Rohr: Pinnick Responsible For Super Eagles’ Failure To Qualify For Qatar 2022

Rohr: Pinnick Responsible For Super Eagles’ Failure To Qualify For Qatar 2022

Former Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr says the decision to sack him by the then Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president, Amaju Pinnick cost the team a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Rohr was sacked last December after guiding the Super Eagles to the playoff round.

The Super Eagles however failed to qualify for the global soccer fiesta after losing on aggregate to eternal rivals, Black Stars of Ghana.

“Pinnick said my dismissal will avert a disaster, but in the end he created the disaster that cost Nigeria the ticket to the World Cup,” Rohr told Eagle7FM Sports Radio in an interview anchored by Osasu Obayiuwana.

“I regret that I did not take my team to win the World Cup, I regret my players will not be at the World Cup even though they deserve to be there.

“It was not my decision, it was a decision by Pinnick and his board.

“He was punished for this as Nigeria lost the chance to win the AFCON and did not qualify for the World Cup.

“I hope he takes better decisions now as a member of the FIFA Council.”

Rohr will be in Qatar for media work.

    As long as Nigerians try to put the issue of Rohr misadventure behind, it will keep hunting Nigeria football till after the world cup or till next Nations cup. The pain of missing the greatest football show piece in the world is beginning to sink in now.
    We had it all together until the biggest witch-hunt of Naija football happened. We sacked the coach that met all his targets to avoid disaster. Guess what happened we accquired disaster. As my respected forumite usually says, Nigeria will do well for some till they go and press the self distruct bottun which they usually do around the world cup period.

    I hope we learn the necessary lessons to avoid the next disaster. But my fear is that we hardly learn. Nigeria has now become a training material for world cup bound team, what a new low.

  • God Forbid Disgusting Media and Nigerians. The Begining of Wisdom is realising this Coach had Dead Ideas and Tactics he is useless. and will remain so. He would have got worse it is so easy to look back now that he has gone and say If I was there but the truth is Nigeria became Stagnant and redundant under him, He started Inviting on face value and not merit. He left the team in shambles and Eguavoen selected the best legs for SE for the Ghana Games albeit Ndidi and Iwobi missing due to Injury and suspension respectivly (The Real reason we are not in QATAR) Rohr left Cerezo with trying to put together the strongest 11 for the first time in 3 years. and what was he suppose to do jell a team that hadn’t played together until the Ghana Game Please… Who does this mumu Rohr think he is deceiving had he selected the best legs from mid June 2021 and gelled them in he still may have had a job now but no he insetad decided to make decisions like freezing Emma Dennis out the team. Rohr you are a Big Rogue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • The summary of Rohr in a nutshell constant invite of Abdullahi Shehu, Ahmed Musa. PUSHING pinnick to bring back Ighalo instead of Pushing Pinnick to bring back Victor “Magic feet” Moses. Not following up on Ademola Lookman switch instead relying On finished Musa. Fighting with and Frustrating Emmanuel Dennis. Inviting Bassey and leaving him on bench same with Awoniyi. No structure or build up play boring football. He left Cerezo with a difficult Handover people do not realise the team that played Ghana is Nigeria’s strongest 11 as of that time with the exception of injured Ndidi and Suspended Iwobi( Again the main reason we are not in Qatar). If Rohr knew where his priorities ought to have been he would have had a job still to this day. Eguavoen selected the best 11 against Ghana something Rohr had stubbornly failed to do for over 2 years instead he was petting Musa, Ighalo and Shehu. Criminal Rohr. You would have won the world cup as if it is not the same you that pushed for Ighalo when you have Osibobo on your roster and your Faliure to realise that An in form Victor Moses Who qulaified you for Russia 2018 was actually your Joker. Nonsese keep crying while you are still unemployed. Yeye dey smell.. Rubbish.. who flew to Leicester to convince Ademola Lookman to switch Shap shap was it not Cerezo?. Who gave Bassey his 2 caps needed to tie him down to Naija was it not Cerezo. Cerezo had already met with Michael Olise and Eze and was in the process of convincing them to switch something Rohr failed to do for how long over a year instead wasting resources to ask pinnick to fly And meet Ighalo when Awo was tearing up Bundesliga with Union Berlin

      It is like if you had over a broken F1 car to a driver 2 days before an important race expecting him to win the race then you are deluded period. That is what Rohr did to Cerezo

      • Greenturf 1 year ago

        Rohrs team is very unpredictable. Typical German with complicated tactics that won us games sometimes we had no business winning.Ghana got the better of us because they had a German trained coach against ours whose tactics is easily discernible.
        We lost to Ghana to superior coaching.
        Pinnick thought employing legion of local coaches,with their collective coaching ideas put together will undo the damage of sacking Rohr at the time they did.Instead it brought disaster, because sometimes a head is better than 20.

