ah i will bet on Nigeria not passing the first round­ and get humilliated if shahata takes over as a coach of­ nigeria cos there would be no helping hand of referees­ to gove him advantage over the opponent fact is half­ the african referees are dating ehyptian girls every­ times they have a diciding match the CAF sends a­ retiring referee who gives Egypt the advantage if you­ look at the match between the KIDS from GANA who were­ cheated from a foul leeding to echit to score the­ winning coal and the agressivity of their players with­ many fouls
my worries is the african football has­ progressed but the referees haven t hope FIFA will­ address the issue and geht neutral referee from europe­ or asia don t get me wrong there are some good­ uncorruptible referees in africa but only few of them­ get the chance to officiate a flash MATCH ask the­ cameroon team and ivory coast and others when they­ visite echit they will tell you how bad they were­ treated in echit so good luck Nigeria and all African­ teams make us proud in the wold Cup

Take a deep look at the leaders, and you will­ understand the followers. It is only God Himself can­ have mercy on Nigeria to get rid of corruptions, egos­ and all that discredit Nigerian all over the globe. A­ nation that could be to Africa what America is to the­ world, a nation with blessed resources, but evil­ corruption, We know the answer to our problems, but not­ able to do anything because of the powerful that have­ the money and power on their side. God will move on­ behalf of the silence millions that hoping for change.

My fellow African(nigerians),i always gets hurt when­ Nigeria,i see as the country to steer Africa to the­ next level of development in all fields,is challenged­ with obstacles that can be solved with their level of­ educated talents at home and abroad.You guys must sit­ up and weed out the unpatriotic citizens and be serious­ with the patriotic ones who arewilling to kill­ themselves for their country.

God bless Africa and­ Nigeria.

Just want to say that the NFA trying to hire or loan­ Eagyptian national coah is not because they are­ concerned with winning the world cup, rather its a move­ by those incharge to convert the world cup arrangements­ to a more lucrative personal enterprise than the­ African nations cup contest.
Secondly,the issue of­ home base or non-home base players, coaches and/or­ managers is inmaterial. Haven said that anyway,there is­ need to encourage our indigeenous talents, but can you­ guaranty thier behaviours when they too gets to the­ limelight, like some of those Nigerians currently­ playing abroad who have taken for granted the­ disorganised and corrupt NFA, to display unnecessary­ egos.
Finally, guys, lets not forget that NFA is only a­ tiny fragment of the entire Nigerian public system.­ What have you got to say? Just hang out here in Europe­ and continue to write this like this, not seen or hard­ by the people concern? Lets go and take some risks­ through practical contributions, and put our­ partriotism to test or forget it.

i have just placed a bet of £200 on nigeria not to pass­ the group stages in south africa at 18-1,i even went to­ the extent of supporting ghana last month,cant see us­ progressing with the group of lazy c***s we have got­ bring in the under 21s.

haaaaaa, nigeria again, the country with 150millions­ problem , stay at home ,pls dont go the worl cup to­ make up group numbers, i hope YAR ARDUA WILL COACH­ NIGERIA, GOOD LUCK ( MORONS) JONATHAN

what nigeria need as a football nation is nothing but­ home base player!! who are ready and willing to play­ better football. Not those bigheaded players!!!

That is the problem Nigerian football is facing,using­ unpatriotic players for us everytime.There are so many­ home based players that can make us proud but because­ those he goats are playing abroad,they believe they­ are the best.IK,you are exceptional,everyone knows you­ are patriotic.
Follow the steps of Benin,sack­ everybody,even the NFF.Nigerian football is now­ rubbish.

LOOK AT NFF CHAIRMAN PAST AND PRESENT ; PEOPLE WHO­ SCORED HIGHEST IN CORRUPTION, LOWEST IN MANAGEMENT AND­ ZOMBIE IN GAME OF FOOTBALL.

1.Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima ­ - how many national team players bear such names­ ''alhaji''.

2. Sani Lulu Abdulahi ­ -- Typical drop out .

THESE TWO PAST AND PRESENT­ FOOLS REPRESENT FAILURE. THEY BREATHE IN­ ''CORRUPTION'' and exhale­ ''MISMANAGEMENT.

stupid nigerian europe base player.they are all crap..

