Re: ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

Stori. If true, why the effort to revive the career of journeymen coaches? It appears that is the unspoken criteria for selection. The candidate, and the NFF have to share that understanding for all following things to fall in place. In the entire Europe, why hasn't he be given better opportunity th...

If true, then his mission is to get the SuperEagles' fans ready, prepped for his grand exit at the 2026 WC. Hopefully, at the podum.

Re: Randy Waldrum press conference

7/8 clean sheets? That is huge. Our defence is solid especially the goalkeeper. Yep. The shock is that what seems to be very successful for our women's team is also a roadmap for our male team as the AFCON demonstrated. However, on the male side, the fans are up in arms against this very successful...

Re: It is April 7th, the NFF still have not named a coach for the SE

Nff is in serious financial trouble, they owe way more than the $5m they received for Afcon, even 10B that was supposed to be paid by the govt is yet to be remitted to the nff. Players and coaches are still owed for 23 games dating back to 2021 , means they still owe Rohr and his assistants too. As...

Re: Local Coach Advocacy- Like Forrest Gump!

I do think there are quite some valid observations from the pro foreign coach, and pro local coach crowd. It leads me to state we are playing checkers while the NFF are playing chess. Hopefully we will be leading to the same position the NFF are in. How do you sift sense out of nonsense? How do fact...

Re: Nigeria Super Falcons 1 South Africa 0 Live Stream | Africa Olympic Qualifiers

Bad TV coverage/broadcast quality would make the South African coaching staff NOT to review the match, and pick the appropriate lessons.

We are making the same mistake we made when Eguavoen took over from Rohr before the AFCON 2021 (actually played in Jan 2022).
