Some just don't want to accept it Kanu was very average for eagles(6 Afcons 3 WCs with no goal,even talking assists,Odegbami and Siasia are better than him,though talking Europe football career he is the best but Osimhen is breaking that record soon.I just hope players like Osimhen, Lookman made it to WC so that old records can be broken....

Kanu's heart surgery issue raised his profile and popularity astronomically because of the miracle of his coming back to the game after such an incident. Remove that, and I agree with you that players like Odegbami, Siasia and even Amokachi were way higher than Kanu in of impact for the Super Eagles.

MetalJigsaw:
Don't pray for such to happen to our country. Its a very bad thing.

Let the Eagles players show workings on the pitch, that's all! What's the use of praying if you can't beat Zimbabwe and Rwanda at home

Kog45:
Do you want to hear Koko our LBs were very average and to be candid talking modern tactics they are not better than Aina as LB.....the only mistake he made was not substituted tired Osayi for Bruno which would have made Aina to switch but guess what Aina gave us the beautiful assist, meaning he got it right.

Drew that match was just the only minus

My logic is not about the averageness of our LB. My logic is that if you play Aina on the right, you utilize him at his best. See what eventually happened: we used Aina on the LB and got a goal but it was through the right side of our defense that Zimbabwe scored.

Kog45:
I think it's time for some of us here to understand how things are being done regarding football friendlies or invitational tournament.....the 4 nations tournament is out of FIFA window and you are expecting NFF to invite grade A players.

The Mexican friendly you are talking about gave us Stanley Nwabali and Olisa Ndah,sometimes it's not about winning but exposing your players and fact Mexican football federation lacks fund to cover for our grade A players.....the second friendly saw mixing of foreign and home base and this was due to fund made available by Mexican football federation.

Yes NFF is annoying but getting this invitation tournament is good for the future

It's just 2 games but the CHAN team could use it as good exposure. Exposure also for Coach Daniel and Fidelis.

With at least 5 games by the next round of qualifiers, Chelle could unearth someone useful for the SE

MetalJigsaw:
Was it Nigerians or NFF that dismissed him? NFF shoyld have done better

Done better by meeting his asking fee?

It was highly irresponsible of Osasu in his capacity as a reputable journalist to make April fool pranks out of such a sensitive matter as Chelle's contract. He ought to be sensitive to the fact that bloggers will run with the news without recourse to the fact that it's just a prank. I just saw this news online 👇👇

Another issue is that after that friendly, some of the players that participate might no longer be available for CHAN cus they would have gotten deals abroad...


No matter how we look at it, NPFL players always use any national team call up as n opportunity to Japa...
Our league is in shambles so everybody wants to move....

kingphilip:

E be like na wetin pain you for that Zim defeat be that.

You no just wan leave this Aina left back issue at all.

Bro, e pain me. I wasn't comfortable with it even in the match against Rwanda. Then he repeated it again. Is Bruno that bad?

Odunayaw:

Either that or hiring a better coach. This coach has a history of conceding late goals and he only seems to know about an all-out attack without knowledge or concern about defenseive approach. He also places too many of our players out of position

I have forgotten this angle

I think CAF needs to change the eligibility rule for CHAN to accommodate players in any league in Africa and not just the home league.

🇳🇬 Victor Osimhen in Nigeria 🆚 Victor Osimhen in Galatasaray 🇹🇷

Doing it for club and country! Most consistent! 😁🔥🇳🇬

Piss one place make e foam boss.

It is vanity to start asking why NFF can't afford Peseiro's ask. Maybe you can also tell us the better coach bearing in mind the purse

Goals can come in from any sides but fact Osayi and Ekong are tired, expecting Chelle to move Aina to the RB and Bruno to kill the game with Osayi out but fact Ekong should have done better with Zimbabwe goal.

Hope you Peseiro too preferred Aina as LB when Sanusi wasn't available during Afcon with Bruno in the team.....he put Osayi as RB and Aina as LB.

I got your point,but a very solid LB in the team would not have been on the bench for right footer or possibly have not watched Bruno keenly.

Daninya33:
Eric Chelle is in London to meet Arsenal Whiz Kid, Ethan Nwaneri to convince him to commit his future by dorning the green white green.

