Re: CAUTION: SE May Not Qualify for WC IF.....

Yeyeman You keep mentioning that Siasia was banned for match-fixing: As far as I can recall, that claim is not accurate. What is accurate is that Siasia was banned for failing to respond, in a timely manner, to allegations of match fixing. There is a difference. If you state otherwise, can you plea...

Re: “It is the turn of the North” – Shameful! Super Eagles coach selection marred by regional politics

Aren’t you concerned that people would rather have any oyibo than give the position to a Northerner? Very concerned and shameful if you ask me. We have to do better. I don't know how we can work on our collective bias. It is hurting us. I'm very concerned that you don't see how ridiculous this thre...

Re: CAUTION: SE May Not Qualify for WC IF.....

I think his ban ends in July (I believe it was reduced). The main question is why do we think these coaches like working together or it would work? Both men are HC caliber. This is not the NFL where 2 or 3 former head coaches can work together. One can be hired to coach the offense and the other de...

...we persist with this uncertainty.... 1. The NFF needs to confirm Finidi as substantive manager and remove the interim tag, or hire a new manager, based hopefully on a criteria that they may have determined. WHY? Because Finidi, both figuratively and substantively looked like an interim manager, a...

Or was it? He had more defensive players on the pitch and absolutely freed up Iwobi. The MF was super solid today. I don't know it it's Ndidi's return or the formation but jeez, it worked well. Very well. I expect the attack to get better when Aina returns to play RB. Also, it seems like finidi doe...
