Eze's peers and footballers like Okocha and Kanu would have presented a more compelling narrative.Dammy wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 9:39 amPart of the fault lies with Pinnick. This boy attended a training camp with the SE in London and went to visit Pinnick in his London home.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 5:17 am I am still laughing at that fool Eze.
Guy could have really built a legacy with SE.
He would rather twerk to "God save the King" in meaningless matches.
Those were missed opportunities and if the NFF President cannot convince a player to switch allegiance to Nigeria, who else can do it?
It’s a shame because down the line, he will realise the opportunities that he missed just like his predecessors like Agbonlahor, Ehiogu, Fashanu etc
I wrote about this years ago.
Besides setting up a proper workplan for this, the NFF Chairman should have no DIRECT role in this.
You have to use people who can speak to the player in their own language as well as the parent. The coach then closes the case with his vision for the player...
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Eligibility and desire na 2 different things. Reading some of the posts reminds me of the legwork Pinnick did meeting these players. Can't imagine Gusau doing the same.Synopsis wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 11:09 pm Liverpool midfielder Cutis Jones has backed the Super Eagles of Nigeria to win tomorrow's Africa Cup of Nations final match against the host Cote d'Ivoire, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The 22 year old has stepped up this season for the table toppers following the sale of the midfield duo of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho making a total of 16 appearances with one assists and one goal.
With Nigeria through to the AFCON final, Jones posted his message of goodwill to the Nigerian team telling them to do it for us, referring to himself as a Nigerian confirming reports that he is of Nigerian descent.
From our checks he has been following the team since the start of the tournament and just like many Nigerians posted his relief when they got past South Africa in the semi final via a 4-2 penalty shoot out win.
Jones is of Nigerian descent through his grandmother and has represented England at U21 level. Considering his recent performances, Jones could be called up to Gareth Southgate's squad for this summer's Euros.

Guasu might delegate that responsibility to a famous ex-international or the coach.greg wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 4:48 pmEligibility and desire na 2 different things.

We may need to look into Cole Palmer's background too.