Eric Chelle has plans to meet other players to beef up the SE squad.

He better come to Nigeria , the earlier the better. He will be second choice to saka at arsenal. Saka in England is not a constant but still ahead of Ethan. So the earlier Ethan realizes this the better.

Are you planning on holding football talk shows in the future?

kanu was ridiculously good, a beauty to watch. Best Nigeria player in my book with 2 APOTY, hoping Osimhen equal that record.

Kog45:
Pls go and read about unity cup or you forgot this is not our first participation,have you asked yourself why Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica plus Ghana and Nigeria.

The tournament is for fun now left for participating nations to use it to develop her players for the future.

Pls make we dey cool down on home based players o,we too dey drag Dem anyhow abi na dem put us in WC qualification tight situation.

Kai with our star players we are behind Rwanda,Benin, struggling with Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

Pls just mention a club in Benin,Rwanda, Lesotho and Zimbabwe that is making waves in CAF competitions.

Mind you CHAN is bigger than Unity Cup.....unity cup that a very good friend of mine used as a cap for eagles,playing for Woking fc in developmental or national league in England.

Dayo Ajoge always seeing himself as ex international with few minutes cap against Jamaica.

Chelle should take it serious and see it as a tournament for the future and possibly see one or two players who are ready to mix with big boys.

I know what unity cup is and I Obafemi Martin's playing in the 2004 one, my point is that it doesn't make sense to use majority of home based players for the tournament only for them to be discarded.

Taminu was getting regular call ups from Tanzania only to be ignored since moving to Crawley where he barely makes the team.

Bameyi can only leave Yum Yum FC to Bayelsa despite taking spots that quality players would have taken advantage of.

The likes of Lesotho, Rwanda and Benin won't callup their equivalent of Taminu, Papa Daniel or Bameyi in their national team as they will select the best players.

I know it's a fun tournament but It doesn't make sense to me to have players we don't plan to integrate in the national team as the moment they sign for European clubs they are no longer considered for future callups.

The boy will play for England

The same Skriniar who broke Osimhen's face in Serie A ( Napoli vs Inter) tackled him hard again yesterday in the derby match against Fenerbahçe. Osimhen didnt take it easy, he reacted angrily and they were both booked. He initially mistaken him for another player.

Karlovych:

Play for england, no problem
Play like Tammy and Tomori
Or play to be a core full time player . I doubt it.

Wouldn't be surprised if arsenal sells him to Brentford, palace or Newcastle.

How many of them that agreed to play for us are core full time players, even Dessers has only 6 caps for the SE after 5 years.

You want Nwaneri to accept Eagles call up only for Musa to be selected because of team spirit and leadership.

I don't think that what happened according to how I watched it, I think he wasn't reacting to the foul, he saw who fouled him.

I think the other player he attacked said something annoying to him while he was on the floor. You know how Osimhen dey when them foul am na, he go dey ground for like 7 seconds before he stand up 😏 but yesterday he just sprang up as that guy bend towards am.

Maybe that's what happened, maybe it wasn't, but that's exactly what it looked like...

Not facts
Ndidi, Aina, Nwabali & Bassey almost conceded too
They were lucky it hit the cross bar

Leave them
Let them keep arguing
We saw him at Arsenal for 5 years & how he made most West Africans love Arsenal
He won everything in club football
He won u17 World Cup & Olympics with Nigeria
Portsmouth haven’t won another FA cup till date
Henry even stated he’s one of the most technically gifted African players he’s played with
Nigeria can’t even qualify for Olympics these days
Kanu’s 1999 hat trick against Chelsea is unmatched in his set
Lookman comes close against Leverkusen

Tell him to go to Arsenal
Boy will flourish there
He’s the missing piece
Isak may be more expensive
He should forget Chelsea

i was even trying to post a short clip I saw on twitter of kanu, the guy is a beauty. Many forget even some OGs how instrumental kanu was in our qualifying for 2002 world cup.

Nigeria would’ve won 96 or 98 Afcon if not for our useless politicians
That’ 90’s generation could’ve won 3 Afcons

Aina played as RB throughout Afcon. But we have watched Bruno. He's better on that left than Osayi is on the right.
