Who will play Egypt build up friendly? These set of SE are strange for me. Their Ego and reasoning is odd no wonder the team crumbled and failed to nick WC ticket after having a lifeline. Okocha and Mikel’s set were the last reasonable set. Exception to Lookman the rest are full of themselves!!!
When finidi was complaining, you all kept defending them. Bunch of entitled players
It seems Nigerians do have a short memory, the same Okocha who was the reason Nigeria failed to qualify for 2006 WC? He used to pick matches to play at that time, his absence during the match away to Angola lead to us losing 3 points to Angola hence Angola, with same points amassed, was able to qualify on head-to-head rule (we drew our home match with then in Kano or Kaduna
Watch glimpses of usman Mohammed ttps://youtu.be/tq1L7XvLhhE?si=wocTDfuxagE3Y01x
stop promoting shit, a player in Israeli second division is nothing but crap as national team is concern, he even got a red card in his last match playing among his mediocre players. He is nothing but a meal ticket. Stop this nonsense. Usman is crap complete rubbish. If you have been paid to do his bidding on this platform, then you missed it. STOP THIS NONSENSE and ENOUGH
Oga go and rest, the ones playing for division one players, what have they achieved as a team. Simple congo had 2nd division players in their team and dealt with your over-hype stars. So leave the coach for inviting a second division player
…this guy usman mohammed distinguished himself at Rio 2016 playing with Mikel, Etebo and Azubuike. His career wasnt helped by lack of invitation to Super Eagles for over 5years that Gernot Rohr was in charge. The man Gernot Rohr did not help our football at all. Rohr made some players fell invincible.
Hahahaha….Rohr left 4 years ago, where has your Rio Olympics wonder boy been in the last 4 years under 5 different coaching dispensations……LMAOOoo. Where was he after Rio….? He went from Rio MVP to being clubless in less than 2 seasons, then the Russian 2nd division, and finally the Israeli 2nd division
Rohr gave over 60 players their debuts during his time; those who are good enough became mainstays of the SE. Chaffs like Usman were winnowed out to the oblivion of backwater leagues where they belong. Or is Usman Mohammed also better than Ndidi, Mikel, and all SE midfielders combined too……LMAOooo?
I hope your football has been better in the last 4 years than it was under Rohr……LMAoooo.
Ndi there is nothing special about qualifying for tournaments…….LMAOooo. Now your NFF is looking for every backdoor arrangement possible to get the SE to qualify for the WC……LMAOooo
Stop promoting what is not promotable, Israel div 2 football player selected to a national team. Haba, this is bullshit.
It is a known fact that CAF asked FAs to pick up to 28 players and CAF will only be responsible to 23 while FAs will handled accommodation, logistics etc for the remaining players. For an NFF that is in owing here and there, its no rocket science where that 5 spaces will go to.
All thos Commending this inclusuion of this Usman fellow who is dwelling in Cyprus second division or is it Israel, Well I don’t expect anything less From Nigerians they are also to blame for NFF’s Faliures as some of their Clamours are worrying!!, Instead of this Coach to include Orban and Uche in this list he went to go and Call up a 31 year old playing in the Second division of or non ranked Club who even told him about this player!!. ANyway this smells of NFF and Aboki intereferrence once again even after they have made us fail the WC they still interfere!!! lol as that Hooligan Gusau said Government have interest in NFF as it is an image of the country!!. So what did you all expect even though it is well knowledge that as of now 16th December 2026 the only Northereners good enough to be considered for Super Eagles are Zaidu Sanusi and Umar SadiQ with te latter being like 7th in the pecking order currently.
Nigeria Failed Country and Failed state
You have said it all @Ugo.
