Re: Why the Hiring of Eguavoen as Interim Makes LOGICAL SENSE.....

It seems you work for the NFF, Chief Enugu -- their staff could not have done a better job.

Re: BREAKING: Peseiro quits as SE coach

If this turns out to be true and given that we have only two points of out a maximum of six, it would take a miracle of Ivory Coast proportion to qualify for the WC. I don't think this Peseiro dude is a good coach. Our administrators rarely want the best for the country. This man has used Nigeria to...

Re: We didn't lose the final because of tactics

Wow! So many solid analysts and almost-coaches on this forum. Lots of interesting perspectives. At the end of the day, the SE did not win AFCON.

Re: Tinubu confers national honours on Super Eagles, gifts them plots of land in FCT

I like that he hosted them -- they deserve the recognition. But why is it that in Nigeria, we always do the same thing? God forgive me, but most of these guys would be in their seventies and eighties before they see these so called plots of land. Why not just give them some monetary gifts like the o...

Re: Why do our politicians constantly go visit the team in the dressing room during a tournament

But Nigerian culture in general favours position over process. Western societies favour process over position. So it makes sense in Nigeria to always put your face everywhere even if it disrupts the process. Nigerian leaders are closer to traditional monarchs than elected public officials. Our lead...

Re: Ivory Coast Shouldn't have Won!

They thoroughly deserved their win. I think most of you arr missing his point. He is not saying they didn't earn the win. He is saying why should such a lowly team from the group have been allowed to qualify for the next round. The third place best sides is what he is questioning. It is sort of pec...

Ivory Coast Shouldn't have Won!

How could a country that lost a game by four goals to nothing end up claiming to be the best in the continent? How could a country that LOST two of three matches still end up lifting the trophy? I don't think the point system makes any point or any sense, to be honest. The idea of giving third place...

Re: Thank You SE

Let's be grateful to the boys that represented the country very well. They deserve to be commended. Many of them had options, but they chose to represent us, and they have done well. If our country were a country that learns, we would take the lessons from this tounament home to improve the next tim...

Hahahaha... So now, it has become una VP, Tobi? Coming so close actually makes me a bit painful. The coach let these boys down in two big ways: i) the tactics today was just cowardly and flat -- he killed the killer instincts in the team; ii) the failure to rotate the players was clear today as it s...

The players were not overwhelmed in any way. They played to instructions. Poor instructions.

After the loss. This Nigeria squad is world cup level, and when they qualify, I expect the team to do very well. They played really well during the tournament. There are a lot of things that can be built on. The defense and attack are superb and the midfield is almost complete. I believe with a few...

Re: Hosts in AFCON Finals

I don't think home advantage was why the Ivoriens won today! They played a SE team that was poorly coached. The so called home advantage was actually poor because the entire stadium was silent until they got their equalizer. Had the SE been well-coached and strategized, this match would not have tur...

If Peseiro wants to stay. He can't be fired until after world cup 2026. If they fire him. The NFF will owe him 2 years of salary. That is the kind of contract they signed. The same fools wanted to give him a contract extension after the group stages. I wonder why Nigeria has very dumb people at the...