    • Dr Tee 1 year ago

      I usually always try to respect your comments on this platform. you have made some observations about the invitation of Musa to the team, which I quite agree with, while also disagreeing with some of your assertions.

      I mean no disrespect with what am about to say, I just feel really disgusted with what you just typed above. you are just being sentimental and unrealistic. everything you said above is in a bid to just substantiate your claim for Rohr’s sack.

      It is quite visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that sacking Rohr at the time Nigeria did cost us participation at the world cup. Please be a man of integrity and just accept the truth. Rohr did no wrong but rather met all targets that were set before him. A good man was actually sacked for no just cause. Stop all the lies and accept the truth, Ugo.

      • @Dr Tee summary of Rohr is the Loss to CAR in Lagos and failing to beat Cape Verde in Nigeria. That is Rohr. Period I will not sit back and watch this old man claim what he cannot achieve.

        • Dr Tee 1 year ago

          You keep mentioning these two games among the several games that he won. It just goes to validate my claim, that you are not being honest with yourself.

          Keep your pride and accept the truth. Rohr was sacked unjustly, and it affected our qualification for the world cup. This is one of the reasons Nigeria is not progressing, we see the truth, yet we try to justify false claims. Bro, just be sincere.

          • @Dr Tee Rohr Was correctly sacked and Infact tomorrow we face Portugal With Lookman, Bassey and Dennis in our Squad. All thanks to Cerezo. and handing over a solid unit to piesero on which to build. And if you Rohr Fan Boys cannot stand that then sorry like i told @MONKEY POST go and find Rohr Backyard and apply for Citizenship What Rubbish!!!!!!!

          • Dr Tee 1 year ago

            @ Ugo.

            I know you cannot just be calm and have a mature conversation. Pride will not let you. Shey we will all sit and watch other countries play at the world cup. all thanks to your godfather, cerezo. You can as well decide to be his spokesman. Nonsense… you better grow up

          • Dr. Drey 1 year ago

            Hahahaha. Dr.Tee.
            His godfather cerezo that needed 1 year to gel the team together but was disgraced by assistant coaches who were handling their teams for the first time in a matter of days.

            His godfather cerezo that expunged the names of our foreign borns for AFCON provisional squad but ran back to beg them to play for us in the WCQ when he say that his failure was imminent, yet he couldnt put them to proper use. Imagine taking off our best player in the game at kumasi (aribo) and then going on to repeat the same stupidity in abuja by removing lookman.

            His godfather that took the SE on a 3 game run in competitive matches without scoring from open play because according to him, he cannot change his arcahic tactics.

            His dumb goodfather that went looking for how to resurrect Thompson Oliha and Mutiu Adepoju instead of scouting his opponents and rejigging his tactics.

            A failure of a dumb godson will always celebrate his failure of a dumb godfather.

      • Okay now seeing as though he did everything right. Why are Musa, Ighalo, Shehu, Collins to name but a few all of Rohr Favourites not in our current squad?. Bros abeg Rohr would have done nothing but frustrate us. your opinion is yours but this narritve that Rohr would have beaten Ghana when he could not even beat CAR in Lagos is what make me Laugh in Japanese Lol!!!!!

        • Dr. Drey 1 year ago

          Hahahaha…this dog never stops barking. And now that Musa, Ighalo, Shehu and Collins are no longer in the team, you have been winning matches back to back and qualified for Qatar 2022 ….??? Useless ethnic bigot. Ewu Zimbabwe…!!!

          Only names of muslim northerners always pops up from his brains, names of players like Kenneth Omeruo and Onyekuru who keep making the SE lists without contributing anything or earning starters shirts will never get a mention.

          Rohr with his Musa, Ighalo, Shehu and Collins was qualifying for anything qualifiable and GETTING RESULTS…..underline the word GETTING RESULTS. Those are warriors, old foxes who knew how to get the job done no matter how ugly.

