Last time out, Ladan Bosso took an all Northern team to embarrass himself. This time around, he appears to have learnt his lesson and called up players from the southern part.
But seriously, Bosso doesn't deserve 2nd or 3rd chances. He's a yesterday's man. I don't mind having a foreign coach for the U20s if we don't have capable grassroot coaches.
Kai Barry,did I hear you say foreign coach for U20,na you go give us money to pay o....even to pay super eagles coach as at when due na issue.

How come Musa hasn't yet publicly announced his retirement from the national team?
Didn't he say that the last AFCON would be his last with the team?
Abi is he planning to play the AFCON qualifiers too?

I laughed at you saying that business man learned a lesson well maybe bad business lessons as his northern boy's didn't deliver so he felt remorse and had to do a reshuffle to see what business would look like this time, and the only thing that got him the second chance is being the president of the coaches association which is part of the Congress that elect the nff president, so it more like him highjacking a slot to him which will later be called opportunity for local coachs in the national team, bunch of rogues full our football house and more jokes on them when the various age grades keeps on not developing undecided as a result of thier usual recycling of business mans tagged as coaches cool

Even their coach is being owned many months salary..... But he is still coaching them freely..Even qualified them for the world cup..
It's a pity that the sport sector that would have been a very good avenue for empowering youths in the country is being run by too many selfish and incompetent individuals...
Imagine NYSC budgetary allocations is more than sports,meaning government don't even really care but for some that love the games suffer for it.....see wailings after we failed to qualify for WC.

Baba you and world class....sincerely we don't have one.I was then expecting Wilfred Ndidi but he need to do more.Hopefully to see Osimehn soon as world class,depends the way he carry himself on and off the fields......anytime I see Sallah and Mane,am always asking myself,why not Nigerian.

Just few days ago,I saw comparison between Drogba and Aiyegbeni and I was like what?the same Drogba became the first African inducted ino EPL Hall of Fame.

It is time to face the reality that our payers are not yet there.....it takes talent and discipline to be a world class player cos it's season in season out performance.

How can you blame Musa for not announcing his retirement? You should blame the idiot coach for inviting an out of form player. If Musa is being forced on the super eagles, our coach should inform the general public of such discrepancies. Enough is enough, it is time that super eagles selection be based on merit and our coaches owe us explanations for undesirable invites

Osimhen scored a goal (albeit offside) with the only decent chance he got in the game but these people want to blame him for heaven and earth, they forgot Shehu Abdullahi was manning our midfield that day grin

Stop lying to yourself. Osimehn got 1 Half chance in game one and 3 half chances in game 2 that he lackadaisically wasted doing sangalo. If you want to be referred to as World class, you must learn how to convert Half chances or Create goal scoring opportunities for yourself. Please, name me 1 world class striker that doesn’t convert half chances or cannot create goal scoring opportunities for himself? I didn’t say that world class strikers do not miss half chances. The fact that, he insulted a legend that was trying to correct him shows that, he hasn’t learned his lessons. Personally, I want a striker similar to “Emenike” in the SE just incase our opponents pack the bus

When have u seen it done in the NBA?

Jordan was injured for game one and he just came back last game although he didn'tplay. He is definitely not a terrible defender those fans are tripping with that one. There is a good chance he will start a game in this series. The coach normally starts him when Giannis or Kris is missing. Plus he offers a big body that can be thrown at DeRozan who was on fire last game and he can also rebound at a good clip.

The world will definitely see the quality of Jordan Nwora in this playoffs. His point guard Jrue Holiday just loves him to death, says Jordan is his favourite player in the NBA and then u have big brother Giannis. I believe he will take a big step in this playoffs. He averaged almost 8 points and 3 rebounds during the season but I believe if things go well he will average at least 15 points and 6 rebounds in the playoffs.

