The African Nations Cup started on a bad note for Nigeria Tuesday when the Super Eagles went down 1-3 to defending champions Egypt.
It was a show of character by the Pharaohs who came from behind to inflict a disgraceful defeat on the Eagles at the newly constructed Ombaka Stadium in Benguela.
Though the Nigerian side showed some promise in the first half when they shot ahead in the 12th minute, they were clearly the inferior team in the second with the Egyptians scoring two goals and looked like running up a wider margin win.
Chinedu Obasi had put Nigeria in the lead with an impressive individual goal when he let fly a left-foot cracker turning the Egyptian left back, Mohamed Moawad, inside out.
It was a strike that crowned the Nigerians’ confident, but slow passing game.
The Egyptians did equalize in the 34th minute to stake a claim to the contest but the Nigerians had the edge, having more of the chances and having what looked like a credible penalty claim overlooked by the centre referee.
The Egyptian’s goal was the first real manifestation of the Nigerian team’s defensive frailties as Captain Ahmed Hassan’s pass from midfield cut open the Eagles backline leaving Emad Moteab clear on goal. He was able to ride the tackle from keeper Vincent Enyeama to slide the ball into an empty net.
It was an entirely different game in the second half as the North Africans showed their true colours and dominated the Eagles. Hassan’s fierce shot took a deflection off Taye Taiwo to leave goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama stranded as the six-time champions took the lead in the 54th minute.
It was a lead that further took the steam out of the Eagles as all the enterprise they showed in the opening half of the game looked to have vanished.
The Nigerian attack became jaded and the defence very sloppy.
Not even the introduction of Victor Nsofor and Nwankwo Kanu could inspire resurgence and it was no surprise when a poor pass to Kanu by right back Yussuf Mohammed was intercepted by Moawad who raced on to set up substitute Mohamed Gedo for Egypt’s third goal with three minutes of regulation time left on the clock.
Even with four additional minutes, it was Egypt that had the better chances at increasing the scoreline.
EAGLES LINE UP:
Vincent Enyeama, Yusuf Mohammed, Taye Taiwo, Dickson Etuhu, Obinna Nwaneri, Joseph Yobo-C, Kalu Uche (Victor Nsofor), Mikel Obi (Nwankwo Kanu), Chinedu Obasi, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Yussuf Ayila.

Amodu has not proven beyond doubt he is a big occation coach. He doesnt seem to have it all when the chips are down, i mean, when it comes to the crunch he falls like a pack of cards. High time a foriegn tactician is hired to thinker the eagles.
nigeria don’t have team at all
Let the prophecies begin…Amodu has vindicated forumites…We must find a new coach and a new team for the world cup… it is not about the money…even if the eagles get $10 mil a game .. they will find it very difficult making it in this NC…the team lacks adequate technical…can somebody help me finish this…
LET THE BLIND SEE, LET DEFT HEAR AND LET THE DUMB SPEAK THAT NIGERIA LOST THIS GAME OUT OF TECHNICAL DISABILITY….THE MAIN CURSE COACH SHUAIBU AMODU…
A MORE EXPERIENCED EYPTIAN COACH TOOK ADVANTAGE OF OUR INABILITY:
LAZY DEFENCE
FEEBLE MIDFIELD
STRICKLESS STRICKERS…..RESPECTS TO OBASI
GOD’S WORDS MUST COME TO PAST…..THE AGONY CONTINUES SO LONG AMODU REMAINS IN CHARGE.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY:
Before the match I knew Egypt will be beat the wingless Eagles, from my observation, the coach simple has notting to offer, He is unfit to take Super Eagles to places. He does not even know what he is doing his substitutuons are questionable keeping Yakubu who is suffering from overweight on the pitch for 90 minutes. I don’t think he has any short on goal for 90 minutes. Anyway, I know Nigeria will not go beyond the group stage. I wonder what Yak was doing on pitch someone who doesn’t even make 1st team of Everton and his coach was very relieved when he was comming to Nations cup. The coach should not take Nigeria to world cup because you can’t teach what you don’t know.
Soccerbros,
Thanks for the prohesy…please more prohesies
i’m still watching i wount say a thing until benin beat us
Charles, Thanks for the prophesy… more proph…
Eze, My inverted namesake…please some prophesies
nigerian team are not hungry,and they are lack of fighting spirit.the selection is out of order,i could not believe no home base were selected.things need to be done before the world cup,because thinge are not working fine for the coach and the coach crew.we don’t need foreign coach,all we need is a very technical and strict coach.
YES, NIGERIA IS BANKING ON THEIR SO CALLED MONEY BAG AND NO SSKILL OF COACH TO MOVE THE GAME FORWARD. SHAME! SHAME!! SHAME!! AND SHAME TO THE FOOTBAL ADMINISTATION THE GOD FATHER KICKBACK, SCRAH MY BACK AND I WILL SCRATCH YOUR BACK SYNDROM IN NIGERIA. YES, I SAID THAT THE NATION CUP IS THE GREAT TEST FOR THE SO CALLED COACH OF THE EAGLES. HE HAS NOTHING TO GIVE WHY SHOULD HE BE THER IN THE FIRST PLACE? MY DEAR PPEOPLE, DO SEE THAT NOT ONLY THAT OUR PRESENDENT IS SICK BUT THE ENIRE NATION IS SICK WITH HIM. THE SUPPORTER OF THE COACH SHOULD BOW THEIR HEADS IN SHAME EH! WE WILL NOT EVEN ACCEPT DRAW BUT THEY EMBARKED ON THEIR MONEY BAG ISSUE.
WHER IS NIGERIAN TEAM! WHERE IS NIGERIA PLAYERS WE KNOW VERY WELL! WHERE IS THE COACHING CREW BUT GIVE THEM THE SO CALLED DOLLARS OR NAIRA IN MILLIONS. IS TI THE KEY TO PLAYIN THE SOCCER? SHAME! SHAME!! SHAME!! SHAME ALL SAY IT A LOUD SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMAME
OTUMBADI jOB IN USA.
well thats a good test for Amodu and he has failed. u stupid workers of complete sports started praising kanu. to hell with Amodu. how can a good coach remove two good midfielders and bring kanu and nsofor? they started well and i thought this foolish coach will change yakubu who played nothing throughout the game. Look at the guy he wanted to drop, OBASI, Everyone saw what he displayed including getting the only goal. stupid coach.
Yes, I will help you. The problem with Amodu is that he has no head not to talk of where the thought of the technics will come from. When the Egyptians equalized, he was so confused that it’s written all over his face. Why did he used Mikel more into defence and Uche more into attack in the first half? Uche did not do a single job rather loosing the chances that cos Obasi alot pains to carve out. When Mikel move forward in the second half we saw him with Obasi trying to work something out then all of a sudden, Mumu Amodu removed him for a speedless player with huge experience but lack speed and strenght. What is our statle doing there for 90 mins-Bros yakubu? Why can’t Amodu remove Yakubu for Kanu if there is no fit players available. Let them change the coach now, it will be too late if we wait for this tournament to finish.
the problem with nigeria is the confused people at the NFF office in Abuja. It is very obvious that th eagles coach lack the technical abilities to coach at this level. The formation of the eagles was faulty at the on set.
Where is Amodu from? Where is Yakubu Aiyegbeni from??? give me an answer and i will tell you why he played for 90mins
The present SE,Amadu and his Godfather sani lulu are only out to destroyed the hard earn records of the past SE,and break our souls,we pray for miracle that will sack this amadu.
make Amodu and the team go sleep
We need a good coach with good technical touches. Don’t forget that this same Egypt beat the Ivorians 4-1 at the Semi final in the last nations cup, that is to tell you they are good. The present Eagles squad in the nations cup minus Yobo, Yakubu and Iwaneri plus Adeleye, Rabiu and Ajilore can be a good world cup team. Yobo, Yakubu and Iwaneri are just decorators while Mumu Amodu is the national Statle. I don’t know why people are always talking about NFF, it means NO FUTURE FOREVER! Why do we expect anything good from them? Lets see what will happen against Benin
lol when will you nigerian fans realise its over for the super chicken?…. i remeber all of you guys making noise kanu is on form
where is the form he hit? …. amodu is technically inept to lead, kanu is too old and should leave let the young guns take over we need a coach like siasia who has soccer brain in his head, and also why is our defense so useless? taye taiwo needs to be benched, rabiu afolabi , adeleye, were dropped and why don’t we have new faces like onuoha, okaka? …… WAKE UP NIGERIANS ITS OVER FOR THE SUPER CHICKENS
Guys! this just makes me so sick ,that you sometimes want to regret ever being a nigerian..I can’t understand why a bunch of retards will screw the only sourse of joy for most nigerians.Right what those retards(NFF officials) needs…is for us to kick them out of that glass house.And for Shuabu….let it be on record that he got everything he requested for before this competition.and yet he failed….Let’s see how far this bunch of unserious fellows go.
The useless NFF would not want to change a coach for them to have enough monet to share ….useless people
A country with sick president and absent president thats exactly what the so called mumu shaibu Amodu boys displaced today. . The coach obviously needs some more football tour, a big lessons, he seems not to uderstand the game at all, when he needed goals and he left under performing Yakubu on the pitch, must he play Kanu for heavens sake? for heavens sake what is Kanu doing in the squad guess he should have call up Rasheed Yekini also, Yobo has been under performing at his club lately and that he displaced tonight, guess all this so called automatic shirt guys need to compete for their place
…what a joke we have as a coach i can only hope he wins the next two games.
i tink we have a team but we dont have a coach.removing mikel n uche was a blunder.ayegbeni wasnt on d pitch at all.i expected obinna to replace him.i said it earlier we aint gat no coach maybe i 4get football n concentrate on ice hockey that we do well here in finland.sani lulu n amodu multiply by nff cant kill me.
But why did the editor of this page not give the details of what we are comenting on? or he wants to be innocent? now Benin is leading. hmmm its gonna be difficult for eagles to advance.
What a good result,afterall with this type of result Amodu will not cry foul of being sack.I said it b4 that Obina Nwaneri is not good enough at this level,Yusuf Mohammed should not have been in the squad at all,Yobo is being played out of position.Amodu congratulations for digging your own grave,remeber like all the players you are playing for your world cup position.If Egypt can beat us three goal to one,then i wonder by how many goals the Argies will beat us with Amodu in charge.Like i said the coach that will take us to the world cup is already watching our game just like Mancini was at the city of Machester stadium to watch Mark Hughes fumbled like Amodu.
What you don’t have, you can’t give. Its more than Amodu….
It has to do with Taiwo Ogunjobi and the thieves in NFF. As long as these rogues are there, Nigeria cannot do well in Her football!
