Re: Zimbabwe Welcome 4 of their Foreign-Developed Players...

The likes of Cape Verde, Algeria have massively overdone it in the past/present, and Nigeria is at serious risk of overdoing it. The bulk of your team must always be nationally developed, ALWAYS.

Re: Nigerian Team Is Full Of Bench Warmers - Algeria Coach

Even though his statement is inaccurate, there is nothing wrong with him saying what he said. It is a football match and you have to do everything necessary - physically and mentally - to defeat your opponent. Football is a competitive sport.

Re: OLA AINA HULL CITY HIGHLIGHTS

He is comfortable with the ball and can whip in good crosses. He also demonstrates good tactical awareness. Apart from these I don't see what some home based player cannot do here. Cmon dude. Aina is the 2nd best Nigerian RB after Nura but he’s the best LB. king Nura will settle issue on his first ...

Re: Kayode Invited to Camp Vs Algeria/ Argentina

Why is everyone putting Etebo to start ahead of Mikel Agu? If Mikel Agu does not start, John Ogu will probably start ahead of Etebo. Etebo is not good enough especially in midfield and I think Rohr sees that too.

Re: Oliseh struggled as a coach for the SE

Keshi, Oliseh and SSS can complain about the whole world if they want. Fact remains that they were all their own worst enemy, and were all their own greatest obstacles for success. They all chose to play rubbish players over better ones. You cannot succeed like that and we all heard nonsense about ...

Re: See the goal Pantilimon conceded against Las Palmas

We all want Uzoho to succeed at Deportivo but not at the expense of someone else being belittled. No need to belittle Pantilimon. Hopefully Uzoho wins back his place. Still so many games left this season.

Chidiebere is quite a surprise call up, would have expected his brother Kelechi to have been called up, anyone aware of Chidiebere's form and position that he plays? Seen him play once this year. Played as a defensive/holding midfielder. very good range of passing and is not scared of a tackle too....

I liked his clap back. The guy interviewing was insinuating Rohr had not coached a big team and big players before Nigeria and he made them understand he had coached Zidane, Dugarry and Lizarazu.

Re: England Wants SE

quite frankly we should not play another match in Nigeria until the next qualifiers for the ANC.

Re: Bruce Arena is USA's Onigbinde

I also think he is not good enough tactically. I did not see the full game, but from the highlights I saw and the line up, it looked like an attack minded team looking for a win away from home when all they needed was 1 point to qualify. I don't think Klinsmann would have lost that game.

Re: Alex IWobi

It's strange how everyone seems to think he is not physically strong enough to play in the middle when one of his strengths is his physicality. The guy can protect/shield a ball from now till next year. I think we are judging based on his facial looks and how he talks. The guy is really strong
