Re: Afcon 2025 moved to December

How about we just cancel AFCON pata pata so both the EPL and players don't ever worry about losing each other? Imagine an EPL club lose a player to afcon in the busy December period? January 2026 make sense when there will be Euro WCQ Not just a team losing a player but a player losing his place in...

Re: Michael Olise left out of France Euros squad

Next up is Eze, Tosin, Tomori. These guys never learn. It’s too late for Eze, Tomori and Tammy. They’ve been had. Tosin is still holding out but I don’t think he has much of a chance with England. But I guess a young man has a right to dream. You know their own cases will be different. The other gu...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

So Owngoal is saying that a homebased winger will replace Chukwueze if he doesn't recover from injury. And this is how we will fail to qualify. Nonsense like this. We have Tella, Ejuke, Lookman, Olawoyin, Fisayo Bashiru, Dennis, Why on earth would we need some unknown homebased player for this posi...

Re: Pay as you go for assistant coaches

The problem with that is you may struggle to keep the assistants for a reasonable amount of time if they are not properly compensated Not really. For two reasons: 1. These assistants are not "appointed" by the NFF. They are guys who Finidi hand-picked. So clearly, these are his friends wh...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

For me, Finidi's claim that Nigeria should always be on the front foot, based on its attacking talent, will be tested. He appears to have loads of Nigerians who support him on that analysis. But he needs to be reminded that Peseiro started his job believing the same until some poor results forced h...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

There are quite a number of things I would love to see, how he lines up his team both formation-wise and personnel-wise. Having Seyi and Bassey healthy. Who starts at fullback with Aina healthy and taking one spot? Would he play him at RB or LB? Who plays LB? His midfield personnel and alignment. Wi...
