Re: Why have our last two foreign coaches been defensive?
May be the players are as good as the fans think? Thanks bamenda . Our best players are defenders, and most of our offensive players are overhyped and selfish. In an era of quick coordinated possession football, you can't have attacking players with bad first-touch control of the ball, inaccurate p...

Re: So how can Peseiro fix the Eagles.
This coach did a great job with this average team. Time is too short but I want to believe Nigeria has far better players than most of those in this squad. The goal within the year should be to plug the gaps by aggressively scouting locally and internationally for talent. In my view, I was impresse...

South Africa scrapes through with the third-place Bronze win.

Re: South Africa vs Dr Congo (0-0)
South Africa will definitely pass themselves to stupor, a team that can do the intricate 1-2 passes and build up play well yet can't finish to save their lives...hope this will be the case when we meet them again in June for the WCQ. honestly, they magically improved against SE. I am still trying t...

Re: South Africa vs Dr Congo (0-0)
SA seems to be hoping for another penalty shoot-out. Lots of possession but no shot on goal.

Re: It is time for the NFF to launch Operation Columbus
This is symptomatic of the cluelessness that afflicts Nigerians; misplaced priorities.

Re: What Manner of Defence is Peseiro Putting Up for Zaidu?
Aina is good but can be careless at times. Look at his attitude after the Angolan
went through the defenders and took that shot that hit bounced of the upright.
He certainly was not interested in at least chasing him.

Re: Boniface fit in current system
If fans are complaining while the team is winning, I wonder what hell
will break out in a loss. It's been said that, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I guess our resident ITK coaches just want to add some salt, pepper, and a little more heat.

Re: What Manner of Defence is Peseiro Putting Up for Zaidu?
After all these rantings, not one of those against Zaidu named a credible replacement sitting on the bench. Which is why the coach keeps fielding him. With all the criticism of the player, one would think tons of goals have been from his errors, and that he has zero impact on the matches. Some peopl...

Re: No group winners in the last 4
This confirms the level of the competition, especially when one recalls
that Ivory Coast sneaked into the knockout round with two points.
The big surprises are Mauritania and Gambia. Two teams that played good
football and can only improve.

Re: Mbappe to Real Madrid
If Mbappe truly ends up at Real Madrid, lions will grow horns before they add Osimhen.
Arsenal need an Osimhen-type player, but they can't afford him. Liverpool might be a fit
depending on who the next coach is.

Re: Pesseiro triggers contract renewal
Thank God 'CE coaches and administrators' have no influence non Pesseiro's fate.
All this talk, and people still can't see why SE would probably not get any high level
coach - incompetent NFF and affordability. We cannot be aspiring for a Lamborghini
coach with McDonalds earning and bad organization.

Re: Hope Peseiro doesn't jinx us. Gotta use Iheanacho & Ahmed !!
If we can just learn to be less selfish, make accurate passes in the box, and stop being overzealous
when chances for shooting are present, we will be ok. I can't believe this is still an issue at this level.

Re: SE from the Point of View of Angola's Strengths and Weaknesses
...And that will happen if we do not respect the opposition.
We cannot afford to be missing too many glaring chances, nor should we indulge
in Latin shenanigans with the Angolans who are the African version of Ecuador.