          Your useless and xenophobic cerezo and his 9 dullards got there, threw away all the big-game, battle-hardened experience soldiers, threw away as many foreign borns as he could, was given the best stadium in Nigeria to play in, was paid all his salaries till the last cent, had the opportunity of having 4-5 straight weeks of camping with the team, yet ended up dragging our football 40 years backwards with disgrace at AFCON and in the hands of the worst Ghana team in 40 years with his archaic 1994 tactics.

          Pls how long was Chris Hutton and Otto Addo in charge of the Ghana team that booted you out of WC after having their worst AFCON performance in 50 years…?? They didnt even have 1 full week of training with the team before they played us at Kumasi.

          A Useless bastard like you is here telling us lies about how Eguavoen did not have time to gell the team properly….LMAOoo…thunder tear that your big mouth into pieces…….LMAOoo. We should have told FIFA to give us till the year 2023 so that eguavoen can have 1 year to gell the team before 2022 AFCON and WC playoffs…..LMAOooo. As if Rohr ever had more than 3-5 days to integrate new players into the team for competitive qualifying games.

          Rohr frustrated us indeed by leading us to the WC playoffs despite playing on a pitch which CAF described as been only fit for rearing sheep and goats like you and later banned from further hosting International matches. Rohr frustrated us by WINNING All our WCQ matches AWAY from home where Sunday Dare and his servants couldnt reach with their hands of sabotage upon the team.

          Dr Tee has done well above to emphatically unveil what a cheap liar you are.

          Rohr could even afford to lose to CAR at home, draw with CPV at home and still qualify with a 2 point lead in the group….LMAOOOooo. Only Rohr could do that…..LMAOoo. Such an enigma.

          He lost to SA at home in the 2019 AFCON qualifiers and still qualified top of the group with a game to spare. He drew back to back with S/L in the 2021 AFCON qualifiers and still qualified with 2 games to spare (unprecedented record in Nigeria). He lost and played a draw at home in the 2022 WCQ and still finished top of the group with a 2 point lead…..with a team that had not been paid for 2 years…..2 solid years…….LMAOOoo…Nobody else can do that except Rohr. That was the team you are lying wasn’t properly gelled……LMAOooo

          It was against the worst Ghana team in 40 years….a team that finished bottom of its AFCON group your Cerezo drew at home and we are all gonna be watching the world cup from our parlors now……LMAOOoo.

          That’s the difference you idiot….. Rohr will lose or draw at home and we will still qualify……your local coaches have a way of drawing at home and it will be tears and sorrow all the way because we wouldnt qualify……LMAOooo

          The last time we checked, Rohr took a SE quad without 9 first teamers to Cape Verde and came back with a win. That cape verde team where only eliminated from AFCON by Senegal (eventual winners) in the same R16 we were eliminated by a 2nd string COVID ravaged Tunisian side. The Ghanaian team that eliminated us from the WC is not stronger than Capeverde you fool.

          So yes, IF ROHR COULD GET AN AGGREGATE WIN OVER CAR BY DRAWING THEM IN LAGOS AFTER DEFEATING THEM AWAY, then Nigerians can bet 100% that HE WOULD ALSO HAVE GOTTEN AN AGREEGATE WIN OVER GHANA……..Period. Rohr’s team never played 3 consecutive competitive matches without scoring a single goal in open play you senseless dog.

          And just to remind you that we lost at home to CAR thanks to your Awoniyi….yes, the same Awoniyi you are ranting about…..who couldnt put the ball into an open net.

          So Shut your stinking gut and channel your anger towards finding a strong enough chain you can use to commit suicide.

          Stop coming to vomit lies here to us that Egauvoen didnt have enough time to “gell” the team……LMAOooo. No be only gell, na Toothpaste.

          And lastly, It wasnt Eguavoen that traveled to UK to make Lookman Switch his international allegiance. Lookman’s switch process had commenced since 2020…..stop telling us cheap white lies here because you are desperate to pin the disaster idiots like you caused us on someone else.

          You will need better packaged lies to fool members of this forum.

          • Dr. Drey 1 year ago

            Hahahahaha…idiot is pained so badly since has run out of more lies to tell us….LMAOooo.