Guys, lets face it.
Apart from Amodu’s defiencies, do we really have the players to hold our own against Egypt.
Mikel is touted as our best player but he can’t take a good shot at goal. I don’t know how he and those who rever him, expect him to score. Against Egupt he did make a dribbling run into the box and he got into the edge of the 6 yard box but could not direct the ball towards goal even with the faintest of left foot shots. With all our big names I dont think any of our midfielders is as good as benin’s playmaker, Stephan Sessegni\on
Benin may be playing 2-2 with mozambique but I fear for our Eagles when we come up against them.
The thing is that Amopdu is too defensive in his approach nand that gives the opponent the advantage.
Football is all abt scoring goals.
Those that win are the teams who areoffensive or have very offensive players
up nigeria, people should not worry, that match would be replay today in the dream.
This is going to be very interesting. Almost everybody saw this coming but a very few said they know better. I´m still waiting to see how a team made up of bench warmers and a Coach who is as good as uselss, win this tournament.
Amodus selection was faulty in the defence, muhamed had no business in that team, and you noticed at a time they stopped passing the ball to him , apam should have been in place for nwanneri. The midfield was ok but we lacked a playmaker who would have made a difference. yak should have been replaced, he never made any attempt at goal. Amodu should brace up to his expectations, nothing short of a semi ticket is expected. amodu please wake up.
Dear Mr Amodu, thanks for begging to be sacked. No world cup place for you sir. The present eagles has no BALLS, or rather like we always say, NO LIVER. I hope before the world cup, the new coaches will invite players that are capable……amoebi, onuoha, anichebe, name them. What a shame! Even if they win this tournament, they are still flops!
haha I saw it coming. amodu sucks, the eagles have a good team minus kanu, if you ask me our coach is just awful. I cant believe he didnt sub yakubu, I cant believe osaze sat on the bench the whole time. I want to hear from those people that said amodu should rip the fruits of his labour. those are the people i’m actually angry at. mikel was converted from an attacking minded midfielder to a defensive midfielder by jose, and every coach after jose has played mikel in defensive midfield, why? because thats all he can do now but to show that amodu is the worse coach ever, he still plays him as an attacking midfield. If you ask me the nigerian defence isnt good and thats why they need to play mikel in front of them but I dont expect amodu to see that. we have tons of defensive midfielders and not one single attacking midefielder, a smart coach would know that the best kind of game for nigeria to be playing would be a defensive type of game, so more like the chelsea style or the style italy plays. You need to adapt play to the kind of players you have. I swear I think I would do a better job than amodu haha. anyways i hope they get eliminated in the group stages so we have some more time to regroup cause we are not winning the trophy forsure.
Super Chickens!!!!!!!!11, Am happy that i no longer waste my time watching them. I have my Chelsea to worry about not those jokers.
The solution is this: Bring in Siasia and Ben Iruoha, get the boys that played olympic for us plus Mikel, Eyama and onuoha of man city. That is the solution. 4get about nations Cup, we are out already. This solution should be applied for the World Cup. Let the person that have ear listen to this…….

Lol Super Eagles!!! A rotten egg can never hatch, wen u hav d pedigree of Siasia and NFF selects Amodu ahead of him – then we r not interested in anything. Terrible tactics even as an arm chair coach – I can do better.
Amodu has a long rope… Yakubu, Nwaneri, Yusuf M, and poor Yobo culprits.
yobo, yakubu and some chickens must be send away, let the players like adeleye, martins, peter, odiah, uche, obasi be the first team
I pray we don’t pass the group stage,so that the so call NFF can bring saisa who is not afraid of players.we all now see the importance of O sazee.pls yakubu is not smart a enuogh for the national term,and amodu should explain why danisetu was on the bench.
Putain Amodu est une salope (means Bitch) How can he start Aiyegbeni and why is Kanu and all those so called wastes like Yobo , Nwaneri still doing in the team. I think is high time we hire Frank Rijkaard or Mark Hughes or even Eric Geret . all i know is that Amodu doit partir
i tip egypt 4 d crown
the amazing thing is the look on his face when the game is going badly. what does he expect? barry silkman recounted in a british newspaper how he gave amodu cash for yakubu’s transfer to maccabi haifa from Berger FC, lulu’s NFA kept quiet at the time, but then we know how they got in, with ogunjobi stabbing his former colleagues in the back. lulu has said he will sink or swim with amodu. but then God will talk to him and if nigerians want him he will not go anywhere near the river. by the way the whole NFF board is in angola, just like they were all in Ghana. when you AGGREGATE ALL THE JUNIOR TEAMS, HOME PLAYERS, PLAYERS ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT, ASIA, LESSER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WE HAVE SURPLUS TALENT, BUT CAN WE MAKE THE BEST OUT OF THEM? WITH THESE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION? IF YOU IMPORT THE LATEST FERRARI INTO NIGERIA A ROADSIDE MECHANIC WILL TELL YOU HE CAN EASILY SERVICE IT, JUST AS ALL TOKUNBO TV SETS HAVE AN ‘I.C’ PROBLEM.
the last time nigeria won a high class competitive match and made her fans proud was in Tunisia 2004-defeating cameroon in the quater finals…although i personally respect egypt…i did’nt enjoy our fight…mark my word it’s either egypt or a lower graded team…n non of the team going to the world cup..i jus hope am wrong

For heaven’s sake what was Ayebeni doing on the picth for 90 mins while Osaze and obafemi were on the bench? Today’s match is an eye opener that Amodu lacks the technical dept to win any competative match. If we intend to win any match at the world cup, now is the time to act. A stitch in time will save nine. Amodu must be sacked after the nation cup and Siasia called upon to go to the world cup with the silver medalist eagles at the last olympic football event to be spiced up with few members of the older crop of eagles. It is too late to bring a foriegn coach, he will not have enough time to be able know and blend the team.
What we watched today should not surprise anybody. The reality is that our football has turned to elements of superstitions with pastors,prophets and Marabouts controlling everyone from NFF to the players. everyone is waiting from prophecies from popular prophets to get results. everyone knows Amodu is not good. he should reep the fruit of his labour while we kill ourselves with hypertension watching our national team. I wonder the excuses NFF wll give us again to cover up Amodu. Nobody can separate Amodu from Yobo and Yakubu, he will field them even when they are dead. He selects his team based on the fantasies he had with these players in 2001. Only God knows why he discarded the defence that played against FRANCE. Will someone save us from all these. Our honour for the past 50 years are falling like park of cards, Peter Utaka,Akpala and eneramo would have done better than Yakubu today. ARGENTINA WILL DAZE US. It is not a secret that Yakubu and Yobo influenced team selection and pressed on Amodu to delete Adeleye and Olabayo from the team.
Now, that thing way then think say we no no, we go Talk am. We tell them say we need foreign Coach, them bring betty volts like say them no no say him go fail, so that another time if we ask for foreign coach them go say waiting betty volts Do. Look amodu Face, Him be like coach? . Look the players when him they parade they are the FATEST in whole Team that came to the nations cup slugish legs, When we know that even the boys in the street would leave the egyptian playesr in their Box 18 till the end of the match, Must a player be foreign based or play in the local legue before he can play ? Give the best mane the chance to play thats how it should be, and you now Amodu would give his brother ayegbeni the shirt , But imagine a guss Hindik Eagles . NOW THE WHOLE WORLD, THESE FROM THE HEART OF NIGERIANS ON THE STREET, THAT IS NOT OUR EAGLES, ITS THE GOVERNMENTS THROUGH THEIR NFA WHICH IS NOTHING BUT A FRAUD SETUP OFFICE. GOD HAS REDEEMED US AND SOON CHANGES WOULD COME I KNOW AND I SURELY WOULD BE ALIFE TO SEE MY EAGLES AGAIN
This is absolutely a show of shame and a disgrace to our dear nation Nation by this so called foolish NFF, Coaches led by Amodu and the Super Chicken who lack true Nigerian Spirit. EFCC should investigate all funds allocated to this NFF for this unjust course. Our Vice President must intervain now sacking the currupt NFF and Coaching crew and disband the team. This now calls for Coach Sisia, Obu of under 17 team and Steven Keshi and other notable Coaches to quickly assist us in the remaining games of Angola 2010. We can not continue again, enough is enough.
LASIDE…WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…ARGENTINA WILL DAZE US
I believe if Siasia become the coach, he knows the best selection, tactics and players to use for each opponent with good formation
Well, U may think that you are grater than US NIGERIANS, but Let me tell you AMODU, NFF, MR. PRESIDENT, LULU, OGUNJOBI AND THE FUEL PEOPLE………..I AM GARTER THAN YOU…MY GOD IS GRATER THAN YOU. SO TIME WOULD TELL. I TELL YOU AMODU LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE MEN I SEE IN IYA IBO’S PARAGA JOINT……IS THAT HIM ?. I LOVE THE PRESIDENT, BUT LET HIM DO THE RIGHT THING, MAYBE IF WE HAD SOMEBODY ACTING AS PRESIDENT HE WOULD HERE OUR VOICE ATLEAST UNTIL OUR PRESIDENT IS WELL AGAIN TO CONTINEU….I WSIH YOU COULD HEAR ME MR. PRESIDENT, YOUR PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY….I BUY FUEL 80 PER LITER EVERYDAY…NOW SOCCER TIME HAS COME INSTEAD ME USING IT TO FORGET THE FUEL WHALA, THE PEOPLE YOU PUT THEIR ARE JOKING WITH US, NOW US IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOUR ABSENCE TO TELL US PLENTY RUBBISH ABOUT THE BOMBER BOY, BUT THERE WAS A BRITISH BOMBER IN THE PAST…ALL THESE ARE DUE TO YOUR ABSENCE PLEASE LET GOODLUCK ACT AS PRESIDENT THEM WHEN YOU RETURN YOU CONTINEU…JUST BE UNDERSTANDING, I KNOW YOU HAVE A GOOD HEART BUT SOME WICKED SOLES MUST HAVE INSISTED THAT YOU DO NOT LISTEN, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING…COMEBACK FROM THAT HOSPITAL AND SEEK JESUS AND YOU WOULD SEE A MIRACLE
o yes now somebody should tell us honestly if we have a coach. answer me lulu, ogunjobi, and d so called expects that supported amodu, even mumini u are among amodu solicitors, i know u all idiots, i warned nobody listen to me, THE ONLY WAY FORWARD NOW IS TO QUICKLY BEG SIASIA TO TAKE OVER IF THIS COWS AND RAM AT D GLASS HOUSE STILL HAVE EYES AND BRAINS: I HATE THIS SENTIMENTING CRAZING BUNCH WE FOOTBALL ADMINISTRATORS:
We need immediate healing in our Nation, Sports and most especially our football. This is a direct representation that if the Head is sick what can the rest of the body do? Please our Vice President save this our great country from disgrace, suspension, rejection and backward sliding. All our poeple in authority have failed us, I belive your name Goodluck Jonathan will restore the Glory of this nation. Pls. help.
