Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

I think Kai Havertz has always shown glimpses of real quality, could be a great move for him

There’s a player in Kobra Kai. In the right system he’s a gem.

Qualification secured


Really should have been over 30 mins in could have been 4/5 up


We continue to look better away from home and we all know why, disgraceful pitches we should really play all home games in Uyo the one up to standard pitch we have and in my home state multiple players have mentioned it but we know NFF gonna NFF


We go as far as Vic takes us, if he’s there for AFCON 024 we bringing gold home


Qualification is wrapped up, Sao Tome and Principe at home is a certain W, would love to see the likes of Orban, Boniface, Akpom, Onyedika and even Frederick (who looks like a potential stud) get a look at with a view to seeing what we have for the AFCON squad and us to act like a proper federation and the giant we are, with a plan but politics and what not we finna call up 4 midfielders and Musa and stick to the foreign based quotas and Jose is just a yes man

All correct. Uyo is where every National team match should be played but Idk why NFF is so insistent on ABJ and Lag when the pitches are piss poor.

But we really need to beef up our midfield, defense and GK.

We have some young midfielders like you rightly said that should get call ups. The last AFCONQ match really should have been to try out some nee blood like Onyedika and Boniface.

SE are really underperforming with the talent on hand. We aren’t even asking for much. Just a proper pitch and proper, competent managers that actually want to win and do well.

How has Morata been Spain's starting ST. It makes no sense man.

I need Fati to score the game winner and build up that confidence

In a perfect world we should be playing in Lagos, that’s how it should be, it’s only right but it’s not fit for purpose and Abuja is no better

Francis, Ola, Calvin, Zaidu and another in theory is a solid back 5

Midfield needs some work, Alex is but right now that is the glaring hole the talent is there but it needs nurtured and called up on merit and there needs to be more depth with the selection


We have an abundance of riches upfront not even mentioning our starboy but again it has to be on merit and there’s nikkas not sniffing a call up that have more than earned it Moses is what he is, I’ve defended him but we know what we have. Chuk is the real disappointment because he just fails to translate his club form to us and show the best of his ability, he was talking that shyt about pitches in the run up to this game and he’s not wrong but he had an opportunity today to show his class and he didn’t and flattered to deceive as he most always does


All we really need is the bare minimum of competence, a competent, forward planning, joined up thinking Nigeria is hands down the best team on the continent without a question and a problem on the world stage but we can’t get out our own way, the corruption and bullshyt the NFF be on is

I thought this guy sucked?

It's like when you dump your girl then realise there's nothing better out there.

USSF is a clown show. Nothing surprises me tbh.