            Idiot. Eguavoen didn’t convince lookman to switch to Nigeria…stop being a cheap good for nothing liar. Fifa switches take at least 6 months to compelete at its earliest you lying idiot. Lookman started his switch as far back as in the year 2020 you fool.

            Eguavoen was only generally visiting players he had intention of calling up for the WCQ….he wasnt visiting Lookman to convince he to switch….Lookman’s swithc was already in the bag by then…..LMAOooo

            Who flew to Leicester to convince Ademola Lookman to switch Shap shap was it not Cerezo?……LMAOoooo….Pathetic liar…..LMAOooo….Ewu Madagascar

            Go and tell your father those cheap lies you cheap senseless tribal and religious bigot……LMAOOooo.

            Shameless lying bastard.

            Who flew to Leicester to convince Ademola Lookman to switch Shap shap was it not Cerezo?……LMAOoooo….Cerezo Indeed…..LMAOooo

          • I start to ponder even if you look at the thread of Victor Osimhen suggested Sanction i have noticed that it is the same Rohr lovers who are against his Sanction now lol. You same ingrates who supported Rohr Benching of him the entire duration of Afcon ’19 except for a dead rubber game against Tunisia. The same Rohr lovers who supported the suggestions of bringing ighalo back when we had good firing youngsters in Europes elite banging goals anyhow. Now these same fools are saying Osimhen should not be reprimanded for constant chosing of Fixtures now i ask this question what are these outsiders actuall intentions for the success of SE and our up wRd trajectory to try get us back to the glory days. If you look at it. It is clear these people want nothing good for Nigerian ball.

          Please you need to APOLOGISE to @DR DREY..

          • I will not apologise to a piece of shit like him. Did i insult him first?…. look at the comments Who started with the insults and Dog calling name. did i even mention his name?????????????????. This dude has been Insulting me for days and I have been keeping Mute. I a,m sick and tired of his insults on me.

            The useless dog is just pained that his lying mouth has been slapped left, right and centre once again.

            Leave him alone, let him continue to disgrace the wild animals he calls his family.

          • @MONKEY POST have you seen it. The Next Time you ask me to apologise to a mental patient please check your reason for doing so very well. Unless you and him are indeed the same person. i will cease with the insults for now. But @Dr. Drey let me remind you MUSA has finally been dropped HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!! e pain you abi? e never reesh. oya now you should consume that rat poison you always tell people to drink. Nonsense

          • Dr. Drey 1 year ago

            Hehhehehe….between you and I who is sounding like a mad idiot…..LMAOoo….who is spilling lies here and there….LMAOoo

            “…Eguavoen did not have enough time to gell the team together…..” LMAOooo…..no dont worry, we will give him 20 years to do so. The apprentices that kicked him out of both AFCON and the WC only spent a matter of few days on the job before kicking his ass.

            “…Who flew to Leicester to convince Ademola Lookman to switch Shap shap was it not Cerezo…?” LMAOooo….pls tell him to fly to london and go convince your ebere eze too to swithc shap shap so he can play against Portugal tomorrow and our next qualifier in march…..LMAoooo….since Eguavoen is now FIFA that processes International swithches within a matter of days….LMAOooo

            “…Musa has finally been dropped….” Another humongous lie. Musa was excused from the friendly having just returned to playing after a surgery. He has not been too involved in friendlies for a while now. That is how legendary captians are eased out of the national team. The fact that you’ve not realized this is the reason why you are nothing but a dog. Dumb fool….that’s how we have been treating our captains in the twilight of their international careers including those from your tribe. We excuse them from meaningless friendlies and bring them in for competitive games and tournaments. The last time we checked, Musa was invloved in the last competitive game Peserio played and contributed 2 direct assists and 2 pre-assists in the game. So if you think Musa has finally been chased out of the SE like you wish, then Im sorry to be a carrier of bad news….he hasnt.

            If you like go and hang yourself.

            Shameless Liar.

            By the way I heard FIFA has invited Roger Milla, Gyan and Etoo to Qatar WC as legends and World cup mbassadors…do you know what that means….?? It means in 4 years time Ahmed Musa, the 3rd highest scoring africa in the world cup will join that list and also be a special guest of FIFA at the World cup.

            It is with deep sense of regret I wish to let you know that you will not be able to do anything about it you bigot.

