Re: Questian: When Was the Last Time Nigeria Eagles were Fun to watch?
We have had some exciting games here and there. But without being too nostalgic I haven’t felt that consistent sense of “anything is possible excitement” since we had JJ in the team. Since those days we have improved in terms of less chaotic preparations and player revolts etc..but we haven’t had true Naija swagger for quite a while. These days we can lose at home to Guinea Bissau and just take it as a bad day at the office. At one point (apart from a penalty loss to Cameroon in the Afcon final) I think we had a record of never losing at home for 30+ years from the early 1980s onwards. There’s something to that. Sometimes there’s fine line between Naija arrogance and Naija confidence..but with this new euro-generation of players we miss something.

Aribo balled in that match.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 3:46 pmThat was a fun match. Number of reasons it was good.
1. 433
2. Good pitch
3. Ukraine did not sit back so we get space.

You don’t think we are “missing something” with our home-based teams like CHAN, U23, and U-20s?donadoni wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 9:49 pm We have had some exciting games here and there.

Bottom line is the game is constantly changing and we are not keeping up.
I mean, ordinary correct pitch we no fit provide.
Salary and bonuses we no fit pay…
National team training in the dark is the latest fiasco….

2013 Afcon. All knock out games plus the final
Re: Questian: When Was the Last Time Nigeria Eagles were Fun to watch?
I’m not sure those knock out games were ‘fun’.
Too much tension.
Let’s check the threads..

Keshi's 2013 team was fun to watch. The team was underrated initially due to our poor form going into the tournament. SE failed to qualify for the 2012 edition. But the 2013 team turned out to be a surprisingly good team with good flowing play. The group stage looked terrible, but that was the toughest group in the competition, with the reigning champions and the two teams that made the final coming from that group.
Next, our 2017 team that qualified for the WC was good to watch. They sucked after qualifying, but during the qualifying stages, they were enjoyable to watch. The likes of Balogun, Moses, Iwobi, Ighalo, and Obi were all in top form.