This is the best Eagles performance in a along time, Kudos Amodu and his boys!!!!!!!!! Long live super Eagles. The best part was how Amodu celebrated the Egyptian Goals!! See the bewildering look on his face ( looked completely lost) kia! this coach is to much.
Stop blaming this boys they did their best!!! Yobo! ooo!!!! my dear Yobo!!!!. I hv hope Nigeria will bounce back against Benin and Mozambique!!! Nonsense!!!, arrant nonsense!!!! Super Tuckey- Tolotolo better pass themselves. Very sick team!
what i really find surprising is papers like complete sports writting rubbish about kanu in top form.which form????????the whole system is corrupt including the papers.complete sports know very well dat kanu is past it but will still print such rubbsih as kanu in top form.sack amodu before we trully get humilated
The problem is the choice of Yakubu Ayigbeni who is suffering from over weight as No one striker. Yakubu was busy roaming around the pitch for 90min expecting a killer pass that he would just put his finger nails there and it becomes a goal. well,no pass came and he continue to roam around like a roamo-monger. jonny walker. he is amudu’s in-law that why he allowed him.

Is a shame Kanu, Mikel, Taiwo, Nnwanneri, Mohammed, Yakubu, and others except Obasi, Osaze, Nsofo. The rest are bunch of fools who pocket enough money and now dont know what to do on the pitch. We need the entire Olympic team coach by Siasia with true Nigerian Spirit and who are hungry for success. We dont need the likes of 23 plays in Angola now. NFF u guys are mad, foolish, useless etc.
i told u,this eagles cannot fly. what is NWANERI and some old wasted defenders doing in that squad when the likes of chibuzor and adeleye were dropped. it clearly shows that the coaching crew has nothing to offer. how can mikel be changed for kanu?.pls advise the NFF, to make SIASIA, ADEPOJU, AMOKACHI AND OLISEH the new set of coaches before WORLD CUP. A coach of Amodu left aiyegbeni for the entire duration when they claim that MARTINS is fit? PLS stop all the lies, it takes us nowhere. FAITH and WORK has effect not your presumptions, a good spoken word is enough for the wise.
I said it after the qualifier that if Amodu paires Yobo and Nwaneri that it will be a disaster. I also said it that the problem with Nigerian coaches are that they always lost the grip when the chisp are down. This same thing happend today Amodu lost the grip.For goodness sake, Yobo , Nwaneri,kanu and Yakubu should stay away from this team, We lost this match through the two central defenders and the attack speareheaded by Yaks. the mid filed was splendid and the removal of Mikel and Uche and bringing Kanu was a technical crime and that was when the Egyptains rapped the game. Amodu has shown us who he is and he has nothing more to offer. our qualification to the wc was total resolution of the players and not Amodus import of technical know how.
Goodbye Nigerians from Angola. Tell me how we can contain the speedy, Artistic messmerising Messi of Arentina in Nelson Mandale Country? Big Poser for LULU AND NFA. Mr. Ik Green In Russia.

THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. IT IS BETTER THAT WE LOST THREE GOALS TO ONE TO EGYPT THAN TWENTY GOALS TO ONE TO ARGENTINA.
WE NEED A GOOD COACH AND NEED OKOCHA BROUGHT BACk TOO.
Shame! NFF passed vote of confidence on Amodu. I would have done better as a coach of the Super Eagles. Amodu couldn’t see that Yakubu was useless after 55mins but I saw it. Amoducouldn’t see that Yusuf Mohammed should have been substituted after the first half but I saw it. Amodu didn’t know that Mikel was doing a good job in that midfield but pulled him out but I know it was the end of the game for them. What happened to Obafemi? With due respect, Kanu should leave this team for strong players. Definitely this team and Amodu will be disgraced by Argentina and Greece. NFF stop Politics and change Amodu now! Oga Mumini be bold and speak against this disgrace on Nigeria called Amodu
If you had expected Amodu to achieve better than he did today, then you are like him. People without a dream. Please, nobody should insult Papilo for any reason, that guy has tried for this country and deserves our respect. How many minutes was he given by Amodu? Can you imagine, while the coach whose boys are leading was busy fortifying his team, Amodu was busy leaning on his bench. It’s high time fans pursue Amodu out of our stadium cos if we still alloy those glass house rats, Amodu will still be there til next year because they know there cut. I won’t watch there match agin.
I love Egypt and Nigeria for the team you are playing football does not rely on violence and I hope to qualify Nigeria for the next round
The summary of this matter is that Nigeria has not got that kind of team you guys have in mind. The best coach in the world cannot make this team win any trophy.
Tell NFF and the Okocha led Presidential committee to award Amodu with a Hummer Jeep this time for the shameful defeat.
Player John Obi Mikel is a talented player and I love the view with the team Chelsea
Though we may not have a coach good enough for this team at the moment, but I still want to tell the boys to carry on, do not give up the fight, you can turn things around, some of us still believe in you, put in your best and make a positive statement in this present tournament. After this I strongly advise that coach Amodu Shuaib be replaced and more friendly matches be played for the team to jell for a better performance at the world cup
AMODU IS THE USELESS COACH EVER TO MANAGE NIGERIA TEAM.NFA SEND HIM PACKING SUB OUT MIKEL FOR KANU WORST MISTAKE OF THE CENTURY
I agree with Gbenga. We simply have no team to do us proud. It was the same 2 yrs. back. It might not be about coaches after all.
Up Obasi ! The stone the builder rejected has becomes the pillar of the house. Amadu was forced to include Obasi into his team when the player was almost planning to return to his base .Before the tournament began I said it several times that countries like Ghana and Ivory Coast would have be proud to have player like Obasi in their national team.If countries like Benin,Cameroun and the rest can hire foreign coach that can see very well what is stoping Nigeria from doing the same? Corruption! Corruption !Corruption is the answer to this simple question.We have talked,many have prophesized the deficiecy of our NFF to differenciate between good and bad. In the minds of 150 millions Nigerians,losing 1-3 to Egypt might be embaracing one but does it mean anything to Lulu led NFF? For all indication the lost does’t matter as long as the benefit they get from taken the wrong direction out weigh the interest of all Nigerians.We all watched the match and saw what went wrong:Poor goal keeping,poor defensive,lack of cohensive midfield and the upfront was nothing to write home about.Must Enyeama be life goalkeeper for eagles? The lost might not be individual error but I must say without apology that there must be an urgent replacement for Enyeama,Nwaneri and Yakubu if eagles should even dream of drawing the last two matches.I reserve my comment till next match.
WE NEED THE OLYMPIC TEAM BY SIASIA NOT THIS TOLOTOLO
PPPPPPPPPPPPPlease STOP…….
What we dont know is that only Amodu is not the problem… The the players are to be blamed also. These guys are mainly from the English league. Most of them don’t play their club matches, they are bench warmers.
In the English league the train once a week if they don’t have mid week matches.
NOWWW tell me if these players that are bench warmers, what will happen to there form when the club constant have mid week matches. They will be seriously out of shape because of lack of football action.
Our present defenders are out of shape. they are not good at all. English football is killing our game.
That is where we are.
NOT TO TALK OF AMODU …….. his facial out look can not command fear on his boys and respect what he said
I SAID IT. JUST WAIT 4 MORE SHOCKERS…
This is the end of the road for Amodu, even though we don’t believe in the coach, at least the SE can still turn things around.
i felt dissapointed sometimes being a Nigeria abroad, i called my cousin who is equally based in America and we speak for 4 hours concerning the issue of my beloved country Nigeria and at the end of the conversation, we couldnt help bit bust into tears about issues of the country. Politically we are dead, we are like a living without a head. I live in London and see Nigerian struggling to make a living and though they wanted to go back like me but the ground is not there to live. I listened from BBC the president speech and feel sorry for the common man. Where are we heading to? I watched the Nigeria/Egypt match and felt sorry once again to the extend that i asked myself in tears why is everything is going agaist the most populous black nation in the world? If it is our sins that we are punishing for, i pray for God to put an end to it because we are getting rotten everyday by day in all our activities and deed both within and outside the country call Nigeria. God save us from this oppressors
I am not surprise at all.It quit unfortunate that we have no football team at all.Starting from the Coach,suhabu..or subuha …or what…… the Amudu or Amuda or what the hell is the name… na so one of them won name Nigeria bad name for USA here.Better resign and stop the nonsense u are doing,ok…….
the entire NFF stuff should be killed. Nigeria football is dead. we need a white coach to take over that team. check out amodu looking like an house boy to dis players. there is no way he can control dis boy that end millions and boys that gives him money and pay to play for the team. Adeleye of sparta once told me wat is going on in the national team and i neva believe him but today i saw the whole tin. with a sick president and a corrupt Government in thefootball administration we can neva do well in football. we need change in the team..
Guys don’t forget EGYPT IS Defending champions and very good team .Egypt deserved
ALL U PEOPLE CALLING FOR THE HEAD OF AMODU, I WILL LIKE TO SEE U TALK WHEN NIGERIA QUALIFY FOR THE QUATER FINAL. ALL OF U SEEM TO FORGET THAT EGYPT HAS A VERY GOOD TEAM. THAT WAS THE SAME TEAM THAT BEAT IVORY COAST 4-1 AND BEAT CAMEROUN IN THE FINAL IN GHANA 2008. THE EGYPTIANS HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 6 YEARS, AND AM TIPPING THEM TO WIN IT AGAIN. NOT EVEN IVORY COAST AND CAMEROUN CAN STOP THEM. http://www.sportwithfaith.blogspot.com
we will continue to have problem with the all the national teams until we stop the quota system in the stupid head of all the head of nigerians so called leaders.is chidi nwaneri better than dele adeleye presently.what about olubayo who can play in three positions out of the four defence.can someone reasonable enough to tell me that. But the stupid mumudo who last went for coaching course in the 80′s put in trust of a team in the twenty century..someone making a blunder substitution. of all the matches played so far in AFCON all the substitutes have made impact in games except of course our own super chickens. Tell me the real goal poachers in that eleven chickens on the field team except outdated,fatty ,lazy aiyegbemi who can’t even displace a saha’s that have pass his prime time in football. All he could do through out 90 mins is no goal attempt at go.we should have better play 1o players than the eleven accredited to us on the field.Lets them the super chicken to play the remaining matches and then the team should be disbanded and like the westeroff ‘s in 1989, we should start afresh. every one is experiencing recession lets take this as one of those in the national team. four yrs plan might be the way forward not the fire bridge approach of we Nigerians.
