Nice one my man.
We seriously need another CDM we can’t always reply on Ndidi we also need to add intensity on our games.
The Portugal team isn’t better than Algeria
If you want to test your team against a fierce opponent, play Ghana. They are the reason why Nigeria hired you
You beat Nicaragian yesterday. No, Nigarusi. Sorry, I mean Nicaragunia. Damn! What’s the name of the country again??? Oh, yes, I had to go to Google and it helped me. I remember now, you played Nicaragua yesterday and won 1 – 0. Hurrah!!!
Who’re you playing next? India? Pakistan? Or Malta? Perhaps Cuba. I can bet Ghana will emerge victorious.
Listen to this rubbish. Didn’t you play Algeria team B and draw? Stop smoking weed. Lesser known teams have beaten you in Africa, Or you want me to mention names?
You mean like Comoros? Lol.
With all your numerous appearances at the world cup, you’ve never gotten to the quarter finals. Keep preparing for the afcon. Support Ghana at the world cup
Even in the days of Tony Yeboah and Abedi Pele Ghana lost to Rwanda and Liberia!
Ndidi or no Nidid, these guys are a average players who can’t give more than they have. For us to get back to the peak of our game, the coaching crew needs to work hard, Nigeria is blessed with talented players.
You black shit stars beat a team ranked 150 in world football. You call that an achievement?
It is too early for this man to play Ghana. Make him rest small. You no go make person enjoy? Which kind wahala be dis
Better.
The worst team I can support is that shit black apes, for over 40 years no football glory in Africa, over 40 years no Best African player award. I will drum support for all African countries going to world cup but not black ass star
Ghana has more Afcon trophies than Nigeria, has won more African best players award than Nigeria, has a better record in the world cup than Nigeria . Abedi won it in succession in the 90s.
Sleep on that past glory… Black shit..what have you done for me lately…same ol’shit….
But Ghana never reach 5th in FIFA ranking but Nigeria make it so stop compare Nigeria with Ghana.
What as killed our football is over reliance on foreign based layers .what the coaches have failed to realise is that life is a game of luck. Whatever league a player does determine how good a player is.Understanding this paradigm is what made westerhof , kechi and Bonfere Joe stand out SE coaches till date. Let’s comb our local leagues . charity they say begins at home. There are many good midfielder waiting to be discovered. Ndidi quite unlike Mikel is becoming too injury prong and very unnriable .Good luck to all deserving SE fans
Pls bro, I beg you, stop going backwards. We have more than enough players in Europe . We can name different players that can replace Indidi from Europe. What ended the tenor of keshi and Bonfere? SACK! So please. It’s only a fool that will lose and refuse to try again. It’s no more news that our league is rubbish. Even few of the home based players Paseiro ( that resumed work yesterday) first called up against Mexico/Ecuador have gone to Europe already so who’s fooling who. Pls, look for better comments I beg. Or give names of better players that you know from our league next time you want make case for players from NPFL. Enough of we have players from our league. Just be specific, who are the players?
Hmmmmm @Four Four 2 to say I am highly dissapointed is an understatement. really over realiance on Foriegn based players? really How many injuries did we have again. If Algeria were with out Ismael Slimani, Riyad Mahrez, Ismael Bennacer and co how will they fare against a Full strength Nigerian Squad. that is the thing with Nigeria when we lose even on the right track you want us to dismantle the whole squad and put in players that cannot qualify for common CHAN again Super Eagles is for the highest level in football and the highest level players ply thier trade in Europe.
Algeria’s best players Oga where are they based?.. Abeg you people if you have nothing better to suggest rather keep mute.
COACH PISERO IF NDIDI, OSIMHEN AND DENNIS FAIL TO TURN UP FOR THE NEXT GAME AGAINST PORTUGAL THEN. THEY SHOULD BE BANNED FROM AFCON 2023 PERIOD WE NEED TO DISCIPLINE THESE PLAYERS WHO CANNOT EVEN QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP BUT ARE DOING GUY MAN EGO EVERYWHERE!. I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF THIS OSIMHEN AND NDIDI STORY.
P>S> OSIMHEN HAS BEEN TRAINING WITH NAPOLI SINCE THE START OF THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK.
HOW CAN TWO OF OUR BEST PLAYERS KEEP LETTING US DOWN THEN DAY AFTER LOSS THEY WILL START POSTING USELESS MEME’s OR HAIRCUT VIDEO’s ON THEIR VARIOUS SM HANDLES. THIS BOYS ARE NOT AS PATRIOTIC AS US FANS IT IS CLEAR
@Top it, @Yaw, @Fetch even @selfmade…
You people are very right. Ghana is the best in Africa. They will even win the World Cup unbeaten. Who’s Belgium, who’s Argentina or Germany? Ghana is going to shock the world! That’s why Brazilian players that won you with luck and also defeated Tunisia are demanding to meet Nigeria since they know we are weaker than Ghana. To them, they want a better team from Africa. Not knowing that Ghana is the best. You have our support. Go and shake the World and bring the cup home to Africa. At least let us rest in this forum.
Lol! indi Ara.
Lol!
@Sean they are not only mad they are exhibiting signs of delusion in the highest order
No mind dem @Ugo
Well said Brodaman. Ghana will fall.
@YAW PAW PAW HEAD, @Selfmade Mumu una think say we don forgot wettin happen for January. oya make I remind una.. Ndi Ara indeed.

Hello guys” after the algeria friendly few nights ago i want to say i thought playing friendly matches was for future purpose cus i noticed we don’t take advantage of these matches instead of using these matches to perfect some certain areas eg discovering of new players, perfecting formations and tactics, etc yet we waste these opportunities imagine since in the era of rohr we have not been able to solved super eagles goalkeeper issues it shows our national team coaches are not serious its high time we should start using opportunities very well.
Home based keepers will solve our goal keeping issues the easier they start looking in that direction d better
Yes… like Olorunleke OJo, like John Noble, like Ezenwa, like Chigozie Agbim. We need to look inwards.
