MetalJigsaw:
Is the Dutch team not going to the World Cup?

korlahwarleh:
Since Italy did not qualify, is Balotelli still eligible to play for Nigeria?

We can call him up ASAP.

Joebie:
Thank you so much. I had wanted to ask how many of those players were actually born in Morocco after seeing tbaba1234 's post earlier. I was too lazy to do the research. I remember the commentator saying something to that effect in their game against CIV.

With Raja Casablanca as Africa's Champions they should have put faith in their home based players in order not to kill the development of their league. I love my sarcasm.

Modified.
Oh and let me add, the commentator said something like most of them couldn't speak Arabic.
aha!!! If it were Nigeria..

tbaba1234:
No Italy,
No Netherlands,
No Chile,
No USA
No Cameroon
No Ivory Coast
No Algeria

Napoleon55:
with Nigeria,Ebuehi have nothing to lose,even if he were to break into Holland team,they would b no world cup for him,at least,he will go to world cup with us.

tbaba1234:


Yes.. But it is also on @NGSuperEagles twitter page

Napoleon55:
there is nothing for France at this world cup,Mbape and Dembele cannot take them any where,they don't have what it takes yet for the world cup,simply put,they are not yet mature.

Mujtahida:

Bryan Idowu sabi sing ooo. The fraternal spirit in this team is thick. They are a family. I watched them sing happy birthday song with gusto to a member of the house committee on Sports. Rohr gave her a lovely bouquet of flowers.

I guess anyone that misses out on invitation for any match will miss playing for Nigeria and perhaps miss the warmth and fun in camp.

tbaba1234:
Reports from ANS and OGN suggest that Rohr might experiment with 3 at the back in a 3-4-2-1 formation.. Shehu and Aina are tipped to play as wing backs.

..............Akpeyi

Awaziem Balogun Ekong

Shehu Ogu Ndidi Aina

.........Mikel Iwobi

.............Kelechi

We are the ones bothering ourselves with assigning tags to these guys. #homegrown #Foreignbred #Foreignborn #Oyinbo.

They are all Nigerians and if they are the best players we have, let's have an exclusive Starting Eleven made up of them.

But trust my people to be all sentimental and emotional.

tbaba1234:


It looks like there is great spirit in the camp... Long may it continue...

Mujtahida:

I felt like being with them. There was too much fun and joy. Ogu and Nwakaeme were having fun in their room. Come see dance

EmmGee:

i will really really want to see this line up.

Mikel and iwobi as amfs. Damnnnnn. Soo much creativity. And i think this will be perfect for nacho as he would have alot of chances. This is where he would prove himself

No width in this team. If we play this personnel and formation, I don't see us having a shot on target.

Mujtahida:

They know the dance very well but I'm not sure they danced the dance very well. While they were in their prime we didn't win Afcon, we didn't go beyond second round. That's how far their dance took us. Let's see this new guys dance. But if Rohr wants the old gaurd, I wish him and them the best.

Mickael2:



I am quite sure that Martins and Uche are among our top5 scorers and their scoring ratios are way better than Ighalo's. These are proven guys, say what you want but it won't change the fact that Uche was the highest goalscorer during our qualifying campaign in 2010 neither will it change the fact that Martins is our 3rd highest scorer with a better ratio than Yakubu who is the second I believe.

goldfish80:
I see alot of comments giving Morocco the thumbs up for qualifying with with the Dutch, Belgian and French D team. Why use Morocco as example?
Why not use Egypt who played up to the AFCON finals and qualified for the World Cup in grand style with a team of home grown players.

Algeria went all foreign and qualified for the World Cup in 2014 and even.made the last 16, what have become of the Algerian team of foreigners 4 years on?
They can't even beat (no disrespect) Zimbabwe, nearly lost 6 world cup qualifying games in a stretch. They will be forced to do what they failed to do 4years ago.
This one don pass replacing coaches at will. They need a full system reset!

Inviting foreign born is not wrong, but basing the foundation of your national team on players like this is all shades of wrong and not a sustainable development in the long run.
If you like argue blindly, but I've made my position very clear on this matter that even a 10year old will understand.

forgiveness:


Which match was more important btw Zambia and Algeria? Why did he give Aina chance but refused to give Ebuehi 5 minutes in an inconsequential match?

I think Rohr doesn't trust him.
