optional1, cruzita, klexycole, Willydilly, VickyRotex, blueto, TheSuperNerd, mikron, safarigirl, Smellymouth, Mediapace, refiner,

Modify you post Bro Kayode is not available but Onyekuru

Imagine Corsica, a region that is not even affiliated to fifa. Dead rubber match

I would rather they come and play against my street best 11 instead of an island that is not even affiliated with FIFA or EUFA. What is the purpose of this friendly?

Why not organise a friendly between the nigeria league defending champions and the eagles. At least that will promote our local league. If NFF can´t even support our league, how do they expect the fans to watch the games? Corsica.... what rubbish..

well. we suppose win this naw. walk in the park

Nigerians are perennial complainers. The goat is concerned about his owner's health. If the owner dies a funeral would be held, if he recovers a thanksgiving would be celebrated. Either way the goat ends up in the pot.

What rubbish is this?

Corsica?

Those guys at the NFF are jokers.

Corsica?? More like Super Eagles playing Ogbomosho united. They do not have an official national team. Gone are the days we played Germany, Brazil, etc.

WHY ARE WE ALWAYS DOWNGRADING OURSELF. PLAYING A NATION OR TOWN THAT ARE NOT UP TO 280000 PEOPLE. WHILE COUNTRY LIKE SOUTH AFRICAN PLAYING FIRST CLASS FOOTBALL NATION. HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET A GOOD RATING FROM THIS MATCH?

iamoyindamola:
pls which country is corcisa again

FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW

Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the 13 regions of France. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula, southeast of the French mainland, and north of the Italian island of Sardinia. A single chain of mountains make up two-thirds of the island.

While being part of France, Corsica is also designated as a territorial collectivity (collectivité territoriale) by law. As a territorial collectivity, Corsica enjoys a greater degree of autonomy than other French regions; for example, the Corsican Assembly is able to exercise limited executive powers.

The island formed a single department until it was split in 1975 into two departments: Haute-Corse (Upper Corsica) and Corse-du-Sud (Southern Corsica), with its regional capital in Ajaccio, the prefecture city of Corse-du-Sud. Bastia, the prefecture city of Haute-Corse, is the second-largest settlement in Corsica.

After being ruled by the Republic of Genoa since 1284, Corsica was briefly an independent Corsican Republic from 1755 until it was conquered by France in 1769. Due to Corsica's historical ties with the Italian peninsula, the island retains to this day many elements of the culture of Italy. The native Corsican language, whose northern variant is closely related to the Italian language, is recognised as a regional language by the French government. This Mediterranean island was ruled by various nations over the course of history but had several brief periods of independence.

Napoleon was born in 1769 in the Corsican capital of Ajaccio. His ancestral home, Maison Bonaparte, is today used as a museum.

Lol imagine bonny island, badagry or lagos state playing against USA, England or Germany

6 Memorable Super Eagles Matches In France


The Super Eagles will on Friday and June 1 play friendlies against a Corsica XI and the Togo national team in Paris, France in Nigeria’s build-up to the June 10 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa in Uyo.

Completesportsnigeria.com’s IZUCHUKWU OKOSI recalls the previous six matches the Nigerian national team have played in France and how they fared in them…





1. Spain vs Nigeria (June 13, 1998)

The Super Eagles played their first World Cup of France 98 on July 13, 1998 against Spain at the La Beaujoire Stadium in Nantes. The Group D match ended 3-2 in Nigeria’s favour.

Fernando Hierro put the Spaniards ahead in the 21st minute but Nigeria equalised just three minutes later through ‘headmaster’ Mutiu Adepoju.

The Eagles two minutes into the second half went behind again, when legendary Spanish striker Raul Gonzalez scored to make it 2-1.

Spanish goalkeeper Andoni Zubizaretta inadvertently palmed the ball into his net with 17 minutes left on the clock after Garba Lawal’s low shot at the near post put him under pressure. The keeper’s howler restored parity for Nigeria and it became 2-2.

Midfielder Sunday Oliseh scored arguably one of the best goals of the FIFA World Cup with a screamer in the 78th minute which won the game for Nigeria.





2. Nigeria vs Bulgaria (June 19, 1998)

Nigeria’s next Group D match of France 98 World Cup was on June 19 against Bulgaria which the west Africans won 1-0 thanks to a 28th minute goal by Victor Ikpeba.


The ‘Prince of Monaco’ scored in the 28th minute against the Europeans who Nigeria defeated four years earlier at USA ’94.

