CSN can you give us the QUALIFYING DATES SCHEDULE for GENERAL ROAR’S TEAM BENIN REPUBLIC…
@MONKEY POST go and look for CSB Complete sports Benin maybe you will see your Oga Rohr news there.
Oh, how I wish it was Rohr in this kind of weak and easy group….
Our super eagles would’ve qualified with 3 games remaining….
But let’s see what Peseiro or whoever our pot-tommy,selfish and greedy thieves masquerading themselves as leaders in that glass house want to hire can offer, after all na sidon look we dey
SHALOM
@UBFE and MONKEY POST. Are you people not tired of this Mediocre mindset. What can Rohr do against Hugo Broos??????.. let me tell you Hugo Broos is a 100 percent a tactician compared to Rohr incase you people do not know that. One of Nigeria’s biggest obstacles is Hugo Broos because Pesiero is not even on the same level as Broos.. Nigeria should realise this our only advantage in this game will be the selection criteria if we select our best 25 players worldwide to prosecute these games then we will stand a chance that will level the playing field but if Nigeria dares to impose NPFL PLAYER’S on Pesiero for these games. Go and mark it somewhere Hugo Broos team will run circles around us because, Pesiero will be at a disadvantage
Instead of you people to be suggesting better suggestions una go dey Rohr up and dan. Nawa for una o.
No be d same Hugo broos wey rorh use clean floor when him dey coach Cameroon,no need to argue check head 2 head btwn d 2 and tell us who pass who
No be the same Hugo Broos wey use Carry African Cup of Nations trophy no need to argue go check am out. How many Trophies wey Rohr get for him belt. Case Closed.
*Cameroon*
Him carry afcon finish come collect 4-0 for Rorh hand,world cup him no even see u come dey rate am as second to Legendary Renard as far as I’m concerned him and Rorh na d same level dem dey tactically afcon or no afcon
Ugo leave this liars or clowns who forgot why Rohr was sacked or maybe they are forgetful of his poor run even against teams ranked hundred below Nigeria. Rhor and Peseiro is the same incompetent mechanic used to play corruption on Nigerians by NFF.
Do not write off any team
We need Amuneke pls . Jose peseiro is not a good coach. We performed badly under this coach.
I beg to differ. Jose Peseiro is the right man for the job. The be able to coach the Super Eagles you need a core skill: ability and willingness to works with NFF’s haphazard way of managing our football.
In this area, Peseiro passes with flying colours. Bring Pep Guardiola to coach the Super Eagles, after just 1 week on the job, he will run back to Manchester City without so much of a wave goodbye.
Even for the Women’s Olympic Qualifiers, I will be willing to leave Waldrum to coach the team despite his tactical inadequacies. He knows how to deal with this incompetent NFF. That is what matters for you to coach Nigeria.
Deo Jose Peseiro is not good coach for Super Eagles, look at his results, his bad style of play, he leaves defence without organized play, so the competitor team strikers score goals , look at Sierra Leone match scored tow goals without organized defensive midfield and center backs; SE need World class coach who can make SE formidable team.
Amuneke is far better than Jose