Wow wow wow, yes @ugo went too far but be sincere to yourself and read @Dr Drey message first, @Dr Tee pass his message moderately enough. But we all know drey, ugo and oakfield always throw go at each other on this forum hence I’m not surprise.

          • @Femi no mind @MONKEY POST i honestly do not believe he suggested I apologise to a crack head like Dr. Fraud upon all the names he called me. I mean I did not even mention the frauds name in any comment. But as usual any mention of His Pimp Rohr the parasite will crawl out of the gutter and start firing insults at anybody who dare mention his sugar Dadddt useless name.

            I mean calling me vile names and I should apologise to a complete lunatic like that. No damn way which is why I said I do not really think @MONKEY POST read the initial comment from that rotten ingrate to me.

            If telling white lies isnt a sign of lunacy…..I wonder what will.

            Useless fool telling us Eguavoen didnt have time to gel the team together……LMAOooo. What an excuse for failure…..LMAOoo. Shamless liar fooling himself that Eguavoen visited Lookman the the boy switch international allegiance “shap shap”…..LMAoooo. I guess your madness also comes shap shap anytime your contribution and that of your father Eguavoen to our WC ouster is mentioned. That is why lies immediately beging to flow out of every opening in your body like the Mississippi river.

            Pathetic lying bigot.

  • Dennis 1 year ago

    Clowns like omo9ja,jimmyball and odegbami assumed that anybody could coach the current crop of players and still do way better than Rohr. One even said let us fail with our own. He preferred we fail with ours than succeed with who wasn’t ours. Now, we’ll watch other teams at the world cup while we stay at home because we failed.
    I’m yet to see omo9ja clamour for Nwakali, olayinka etc again

  • Greenturf 1 year ago

    “He was punished for this as Nigeria lost the chance to win the African nations cup and did not qualify for the world cup”Apparently,Pinnick alone wasn’t punished he dragged the country along with him!
    Dare was responsible for your sack instead he used Pinnick to execute his plans.Pinnick had no choice because he was up in his ass in debt and needed government to come to his aid.
    Dare took advantage of this situation to perpetuate his evil plans,today both men are walking free going about their endeavours enjoying everydays life,whereas ordinary Nigerians are left to bemoan the disaster this two men had caused.
    Rohr is a good man who was passionate about his job,he endured a lot of unprofessional treatment just for the love he has for the super eagles and the country,he was dishing out good results making qualifications easy until now,at least we can attest to his good works.
    We know better now that it wasn’t as easy as some of us thought that our grandparents will qualify super eagles for major tournaments.
    I hope we learn because history always repeat itself in this country the knack of pressing the self-destructive button is only legendary in Nigeria.

  • KangA 1 year ago

    Take heart, bro. It’s not as if we didn’t warn them. They were too arrogant to listen. We acknowledged that Rohr was not an angel, but he was playing inelegantly, but getting results, so they should let him be. They never listened, causing us the WC spot.

    CSN has created a forum with the potential to gallivant our soccer to a higher sphere. But like most Nigerian initiatives, it is undervalued. What does NFF say to the accurate predictions of the majority of forum members against the sacking of Rohr at the time? Show humility and accept your mistakes.

  • MONKEY POST 1 year ago

    DARE, PINICK, UGO IWUNZE, CHIMA, GOLDEN CHILD, JIMMYBALL, OMO9JA, FEMI, PAPAFEM, AKP, CHINENYE, NIGERIAN MEDIA, EX INTERNATIONALS, etc all contributed to your SACK!

  • Badge 1 year ago

    This man no play Ghana before. Ghana stopped Nigeria from qualifying. It is very tough for Nigeria to beat the Black Stars.

    • Greenturf 1 year ago

      Can’t recall Rohr squaring up against Ghana.Never crossed paths with Ghana until his sack.

