Re: Nig 4- Egypt 1 pks —U20 Afcon

Congrats to the boys and coach. This is likely to worst Nigerian win to ever medal in any tournament but they’re not too far off. Defense is good , MF is okay defensively but the attack is terrible in attacking, passing, ball recovery. We need anew set of attackers for the WC. NEGATIVE; The team th...

Re: Nig 1- Egypt 1 —U20 Afcon

Yes, Nigeria won on PKs but this team really should have won this by a wide margin during regulation time. Not really. They had very poor forwards. How can you win a match by "a wide margin" with such poor forwards? They only won one match in regulation time in the whole competition. That...

Re: AFCON U20 Semifinal: South Africa 1 Nigeria 0 FT

In 5 games Nigeria u20 only score 3 goals and yet, some clowns here think this is "ok". Since when did a Nigerian team find it difficult to score goals in Africa?? Instead of asking critical questions like why our football is so sh$%t nowadays, they attack the very people who ask these cr...

Re: Ahmed Musa returns, to lead Super Eagles against Black Stars in London

If true, we're not serious as a football nation and don't deserve to be in the World Cup Ahmed Musa is still officially the captain. A player who hasn't been part of the mix for such a long time is being kept as a captain, but outside the team. This is unprecedented in Nigerian football. So we have...

Re: Why is Daniel Bameyi still playing u20

I know Mallam Bameyi is quite a controversial player but he's a solid/no-nonsense old school type of defender, surely there must be something coaches see in him that stands out. We need tough defenders in the SE and if we can produce them from this U20 set, then it's a win. The Goal keepers also lo...

Re: Nigeria’s World Cup hopes get a boost as Zimbabwe relocate key South Africa qualifier to Rwanda

Zimbabwe really must feel they have a chance moving to a qualifying spot despite being at 4 points. They will be 6 points behind South Africa after the expected 3 point deduction from South Africa. Moreover, after traveling to almighty Nigeria to secure a 1-1 draw they may well have a different nar...

Re: World Cup Qualifying prediction..SE makes it or crumbles?

In situations like these, you need a lucky break, but you have to play your part right. For the 2002 WCQers, we got a lucky break when Ghana beat Liberia at home. We played our part then by winning all our remaining games. In this case, I fear we've already had that lucky break with SA potentially l...
