Nigeria no longer relevant in football – John FashanuBy John Owen Nwachukwu on January 9, 2017
john_fashanu
Nigerian-born former England striker, John Fashanu, says Nigeria has lost its weight in world football following series of poor performances at international competitions.
Fashanu cited lack of quality players as the reason for the downward trend in international reputation for the country.
The Super Eagles will be missing at the African Cup of Nations twice in a row and the former Wimbledon forward pointed at the country’s poor grassroots development for the slow and pain death.
Fashanu told Goal, “We ask ourselves where are the potentials? Where are the Jay Jays, Kanus and the Fashanus – where are they?
“They are not coming out now. Sometimes you need to take one step back to move forward.
“Because right now there are lot of potentials but there is no international quality we need to breakthrough.
“And if it is not there, we are surely not going to get recognition. What do we rank now? The ranking of Nigeria is currently between 50 to 60 in the world.
“I’m sorry to say that we are irrelevant. And when it comes to football we should be right up there in the top 15 to 20.
“We want to see some of the potentials and let’s not keep calling it potentials but let’s see some stuff come back again.”

Re: Nigeria no longer relevant in football – John Fashanu
Every Nigerian or Super Eagles's fans (supporters) already know what Fashanu is saying, but what different does saying such a thing makes now?
And the BIBLE says: The race is NOT for the swift, neither is the battle for the strong nor ... but time and chance makes them all.

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: Nigeria no longer relevant in football – John Fashanu
Talk like this is just meant to make Fashanu relevant again. Its inconsequential

There are always those who seek to bring the irrelevant into discussions.
Sincerely, I have never met any non-Nigerian that have brought this name up when we discuss football.
Abeg, carry go!!!

That made him sound irrelevant,if he is claiming that he's up there with Okocha and Kanu,I can only agree with his point but he's only a Wimbledon legend!kalani JR wrote:He said "where are the Fashanu". Dis man wan kill me die!

He actually said worse. He said: " Where are the Jay Jays, Kanus and the Fashanus"kalani JR wrote:He said "where are the Fashanu". Dis man wan kill me die!
The man is non compos mentis. You can't take him or anything he says seriously.

Fashanu IDs himself as Nigerian.
He is also eligible to be a citizen and is a national of Nigeria.