      • TONY 1 year ago

        @Greenturf, I like reading most of your posts here. So, this is not against you but let us get over this World Cup non-qualification stuff. No country in this world is entitled to anything. It is not written in stone that he would have qualified us for the World Cup. If he has been fired after the 2018 World Cup which was when I feel he should have been let go given that his tactical deficiency was laid bared, ”his supporters” would have been here telling us how he would have won a fourth Nations Cup for us in Egypt had he not been canned.
        A reminder for all and sundry that Nigeria does not have the exclusive right to be at every World Cup. If you doubt my summation, try asking Italy whose B national team is twice better than our over-hyped team.
        I am an ardent fan of the game of soccer and have been following the sport for decades but I am baffled by some people here continuing to moan about our not qualifying for this year’s event while our country is an economic basket.
        How many times have countries like Kuwait and UAE qualified for the World Cup? I’m sure a good number of us would like to live in those countries currently and make a living. There is more to life than qualifying for the World Cup.
        Please, wake me up when Mr. Rohr wins a trophy of any significance, something our own legend the late Mr. Stephen Keshi accomplished with ease while been constantly sabotaged by The NFF and some clueless fans.

        • Greenturf 1 year ago

          @TONY,thanks for your kind words.
          Back to the article,yeah we do not have the exclusive right to be at every world cup but we also have the right to play at every world cup by qualifying from our continent.
          Brazil,Germany,S.Korea,England,Argentina to name but a few are regular calls at every world cup not because they have the exclusive rights,the difference is the aforementioned countries have world class professionals managing their football unlike the pot bellied beer parlour men bereft of ideas we have as administrators who themselves are lacking in basic know-how in sports management.
          Talent is not enough.
          If you hand Eguavoen Brazil to manage he will not qualify them for the world cup.
          Yes we won’t have exclusive rights to be at every world cup because we are fund of messing things up and don’t deserve to be at every world cup even though the talent to achieve that feat is never lacking.

      • Femi 1 year ago

        So you 100% certain we will qualify with Rorh? Rorh this Rorh that, you guys should allow the grandpa enjoy himself and by now we expect him to be among the coach going  to the mundial if he is that good or at least have a job. With or without him, it has been written that we will watch the WC from our various screen, let’s take heart and move forward.

        • Dr. Drey 1 year ago

          So Pochettino is not good since he is without a job and yet isnt going to the world cup with any team..? Zidane too isnt good. Valverde and Cocu whom we shortlisted but wouldn’t succumb to the peanuts we are offering them as pay (nor allow themselves to be owed for 6 months) are also not good because they aren’t leading any teams to the world cup.

          Rohr should have written to other FAs to sack their performing coaches like you guys stupidly did to yours because he is desperate for a job.

          It wasnt written that we will watch the WC from home. Y’all wrote that evil prophesy for and by yourselves when y’all (buoyed by selfish and self-centred so-called exinternationals) started conjuring all sorts of lies and sabotage to get rid of him…..LMAOooo. Have you not averted the disaster you wanted to avert…..??? LMAOoooo

          Longthroats saw food they’ve not cooked and wanted to eat it, until the God of justice punished them all with defeat and disgrace…..LMAOoo

          Why are we not hearing phrases like “this is the most talented assemblage of SE” anymore….?? LMAOoo

          Why are we not hearing phrases like “any coach can win AFCON with this team in 2 weeks” anymore….?? LMAOOooo

          Why are we not hearing phrases like “why is Rohr listing only 5 midfielders” anymore….?? LMAOooo

          Where are all your CSN ex-internationals Akpoborie, Shorunmu and the rest of the accusers of the brethren who where active complainants then…???

          You fail an exam you never read for and start consoling yourself with it was written that you will fail…..LMAOoo. Dont worry, you will fail the next one and the next and the next until you realize you make your own destiny. You speak things into reality.

          I dont know why it is never written that Brazil or Argentina should fail to qualify for the world cup…..LMAOooo

          • So blame your boyfriend Rohr for giving Eguavoen a half finished product to try and mend before afcon again loser Ghana game was the first time in 3 years our strongest legs were in the same squad and they had no team chemistry if this makes no sense to you then indeed you are a truly deluded rat.

          • @mugu.Drey what is the current age of the squad facing portugal?. Anamasobri

          • Dr. Drey 1 year ago

            Idiot Ugo Iberibe Iwunze. Sensless bastard, Its evident to everyone here that you spent your days as a toddler in refuse heaps scarvenging for food. That is why your senseless are orientated upside down because you’ve spent your miserable life turning cans for left overs

            The Covid ravaged Tunisian team that booted your father and his 9 dullards out of afcon had been playing together for 10 years right….??

            Or the Ghanaian team that finished last in its AFCON group but dumped you out of the World cup with new coaches who had barely been with the team for 1 week was camped together for 20 years…?