2008 Egypt beat Cote d’lvoire 4-1 Cameroon 4-1 Did Nigerian team learned any thing
from that
Nigerians have complained bitterly that Amodu is not a good coach, not tactical at all, then secondly, l wish NFF should probe what transaction exist between Amodu and Ayegbeni because Ayegbeni has no business in that team at all.
Big Sam…You have prophesised!!!
What a shame!!!, Why did the coach not remove Yakubu even when he was not part of the the game? so that him (Yakubu) would not stop accommodating him each time he travels to London? What a shame super eagles!!!
Is this the same crop of players that would play against Agentina at the world cup? with the likes of Messi, Taves, Macherano? we be start thinking of what to do, before hand. follow the presidential task force recommendation for a foreign coach, be amodu is not one.
Lukman… You insult our intelligence and sound like a fraudster… the website you supplied does not exist…we want prophecies..
THE PROBLEM WITH AMODU… Let’s discuss. Complete the following sentences
1. Amodu is….. 2. Amodu cannot….. 3. Amodu loves…. 4. Amodu and Yakubu are….. 4. Amodu is ……… of Nwankwo 5. Amodu is in ……. with Lulu 6. Amodu is a …….. coach. 7. Amodu needs…….. 8. Amodu deserves to be ……….. 9. Amodu needs ……… 10 Amodu is the ……….. …………. coach of the century. Who ever gets the most correct answers wins the forumite of the month. Thanks.
Does it really make sense for me to comment on this match because there is nothing new I am going to say that I have not written about before now. Please check my earlier comments on Super Eagles and Coach Amodu/NFF. These people will destroy our football before we do something about them. Everything seem to be sick in Nigeria.
Nigerians must look for a better team to represent them in SA 2010 or else,they will only go there to complete the teams.
Dear soccer fans, we have seen the different between a coach and a games master the Egyptian coach capitalised on the deficiency of amodu and disgrace eagles in the second half.So many things was wrong on that team, frist the line up was zero yusuf mohammed obinna nwanneri in the heart of defence of eagles was a tactical blunder.
Anyway Lulu have said it that no coach in the world will replace Amodu unless sir Alex fergusson, so we shouldnt bother ourselves to ask them to change amodu.All that i want to tell you beloved soccer fans is to be patient, amodu and eagles will play 3 matches in angola and return, then in june they will play 3 matches at the world cup and head home. Then amodu , lulu and ogunjobi will all pack their luggages and leave nigerian football forever.
May God help us
Once upon a time sport writers were discovering good players all over the globe and imposing same one an unwilling coach…. the result is the olisehs, the finidis of yore these day is like every one is benefitting from the kick back syndrome if not i did not see the ” TOP FORM” of kanu in this match. I want to urge all football faithfuls to for their own sake wish the eagles well for the rest of the tournament cos our national pride and all is at stake
CAN SOMEBODY ORGANISE SOME LARGE SPEAKERS AROUND GLASS HOUSE AND LET THEM GIVE US SIASIA WHO HAS GOT THE REQUIRED TECHNICAL ABILITY TO MEET UP WITH CHALLENGES OF THIS KIND…ITS STILL A NIGHTMARE YAK PLAYD FOR 90MINS…ALL NIGERIANS BCK HOME KNOW THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS STRIKING FORCE WAS WEAK..THAT EXPOSED THE WEAKNESS IN MIDFIELD,DEFENCE,AMODU AND THE SO CALLED NFF. THIS FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE. ONLY HOPE A COMMON SENCE WILL BE COMMON IN THAT GLASS HOUSE ONE DAY!!!!!!!!
Mr. Lukman, with all due respect, you are sick.
I wish we could ban you from this forum. I’m tired of your lack of focus and insincerity. I wouldn’t mind your propagandas if you were man enough to admit the truth even for once.
Let me tell all of us what will happen to Nigeria.
WE WILL LOSE 0-2 TO BENIN, and LOSE 1-2 TO MOZAMBIQUE.
I once predicted that Switzerland will win the Golden eaglets, but people laughed.
I later predicted that Nigeria will be grouped with Argentina and Greece, but no one took me serious.
Unless we hire FRANK RIJKAARD to work with SIASIA, we shall be embarassed at the world cup.
The results will be:
ARGENTINA VS NIGERIA : 4-0
NIGERIA VS KOREA : 1-3
NIGERIA VS GREECE : 1-2
A word is enough fro the wise.
@ charle-taylor, no one’s really blaming kanu but come on kanu for mikel? when osaze could have come in instead? amodu is retarded and thats fact. at gbenga…stop defending amodu, why are u blaming the team. you clearly know it was amodu’s fault. Its not yakubu’s fault or yobo’s fault that they started them. on the other hand Obasi was amazing today. I felt really bad for him, cause he worked hard.
p.s lukman you are retarded. If nigeria cant beat egypt or atleast even get a draw then the team isnt going to do anything. Nigeria has soo much potential and for nigeria not to win or even get something was totally amodu’s fault. Please stop commenting if you are going to support amodu
If we hire FRANK RIJKAARD to work with SIASIA, we should give them a 6yrs contract.
If we do, then tis is what our world cup games will look like.
ARGENTINA VS NIGERIA : 2-2
NIGERIA VS KOREA : 3-2
NIGERIA VS GREECE : 2-1
2nd Round:-
URUGUAY VS NIGERIA : 1-1
Penalty : Nigeria wins 5-3
Quarter Finals :-
NIGERIA VS ENGLAND : 2-4
We return home with pride, and we’ll be sure to win the next African cup of nations.
And for the records, BRAZIL WILL MEET SPAIN IN THE FINAL MATCH.
FRANK RIJKAARD IS CURRENTLY COACHING GALATASARAY IN TURKEY. HE HAS A TWO YEAR CONTRACT WITH THEM WITH A CLAUSE IN HIS CONTRACT WHICH GIVES HIM THE POWER TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT AT ANYTIME HE WISHES AS LONG AS HE PAYS A SETTLEMENT FEE/FINE.
HE SHOWED IN HIS STINT WITH BARCELONA THAT HE CAN DISCIPLINE STARS LIKE ETO AND HENRY.
Get him to work with Siasia.
It’s painful how we lost this game, eagles were doing well in the first 15 mins b4 they lost concentration. The players and the coach must have learned one or two lessons. The other games will be better. Amodu please be bold enough to make necessary changes, Yakubu ought to have been removed. hopefully we can still qualify from this group, and probably go far in this tournament, it’s never too late.
pls tell mr amodu packing is bags.we need a very sound coach who can take a good decision on his not like d meat seller man(amodu).and with due respect to king kanu or whot so ever d stupid sport writer called him,let him to leave supereagle when he still have respect in slight of 150 million nigerians.pls bring us goodlndigious like sia 1 or forign
coach.well i still have hope in d super eagle dat will crash in d first round of d conpetion.so word is enough 4 d wise who is ready to listen.
It is a shame that Nigeria never ever learnt anything from history, this was almost the same team that failed to go beyond the group stage in Ghana 2 years ago…albeit, that we are still parading these same set of players despite the fact that we are blessed with talents. it is big shame that the present coach that was sacked from the national team for his technical inability was brought back by the so called sani lulu….shame on you lulu. Amodu should be fired before things gets out of control, Nigeria is greater than any individual we hope those in authority should listen to voices of Nigerians and do the right thing UP NIGERIA!!!!!!!
ARE WE SUPRISED? HOW CAN ANYTHING ELSE BE EXPECTED. LET SOMEBODY TELL NIGERIANS WHY AMODU SHOULD BE THE COACH OF A BIG TEAM LIKE NIGERIA. WE HAVE NOT LOST A MATCH BEFORE NOW, IS THAT ENOUGH REASON? WERE THEY PLAYING WELL? WERE WE NOTICING THE IMPUT OF THE COACH ON THE TEAM? WAS IT REALLY AMODU BEING TACTICAL? WAS HE THE REASON WE EVENTUALLY QUALIFIED FOR THE WORLD CUP? LET A TECHNICALLY SOUND COACH COME AND HANDLE THE SUPER EAGLES. NOT ANY OF THE OLD COACHES THAT WERE DOING WELL IN THE EIGHTIES, BUT A RELATIVELY YOUNG COACH WITH A SOUND RECORD AND HUNGRY TO SUCCEED. BUT HAS THE SECRET DEAL BETWEEN AMODU AND THE NFF EXPIRED?
The strength of every nation lies with ability to know when there is need for a U turn or dramatic change. Amodu, Completely refuse any recommendation regarding those to be selected, rather, he said, I will pick the guys that helped him to qualify not knowing that the people is actually referring to Super Eagles wasn’t the people that made Nigeria to qualify but Mozambique who promised to win Tunisia and deliver their promise should actually be grateful to not our Team. In every desert of Trial, God has an oasis of comfort which lies with the NFF, Team Coach and our team. The only thing that will bring happiness to Nigeria now is qualitative administration of football in Nigeria. You can’t lose when you help others to win and the only way Nigerian team can achieve this is by not to letting us down again even if there is little we can do now.
Best of luck SE and God bless Nigeria.
BumightCareAlways
what a mess,Nigeria doesn’t have a team.After NC,this Women should be disbanded and the technical crew should be sacked and the young players should be invited and start preparation for the world cup
there is nothing to say that we have not said b4…………………Remove Mumu Amodu and let a new coach select his team thats all……………….For now let forget about NC we will not go any where. Only if God decide to bless us just the way he did in the WC qualifiers.