MMMMMMMMMM

I believe Nigerian problem is not a coach but meddling­ from the NFA and Co. I dont even think the coach or­ manager of the national team really have full control­ even westerhof had lots of meddling from the NFA AND­ Co.
I dont see the need to bring in an Egyptian coach­ when we have indigenous qualified coach or managers.

THE NIGERIAN TEAM NEEDS ENOUGH HOME BASED PLAYER WITH­ A HOME BASED COACH TO PLAY LIKE EGYPT AND WIN­ TROPHIES.

­ ORJI KALU.

this is just a crazy idea i must say,can you imagine­ an Egyptian coach.Don't get me wrong he could be a­ good coach am not disputing it,but the problem is that­ we have a good number of indigenous good coaches as­ well who are doing good work in most of the European­ countries, who i believe have European standard­ coaching qualifications.The main problem we still have­ in that country is bribery,we have refused to grow­ up,the question is, who will clean the­ system?Appointing an indigeneous coach may not help too­ because he will also be influenced by those croocks­ there.My dear good fellow Nigerians i bet you there is­ nothing we can to about it we can only shout but the­ voice is heard and that means that foot ball in­ Nigerian will remain as it is and that is it.

I think the proplem with nigeria football is that the­ coaches are not prepare to take risk with untested­ player like the home base or those playing for a lower­ league in abroad or they lack adequate imformation­ about the player they are inviting at this presensent­ age of technology, eg (Kanu, Yakubu,Obafemi) and­ lots of other in that squad has not played for their­ club for more than twice this season or in some case­ none at all lack( Shittu) for Bolton and This are the­ people that form the nucleus of the nigeria national­ team. whereas they are lots of energetic home base who­ want to play and give their best. they should learn­ from Ghana.

We need home Grown Coaches and Home base talented­ players, Who are highly dedicated, Motivated, in­ bringing Victory. We need good preparation, we need to­ go back to the late 80's and think what did we do­ differently, By then I was a player myself but now a­ coach in europe, Nigeria can perform considarably well­ in South Africa.

NFF is highly Corrupt institution­ that need reform, I believe in the good will of­ ordinary Nigerias.

The institution fail the people of­ Nigeria, forget Big Name players, a tree does not make­ a forest, all we need is a player who are highly­ motivated, at the end of day, it's the result that­ matters not the big name.

Mark My word, We have­ experience coaches in Europe who are Nigeria, Highly­ Qualifier for the Job, with UEFA Qualification,They­ don't like to give kickback money or promise
any­ official help for their players, For this reason No one­ want to Know about them. when they pass their­ application forward, the application will not get to­ the top.

They say is who you know,then why do we­ expect good result. Sad,sad,sad story Brothers.
Guys­ Don't give up,keep fighting for good course.

nfa get ur act 2gether, for france come over to england­ when u will get some hungry manasger like glen hoddle­ or getn a tem manager that will not cost a lot.

infact,i rely ashame of myself that a country like­ nigeria were corruption as become game,the only thing i­ know is that what our goverment is trying to do is to­ crate vaccume for stealing money by eygptian coach,what­ make me sick most is that were is our president,a­ country without leader is talking about victory in­ world cup,for get it.all our goverment from A to Z ­ are going to give account of what they have done to our­ great nation NIGERIA
Crown

screw you antony n

you are a sore loser as the rest­ just keep saying bullshit like the Egyptian arranging­ games we would have been in the world cup like France­ so stop saying rubbish there is no conspiracy here it­ is football they would bought something important

you­ make me laugh hahahahahahahahahah SORE LOSER AND AN­ IDIOT WITH HIS HEAD UP HIS @$$

Hello,

With due respect, the Egyptian coach is very­­ good but the Cameroonian one is better. Shehata is­ good­ for the African Cup Nations and not for the world­ cup.­ Maybe the NFA needs him but not Cameroon.­ Cameroon is­ happy with Paul Le Guen. He is a more­ experience coach­ than Shehata. He is one of the best­ now in African.­ Watch out for Cameroon in South­ Africa. I know they are­ going to make Africa proud.­ This is always the problem­ with us West Africans.­ Nigeria has a good coach because­ they did not win the­ nation’s cup. They have to go for­ Shehata because he­ won the nation’s cup. Good michael