This is what to expect when he starts


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9KbAoTuC5g

I love this your optimism about Jordan oo. But I think it's too fast to conclude. This is just his first true season where he is playing. Last season he was quite fringe on the play offs. I think he is still developing , plus coming back from an injury might play a factor. He would get decent time and as a shooter he will make a couple of doubles. What's left is for the bigger players like Giannis to be injury free and carry the team. This time without the man who bailed them out at critical times in the playoffs last season. I'm talking about middleton. I mean bigger players in the level of nwora like ha morant are using this playoff to equally gain some experience. And it's been very difficult for them so far simply because its the playoffs. No seme-seme

I think Aiyegbeni deserves some good recognition. He played in a less glamorous team but unfortunately 252 games in the EPL, netted 95 goals, while Drogba in 254 games, netted 104 goals.

Much respect to Aiyegbeni. He was high grade.

34 year old cavani is earning 250k weekly at Manure ,dude will happily collect 100k to play at Barca grin

My club is dead but we are 2nd in the table cheesy cheesy cheesy

Frankfurt won Barca 3-2 which was decent ,should we talk about how Emmanuel Dennis and relegated watford put 4 goals past your useless club grin

Atletico Madrid you couldn’t win was taught a serious lesson by 10 man Barca grin

Haaland is not coming to Barca because we cannot afford him ,you that can afford any player of your choice but still can’t get them cheesy cheesy cheesy

If you think Barca and manure are on the same level then keep taking the mpuru mmiri you are taking

You keep spending billions ,it’s 5 years and no single trophy to show for ,should we even talk about when last you won the epl ? When Ronaldo came you all said you will fight for the epl and champions league but what happened ?

Without Ronaldo masterclass you won’t even beat Norwich grin

Name any striker that has played for manure for the past 5 years that’s good like auba half leg grin

Rafael varane has won everything in football and decide to choose manure as his retirement home ,florentino Pérez refuses to increase his salary but your Mumu club carry 320k Dey give am weekly .

Below is the amount your have been spending after you won your last epl and you haven’t won anyone till now

Below is also uefa club rankings base on current form and you think manure are on same level with Barca grin
Wow Madrid has been runinng on profit ni sha. Just image within that time they won like 3 CL yet they've spent the least amount of money. Kudos to Perez or whoever has been in charge all these while

Oya on second thought oga Andrew see gal Galaticos. You no go leave Barca them. Because the future for Barca is not looking it ooo. See Madrid na better team grin

If Bosso and Fatai Amoo were the only coaches who can do a job with the U20s, then we should go foreign. Afterall,Bonfere Jo took our U23s to Atlanta 96 and won gold. Even Ike Shoromu should have been drafted to the U17/20 to unearth a new generation of goalkeepers. We must get it right at that level now. The Super Eagles GK trainer can be outsourced to the incoming gaffer.

At a point Nigerians need to understand we simply lack the man power in critical niches within the sports sector. We are short handed in referees, linesmen, sport s, coaches, stadium security, video analysts, physio, grounds men, stadium facility managers, goalkeeper trainers name it. We simply do not have local solutions to any of aforementioned. Sad but true

It's not too fast at all. Young players shine in the playoffs all the time and Jordan has the exact type of mentality needed to thrive.

Firstly I don't know what you call half chances because it can't be those balls flying behind him that he desperately connected with an overhead kick, Ighalo had a chance like that in the dying minutes of the game but he couldn't move his heavy body lol, even strikers like Haarland and Lewandowski depend on service and no striker is judged without service you are talking about Emenike, what would Emenike would have done with a non existent midfield? Maybe he would have divided himself into 3 and be playing midfield, defence and attack

I think I will call my departure from here a sabbatical and I think it was worth it. Personal apology to Stormtrooper11, you made valid point but us failing to pick the qualification ticket rocked me to my marrows. We have lost a lot but theri was something about this one. It was a ticket that looked easy to me for us to pick but it was clear case of sabotage.

I think it is something I will look past but still in shock from it.

Welcome back, Chief. Glad you decided to stay with the pack.

Everyone felt bad that day. The ticket looked easy, we felt like we were already in Qatar and the draws were mere formalities. It was truly saddening for the Nigerian football fans.

Nevertheless, things happen but our reaction to the issues might determine the aftermath. The loss still hurts but we'll get over it.

Overall, glad "our" tactical genius did not throw in the towel.

Welcome back, Chief.
