Re: The real Mourinho is available…

The idea of kings and queens still runs in the blood of those peasants who can't help but reminisce about the good old days of the crown. Mourinho will always look dated if he cannot get the types of Drogba or Milito (two very efficient lone strikers) to help his heavily defensive structure. It is w...

Re: Nigeria team is not good

Now all the ITKs are seeing that the game is beyond mere talent, There is parity in the game worldwide,
and especially in Africa. It's easy to note the teams that are well prepared for AFCON, and are focused on
the agenda. Our SE is not, and it shows. No need to deceive ourselves.

Re: Yusuf on his debut

The mentality in our whole system - political, sports, economy, ...etc - is having too many cooks in the kitchen, with those in the know not having a say, and those who do not sow wanting to reap. This mentality have seeped and marinated our football, and worse most of us fans see things only from a...

Re: New Brazil manager: Dorival Jr leaves Sao Paulo to take job

So the rumor about Ancelotti is just that. Brazil has similar football issues with Nigeria. Individual and team discipline are the main culprits. Both teams need coaches with discipline based on team focus and players following scripted agenda. Without remorse I say Neymar is not an asset to Brazil,...

Re: Friendly: Nigeria 0-2 Guinea FT

With all the overhyped players on display, and we still couldn't score? That's quite an indictment on all concerned - players and coach.

Re: Boniface sweating to be fit for AFCON

If Musa disappears tomorrow, these ever-complaining ITKs will find someone else to blame.
It's tough preparing for AFCON with these types. Funny thing is that none of them qualify to

Re: 1994 Super Eagles v 2024

Please don't count your chicks before they hatch.
1994 SE is well established and we know how they performed while 2024 SE
is unknown and has yet to play any match. Thus nothing to compare here.

Re: Are the Super Eagles of Nigeria good enough to win Afcon 2024?

Assemblage of talents alone does not equate to success in team sport. The coach should be able to make individuals complement each other, and operate with an agenda of team discipline and focus. Also, we should be realistic about AFCON being a competition and not an exhibition, with other teams not ...

Re: Peseiro's explanation of his squad selection

Bassey, Ajayi, Omeruo, Awaziem, Frederick MF Ndidi, Onyeka, Nwakili, Yusuf, Nwobodo, Daga FW Osimhen, Boniface, Moffi. C...

Re: Ahmed MUSA 'Wryly' Responds to Vancity.....

Discerning minds know that most Musa haters have other agenda beside football.
I see many overhyped players on the list that Musa's critics choose to ignore, but
will allow those inviting him and these others to take the blame if the team does
not compete as should at AFCON 2024.
