Re: Reliance on foreigners has stunted growth of African coaches –Nsien
Is our primary objective to win or to grow African coaches? While some of you may say both are not mutually exclusive, Mr Nsien’s comments implies they are. Growing local coaches implies they’re not where they need to be. I would argue that we likely have some coaches comparable to those we’d find ...

Re: Bright Osayi Gives A Fan The Beating of His Life
This is a tricky one. I think that if he is banned, he has a good case for an appeal. His life was theoretically at risk. But I can also see the case for banning him

Re: THINKING OF COACHING......
I write here to remind everyone that there are very few Managers that are real game changers i.e. those who are able to really transform teams. For a great number of managers, they are just average doing very little to impact a team and their fortunes will fluctuate based on talents at their dispos...

Re: Segun ODEGAMI Denounces colonial Mentality and calls for Nigerian-born Manager for SE....
I agree with Odegbami that we should hire a local, BUT he implies we’ve never hired locals before. We have and have had varying degrees of success. It’s not about colonial mentality really On salary…the issue is that Nigerian coaches simply don’t command the kind of pay that foreign coaches do. The...

Re: I don't think Nuno likes Awoniyi...
Since Nuno took over, I've noticed Taiwo's playing time as declined. Yes, he was injured for some time, but besides that, I fear the new manager doesn't fancy him much. Last week, he inexplicably took him off after the 1st half. Today he is benched for Origi!! Imagine that!! Origi of all people!! H...

Re: YOU MAY HATE VANCITYEAGLE BUT .......
Towards Iwobi’s last months in Arsenal and in his first years at Everton, there was no game he played for those teams where fans of those teams did not flood social media to abuse him relentlessly. It was sharp and non-stop and didn’t start to change until Lampard came to Everton. He didn’t quit fo...

Re: YOU MAY HATE VANCITYEAGLE BUT .......
Not quite sure what the difference is between doing it here and doing it on social media.
But I do think that football players/public personalities need thicker skin though.

Re: Iwobi: There will be more UK-born Players in the SE
One challenge Nigerian raised players are going to have in future is that the kids in the diaspora have a more straightforward pipeline to top clubs. I think Nigeria has made strides in youth soccer development, given the many academies that exist, BUT a 19 year old Nigerian kid may still be trainin...

Re: NOT DISCUSSED JUST YET: Key aspect of Nwabali's game....
Nwabali really has shown something that we have yet to see from Super Eagles goalies in history. I mean in history. He sweeps efficiently behind the defense. It comes with risks but he has not failed as of yet. He positions himself cleverly behind the defensive line to sniff out and snuff out any d...

Re: Super Eagles players extend condolences to fans who tragically passed away during yesterday’s game
Omo after the game went from 2-0 to 1-1 that was it for me until after the PKs shootouts. Even at that my mind was in the game wondering what was going in. I kept asking my friend what was going on. Pacing up and down in the house and praying too. Omo tension no good for body mehn You’re lucky you ...

Re: Super Eagles players extend condolences to fans who tragically passed away during yesterday’s game
The BIG question for me is WHY does it evoke such extreme emotion? I remember as a school boy and university student, I would be shaking before a SE game, whether at home or in the National Stadium Surulere. I also remember several times when I would just grab a complete stranger beside me when the...

I say I have a clue of what they [our people] went through before they departed. My heart was beating fast and heavy during the game as well. Just when the regulation time for the game was ending, I bailed, turned off the TV and let the Cybereagles' forum. The only time I was able to return and ind...
