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...

Re: Did Eze make a mistake ?

Eberechi Eze made a HUGE mistake : he could be our AM, our n.10, our star. Now he is just a forgotten man. He can't anymore switch nationality for FIFA rules. Tosin Adarabioyo also made a mistake, he could be a starter in our defence, but he will never be enough good for England. He can still repre...

Re: NFF makes decision on Peseiro’s contract renewal

Some what, I feel that negotiation continues. This is a last ditch effort to force Peseiro's hands. It is a dangerous tactics but effective if Peseiro has no viable option. The issue here is really about money and the gap between the coach and the NFF is very wide and an agreement may not be close....

Re: NFF poor WC qualification preparations

The friendly should be about testing players not chemistry building. The NFF should name a new coach and schedule a friendly. We need a friendly in March. It would be a mistake not to play one in March. Why are you complaining? Sack Peseiro!, sack Peseiro!!! was all we ever heard from you. Next thi...

Re: THOMAS TUCHEL: End of the Road

And there are examples of coaches that stayed long and achieve nothing and those that within a short time won all that is there to win!

Re: I Finally Watched the Match

What's the stats for the other matches that we played in the tournament? I doubt there were any significant difference. The stats says otherwise. We were embarrassingly poor on the day. How can have just one shot on target and a pitiful 37% possession in an AFCON final yet claim we didn’t play badly...

Ekong or Musa? I've met Musa before, he's really a nice guy but, for me, it has to be Ekong for all the hard work and leadership on the field. He appears to have become the face of the team. In fact, I have a feeling, Musa will support Ekong to lift the trophy. It doesn't bode well for Musa who has...
