When African heads of state and other leaders don’t like to retire gracefully why do we expect our football players to do so

It would be interesting for someone to do a detailed assessment of the errors of our various goalies in GWG shirt and see which ones are more like one-off bad day at the office vs. core deficiencies that won’t be cured anytime soon

For those who get time - which is not me

Let me add to the “spin” by saying he is also the first Nigerian to make the top 8 not just top 10

I just want to say that if I’m needed for SE goalie I’m ready to don my gloves. I know set at least I got jump and punch that ball somewhere

We seem to have an ongoing issue that good players rise up and then before you know it they fade away again. Some other established teams on the global stage have players that can easily play for a decade and build rapport with others in the team, but for us it’s rare. In earlier days we could attri...

Do you think Sadiq Umar is out of the running for afcon then?

It would be good to have our own version of Odegaard or similar because we have definitely been missing that type of player for quite a while. Iwobi sometimes looks like he could be but lately I’ve seen that he has to run around so much and play deeper than he should in our games because of the othe...

Well KSA tested the defense of the current world champs not so long ago..

Have you guys all forgotten Iwobi because he missed one match due to injury? I see all these various formations being suggested without him

I think being in the SE camp sometimes has an effect on players and they can play better for Nigeria than their current club form

Of course it’s São Tomé and they won’t have anywhere near the time on the ball they had against better teams, but I agree the team did seem more dynamic. Especially up front they made fast decisions about what to do and executed, whether it was a through pass, one two or whatever. In football they s...

Perhaps he will be better outside the UK?

Negotiations still ongoing

Our Osimhen not celebrating much - is it because this game is considered beans for him ?

Football may have evolved but I’m sure not one would say no to a Messi type dribbler in their team today. Him and others like him throughout football history will always have the ability to great chances by creating imbalance - it could be drilling at speed, close control, tricks whatever it takes t...

We have gained so much in discipline and tactical play but our teams have lost the Naija X factor. Sometimes you need someone that can pull off the unexpected dribble and cause chaos in the box. All those crosses are bread and butter for teams like England Anyway they tried - closest any senior Naij...

I agree. We should take the game to them without being too reckless. We haven’t seen the best of the Falcons attacking flair yet and in spite of the 6-1 trashing of China I believe that the English will question themselves if we pressure them Falcons don’t need an out of this world performance to be...

Well they may help Vic by setting the mark of 140m Euro..so any European club must match or beat that

Hope it doesn’t mean Nacho will move to Roma to be benched by Daka again

There is also the possibility that Naija is operating on the basis of 22 player positions + 1 motivator-in-chief position = 23 players called up. Musa May be playing the role of the M-I-C, ie the thinking may be that 22 players + Musa overall will do better than 23 players without Musa. I’m not sayi...

I hope they will be extending the same public social media poll when selecting the NFF leadership

I’m glad somebody else sees what’s I’ve been seeing for years. You will see so called “minnows” like Equatorial Guinea and Guinea Bissau putting in more effort and intensity into games than SE and getting results. In world football high intensity and 100% commitment are the basics - after that you s...

In the Sierra Leone game I noticed the new revitalized iwobi dashing across the field at high speed to close down danger several times with an energy and commitment level that was very inspiring. Osimhen we already know for bringing the same. Then at the other end of the spectrum there were some pla...