It was a feisty encounter that saw four Super Eagles stars Austin Okocha, Uche Okechukwu, Mutiu Adepoju and Victor Ikpeba getting booked while Ilian Iliev and Radostin Kishishev got on Chilean referee Sanchez Yanten Mario’s books with yellows too.





3. Nigeria vs Paraguay (June 24, 1998)

Nigeria played their third match of the France 98 World Cup against South Americans Paraguay.The Super Eagles lost 3-1 at the Stade Municipal in Toulouse.

Former youth international and captain of Japan ’93 FIFA U-17 World Cup-winning side, Wilson Oruma, restored parity for Nigeria in the 11th minute after Celso Ayala had scored a first minute opener.

Miguel Benitez and Jose Cardozo then put the contest beyond Nigeria with two second half strikes in the 58th and 86th minutes of the game.

Despite the defeat Nigeria still qualified for the Round of 16 of the World Cup finishing Group D with six points, with a goal difference of 0 having scored five goals and conceded five. They were joined in the knock out stages by Paraguay.

European heavyweights Spain were eliminated alongside Bulgaria.





4. Nigeria vs Denmark (June 28, 1998)

It was Nigeria versus Denmark in the Round of 16 of the 1998 World Cup. The Danes were runners-up in Group C behind France with five points in the table.

The Super Eagles went two goals down in the first half, Peter Koller and Brian Laudrup getting their team ahead in the third and 12th minutes of the match.

Ebbe Sand came off the bench and scored a brilliant goal to extend the score to 3-0.

Thomas Helveg put the game beyond Nigeria with fourteen minutes left. Tijani Babangida got one for Nigeria a minute later but it proved too little for coach Bora Milutinovic and his Nigerian players.

The World Cup in France was over for Nigeria with only the individual brilliance of Austin ‘Jay jay’ Okocha being arguably the highlights of the Eagles’ participation.





5. Nigeria vs France (June 2, 1999)

Nigeria played an international friendly against France in Saint Etienne in June 2, 2009.

The Eagles won 1-0 thanks to a Joseph Akpala goal in the 32nd minute. The Eagles were coached by late Amodu Shuaibu.

Nigeria’s starting eleven in the friendly against the French included Vincent Enyeama, the now late Olub.ayo Adefemi , Dele Adeleye, Elderson Echiejile and Sam Sodje. Seyi Olofinjana, Kalu Uche, Joseph Akpala, Nwankwo Kanu, Osaze Odemwingie and Ikechukwu Uche also started. The quintet of Yusuf Ayila, Obinna Nwaneri, Dickson Etuhu, Obinna Nsofor and Michael Eneramo were the substitutes that played.


Former world champions France missed the presence of an injured Thierry Henry but still paraded a strong side nonetheless that included Patrick Viera, Franck Ribery, Karim Benzema, Nicolas Anelka and co.







6. Nigeria vs Mali (May 27, 2016)

An emerging Super Eagles side defeated Mali 1-0 in an international friendly on May 27, 2016 at Stade Robert Diochon in Rouen, France.

Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho scored in the 77th minute after coming on from the bench in place of Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi.

Many first team regulars were missing for the Nigerians who four days later travelled to Luxembourg for another friendly which they won 3-1.

No 5 is 2009 I think

Waiting for Nigeria Vs Biafra Football Match. infact ehn, ball boy go position inside Nigeria goal for faster evacuation f the balls

Henry Onyekuru has been called up to replace Kayode

by the way why did you choose Alampasu in goal?
do you think he is ripe enough for the Eagles

is it till he's 30 before he's ripe enough?
How old was Cameroun's goalkeeper in last Nation's Cup
This is a friendly and its meant test and discover who's ready for the next level.

Mopolchi:
Na country or club be this? Our mate dey play Germany, Brazil, na dis kain people we dey play.

In Ibu's voice 'You be wins
h How you take know my mind

safarigirl:
My prefered XI:

Alampasu; Awaziem Troost-Ekong Balogun Ebuehi; Ndidi Ogu Etebo; Success Iheanacho Onyekuru

@robosky, are you sure that list is correct?

Kayode won't be available, he'll be on club duty, same as Iwobi and Aina(FA Cup). Kayode's club will be involved in a play-off, so he was replaced by Onyekuru

Olanna?
I admire girls who know football
Kudos

And the next friendlies would be against Catalonia, then Monaco then Vatican city.