I said it; and now it has come to pass; you can never build something on nothing, I know we shall start throwing stones at NFF officials on the streets.
good day all nigerians , my problem is amodu, mr amodu should tell me the name of the fromation he play with egypt, how can you play uche kanu out of position i think amodu ave a long way to go, him need to live football not even a clube side in nigerian should employ him is not fit to be a coach, i really think siasia is better off is the best coach will ave now, and 4 me to help amodu in our next game pls put milke and uche in mindfeed 4 us thank you sar 4 breaking my heart.
can we all see now that we do not have a team & coach that can win the cup, so it’s time for us to make a change of coach & some players. the man in charge presently is incompetent to take us to that promise land.thank you
IS AMODU A COACH?,THE WAY HE SULKS ON THE BENCH IS APPAULING,AT A TIME WHEN HE SHOULD BE THINKING AND GIVING HIS BOYS INSPIRATION,LIKE THE EGYPTIAN COACH,I BEG WE NEVER GET COACH OOO,YHE ANNOYING THING IS THAT HE DOES ALL HIS COACHING BY TALKING ,HE ALWAYS JUSTIFY HIS INEPTITUDE
Nonsence!
it’s very sad that at this groaning moment our nation is ,one man in the incompetency of Amodu Shuaibu could play with the joy ofd Nigerians by keeping an unfit player on the field of play for 90mins.Aiyegbeni has no businness sitting on the reserve bench not to talk of him being fielded among the starting eleven, that man is and the coach are two sad variable in the super eagle.that played against Egypt.in my view Amodu is a corpes in the present day football he is long due for burial . nigeria football. as 150 million Nigerias cry Over the state of Nigeria as a directionless state,faces the shame and pains of terrorism tag and fuel crises,let us join voice to thank amodu for adding to the pains of nigeria.
We are absolutely lacking anything in this country. I mean we have the players but that man that call himslf a coach and yeye peope that is still believing in him are nothing but bunch of useless fellows. Look at Egypt day drop Mido, Abutriaka and Zaki has injury and use vitually home players but still dominate the eagles from start to finish after Alhaji Mumuni will will clamouring consistency for our coaches. Please is this how is going to work out? Our problem yesterday was absolutely a tactical error by the coach, you can imagine Obasi that the MUMU want to drop from the list for Eneramo look what he played. Please ask him why did he play Yak for 90minutes, is this man crazy? to make matters worse he now remove good two midfielders (Mikel&Uche) for God sake what a disaster for Amodu now kept yak for the entire duration of the game. Amodu is sick please NFF here is a food for thought sack that man before he causes earthquake to our football.
there is a small boy on my street that can handle super eagles better than this stupid,useless man called amodu, what the hell is yak doing on the feild of play for 90mins? why kanu for mikel, does amodu really know where somethings went wrong on that pitch yesterday? please this amodu is really retarded and we need sharp mind like siasia. and we expect to go to the world cup and face people like messi, christian ronaldo, drogba, etoo, essien and the likes?? why dont you all forget about nigerian football and lets all take to YY, afterall some people are doing it to have 8 companies and 9 houses… i beg
eze, i support you broda. i will not say a thing also until benin beat us.
It is well no problem, our so call sports guru agreed we should stick to Amodu for sentimental reasons – Deji Omotoyigbo, mumuni Alao, and other sports editors that wine and dine with Amodu. We will qualify for the quarter finals but Egypt was the real test to know waht we can give at the world cup. Nigeria we hail thee, a country with a leader would give room for worms to take over. Nigerians please sleep well for your national team has become a breeding ground for footbal agents to expose their players for transfers
My People, I used to be one of those who clamoured for a fair treatment on Amodu. But M-e-e-n, the game was disastrous, annoyingly embarassing and shameful. Amodu showed a complete lack of composure, total technical inteptitude, folding hands and hiding behind Amokachi. I bet his palm must have been greezed by Aiyegbeni. Yak had no business in that team – to imagine that Amodu kept him on for 94 mins leaves more to be explained. Martin assured he will be ready for that game and he was on the bench. Any explanation ? Even if Osaze was not completely fit as a result of flu he would`ve been far better than Yak on the pitch. The international media was shocked at the removal of Mikel. It all tells me that Amodu does not read the game at all – His team was losing and underpressured yet, his first substitution came well into the 70th minute when his counterpart was busy switching players and changing tactics. HE IS NOT EQUAL TO THE TASK, NO SENTIMENTS NOW! But then I ask myself – what use will all these comments serve? the whole nigerian system is collapsing and leaders don`t seem to be honest in execution of their duties….what a shame!
well i still wonder why the Nigerian best player is on bench throughout the match(osaze), and to be candid enyeama is not the one for nigeria, he looses concentration on match, so as the team, nobody knows its wing, let obi plays in 4 position and he can help the defence. kudos to obasi.
Amodu is a disgrace. the players are good except ayegebeni and mohmed yesuf. Ayegebeni is not suppose to be in that team. Eneramo is better than ayegbeni. He can’t run. the worse thing is that the coach allowed him to play for over 90 minutes. Amodu should be checked concerning how he selects players. I am not sure he is the one to take nigeria to the world cup.
He never wanted C. Obasi to be enlisted but Obasi proved his selection yesterday. What is happening to Martins, and Osazee. Injury or not, they are better and should have played at list 20 minutes.
Amodu is technically deficient to handle these boys. He should be dismissed immediately otherwise be would bring more shame to the nation. I think he deserves a place in nigerian division 3 league not in national team. A coach who cannot read a match and make perfect changes when necessary is definitely not a coach. I rate him below average.
You people talk about replacement Amodu has no bench or even a joker, just look at the under 17, his first 11 was good then his bench he has hope too, that boy Emmanuel was his joker who get goal when ever he enter, look Amodu went to this AFCON with dead woods, matins is injured why take him to there Eneramoe knows this north Africans very well why remove him and carry all this useless players, look chidi odia, at the bench, osaze at the bench, look Nigeria may qualify but we will be disgraced, just look at Stephen Keshi, i wish we will have him as Eagles coach but he not agree to come.
i want to belive that amodu is not a tactical coach he cannot lead us to the world cup.he is a coach that can not rise up to the occassion when the chips are down.respect c. obasi
Amodu should be asked why he kept Aiyegbeni on the pitch for 90 mins without substituting him. Also, let somebody ask him why he removed Mikel and Uche.
Also, for some years back, it is always difficult for the Super eagles winning their first matches in Nations cup competition. In Algiers 1990, we lost to Algeria 5 goals to 1 in opening match, In 2006 just to mention a few, we lost to Morroco by 1 goal to NIL, In 2008, we lost our opening match to Cote D’ivore by a lone goal. History has a way of repeating itself. In 2010 in Angola , we lost the opening match this time around by a wide margin of 3 goals to one.
I’m not in support of removing Amodu because this is the guy that qualified us for the world cup but Technical adviser should be given to him.
Let Amodu go to that his socall prophet that claimed to qualified Nigerian to the World Cup to help him win the remaining matches.
If Nigeria can get Keshi that will be fine, let him overhaul all this dead woods and just build his team around Yobo and osaze, others should find their way or maybe this guys are good but amodu do not know how to use them, how can you play uche at the left hand side, but the only player that impressed me in that team was Etuhu, look at kanu 33 years and old, kanute of Mali is the same age with him and the Mozambique captain is 36 years but very hot Ambrosini in AC Milan is of age but very hot, calouse puyol is of age very hot why, Nigerian players are like this we get a first goal and relax, i cant believe that a player with throat problem can not play a match
OLUFEMI OWOADE what do you mean by that so history cannot be braked?, please stop talking that all that Amodu men should be pushed out, they are not good at all imagin coach that does not have bench, he dont even know who to change, look before, when nigeria make changes the person going out and the person going in are just the same, even some times our bench is better than our first 11
Amodu, should be sacked, he had talents on the bench but refused to use them, those Egyptians were fast & physical, instead of bringing on someone like martins & push mikel(awful performance), back to the role he’s used to at chelsea, he brought on a slow kanu, wat on earth was ayegbeni still doing on the field? We definitely deserve the loss
There is no how the present so-called super eagles can triumph with the present set of players. Amodu will always play overweight Yakubu because they are from the same place- Auchu,Edo State. He dropped Adeleye, Olubayo and almost Obasi because the press calls them Siasia boys. Where then is national pride? Its unfortunate. We pray Benin and Mozambique will not disgrace us. The time to make amend is now.
OUR FEARS HAS FINALY BEEN CONFIRMED.LET NIGERIA NOT FOOL ITSELF,WE DONT HAVE A COACH ATALL.HOW ON EARTH CAN U LEAVE AN UNFIT YAK 4 90MIN.
NIGERIA PARADED A FLAT DEFENCE THAT WAS ALWAYS STRUGGLING WITH D EGYPTIAN PACE.OUR COACH IS ALWAYS PLAYING NAMES RATHER THAN USING CURRENT FORM.NO REPLACEMENT IN THE DEFENCE& NO FORM OF CREATIVITY IN THE NIGERIAN TEAM.
PLZ!PLZ!! LET US CHANGE OUR COACH NO W,HE HAS NOTHING TO OFFER& CANNOT TAKE US ANYWHERE.
look Nigeria hear it oooooooh a bench wormer in Barcelona is 100% better than a super regular in locomotive Moscow, or everten, even some dey fc sion Switz, and all kind of on non club Nigeria football is falling, before you find our players in some big club, also as super regular,if they cant play there let them come back to Nigeria and play our league
Thank Amodu, Thank Yar Adua, Thank Nff, Thank Mutallab and Thank COMPLETESPORT FOR LYING TO NIGERIA THAT KANU IS IN FORM THE PAPER ARE CORRUPT Very Soon GOD will intervene and you all that want to spoil the name of the innocent Nigerians shall suffer. All your families shall no no peace. THANK YOU
Gentlemen, let’s take a moment to re-analsye the match again from start to end. You must all agree with me that the Eagles for the first time in about 4yrs played the most purposeful football yesterday, the first half was superb even they conceded a goal.The later part of the second half was when things started goin wrong. Now, at this point the rest was up to AMODU; a good coach worth his salt should have been able to improvise and juggle some options. He did not!
look if Amodu can use osaze at top 9 since obasi is doing his roll bringing in balls in the 18, because osaze is an attacker in his club, but in the super eagle they play him in the hand right side why? look at taiwo he turn his back at a short from the egypt captain, i have players save such ball with their face, i have see players save such ball with their cheast or even if it toch his hands is better then we know he show comitted to father land infact the team petner is not good, so all this Amodu’s close door traning is for us to be disgraced, look egypt coach is very inteligent only one man was disturbing nigeria zidan runing up and down they did not use with at all they used the central midfild to finish nigeria they don’t even has much ball crossing, and you want to face such man with Amodu
COMPLETESPORT AND THE NFF ARE ALL THE SAME THIEVES SEE MY PEOPLE LET FIND SOMETHING BETTER DOING THEN WATCHING THOSE CHICKEN EAGLES PLAY I THINK I WILL START WATCHING RUBY THEN WASTE MY TIME ON THIS USELESS FOR GIVING US WRONG INFORMATION YOU ARE DOING THAT FOR YOUR SELFISH INTEREST COACH,NFF,THE PLAYER AND EVER THIS COMPLETE THING YOU ALL ARE USELESS OUR GOD WILL INTERVENE ON YOU AND YOU FAMILIES AND OGUNJOBI THUNDER WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN IN JESUS NAME.
