England has reportedly reached out to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), in a bid to arrange a friendly match with the Super Eagles, ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

Both countries have already secured their spots at next year’s tournament in Russia and are now drawing up their preparations.

reports that the English FA contacted their Nigerian counterparts, shortly after the Super Eagles sealed progress to the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Zambia earlier this month.

The game has been slated for next year, but will only hold if both teams are not in the same group, when the draws for the 2018 World Cup made December 1.

“We have received a mail from the FA asking for the friendly with the Eagles but it will only be confirmed after the draws, if we are in the same group we cannot play against each other,” an NFF source said.

For the love of Christ, can we make this happen?

I'd love us to play England cause if the following reasons:

1) England is a clueless and over rated team. Super eagles walloping their asṣ will boost our FIFA ranking. Yes, I'm dead certain well beat them!

2) The players who thought playing for England and not Nigeria, I mean the ones with naija blood in them would know the difference between Corn and corn flakes. Abraham, Ibe, and the likes. Beating the three lions will be a prove of how far our team has come.

3) Strong message to the world. The super Eagles may not be the best team in the world nor one of the favorites to win the cup but beating England would be a good noise and make other teams to take note of us. And trust me, the English press would talk about our team endlessly if we beat them well. Thus, the profile of some of our players, who I have always thought are good, would be boosted.

Hand is paining me abeg.....

Who has more reasons to add please?

A welcome development. We should grab this friendly with both hands. This premature test will help bring to light the players who are world cup material, and those that are, well, street soccer material. **side eyes Echiejile **

Super eagles
Please go and learn how to score free kicks and corner kicks.
Also how to defend Corner kicks and free kicks.

That's what removes us from all world cups.

U raised a good point! We need a free kick specialist in that team if we must progress at the world cup. Since Jay Jay Okocha retired, we've never had a good replacement with such skill
