lol opari master where did you draw up this incomplete list of yours from? wait let me draw up mine then we can see how ''better'' the 2014 squad was

enyeama>>>>uzoho

ejide>akpeyi/ajiboye

agbim<<<<ezenwa

oshaniwa>idowu (time will tell)

ambrose=shehu

oboabona<balogun

yobo (of 2014)<ekong

omeruo 2014>omeruo 2018

egweike=awaziem (time will judge)

odunlami<<<<<<<<<<ebuehi

onazi 2014>=?onazi 2018

mikel 2014<<<mikel 2018

r.gabriel<<<(lol you actually want to compare them) ndidi

r.azeez<etebo

uchebo<<<<<<<<<ogu

v.moses 2014<<v.moses 2018

osaze>m.simon

emenike>ighalo

musa 2014>=?musa 2018

m.babatunde<iwobi

s.ameobi<<<<iheanacho

uzoenyi<aina

u.nwofor<j.obi

from the comparisons you can see at least 13 better options in rohr's squad. it's only the goalkeeping department that has an obvious lack of quality

Icon79:
The level of talent in the current team? Oh please, this team is not even as talented as the mediocre 2014 team. As a matter of fact, let me reproduce my comparative analysis of the two teams .... for your reading pleasure

Goalkeepers:
Vincent Enyeama is better than anybody we have right now. I am quite sure you can't argue that fact. (Advantage Keshi)

CBs:
Oboabona of 2014 is probably better than Balogun (But let's call these two a wash)
Omeruo of 2014 is probably better than Ekong (Let's call it a wash)

RBs:
I will rate Efe Ambrose of 2014 over Shehu Abdullahi any day (Adv. Keshi)

LBs:
Oshinawa is better than Echiejile (Adv. Keshi)

DMs/CMs:
John Obi Mikel is better than Wilfred Ndidi (Adv. Keshi)
Onazi of 2014 is better than Onazi of 2018 (Adv. Keshi)

AMs/Strikers:
VicMo of 2018 is better than VicMo of 2014 (advantage Rohr)
Ahmed Musa of 2014 is better than Moses Simon (Adv. Keshi)
Emmanuel Emenike is better than Jude Ighalo (Adv. Keshi)
Osaze Odemwingie is better than Kelechi Iheanacho (Adv. Keshi)

You don see am? The progress we're making with the current team is that we now have a team structure/shape. I mean, we now play under a system unlike during the time of Keshi. In fact, if you were to handover the current team to Keshi (RIP), we wouldn't have qualified in the first place.

If you like speak Anambra Igbo, Oyo yoruba or Maguzawa Hausa, you are a Ghanaian. That's your designation, Pasta Kwame.

For the Africa invited economy stuff like that... Nigeria refuse to be part of it...

Even though I have little reservation for it... Though...

Ghana get sense. They wriggles and disconnected almost all asslicking connections with the white man and believed so much in themselves. It's why their presido is so bold to attack any foreign president now.


When we stop asslicking, I think we would need not fear any diplomatic repercussions.

With our current pace. We for Don old before that one happen. Only a miracle.

Ndidi on this one

Wow! Ndidi is a very vital player for the world cup. I hope he gets well soon. Even if em break leg, e most go wc.

I seek a revenge against France.

I hardly comment here I only read comments.
But anyone who says this guys is not a tribalistic is fucking shallow.. Becoz its so obvious.

I have been reading comments here, others are analysis football while he is buzy fighting with arguments and defending his Yoruba brothers
In every comment..
I'm not scared to say it U ARE A FUCKING TRIBALIST.. just click on ur profile and check ur comments and see it all lies on supporting ur brothers... U are spoiling this thread.

Is Joel Obi his brother? When he was calling for his inclusion in the team, why didn't you call him a tribalist?
Is Ebuehi his brother?
Is Josh Onomah his brother?
Is Fred Oyedinma his brother?
Is Mikel Agu his brother??
When he was saying Vic Moses can be as good as Salah under a coach like Klopp, why didn't you call him a tribalist??
If you haven't been here long enough, don't say something you're not certain of. It's talk like this that actually spoils the thread.

forgiveness:


I now get you. You are referring to the current blackman race.

The blackman race consciouness suffered due to the artificial impulses around their environment.

The truth is the colonial masters wipped away every great civilization that have to do with the blacks and created a kind of false history and image that blacks were uncultured, uncivilized, savaged etc race which they have inculcated into their subconsciouness unknownly.

The formation of Africa countries by the Europeans have been tailored and designed to fail blackman race in accondance with their milking agent.

But if they begin to know their history of greatness, it could help to reform their consciouness.

Exactly. We need to be recreated to see ourselves in a new light.

Joebie:
Consistency in national colors nko?. If Nwakalu’s Atlético performance was a fluke, he would eventually be dropped just like Rabiu Ibrahim and many others.

But like I said before, you need to make that consistent performance count when given the opportunity in national colors.

How can you get into the national team without having consistent performance in the club?

soetanoreoluwa:


I tire o... Rohr no dey complain, NFF is not raising eyeBrow nah fans they shout...

The coach knows what he want... Some people no just like Vic Moses.

Whether they like it or not he is a first eleven player.