AMEN
Nigerians are not patient at all. The only language they understand is vioctory. What do you want Algier to do? Imagine a world cup team thaty lost to a tiny Malawi by 3 goals to 0. This is just a first match, we have tWO more matches to go. I’m not saying that history canot be broken but this Eagle can still fly. Everyone of us agreed that Amodu committed a blunder in the opening match but that shouldn’t call for the removal of his head. Let’s give him another chance. Football is no mathematics and it is not a game of winning winning all the time. Egypt, mind you, is one of the favourites in this competition and she is the defending champion. This same team beat Cote D’ivore 4 goals to 1 in 2008 semi final. LET’S BE PATIENT AND PRAY FOR EAGLES TO FLY.
The problem of Amodu is Lack of TACTICS couple with PRIDE that he didnt want to use Siasia boys…. Amodu rejected stone (Obasi) now became a Corner stone in yesterday match. Who knowns if amodu could come out of pride and take Adeleye, Ajilore and others, thing might not be like this,,,,
That is always the case when mediocre are allowed to rule. I don’t see the reason why yakubu, nwaneri and yussuf mohamed who could not even trap a free ball was allowed to make the squard and Amodu finds it difficult to select a good team talkless of making good changes. please, to avoid further disgrace, NFF should swallow their pride and draft in Siasia to take over as he has what it takes to select a super squard that will make us proud in the world cup or are we still hoping to progress from this stage because nigeria will not win benin talkless of mozambique from the turn of events.
NFF, Lulu, Ogunjobi et al; Since you said you’ll swim or sink with Amodu, it’s time to start sinking o! No life jackets pleasssse!
AMODU AND IS IN-LAW YAKUBU OUR GOD IS SEE YOU PEOPLE
Amodu has done it again. They said they will SINK WITH HIM and tactically with what happend yestarday they will sure sinnk with him. God in heaven will punish mumu sorry i mean lulu and his family for his self interest. They no longer care about the pedigre of the nation any more currupt leaders thunder fire glass house.
Patience, people.The nations cup is not over yet. Suppose this is a round-table summon for Amodu, he will wriggle out very easily If we cry for his head. His argument? THIS IS JUST THE FIRST MATCH, AFTER ALL EVEN MIGHTY TEAMS LIKE CAMEROON & COTE D’IVOIRE HAD LOST TO THE SAME EGYPTIAN TEAM BEFORE. I am sure Amodu knows that the semi-final target given to him is a ploy. It’s another way of telling him AMODU, WE KNOW YOUR TEAM WILL NOT MAKE IT THAT FAR. BUT WE CAN’T JUST SACK YOU. JUST DO YOUR BEST, FAIL, AND GET FIRED.
So friends, let’s wait and see how far this team can go. Like someone said earlier on, Algeria’s case is was. They stopped the Egyptians from going to the WC, now they’ve lost to Malawi. But I think that it will do us all a lot of good if we wish Amodu well, not bad.
Well, this was a woeful performance from Nigeria. I truly belive now that we lack a sound technical aspect of the game. Any previous result that had gone to the praise of dat Amodu was conjured by the boys. We have 11 players, but no coach in the real sence of it.
NFF shine your eye
SUPER CHICKEN SUCKS, YAKUBU IS BIG FOR NOTIN( A BIG FOOL) AMODU IS AN IDIOT. KUDO’s TO OGBUKE OBASI
Guys, is Amodu is still the coach -:)
Yakubu Aiyegbeni has no business in the national team. I don’t why Amodu used him.
Yakubu Aiyegbeni has no business in the national team. I don’t know why Amodu used him.
pls overhaul dem all inclusive of d coaching crew.
Shame to you Amodu!!! So its true that Yakubu is your kinsman, thats why you kept the sluggish, over-weight, big for nothing fool to compliment your foolishness. WASC is out! You can never lead Eagles to S.A. Everything was technically messed up!
honestly,i wasn’t expecting anything 4rm the s/e.when u ve visionless ppl like those rogues in glass house and fools like amodu,drug addict like peterside idah and jobless cowboys like amokachie,alloy agu thats the best u will always get. infact, i m also disappointed with comp.sports.
The problems had been NFF+AMODU.we all new quite well that Amodu lacks the tactical know-how because SE has the material to execute their plan but somebody in charge should be able to transform good individuals to a team.We saw a promising first half,but rather tactically unfurnished 2nd half.Yakubu would have been left off the team,i felt this guy has two left legs moreover SE needs fast ,strike that could go for one to one.Joseph Akpala plays in Belgium ,the friendly he played against France was very good.even after the nations cup friendlys should be organised,and not assembling plays 2weeks before the tournament and expect miracle.Lulu and all his kinsmen should resign for ex/footballer to take controll.
A foreign coach is not the solution to the problem. Siasia can do a better job than any foreign coach in this circumstance. The solution is as follows: Disband the current team. Appoint Siasia as the technical adviser with full authority and responsibility for team selection and tactics. Let him start a new Super Eagles Team with fresh players that can still run. If we appoint a foreign coach that does not know anything about our local football, he will still pick these same old, tired and pensionable foreign based players because of the names of the European clubs that they play for, that is, Everton, Chelsea, Portsmouth etc. We need a new young team and a fresh start and I think Siasia is the man for the job. He can start a new team without any of these old folks. They have tried for this country, let them retire before they mess up their names any further.
I wondered where our SE is heading to, there is need to change the coaching crew and NFF
ita a sad omen , the way nija started there campaign, Amodu is an uncultured maggot not fit to tinker us to SA, rubbish selection and substitution. Nonsense.
Do you now understand why he played a friendly behind closed door with Zambia…He is definitely not confident. I wont watch their games again cause i have better things to do. they should call me when they are ready.
When they were bragging about beating Egypt, I told everyone who cared not to stake their neck on the super Eagles, because they are a bunch of dissapointment. After a 2-2 draw against Tunisia in Abuja last year, I rulled out the S. Eagles.
I don’t why Amodu is disgracing and exposing our mildfeild like this, when you know dat one touch is difficult for Egytian to do and change their pattern by across to the lone striker. I expect Amodu to caution the defensive mildfielder not to move forward in the second half but they commit the same offense in the last minute of first half.
Hoping in the second match, that error will be corrected and perfected.
All hope is not yet lost, let’s see how we can salvage issue at this tournament. Amodu should please see how he can bench Yakubu and Nwaneri, they are not physically and psycologically fit to be in this team, talkless maintaining a starting jersey, let’s see how Obafemi can spearhead the attack, Obasi on the right, Nsofor on the left, Osaze playing behind Obafemi, Mikel, Etuhu in the midfield, Taiwo, Apam, Yobo and Odiah in the defence, i believe this combination will give us a good result in this tournament. Forumites, let’s still give Amodu a chance.
Up Eagles Of Nigeria. They will be Super in their next match. However, Help Amodu apologize to Adefemi, Adeleye and other Sia one boys that he was reluctant to work with. If he will not work with them for world cup, we will not allow him to take us to South Africa.
People keep saying Nigeria football is on the decline but i refuse to accept that.Almost one and a half years ago,Siasia took some young foreign based player and some relative unknown home base players to the olympics.We all know the result.We defeated all the obtacles that came our ways,even the ones that were coached by the so foreign coaches e.g ivory coast e.t.c.
AMODU,OGUNJOBI,LULU,these are the names of people that are the problem of Nigeria football.AMODU lacks tactical and technical know how.WHAT WE NEED TO DO is to bring in SIASIA and his able assitant Kalika to take over from the MUMU Amodu.Don’t forget a bulk of Amodu players were SIASIA’S BOYS.All he needs to do is to bring back the likes of Adeleye,Ajilore and a few eager home based players especially the ones he has worked with before.Only God knows why MUMU Amodu dropped these players.He never gave them a second chance just because they disappointed in one match.Thank goodness,he didn’t drop Obasi because he was on the verge on dropping him if not Zambia fiendly.He should have invited the Adeleye et al for the same friendly to see if he was wrong in his jugdement before dropping them.I know SIASIA critics will say he failed at his second coming as the coach of a junior team’but don’t he has learn’t his lessons in a big way.Has MUMU Amodu ever coached a Junior team?He should give it a try to see how difficult it is to train young players.He should go and asked COACH STEPHEN KESHI,he was once a coach of the junior team and he failed woefully.Now KESHI is well celebrated all over africa just because he had a second chance to prove himself again.Ask AMODU’s last employer (SHARKS FC) before he got this National Cake Job for his performance,he kept making excuses for his failures.Finally a good coach is not only judged based on the result alone but also on his tactics,ask fabio Capello why he was sacked as the coach of Real Madrid,also ask Scolari why he was shown the exit door at Chelsea.For all the team SIASIA has coached,they have played fantastically well with good tactics and good results that makes the entire Nigerians happy to even forget that they have a sick president including the last youth tournament where we failed to proceed beyond the quater finals,we still enjoyed it.PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE GIVE THIS JOB TO SIASIA HE CAN DO IT.
[1] @ abidemi.ur selection is not bad at all.but remember u have to include the hausa blend to the team[qota system}.chidi odia cant play, if mohammed or kieta are on the bench.[2] with the calibre of players in the team,even a crazy coach with good technicall know-how,will bring out the best in the team.take man-city as a very big example. manchini is using the same team left to him by mark hughes.but the team has worn 4matches in 4 games.{ability to place a player in a good position,read a game and interprete it clearly} i am so happy that yakubu and kanu are in great form……….lol
infact those of supporting amodu shame or shame which day 9ja people will stop sentiment, corruption, and tribalism. pls i am very happy that at the end of day we side coach worn the battle bcos what we see amodu canoot see bcos he is incompetent. let all the fooball fan match to glass house and destroy them if not they will not sack amodu. why should amodu leave Odiah, Apam on the bench and feature Mohammed Yusuf. E no go better for amodu and Taiwo Ogunjobi, Lulu and the entire NFF. I advice u all not watch the reamining match to avoid hypertension my dear football fans. May God Bless Siasia for us he is the only man that can wipe our tears
wallahi fa amodu is a joker who is after is pocket nff pls do something fast.the rejected stone OBASI became the chief corner stone.yakubu is very unfit,he shuld quit the national team.
i have a strong feeling that if we do not improve BENIN REPUBLIC will do something WORSE
why amadu sell our march because egyptian are not good is because our amodu is not tactical if amodu is tactical we could have one the mach between 4 to 3 let siasia and ricard take over eagle heave augustine egoavon can not do that mistake.
