Re: Guys, something very dark is happening in our football
Even coach Prime recognized that if you're serious about competing, you play the very best - he made that crystal clear in his 'I'm coming' speech at Univ. of Colorado. Not only did he bring with him his 'foreign contingent', he also recruited heavily to help him improve the lot of the team and didn...

Re: Guys, something very dark is happening in our football
But don't individuals make up the team? If the individuals in a team are poor, doesn't that translate to the team being poor? You keep skirting around the fact that most, if not ALL the NPFL players have been scouted and most have been deemed poor. That is why the so called best HB league players ty...

Re: Guys, something very dark is happening in our football

And how many of our Europe based players have won their league titles, Europa championship, or Champions League title since that is now the criteria for selection to the National team?

Re: Guys, something very dark is happening in our football
They may be average to you, but the 4 outfield players you named play for club sides in some of the top leagues around the world. Same cannot be said about the HB players, who have little or zero hope of ever playing in those top clubs. Regarding Adeleye, anyone who’s been on this forum for some tim...

Re: Guys, something very dark is happening in our football
And the HB ones do? I guess their overall performances at various WAFU B and CHAN tourneys over the past 10 yrs have been great. Not to mention the fantastic performances of the scrubs who’ve been foisted upon the coaching crew? For the record, Keshi won AFCON 10 yrs ago! Lolly, riddle me this… How ...

Re: Guys, something very dark is happening in our football
Lolly, riddle me this… How does the 3HB rule benefit Nigeria in anyway, shape or form, especially considering: 1. All the very best Nigerian players ply their trades overseas. 2. Most, if not all HB players worth their salt have been scouted and are likely enroute to a club overseas or overland (SA)...

Re: OFFICIAL: Michael Folorunsho Signs For Verona
When was Nwakali ever a benchmark for the SE? This kid has for the most part of his career played in the Serie A and is currently doing so. Remind us which club or league is Nwakali playing in again? Would he actually make us better? Have never watched him play but I'm suspicion of a player that bou...

Re: Kelechi Nwakali…
Its like most here have refused to address the elephant in the room regarding Nwakali. The sad truth is the guy is not good enough, but most folks here don't want to accept that. Clubs want a play who bursts his guts for 90 mins and this guy has demonstrated over the past 8 yrs that he simply cannot...

What about the Canadian girls that intentionally stomped on Ohale and got away scotch free! Day light Robbery! That stomp was intentional and malicious. Not even a yellow card. So, that said, I have very little or no sympathy for the Canadian girl. It was unintentional ... like the Iwobi vs Tunisia ...

Re: Nicole Payne signs for PSG women
She didn’t make the team because she missed the last 5 friendlies due to academic commitments. Luckily, Randy capped her during WAFCON and I believe she is on track to exceed her sister’s accomplishments, especially with such a high profile team. Congrats to her! She didn’t make Waldrum’s squad. The...

Re: Super Falcons Camp Updates
Question is: how many trophies has Nigeria won with Musa being there since 2010 when he made his debut?
Fact is that Musa's presence no longer benefits the National team.

Re: Destiny Udogie - Udinese’s Teenage Wingback
My philosophy is that in as long as these kids have a SINGLE drop of Nigerian blood in them, Nigeria has EVERY living right to get them to play for Nigeria, in as long as the feeling is mutual. That dumb mentality of self pride (HB only) only gets you last place! Those kids are OURs and we need to g...

Re: COACH WALDRUM TELLS IT LIKE IT IS
Randy brought in Jennifer Echegini in place of Okobi and Debbie Abiodun in place of Regina O’tu. For the record, both of them started the match against Japan, Ngozi as AM and Debbie as DM. The notion that Debbie was selected instead of Okobi is just plain silly. https://youtu.be/TqQVRGK4iFc Ngozi Ok...

Based on available data, Olisa Ndah has only played one match for his club in 2023 (25 mins). There was a reported injury that prevented his transfer to a...

Re: 4 New Defenders for SE?
At least, these four central defenders - Adarabioyo, Torunariga, Aiwu and Osho ALL have a verifiable body of work and pedigree, in comparison to our infamous 'Yum Yum' who some of us are still scratching our heads as to how he ended up being invited to the SE.

Re: COACH WALDRUM TELLS IT LIKE IT IS
Or could it have been for the obvious fact that she was 'displaced' by a better player in the name of Jennifer Echegini? As much as I love Okobi and was deeply shocked she didn’t make the WC squad, I think her comments come across as sour grapes. Unless, of course, she knows her omission is for pers...

Re: $30,000 Minimum GUARANTEED Every Player At FIFA 2023 WWC
I really think this was a big mistake on the part of FIFA in announcing this package the way they did. For one, in the case of African countries, it may lead to coaches and associations trying to influence the selection so they may get a cut. The NFF has already started posturing that they will insi...