Yes some don't like him but some do. I have defended him here but then a certain perception is building around him and frankly speaking Moses has a non challant attitude. We just want him to be 'challant'(warning:use this word in public to your own peril)

Pictures of the goal moments in yesterday's training..

Simy scored against Ezenwa and Kelechi against Ajiboye

Simy's goal, Got the ball, controlled it and lobbed it over on-rushing Ezenwa

I heard Ezenwa is poor with one on one play. Showing it in training again. Ajiboyr is better at that thanks to his stint with Plateau united.

Simy Nwankwo lights up Nigeria's World Cup camp


Not many who came to watch the Super Eagles' first full pre-World Cup camp training session at the practice pitch of the Goodwill Akpabio Stadium, could have told Simy Nwankwo from Adam before the session started.
This includes the assembled posse of journalists who had defied the burning topical sun to turn up to observe.
By the end of the session, however, everyone present knew who the Crotone forward was, and this wasn't just because of his towering beanpole frame.

All it took was one moment of goalscoring magic, but there were many others before and after.
After an hour of exercises, limbering up and ball work, Gernot Rohr broke his team into two sides to play against each other.

Simy led one line, and it was not too long before he left everyone open-mouthed with his skill.
First he beat the offside trap, admittedly a marginal call, but then out-sprinted his marker with long, rangy steps before moving one on one with goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
Without breaking stride, he dropped a shoulder, watched Uzoho take the bait and sprawl helplessly on the turf, before chipping a majestic ball over the young goalkeeper.

First, a collective gasp, then applause went around the watchers on the sidelines. One security detail nearly dropped his rifle.
It was a moment of genius, and the kind of goal that can seal a World Cup berth for an outsider.
This isn't to say that Simy has already secured his spot in Russia, but goals like that, and the consistently high overall technical ability he showed on Thursday, could well lead to a surprise selection.

The player himself would not be drawn into losing his head in the clouds
"I am just here to be part of the family," he told KweséESPN afterwards. "It's not about what I can add to the team.
"It's about becoming part of a big family that has been doing great things and adapting to the system. Inside the team there are a lot of quality players that have been doing well, so it's just about becoming one of them."
If he keeps up this level of performance, Simy should slide seamlessly into the Super Eagles side.

Oga stop being a devil's advocate. Don't try to cover up what we know already.

Tell me how far he goes in defending those players you listed above. The intensity is always different when he defends his Yoruba brothers.

Just a mere mention that Aina's father will influence Aina's selection and he comes up with talks that Iwobi and Ebuehi's fathers are in camp too. What do you call that?

That guy is drunk in tribalism.

Mujtahida:

Exactly. We need to be recreated to see ourselves in a new light.

But the tools used by this master-minders are the politicians.

I got to know about it when I listened to the confession of a French man that stated France involvement in all the French colonies. He even went further to reveal how the French government secretly trained and armed Biafran soldiers which the French government denied as at then even ttill date.

When asked the reason behind their interest, he plainly said 'OIL' and categorically stated that they were not after the well being or separation of Biafra.

So, how do we recreat ourselves in a new light without the tools?

i doubt he is Ghanaian sha. But let's all ignore then unless they go too far or we want to vent stored up anger onto them.

Unlimited22:
We support our own, but not to the extent of deliberately pulling the wool over our own eyes in the name of patriotism. Hardwerk may be toeing extreme lines by calling the team poo, but it is an inescapable fact that the team is bang average.

costa rica was bang average yet topped a group that had uruguay, england, italy in 2014. we are not fooling ourselves that we are not underdogs but logically we have seen with team work and good coaching we could probably get out of the group. argentina are favourites but they are very vulnerable, croatia have world class players but couldn't top their world cup qualifying group that had turkey finland iceland and ukraine so is it really a stretch believing we can beat them?

you are entitled to believe we don't stand a chance in hell but why begrudge someone from believing the opposite?

The South African and Ghanaian dancing steps usually look planned and rehearsed.

It's the goal dance by Gyang that I like the most. No problem with planning or rehearsing. It's just that I like it when it's spontaneous. These things are part of the drama, the side shows that spice up the WC.

Probably an IPOB guy. You know how they think everyone else in Nigeria are animals and in a "zoo".

Doesn't matter whether he's Nigerian now. In context he's a Ghanaian. His thinking makes him so. I will ignore jare.

SMH. Tell them to sell to private investors - No
Run the team properly - NO
But we should beg you to do your job. When the players go and shave 10 years off their age and play for the U17, the fool will claim he is a "product" of his team. This is pathetic...

Abeg, leave those guys with their shallow minds.

They sieve out a particular player and ask why do you defend this one. I be mumu?

It’s been happening na. Which kind question be that. Like Komekn rightly pointed out, we give preference to those who came from our U17 team. But let me modify that. We give preference to the best from that crop.

It's the word. Consciousness can always be created and recreated. Some days ago I actually said I don't know how we are going to bounce back but I said that cos of my realisation of the overwhelming and almost impossible nature of the work to be done.

We can create a new consciousness by creating the mentality of a great and noble people. Movies, songs, great art work, leadership that is inspired and inspires can create this cultural revolution.
