So some local match observers here honestly think they would do a better job than rohr.

" some of us here even better pass rohr" looool ;Dintact this is unquantifiable stupidity

I may be wrong though afterall this is a faceless forum you may be guardiola or zidane. I apologize in that case.

MetalJigsaw:
Its a pity. We should have gone past the level of struggling to keep the ball on the ground and string decent passes.

Morning Session: Eagles Play Practice Game Lasting 50 Minutes; Ighalo Nets Brace, Iwobi & Iheanacho Strike
Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm that the Super Eagles Saturday morning training session was held behind closed doors at their training camp in Avita Resort, Bad Tatzmannsdorf.

The Nigeria Football Federation want the players and officials to be fully focused before their trip to Russia for the World Cup and did not allow fans to watch or the media to cover the session.

The players started this morning's training session, which began at 1000 hours, with the usual warm-up exercises before they rounded up the session by having a practice game between the Team A and Team B which lasted twenty-five minutes each half.

The training game ended 3-1, with Alex Iwobi and Odion Ighalo (2 goals) writing their names on the score-sheet for Team A and Iheanacho pulling a goal back for the Team B.

Two days before their trip to their base camp in Yessentuki, the Super Eagles will train again this evening, starting from 1700 hours.

Meanwhile, allnigeriasoccer.com can independently confirm that there is no rift between captain John Obi Mikel and his assistant Eddy Onazi, amid speculations in the media that they fell out following Nigeria's 2-1 loss to England last weekend.

Ola Aina's World Cup Snub : Man City Trio Show Solidarity,Vow To Turn Down Nigeria If Approached

Ola Aina's World Cup Snub : Man City Trio Show Solidarity,Vow To Turn Down Nigeria If Approached
Versatile Chelsea fullback Ola Aina might have taken his omission from Nigeria's World Cup roster in the right way when he publicly wished the Super Eagles all the best at the 2018 World Cup.

However, there are repercussions over that move made by manager Gernot Rohr, with foreign-born talents of Nigerian descent based in England vowing to turn down the opportunity of playing for the Super Eagles if approached by the Nigerian Federation.

This website can exclusively report that the very talented Manchester City trio Tom Dele-Bashiru, Lukas Nmecha and Tosin Adarabioyo, who have all debuted for City's first team, are no longer interested in playing for Nigeria.

''Dele-Bashiru, Lukas Nmecha and Adarabioyo are the hottest young players in England at the moment,'' a top source close to the three players told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''They are unhappy over the way Ola Aina was treated by Gernot Rohr and the Nigerian Federation, and they don't want to play for Nigeria again as they could face the same fate.

''Apart from his debut against Argentina, Brian Idowu has not impressed in all the games he has played for the Super Eagles and Echiejile was not playing for his second division club in Belgium, Aina should have made the 23-man squad.''

Aina became cap-tied for Nigeria when he replaced Elderson Echiejile in the closing minutes of the Super Eagles 1-0 win over Zambia in Uyo last October.

The former England U19 skipper has made four appearances for the Super Eagles.

He was early capped by Austria just like Manuel Akanji of Switzerland.

I think there is need for NFF to broaden their knowledge about FB from age of 15 cos Tosin Kehinde is another talent that Nigeria must not missed.

ChrisKels:
Aina's snub already yeilding bad fruit as Anglo Nigerian trio vow to turn down Nigeria if approached and their fear is that they might be treated like their colleague Aina.

Tom Dele Bashiru who once opted to rep Nigeria, lukas Nmecha, Tosin Adarabioyo and others are the ones listed for now who have vowed to turn down the NFF due to how poorly Aina was treated.

Etebor is left footed or maybe he is just so danm good with both feet

Chrismario:



No one treated him(Aina) badly. Those guys listed above are looking for cheap excuses.

Oasis007:


NFF ain't interested in him Sir. Benedict contacted NFF to cap him but his Advice was snubbed.

The young Lad has no other Choice but to represent Austria since Nigeria ain't interested in him.

Kog45:
I thought he didn't contact NFF directly but a third party who told him pointblank that U 17 is for homegrown.

Messi Ignores Ronaldo, Super Eagles Stars In List Of Players To Shine In Russia


Argentine captain, Lionel Messi has picked eight players he thinks will shine at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia – but left out archrival Portugal captain and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo as well as all the players from the other Group D opppnents from his list.

The three time African Champions who qualified for a sixth FIFA World Cup have in their ranks Mikel Obi of Tianjin TEDA, Alex Iwobi of Arsenal, Victor Moses of Chelsea and Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester but none was mentioned by the five time Ballon d’ Or winner.

Got something to say? The let your voice be heard! Back Pass *Sport related topics only*
“Brazil have Neymar and Philippe [Coutinho],” Messi was quoted in Manchester City Evening News.


“Spain have Andres Iniesta and [David] Silva. Germany don’t have any one star but they are very solid.”

“Belgium have [Eden] Hazard and [Kevin] De Bruyne. France have [Antoine] Griezmann and [Kylian] Mbappe.

“The tournament is full of very good players.”

Messi will be hoping to lead his side to a third World Cup glory in Russia having lost out in the finals in the 2014 edition in Brazil.

Argentina will kick off their campaign against Iceland before battling Croatia and Nigeria in group D.

This points to the fact that it was not the case of not playing to instructions but something to do with his negative football administration.
