Re: The 'cat' with nine lives: Ebuehi and Collins get yet another call up. .....

Ebuehi stunk the joint up in his last SE outing. I had him as easily the worst person on the field.

To be honest, he looks a talent and has had a few good games for the SE, but I don’t know that I see him as important for the future and I would be looking form younger players with more of an upside.

Re: How far would we have gone at WC 1998 with Bonfrere?

The man led us to football gold in Atlanta 96. Was it Troussier that was fired after a dismal run of friendly performances against Germany, Netherlands and Yugoslavia and let to the hiring of Bora Multivitamin?

Re: Our Osimhen is better than Halaand

And that’s not to talk about VO’s overall contribution to the team.
Vic makes so many of his own chances while H has his laid on a plate.
I can’t wait for them to go head to head in the Prem. Eye go clear people.

Re: Why the Hiring of Eguavoen as Interim Makes LOGICAL SENSE.....

“Insanity is doing the same thing and…” I don’t even need to finish the quote. It’s insane to hire Eguavon. I love how E2 always looks for the positive spin on everything. It’s very healthy. But if the NFF had $50k/month for FatZero, they had money. The idea that the best option was the option that ...

Re: BREAKING: Peseiro quits as SE coach

No big loss. He did well getting to AFCON final.
Nigeria also refurbished his reputation. He was a failure until us.

The big problem now is the FA will of course make a hash of appointing his replacement.

If I was a football player, I’d pray for Bushboy to “worry” about me. It does wonders for one’s career.

Re: Onyeka vs ManCity

Frank got better as AFCON went on and seems to have brought it to the Prem as well. Was impression against City.

I wonder what Paseiro does when Ndidi and Frank are both available. Double pivot in a 3 man mid?

I hope Coach Cellulite watch this video. You can't just waltz into a stadium with 99% of the fans rooting against you and win.

Re: Three reasons Jose Peseiro should stay as Super Eagles coach amid links with vacant Algeria job

Not sure he can be described as clueless. The final was a mess. Like the team hit a wall. And to be fair, Angola and SA had shown CIV how to counter our defensive 343. I expected a tweak, not to the formation, but to its execution but it didn’t come. But we can’t fault a guy who was 30 mins from win...

Re: Super Falcons List for 2024 Olympic Qualifiers next week

Very good squad. I agree that goalkeeping lacks depth.

Also agree that Echegini will bring real drive in that midfield. Gotti’s Lampard comparison is apt. Lots of powerful running from deep; she’ll add to the goals.

Cameroon are not a shabby side. Should be a good match up.

PSG looking like they’ll get him although he wants to come to the Prem. He still might come to Chelsea which would be a heart move. No European football.
