Stop beating about the bush.

Tanzania qualified as runners up in their group. Were 2019 AFCON not 24-teams they wouldn't have.

That's just facts and it is taking nothing from the good work he did then. Under this 24-team format we see that they've qualified again.

God bless you. Using Amunike qualified Tanzania lost all the 3 matches even bottled a lead against Tanzania or Congo i think to loose 3:2

Bet Odun note that a couple of countries that qualified under the 16 team format have not made all the 24 format anc, countries such as Gabon, Benin and Togo.

Let's assume this is not a joke. On what basis will he be suing them? Does the NFF have any legal agreement with him stating that they will hire a local coach?

If such an agreement doesn't exist, I can't see what legal basis his lawsuit will be based on.

But this is most probably a light-hearted joke reported out of context by clout chasing media.

Iwobi looked so much better when he played with Onyeka and Ndidi behind him. It freed him from the defensive responsibilities which is not his forté at all.

Shows how much Ndidi was missed in our last AFCON.

The question is this, did the 24 format increase chances for participation?

The answer is evident in the fact that Tanzania qualified as runners up. There is zero shame in that because making it to AFCON is by merit.

2023/24 they qualified also, proving the 2019 was not a stroke of luck. That takes away from the awe of the previous one that's all.

Benin Republic was at 2019. They knocked out Morocco

Yes chances of qualification obviously increased no doubt. That said, despite the "ease", the point is that Tanzania didn't make the 2021 ANC and countries with a better pedigree than Tanzania have not qualified for all the ANCs since the 24 team format started.

Coach of SE opponents South Africa Hugo Broos seems to have made a surprise move to Tunisia.

https://x.com/Africansoccerup/status/1772228840326107521?s=20

So both Nigeria and SA will be without their coaches who led them to success during AFCON.

This makes our encounter all the more interesting.

Super Eagles worthy ?
Wow, good number of spectators in the stadium


We need central attacking midfielders, a solid left back & central defenders
More competition in these positions needed

Onyedika would have filled the void but the coach didn't know what he was doing

According to reports, Bassey and Onyeka are unavailable for tomorrow's game due to injury

I hope to see the combination of Awaziem and Omeruo in tomorrow's game, not just for the defensive duties they provide, but for the crisp ing and seamless transitions to midfield.

Calvin Bassey is another guy, i would have loved to see, if not for injuries.

98. Our chances of ing R16 in both 2010 and 2018 would've been very slim.

Amuneke was not the only indigenous coach that applied for the job, so why do you feel the post was because of Amuneke. You might also say Egbo lobbying hard 😉

You make it seems because Afcon was increased to 24teams that's why he could qualify them, but they are now telling you that several teams that qualify when it was 16team still find it hard to qualify now. Please give the guy him flower weather 24teams or 16teams he qualify for their first Afcon after 32yrs. Weather he has done enough to be picked as SE coach is a different thing all together.

You made a valid point. He's just trying to water down the fact that Amuneke qualify Tanzania for their first Afcon after 32yrs

it's between 98 and 2018. We scored in 2018 and we would have qualified to the ro16. Yakubu later scored after the miss and we still failed to qualify

Basco...what a player Suleiman is! That chap needs to be in the Super Eagles....i dont want shylock agent or Nff official to parade him as an under 17,20 or 23 player please. That boy is a SE material.

When the owner of this site upgrades the site, I would suggest he adds more features such as the mute or block options, also the “private profile” option where a moniker will have the ability to restrict those who can view his posts.

If such features are made available, people like Komekn and many others who come here to cause confusion would be gone from my list. That will also help the case of CharlesEmeka and TheGoodJoe