            Deranged dog, this was our starting XI at AFCON

            Maduka Okoye
            Ola Aina
            Zaidu Sanusi
            Joe Aribo
            William Troost-Ekong
            Kenneth Omeruo
            Samuel Chukwueze
            Wilfred Ndidi
            Taiwo Awoniyi
            Kelechi Iheanacho
            Moses Simon
            Only Awoniyi is the strange name on that list, even though he had debutted under Rohr 3 months earlier and caused our defeat to CAR by missing an open goal with the scores at 0:0

            Stupid bastard, this was our starting XI for the WCQ in Kumasi

            Francis Uzoho
            Ola Aina
            Zaidu Sanusi
            Joe Aribo
            William Troost-Ekong
            Leon Balogun
            Samuel Chukwueze
            Innocent Bonke
            Victor Osimhen
            Kelechi Iheanacho
            Moses Simon
            Only Bonke is the strange name on that list even though he had debuted under Rohr 5-6 months earlier.

            Apart from Taiwo Awoniyi, that was the same team Rohr used to qualify for AFCON with 2 games to spare despite affording to draw 2 games against S/L. That was the same team that executed our WCQ and still finished with a 2 point lead despite losing 1 and drawing 1 on home soil.

            That is the team a pathetic senseless liar like you claimed had not gelled properly…..LMAOooo. May it never be well with you…!!

            Despite your daddy spending 4 solid weeks with that squad, 4 solid weeks in camp, he couldnt lead them to beat a Ghanaian team whose coach was only getting to lead them after 5 days together.

            The same Rohr took this team (that an idiot like you is claiming had not gelled) without 9 first teamers to Praira and inflicted Capeverde’s first home defeat in 4 years (since losing at home to Senegal in 2017) on them right there at their slaughter slab. That Cape Verde team was only knocked out of AFCON R16 after 2 red cards vs Senegal (the eventual winners). But your fellow dullard cerezo needed 1 whole year to gel that team to beat a Ghanaian team that finished bottom of its AFCON group.

            No wonder you are such a pathetic fool that nobody takes seriously on this forum……LMAOoooo

            Shame indeed has no need to be ashamed.

            I always known you were senseless, I just didnt know you were also daft.

            4 weeks in camp and 4 matches at AFCON with 95% of the same players that had been playing together for 2 years was not enough to gel together to face the worst Ghanaian team in 40 years that produced the worst AFCON performance in 50 years just within the space of 2 months afterwards……LMAOooo.

            Useless born by mistake. You should have written to FIFA to keep the WC on hold till 2023 so that your failure of a father would spend 1 year to get the team together to be ready to face the worst Ghanaian team in 40 years……LAMOooo

          • Dr. Drey 1 year ago

            Useless fool. Addo is succeeding because he is competent, unlike your dullard father cerezo who needs 1 year to gel a team that has been together for 2 years.

            Addo took over the same team that finished last in its AFCON group where the top 3 qualified for the next round and within just 5 days of training he booted out your cerezo from his job…..LMAoooo

            You fool, Addo still depends on experienced war horses like CAPTAIN Dede Ayew who has been in the national team since 2008 and now plays club football in Qatar. He is not a useless tribal and religious bigot like you who wants CAPTAIN Ahmed Musa to be kicked out of the SE be will never say anything about a certain KENNETH OMERUO who keeps getting invtited to sit on the bench and wait for four other Centre Backs to be injured before he can smell a starters shirt in the SE.

            Addo still relies on the likes of Mubaraq Wakasso and Jonathan Mensah who were in the 2010 WC team than reached the Qfinals, not forgetting Jordan Ayew who happens to be another old soldier in the team because he knows the place of experience.

            Addo didnt need 1 year to gel the Ghanaian team before coming to boot you out of the world cup.

            Addo is simply succeeding because he is not a dullard and bigot like you. Addo was born decent and raised decent….not born in a jungle and raised as a barking dog like you

            You pathetic fool, Inaki Williams and the rest are only comitting to ghana now that ghana will be playing at the world cup. Thanks you your stupidity and senselessness, Nigeria will not get an opportunity to convince quality players to play for us because after listening to riff raffs like you, our clueless minister ordered the sack of the man that was qualifying us for everything in sight with games and points to spare.

