.

Nigerians do not think long term. Chop and change no go work.

I am loving this stability and continuity with the SE.

4) Nigeria: Strong team on paper and had an Ok performance at that World Cup.
5) Cameroun: current defending champion and has 5 ANC at its disposal
6) Ghana: another team with an ANC history their squad are capable of winning
7) Ivory Coast: so many talents at their team that can win. Highly unlikely
8) Algeria: Mahrez, bentalab, feghouli, brahimi, slimani they can cause an upset. Highly unlikely

Honestly, there are like 8 teams capable of winning this trophy

Anyone can win the ANC,SE should go there with target to win it nothing more,Morocco,Cameroon and the rest going there to win it.
All those teams you name not better than SE,Algeria and Cameroon fear of Nigeria.
If Rohr mess up he should be left in Egypt.Nigeria should be going this this with nothing short of going for the trophy.Nigeria is bigger than this and should start preparing to be the first Africa country to go to World cup for the trophy.

We had a poor run of results in preparation matches prior to the Tourney which was an early pointer to poor form and questionable tactics.

Unsurprisingly, we didn't qualify from the WC group stages.

Stephen Keshi did that on far less the support given to Rohr.

Let's be fair!

Bro we lost against the finalist Croatia and Argentina. We beat Iceland...that's as good as that team was doing even if Klopp was coaching.
