The date is to close to our last qualifying match, which is scheduled for Nov 16. 19th would be a better date.
All the same, it's good that the NFF were able to secure a friendly with such a high profile team.

It is good to play a friendly match why not have one before the Nov 16 qualifier, or make sure they qualify first before thinking of friendly except if it doesnt matter if they qualify or not, or do they think they already qualify, see me see people oooh, it is not over yet until the final whistle against Ethiopia in 2nd leg

My thoughts exactly...I dont think that date is good for the team and i hope it doesnt get cancelled.
How do you play italy in london just 2 days after ethiopias match?.
They play ethiopia on the 16th..then rush back to london on the 17th and play italy on the 18th..
I hope they know what they are doing and i hope they have or would,ve sorted immigration issues for the likes of Oboabona,musa and those not playing in the Uk.

They cannot play one before NoV 16 and it's normal for teams to fix friendly matches that will take place after an important match. Moreover, there is no way Ethiopia can win us by 2 unreplied goals in Calabar. Even the devil knows that we are in Brazil already.

Super Eagles to confront Italy in London two days after second leg against Ethiopia


The Nigeria Football Federation and the Italian FA have agreed on a friendly match between both countries to take place in London

With the 2014 World Cup almost guaranteed, the Nigeria Football Federation has agreed for the Super Eagles to play the Azzuri of Italy in London on November 18.

The African champions will take on Ethiopia in the second leg of the African World Cup qualifier in Calabar on November 16 and will fly straight to London for the Monday confrontation with the Italians.

Italy will play Germany take at San Siro in Milan on November 15 as the FIGC confirmed the dates for the international friendlies that will take place during the World Cup play-offs.

Both teams first and only meeting to date was at the 1994 World Cup in USA with the Italians handing a 2-1 defeat to the Super Eagles in the second round after leading for close to 88 minutes

after they play on the 16th, they wont rest instead they will
immediately pack their luggages and fly over to london and still they
wont rest for upto 48hours and play italy.. hmmmm. i just hope they
realise their mistake and postpone this match to 20 or thereabout.

We've been yearning for a top-friendly, nau we've got it. Super eagles are too good not to win this. #optimistic

My thoughts. . .
Nice game, bad timing!. . We play Ethiopia after that they are rushed to England, Italy will rest 3days to their game, we will have just a day to do so. . .
In as much As I believe that we can contain the Azurris, i dont want fatigue to be an issue and it may have a backleash on our rankings'.matter of fact I dont want to gv those glanians an excuse 4 taming this italianos.
Nevertheless, hope the glanians will watch us play good soccer while Emenike shows Balotelli 'who ghetto pass'.
And Oboboana will show venger why he needs no trial to play for gunners!
African Champs una headt dey dia. .

No need to panic, its a friendly match remembr? not a competitive match, many players can be introduced in the game when others are tired.

We can move the Ethiopia game forward to Friday November 15th or play the Italy match on Tuesday 19th if it is a FIFA approved date. I think playing the Ethiopia match on Friday is more feasible. Many teams do it!