            Useless bastard…you wanted Musa, Igahlo, Shehu and all other old players out of the team, your dullard of a father listened to a fool like you and kept them out of the team bot at AFCON and in crucial win-takes-all battle against an arch enemy like Ghana and fielded your young inexperienced bombers, and the bombed us out of the world cup…….LMAOoooo….doing useless dribbles (a la Dennis) and bicycle kicks (a la osimhen) all over the place.

            That is what Nigeria as a country gets from listening to liars, barking dogs and born-fools like you.

    Look at the jobless baboon still crying over spilled milk. I thought your so called win qualifiers with games to spare would have gotten you a job by now. Obviously everyone now sees that you are clueless. Oga please go and sit at your reception desk of your hotel and leave the super eagles alone. if the opportunities given to you was extended to some of our local coaches, you think they would perform. Until they stop this fire brigade approach to matters then we will get our acts together.

  • Supatemmy 1 year ago

    I expect a lots of fight under this post and I wasn’t disappointed, see Rohr is like that burna boy ex gf steflon, he need to keep away the name of super eagles in his mouth and move on, no one knows him till he coached super eagles, now we didn’t qualify not because of him, it’s because of one or two mistakes, now it’s over, he should move on, we all have moved on as a nation. Enough of this unwanted nagging.

    • Dr. Drey 1 year ago

      Hahahaha….one or two mistakes like hiring Ugo Ewu-nze’s dullard father to succeed Rohr and not giving him 1 year to gel the same team that had been prosecuting qualifiers together successfully for 2 years running.

  • Moses Inyang 1 year ago

    Please let’s learn.In all truth,Rhor sack is the reason why we are not in Qatar and it came from a conspiracy by
    people who always claim they know more than others

  • Omo9ja 1 year ago

    Oga Rohr and Amaju Pinnick should be blamed for Nigeria’s world cup qualifiers exist against Ghana.

    Mr. Gernot Rohr would have gone after the world cup in Russia but Amaju insisted that Oga Rohr had to continue and in the end, Oga Rohr struggled to beat small teams in Africa.

    To make things worse, Super Eagles were disgraced in front of their home fans in Lagos.

    Even, majority of Oga Rohr fans were in support of Oga Rohr sack. So, why now that some people still believe that if Oga Rohr was in charge of Super Eagles against Ghana, Nigeria will made it to the world cup with ease?

    If Oga Rohr is that good, why he hasn’t get a job yet?

    We all enjoyed what we saw during the Afcon in Cameroon with Mr. Eguavoen but unfortunately, Iwobi should be blamed for unwanted tackle that led to his red card.

    Although, Dessers would have rescue Nigeria against Tunisia but due to the coaches corruption, they Ignored Dessers and Sodiq fumbled and Nigeria got nocked out of tournament.

    So, blame nobody but Oga Rohr, Amaju Pinnick, and Mr. Eguavoen for not making it to Qatar. Am I communicating? If so, ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!

  • I don’t hear Carlos Queroz bad mouth Egypt for their world cup failure. Even Mancini and Italy have gone beyond that disappointment.
    Rohr should move on.

    I didn’t know 98% of the dozens of comments here were “hate speech”.

    This world cup will come and go. Make we no dey interview our “past” again.

    Even God cannot change the past. Moving forward, this world cup miss is more painful to the players than us. Make we chill. Another one no far again.

    What we should be concerned about is whether with the supremo at CAF, we would be able to qualify even if Africa have 9 slots.

    Our age grade football is becoming nothing to write home about. Can we birth forth the next set of stars who can fly our flag then?

    Add 4 years to the “age” of our current trusted lieutenants, How many will still be relevant in 2026?

    • onwajunior 1 year ago

      Carlos Queiroz took Egypt to Afcon and World cup playoffs and failed i.e., he failed to meet his targets. Same with Mancini. With Rohr it was different he qualified for both events, but was forced out by those who thought they were smarter…those who had already started counting and imagining how they’d spend $$$$ prematurely.

  • Sean 1 year ago

    In summary, No World Cup for Nigeria.
    Rohr’s treatment was really bad but Now, we have Paseiro.
    Message to Rohr, Collect and Enjoy all your out-standings no be you tell them make dem dey foolish.
    I’ll advise make all of una just select one team for World cup to support..
