Re: The Folly of Coaching Appointments in Nigeria: SSS vs. C

When Stephen Keshi was first mooted for appointment as coach to the SE, there was a large sound about his lack of coaching experience. When he was seconded to the U-20 as replacement for a fumbling Salami, and he went on to fail with the team at the AYC, he was roundly derided as inadequate, even w...

G4L: The whole team went to sleep after the first goal and simply sleepwalked through the rest of the game except in the last 10 minutes or so when they realized that the clock was indeed ticking. It felt like watching a practice game. I saw the team struggle to score against Rwanda, Gabon, and Alge...

As far as I remember it is two cautions that lead to a match suspension in FIFA competitions EXCEPT at the U-17 level where it requires three cautions. Now, of course, the other question is whether or not cautions obtained at the group phase remsain active at the knockout phase.

Why should he? Simply because the Senegalese FA boss quit? How about other FA bosses whose teams are not going to the WC, they must all quit, one has to assume. I think sometimes we run with this "resignation" stuff. IMO, one only resigns if he finds his position untenable because he is th...

Frankly, CCC is doing what he should do and I bet he is receiving advice on this. In my opinion, CCC should force the FA to write him a letter indicating that he is fired. The fact that he is only "suspended" could be a strategic move linked to how much money the guy can receive. Just spec...
