Local commentators are forever entertaining. Obinna Nwobodo is 27 years old, that means he was 19yrs old when they won the title.

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Finidi did not invite Sadiq Umar for Super Eagles

While I cannot vouch for any of these stories, some of them make sense. Here are my thoughts. 1. Remember NFF, up until a week or so before the games, remained engaged in contract negotiation with Peseiro. 2. Note that FIFA rules require that invitations are sent to players and their clubs no less ...

Re: DOES THE 94 SET HAVE A CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDER ?

Nature abhors a vacuum. We haven’t really done anything significant since 94 stylistically even though Keshi’s 2013 team matched their record. The 94 team looked better doing it because we had never reached that level before. 30yrs later we still haven’t surpassed it. What do you want them to say? ...

I will forever be grateful for Finidi sending us to our first WC with his goal.

Re: Victor Boniface gains Premier League interest

I like the PL but he should remain in the Bundesliga especially with Xabi saying that he’s not going anywhere. He balled out this year but he needs to come back next year and do it gain. That would lead to a much bigger transfer fee.

The vultures have surrounded Finidi. Now there’s a report on OGN that Lookman and a few players were so upset with Finidi for not playing that they refused to shake his hand after the game. If true, we haven’t heard of this kind of dissent in the team for a long long time. Also, it turns out that F...

Especially if we hope to make the world cup in our murky fixtures against tough opponents in South Africa and Benin republic.

The same Herve Renard that won an Afcon by ...

If Finidi keeps the job he will drop some players . You know this how? The man didn't even play his bench. Sometimes we can't seem to shake our ugly past.

Re: 10 lessons we can learn from the loss to Mali

I think Finidi should be retained as an assistant coach though! It depends on who they hire. If it is another journey man mercenary coach. Finidi should resign. It doesn't help his career being an assistant under that situation. If I were him. I would quit and look for another job on the continent ...

This was a really bad performance. Add Osayi to the list. His last few SE performances have been underwhelming. Lots of blame to go around. I signed out on him during the Afcon.
