This is the list official list announced by FIFA today:

Goalkeepers: Vincent Enyeama, Austine Ejide, Chigozie Agbim

Defenders: Godfrey Oboabona, Uwa Echiejile, Efe Ambrose, Azubuike Egwueke, Solomon Kwambe, Francis Benjamin, Kenneth Omeruo

Midfielders: John Ogu, John Obi Mikel, Fegor Ogude, Ogenyi Onaz, Emeka Eze, Sunday Mba

Forwards: Ahmed Musa, Brown Ideye, Joseph Akpala, Muhammad Gambo, Anthony Ujah, Michael Babatunde, Nnamdi Oduamadi

I wish our darling Super Eagles good luck.

Fun facts:

*There are a total of 8 home-based players in the squad, and 4 uncapped players.

*Mikel Obi will be making his debut in a senior FIFA international tournament (Confed cup/World Cup)

*Nigeria is on a 17 game unbeaten run in competitive matches. The last loss in a competitive game was to Guinea in October 2010, in a 2012 AFCON qualifying match.

Killer Squad!

Lilnikee: Killer Squad!

I tell you. Spain, Tahiti and Uruguay go hear am

Keshi made 9 changes to his AFCON-winning squad too.

Are you guys for real..? Where is the killer in this squard.? Xcept a miracle happens, like the way it happened in SA, I'm afraid Tahiti might even prove a tough nut to crack.

Our optimism stems from the fact that Keshi's team plays like a..team. Spain and Uruguay will find it difficult to break down the SE's defense line.

No Emenike or Victor Moses?

Afam4eva: No Emenike or Victor Moses?

They are injured. Hence, Akpala and Ujah have taken their places

My fear is d defense,who is d player who has got d experience @ an international stage to coordinate d back

Nigeria has all it takes to progress from there Group.

The strenght of this team lies in the midfield. Mikel-onazi-mba triangle,tested and trusted.

With this line up we are soooooo dead.

ichidodo: With this line up we are soooooo dead.

Nah, the players have enough quality to stand toe-to-toe against any opposition.

Anyway, the main goal is qualifying and getting to d knockout stages of next year's world cup.
Reaching the Confed cup final, and crashing out of the group stage/not qualifying will be a bitter pill to swallow.

I don't have any confidence in our forward line. There's no good replacement for Emenike. Ideye always loses all the clear cut chances he gets in our games. I just hope they will improve.

Lilnikee: Killer Squad!

Killer what? Without Emenike and Moses? I've you forgotten these two guys performance in the last AFCON?
Eagles go hear am this time.

Thank God yobo is not there..I wish victor moses and emenike were here though.That brown ideye is a foooolll

@cfcfan


what happened to moses?

The defence of this team is so poor, none of the players has the experience at the highest level to carry the team along.
The mid-field is kind of kinky, with Mikels experience and Mba's power, they can do wonders but am warning you, they will be chassing the ball around against Spain coz good mid-fielders are different from world class ones.
The attack is kind of bullshit, no Emenike. Keshi should have called back Osaze, this is a matter of National Football, personal grudges should be left out completely.

Conclusion: This team is great but can not withstand the passing of Spain nor the ruthlessness of Uruguay so I do not see Nigeria making it out of that group.

At last Gambo has made it to super eagles. Gambo mohammed and Rabiu Ali are the pillars behind Kano pillars the Nigerian champions.

Hope Rabiu Ali will be called next time as the guy is a mid field wonder.

Its ok, xcept for Moses and Emenike dat A̶̲̥̅̊я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ missing

space reserved for comments after the first match...

Just becos Victor Moses and Emmanuel Emenike are not on the list doesn't mean we can't do well. Let's trust our players. By the way,Moses and Emenike were unsound heroes until they were given a chance by Keshi to show their worth. Let's also trust these players. I see the going place. GOD help us.

Bullish Strikers always favour Nigerians i tot Eneramo should have replaced Emenike but Coach decision is final.
Wish them all the best !

Where is Sunday Mba?

Red-Light:
@cfcfan