LET US NOT DECEIVE OURSELVES. AMODU IS LIKE THE SICK PRESIDENT. HE IA EVEN MORE TENSED UP THAN WE FANS.HE HAS BEEN LUCKY WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM ALL THIS WHILE. BUT YESTERDAY HIS INABILITY TO HANDLE THE NATIONAL TEAM WAS FINALLY REVEALED BY THE EGYPTIAN 2ND ELEVEN TEAM. PLZ SOMEBODY SHOULD BEG NFF TO IMMEDIATELY CHANGE AMODU BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. AMODU SHOULD HANDLE A TEAM IN DIVISION 2 NOT S.EAGLES.
Thank God for the result and I pray for more of this so that they will get rid of this blunt headed man called Amodu.
But as long as Amodu is remains our coach, we should be ready for more disappointments and heart breaks. And if there is anyone who is having Blood Pressure problem should stop watching Nigerian matches or having anything to do with Chicken Eagles for now. Or our hospitals should beep up and get ready for as many High Blood Pressure cases than ever. Because Amodu and his Godfathers (Lulu and Co.) have shown that they cannot deliver on big stage.
The best thing to do now is to start preparing for the World Cup in South Africa with the appointment of a foreign Technical Adviser. Give the foreign Coach a free hand to operate. Change the leadership of NFF. Let Sanni Lulu sink with Amodu as he has promised. Enough of these heartbreaks and high blood pressures Nigerians are made to suffer each time the Eagles play. Let’s get things right once and for all!
I so ashamed here in Algeria my friend from Cameroon want nija to win, even the other guy from Algeria want nija to win because every body hate Egypt, my Cameroon friend call me osaze and i call him eto just joke but look at how this Amodu boys just disgrace me, in from my Egypt friends, who let my house when we score the first goal and return after they equalized, i make mouth so much about Nigeria i did not know that they will disappoint this way, in fact i nearly bet my money when they score, Nigeria look for a north African coach they are of European standard and they don’t take too much money, do you know that monthly salary of Egypt coach is still the same about 8000 diner which is almost 4000 dollars but Nigeria will pay Amodu up to 1. 8 million naira a month about 8 to 10 thousand dollars and he will give us this rubbish.
Uche okechuchkwu has finish his school in London as an football administrator please let fooballers manag faootball for us give him that NFF chirman just like other players in the world manag their football, even oliseh has finish as a coach he can handle Eagles, look at keshi Nigeria open una eye oooooooh our football is dieing
I wander y some pple r pointing accusing finger at Enyeama when we all saw what happened in the field. A goal keeper is as good as his defense. We had no Coache ,no defenseand no finisher in d match , so what will u xpect a keeper to do when he was d last man standing?
I quite agreed with you FRANK…… FORENIG COACH AT THIS HOUR WOULD BE ANOTHER DISASTER !! SIASIA SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN WITH HIS OLYMPIC TEAM PLUS ANY PLAYERS SIASIA FEELS COULD FIT IN . GRATEST PROBLEM OF AMODU IS PRIDE AND LACK OF CONTROL OVERD THE BIG BOYS COUPLED WITH LAZINEESS AND TECHNICAL ABILITY……HE DROPED THE BEST LEGS THE DEFENCE ( ADELEYE, AJILORE,ADEBAYO) AND ALMOST OBASI JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE SIASIA BOYS !!!. ANY WAY HE HAS SEEN HIS PICTURES NOW, THE ONLY THING THAT PAINS IS OUR RECORDS HE ALLOWS THE EGHPTIAN TO BRAKE BECAUSE EVER SINCE 1970 THAT I WAS MATURED TO BE WARTCHING FOOTBALL NO ANY EGHPTIAN TEAM EVER BEAT NIGERIA….EMERGING WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPEN TO US IF THE BEST 3 TOP PLAYERS THAT DEFEATED CEMEROUN AND DROGBA TEAM WERE TO PLAY YESTERDAY , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 11-0. EVEN EGHPT SUPRISED THEMSELF……..AMODU CANNOT GIVE WHAT HE DID NOT HAVE ..CAN YOYU IMMERGING AMODU BENCHING MIKEL , YOBO, YAKUBU..HE DARES NOTTO EVEN GIVE ANOTHER PLAYER CAPTAIN BAND WHEN YOBO IS AROUND LET ALONE BENCHING HIM.
YOU ALL CAN SEE THAT ADELEYE WAS GRATLAY MISSED B/C WHILE TAIWO WAS DOING HIS OVERLAPPING WICH WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM MORTHERN N0.2 & 3 NWANERI DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DO COVERING UP….THE ATTACKING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INITIATED BY N0. 3 WAS DEAD BY YUSYUF INSTEAD OF CHIDI ODIAH OR ADEBAYO……SIASIA IS THE ONLY NIGERIAN COACH THAT HAS ALL THE ATTRIBUTE TO PERFORME SUCCESSFULLY AT THE WORLD CUP BECAUSE IF SIASIA WERE TO BE APPOINTED TO DAY SOME UNPRODUCTIVE BIG PLAYERS WILL LEAVE WITHOUT BEEN TOLD AND THE REMAINING YOUNG ONES LIKE MIKEL WILL HAVE A CHANGE OF ATTIUTUDE B/C THEY ALL KNOW WITH SISAIA NO ONE IS GUARANTTE OF MAKING TEAM NOT TO TALK OF AUTOMATIC SHIRT…..AND FOR OUR NFF THEY CANNOT IMPOSE YUSUUF MOHAMMED OF THIS WORLD TO SIASIA.
so this is why he was talking about close door traning? to come and deliver us to egypt cheaply na wa ooo, Amodu you are too much how much did they pay you, Idiot, i nearly cry in front o my tv all my friends where here in my house boath cameroon egypt senegal algeria we all where supportung nija
siasia or what ever i will only face my tv and watch nigeria match again in the world cup if nigeria call stephen keshi back put siasia under him because keshi has more experienced he is the first nigeria profesional player in belgium and has good coaching record, amodu bosting to qualifiy nigeria to world cup can he do it out side nigeria which country will even call amodu to coach them, then if they can also allow amockachi to be under keshi plus Austin eguavon, because amockachi is the only man that stand up and talk to the boys always if possible call sunday oliseh we need him so much since he left no body could be able to replace him at list with this big boys let me see where this dead woods will be stobon to them
well fellow football lovers , is a bitter spit to swallow ” i new this will happen as far mumu amodu is heading the team , TAIWO OGUNJOBI , and SANI LULU, may GOD never forgive you guys for spoiling the only thing that brings happiness to NIGERIA ,let see what they play in the remaining two matches thanks , steven from turkey .
It is very unfortunate that super eagles fell at the hand of pharoes due to technical and tactical indiscipline from our technical crew.Analysing the match,the defence was porous.Taiye Taiwo unecessarily over lapped and failed to return on time.The combination of Yobo and Nnwaneri at the heart of the defence was not the best.Since Adeleye has been schemed out due to intrigues,Apam and Yobo could have been better,at least.Odiah should have been part of the match for his experience and skills instead Yusuf Mohammed.Our mid-field was splendid and okay in first half.The greatest technical blunder Amodu made was removing Mikel substituted with Kanu. Mikel,though failed to live to the expectation but was better than Kanu who could not marshal the midfield due to his age.Attacks- Yakubu was a misfit in that match.He could not even try a shot.Only Obasi performed brillantly.Kalu Uche was below average.SUGESSTED SOLUTIONS. Line Up-Yobo,Odiah,Taiwo,Ayila,Etuhu,Mikel,Obasi,Kalu,Osaze,Martins and Enyeama.Let us be optimistic.Super Eagle can still make it.
i m very happy that the almighty egypt who are current defending champion in African football showed the world that coach Amodu is not competent enough to handle our national team. i will be glad if our so call super eagles will crash out in first round so that amodu will sack together with his assistants . i want to ask this questions to our Nigeria football federation , why did they choose amodu to be our national coach since we all know that amodu did not on his life time be a footballer? i will also like NFF TO TELL NIGERIANS WHERE THESE THREE GREAT PLAYERS ARE THEY, ADELEYE, AJILORE,ADEBAYO. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HAVE THE WORLD CUP COACH AS WELL PLAYERS WHO WILL FACE DANGEROUS MESS I. AMODU SHOULD BE SACK NOW.
Those of us supporting the team( Coach and Players) have been dubbed AMODU Supporters. You said it all NIGERIAN are COWARD, they leave the truth and chase shadows. WHY Blame AMODU or the PLAYERS for the woe befalling NIGERIAN FOOTBALL?
I honestly will not join the bandwagon. I remain patriotic to NIGERIA and thus supports whoever is there. Criticism are welcomed, I like most others who have remained faithful to the team never said AMODU is the best or so, The issue we have painstakingly stood by is that we cant chop and change all the time. Since Westerhof left in 1994 until now, all the coaches we have had has always been under pressure and of all those coaches AMODU still posted the best results.
We lost to EGYPT, but the team played well, they conceded cheeky goals, yes great teams do concede when least expected. We cannot kill AMODU or the players for failing to win the Nations cup when our leaders who are suppose to make things happen in the country are looting away our resources. If The venom at which soccer fans have used to castigate AMODU in the last 2 years had been used on the Government, i am sure things would have changed but alas, people leave the govt and face poor AMODU. share act of COWARDICE.
I am still confident that the eagles will bounce back. The draw between MOZ and BENIN has given us a life line. Now no room for errors. SO lets wait and see.
THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH
I am not surprised and it is expected. Amodu packed injured player to cup of Nation and expect any result?. This man is a failure. Please let us accept any outcome. Ojo oba is not helping the matter. He claimed that this was the way they planned for world cup qualifier and they qualified. It is painfull that 160million people will allaow these kind of people in glass house to be leading us. AHHHHHH
It is a very big shame on Nigeria to still remain at this level in football it is very discouraging. It is better not to have a team than to have this kind of unproductive set of footballers. How i wish FIFA could jst place a kind of ban on Nigeria not to participate in any tournament cos we don’t have a football team at all. The whole thing is messed up both the coach and the tchnical crew they have failed.
This is blatant nonsense,am expecting to see more heart break as the competition progresses.
AMODU IS JUST A GOD FORSAKEN FOOL THAT CANNOT MEET UP TO EXPECTATIONS.I HOPE THE NFF OR WOULD UNDERSTAND AND SEND HIM PACKING BEFORE WE EXPERIENCE WHAT HAPPENED TO ALGERIA IN THE HANDS OF MALAWI IN SUBSEQUENT MATCHES BECAUSE HE HAS REALLY DISGRACED THE NATION.HE DOES NOT DESERVEE TO BE THERE AT ALL.
