Re: This is Nigeria's new kit??!

https://twitter.com/EaglesTrackerNG/status/1769685794506059966 From a strictly design perspective, I love both designs. But I still strongly feel that dark colours including green put players and teams at a subliminal disadvantage. We just need statistically significant figures to prove it. Just fr...

Re: Reliance on foreigners has stunted growth of African coaches –Nsien

Nsien would be a great choice but he needs to watch what he’s saying so the Nff doesn’t eliminate him from contention. If I were him I’d just pretend to be a FC to get the job. Nff already said they want a FC and he’d actually be more likely to get it unless he talks himself out of it. His pitch sh...

Re: The Phantom Disregard for the Midfield by Nigerian Coaches…

Nigerian coaches, wether local or foreign, have been endlessly berated for their cluelessness with regards to their midfield call ups, with many here insisting that not enough midfielders are invited to the various squads.

That says a lot about both players.

Re: Iwobi is GOOD

I watched the game. Iwobi has matured so much. He can play from anywhere on the pitch. The old Iwobi would gas out in 45 mins, but this new Iwobi runs straight for 90 mins. He gives splitting passes that confused opposing defenders. Bassey is very solid. He hit the crossbar with a powerful shot tha...

Re: Why hasn't Maduka Okoye been called up?

If our goal is to qualify for the WC and reach the semis, a goalie who starts in a top 5 league is a requirement. You won’t bamboozle top teams with a NPFL goalie. Nwabali,is a top goalie but to match our aspirations he’ll have to move to at least France by the time the WC starts if we qualify. Unt...

So he cannot switch anymore? According to the new FIFA eligibility rules, he can still switch but do we want a player who is only picking Nigeria because his first option did not want him?