INFACT MAKE I YARN MY MIND? THE WHOLE NFF OF A THING BE ASS HOLESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Give Amodu a break all of you, he needs money to fuel his jeep, let him be atleast he’ll drive that around during the wc in SA
Assuming the SE camp was a corporate business, the coach and other members of his crew would have been sacked for lack of performance and gross negligence. I would like to point the attention to the following
1) Our strike force Yak and Oba are both injured. Yak is only getting back to full fitness and Oba is just not fit hence Mumudu waited for medical clearance before naming his team. WOW!!!!!!.
2) Are there no other NIgerian born strikers in the world. Obasi was to be excluded and he scored.
3) Mumudu is lazy going out to look for talents even in the home league.
4) Technically Mumudu is bankrupt, he knows it and so does the NFF, why has nothing been done to rectify this.
The Egyptians squad is made up of mainly home based players and the sure outplayed the so called stars.
Lulu, Mumudu must GO
Enyeama
Chibuzor Adeleye Olubanjo Echiedele
Mikel
Obasi kalu Osaze Nsofor
Martins
Even God know say na our eagles be dis but fear and corruption no allow the glass house and Amodu do wetin we need.
i dont have anything to comment on,on that match. i beg make una help me halla that chair man,that father of the day,that man of the match OBASI i beg u too much
I think the problems we are having in Nigeria Super Eagle is mostly caused by Nigeria press,They are the one in surpport of local coach,beleived so much in somebody like Amodu that has nothing to offer Nigeria.Serious i will not be happy if Nigeria quallify from that group becouse that will be wake up for NFF or NFA .
Just take a look at the demostration of supper eagles in the first half of the game, what i saw was a team work. The present coach is physically fit as a coach but not tactically fit as a coach. Fine substituting Sofo for Kalu, but tactically wrong subtitutung Kanu for Mikel the distribution of the ball while Ayabani was out of the game, Apan would have come in to stop Zidan bcos is made to disorganize an opponent plans i wonder why such player remain on the bench. Pls tell Amodu to copy under 17 2009 coach formation. Scoring first then chuck ur defend and ur midfield and play 1 man attack just what we saw from our opponent that gave them 3 points.
Ireland ! God bless you ! We should forget this Nations Cup. If they do not remove Amodu for the World Cup .No problem. We go to SA , we lose and they disband both the NFA and the team. We start afresh. If any useless person comes again to mess up our joy , we carry placard this time around. This is their time. Our own time will come in Jesus name . Useless people. You remove Mikel for Kanu !!! You leave Yakubu for 90 minutes. How much bribe have they been given this chap ? It is total madness. I rest my case
Fisrt I want to tell Mumini or whatever he calls himself should start going out with security men else he would be kidnapped and pay dearly so that next time he will not solicit for somebody he knows nothing about, we the south south fans promise him that. No hidden place for u. and for complete sports, I want all Nigeria fans to stop their sales any where they are sold for they are giving us fake news and not only that collect money from players to sing their praises and soliciting for coaches, anybody found selling complete sports should be bitten up and maimed. And for Gbenga who said Nigeria does not have players to win nation cup even if they are been coached by the best coach in the world. But gbenga I tell u give these players to coaches like Arsen Wenger, Alex Ferguson, Jose Morhino, Carlos Anceloti, Guus Hiddink to mention a few. Young was blaming Eyeama for the goals, even great Schunmichael, Petr Czech, Van Der Sar, Ike casillas, Buffon, Shay Given, Khan etc. wouldn’t have saved any of the goals. Capello qualified England for the world cup, no party, no jeep, no 1million for fuel but Mozambique qualified us for the mundial and MUMU AMODU was rewarded for what he did not do. When I said the four defenders we used against France shouldn’t have been changed Mumini opened that his stupid mouth and said the selection Amodu made is ok which we’ve promised him no hidden place for in that Lagos. Can Spainish coach remove Iniesta, Xavi, Fabrigas or Alonso for old Hiero or Raul in such a phisical match? If NFF does not sack Amodu now and replace him with Siasia and Oliseh or better still a good foreign coach, they will be kidnapped one by one or better still their secretaries will poison them. God save 9ja.
INFACT THIS GUY CALLED AMODU IS SO MYOPIC HOW COULD HE PUT THAT FAT PIG IN THE GAME FOR 15 MNUTES NOT TO TALK OFF 90 MINS AIYEGBENI IS A USELESS PLAYA . P ODEWINGE MARTINS AND SON WER ON BENH U DEY USE THOSE HALF LEGS YOBO ABEG GO RESIGN AND NWANERI U NO GET LEG AGAIN TAYE TAIWO U NO SABI ANYTHING AGAIN NA TO DEY OVERLAP AND KODI KODI ….SEE A 3 SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE BOTH RYT AND LEFT FOOT INFACT THIS TEAM IS SICK MAIN CAUSE SHAIBU NO SENSE OF ORGANIZATION ..I WACTHED HIM YESTERDAY AND WAS JUST LOOKING AT IS FACE HE LOOKS LIKE A RUM MAN AND NOT COACH
Amodu why did u hav to remove my love on the feild and replace him with someone else!! huh. wot was d outcome of yo replacemen huh….,check ur teaching skills, its not all about replacein
Amodu why did u hav to remove my love on the feild and replace him with someone else!! huh. wot was d outcome of yo replacemen huh….,check ur teaching skills, its not all about replacein
this is the poorest nations cup opening match for the eagles for over 20years and i n order to avoid this type of disgrace at the world cup in june Amodu Shuaibu should be sacked now because a stitch in time saves nine. it’s clear that he did not have the technical capability for a big match, the team selection was faulty especially the attack and the defence,and it was a shameful day for all of us patriotic Nigerians all over Europe yesterday, please somebody should stop Amodu and his God fathers in the N.F.F before it’s too late. Manchester city F.C sacking of Mark Hughes and appointing Mancini is a good example, thank you
Just take a look at hte demostration of the supper eagles in the first half of the game what i saw was a team work. The preesnt coach is physically fit as a coach but tactically poor as a coach. Ok substituting Sofo for Kalu, but wrong substituting Kanu for Mikel who is the distribution of the ball and left Ayebani who was completely out of the game Kanu would come in for Ayebani instead of Mikel to boast the attacking force on oponent side. Apan would come in to stop Zidan bcos is made to disorganize an opponent plans inshort i wonder why such player remain on the bench. Pls tell Amodu to copy under 17 2009 coach formation. Scoring fisrt then chuck ur defends and ur midfield and play 1 man attack just what we saw from our opponent that gave them 3 points.

The disgraceful defeat that the Super Eagles of Nigeria suffered from the Egyptians wasn’t a surprise at all to most soccer loving Nigerians…The fact still remains that the Eagles lack a good technical coach and a fighting spirit….It’s a known fact that each time the present eagles scores a goal, the opponent is likely to equalize because the Eagles lack a collective fighting spirit and total concentration….
Tunisia’s equalizer in Abuja is a good example of the whole issue..
The key to success is 120% concentration….A team that scores first may end up been a loser at the end of the day if she fails to concentrate……
The coach and the players, most especially the back four should be blamed for this show of shame!!!!!!
AMODU IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. IAM SURE IT WAS NOT NIGERIA’S NATIONAL TEAM THAT PLAYED EGYPT, IT WAS COACH SHAIBU AMODU’S TEAM OF MEDIOCRES AND OVERRATED BIG HEADS. SURELY, WIN OR LOSE THE NATIONS CUP, I THINK AMODU SHOULD FORGET ABOUT LEADING NIGERIA TO SOUTH AFRICA. HE HAS FAILED.
Well,its very embarrasing watching a great as Nigeria playing like a school boys,..i spoke with Mikel yesterday after the match and he felt disappointed..We the chelsea players are strongly behind our african players in the likes of drogba,kalou,essien and mikel..
The most painful news there is after some few conversation with mikel he explained how the administration of their team works,..there are some division in that team,especially when the FA impose some players to the coach and it goes contrary to what the players wants..Everyone want to win a cup in that calibre but with the authourity and some tribalistcal imput makes the team looks like a low class team.Even to the extend that the coach start having problem with the captain,..cos their career is at stake..In England,football were running with the correct men in the correct time,FA has nothing to do with the team except when needed..
But i strongly believe that the Nigerians will bounce back and it will be a mistake writting them off now..They has to change their tactics and use the best legs,..I hope they will learn from this…
WHEN WILL POLITICS STOP KILLING NIGERIA ,EVEN IN FOOTBALL?MAY GOD HELP US .
ANYWAY JESUS IS COMING SOON WHERE WILL HE MEET U
Amoudu was awarded 1million naira and a jeep for world-cup qualification.{i support the move} the same Amoudu has failed to defeat the egyptians so please he should pay a fine of 500,000 naira,and should buy a small car for mallan lulu. {i am support this too much}
That is why I dont respect the comments of the so called espert b/c they dont know but pretend to. on AIT, NTA they are paid to come and say and write what they dont know. As for amodu an nff by the time people will go to hospital for high blood pressure they will know what they are doin
@ F Lampard, Don’t be a joker. This is a serious forum
When dere is a fight between two players does not mean coach and his crew to support one and sanction the other. This is absolutely rubbish that is the reason why Adeleye was not included bcause of the conflict or disagreement between Him and Mikel. Both Adeleye and Mikel are good player don’t break the team into factions which is happen in our politics today. Let us fight, let remove sentiment from moving nation forward.
I dont know why we people are blaming Amodu for last night performance,i think Taiwo Ogunjobi and his fellow mafia in the glass house should be blamed not Amodu.They are the ones that force him on the team
please the goal keeper trainer should try and use dele ayenugba our so call enyeama is not in good shape look at the goals he conceive please try other keeper so that we can move forward thanks.
chris you dont know any thing about football no goal there you will bleim the goal keeper, even ika carsilars will consive 10 goals if his defenders did not protect him
Nigeria player matins has return to his club news
one of the biggest lessons learnt from other participating teams is that big names don’t play football…..if Gabon could hold beat cameroun with players from the French 3rd division and other far flung places; by playing a disciplined and tactical match for 90mins, then what are the likes of olofinjana, yusuf mohammed,etuhu and Nwanneri doing in that Team u call the Super Eagles?
Amuneke once shouted it loud and clear sometime in ’08, that we cant all play for Barcelona or Chelsea at a time, hence the need to look for Eagles’ materials from around other leagues in the world.
I rest my case for now….’am just too upset to type….back to you Mumuni.
Everything has been said already. We need a good coach and all the current players should all be dropped with the exception of Obasi, Osaze & Eneramo. We need to look @ new players from our u-17 & 20. If this is not done, then Nigeria is not yet serious about football yet.
