Kog45:
Thank you i think he later got the cleared picture of my view.

Sometimes we just need to roll in maturity in football analysis here.

I did not say Ekong was a bench warmer.

I don't know Omeruo but surprisedly am Ekong hater for stating my opinion.

Respect to someone like tbaba1234,thegoodjoe and Mujtahida for their coolness.

No worries Baba. Just forgive him.

AIG07:
I learnt that Liberia organized the friendly match in honor of George Weah #14 and they plan to retire his jersey number.

Got few quick questions:
1. Will FIFA allow the Liberia team to ommit a certain jersey number in a case where they qualify for a major football event like the world cup.
2. In relation to question 1 above will they increase their jersey number to 24 if granted the permission by FIFA.


This reminds me of Okwaraji's jersey number 6 that was said to be retired but was later seen worn by subsequent generations of players.

Cc:Icon4s, TheGoodJoe, Tbaba1234, Kog45, Forgiveness, Enomakos...

It's acceptable once an associate decides so.

Deji Beyreuther posted a picture of himself in a super eagles track suit.. A left back option.

The dude fine.

If Rohr invites this guy, then, we've got Safarigirl's "friendly-looking-bench" campaign on the ascension.

Pls i have a question why is it we don't normally called players who are willing to.play for us.

I remember Kenneth Otigba

Saw Akanji with eagles kit after WC

Alaba paid a visit to eagles's camp in Austria

Eze is ever ready

Deji is eager

But we are waiting for Uduokhai, Akpoguma and Torunarigha to say Yes.

Kai if safarigirl na coach na handsome guys go full our team o.

wayodude:
This is the crux of the matter.

With all due respect we played against a Seychelles team that is so poor I would expect any selected eleven from any state in Nigeria to beat AND we did not manage to create and take a single goal scoring chance from open play.

If the 3-0 scoreline clouds some judgements, let me quickly remind that all other teams in the group will also beat Seychelles home and away, most likely by higher margins than we managed.

I remember laughing at people who got excited when Keshis team beat Tahiti 6-1. I said that we didn't do enough and got chased by fans here until Spain beat them 10 - 0 in the next game and Uruguay beat them 8-0 after that lol

If deep down Rohr and his team are not a bit disappointed in the overall outcome of that game then I will be well surprised. We just have to do more.

I won't go as far as sacking him, but the jury is slowly coming out on his overall ability to take the team further.

Was gonna point the is fact out in my earlier post but for time.

Anyways, let's see how things go

BascoVanVeli:



Let me translate this been working on my Franco German

Rohr: I want Uyo

I hope the Uyo pitch will b well maintained.. considering the fact that there are no more npfl games and the politics going on in Akwa Ibom...
If Uyo isn't ready then let's move to Abuja..its been long we played there

Truidstar:


We got 3 points that's the most important for me. Just the first game after our world cup. Take a chill pill guys. Goal difference or not we will qualify. South Africa always choke at the finish line.

Bro, don't place your bet on this assumption.

You think they would want to miss out on the WC and AFCON just a year later?

I sincerely doubt

I'm eagerly anticipating his Bundesliga debut this first half of the season and he becoming a mainstay in Frankfurt's first team(eleven).

he needs to cut his hair, this his haircut is very unflattering, his head looks like a pineapple. I preferred him with his low cut

Joebie:
Politics still dey pitch matter. Rohr says give me the best for the task at hand, I don’t care where it is. If Uyo is still the best, case closed

I could walk to the stadium in Uyo but I rather watch on TV tbh. I can understand wanting to see the guys close up but winning is more important than all that. Honestly if I were a governor I wouldn't dare host the super eagles because it costs too much money.

forgiveness:


It was intimidating. It has nothing to do with black or white.

If Akwa is used to disorganized, good for them but it shall not used as world accepted norms.

It does because all EPL stadiums have fans close up to the action and nobody finds them intimidating. You are making this assumption without any recent evidence of crowd violence coming from Gambia.

The bolded is not nice and has nothing to do with what I said. When u get treated nicely by away fans in Africa trust me it is a rarity. When River United went to Sudan they were stoned at the airport. You have not told me that the Gambians were hostile, all u are saying is they were on the track.

forgiveness:

Waste of space.

hahahaha

I agree.

But when I see young guys tryna follow the latest fashion trend, I just let them be, with time them go know.

just as I'm vexing with Iwobi's.

The Aiteo Cup should be played there. I also have the same questions about the politics and I hope they take that mess to the other stadiums in the State. They have been doing a good job with maintainance so far so good. I wouldn't mind Abuja but we know the stadia will be half empty.

Abuja that cows were spoted grazing on the pitch one time

Don't know about now though.

It seems like a love relationship, those who are unwilling are more attractive

Where did EPL's fans stood and sat on track?

There's what we call culture shock. Maybe that's why Algerian fans reacted.

forgiveness:

That's my point, they don't have tracks but the fans are exactly where the tracks should be or even closer. That is why the players can even hug them while celebrating. I don't think it is right for people not to get to watch a game when there is space for them inside. Football is not played on the track so why must that space be empty?

BascoVanVeli:


What does relegation have to do with anything? We always make excuses for Europeans and bring down ourselves.
Tell that to someone who didn't watch both matches. Did u see a single player fall trying to take a shot with a patch of grass always coming out at every challenge? The pitch Barcelona played on was worst than anything we have seen this weekend.

I'm not trying to make excuses for anyone. I'm just stating the fact. A club represents a unit. A national team represents a conglomeration of different units (In this case, the nation's general image is at stake). If a football federation and their Government cannot provide a standard stadium for their competitive match then it's a big shame. Your analogy would have made more sense if you said Spanish national team played on a bad pitch. Only then will I accept that it's a general problem but telling me that Rayo Vallecano (a clubside) hosted Barcelona (another clubside) on a bad pitch is somewhat way out of line because both do not represent the general image of Spain but Seychelles national team does represent the National interest of Seychelles. So my friend, I do hope you understand this one.

You are both right. They always choke but we can't rely on that alone. If you look at their results since they beat us it is like they feel they can die now because they have not been good since then even at club level.

It is still just one stadium we are talking about. Seychelles is a small country and the only artificial pitch in Nigeria that I can beat my chest and say is better just got installed in Aba. If you play in Agege or Kano the ball can never stay on the ground, we watched the Aiteo cup final and the CHAN qualifier against Benin they were border line unwatchable.

Pitch is one thing. Stadium is another. We lack both in Africa. How do you think an avid EPL fan will rate African football when he sees that picture of Gambian fans almost close to the pitch? Isn't that an eyesore to you? Even my village league has moved past the stage of near-invasion of pitch.

has he been able to make frankfurt's match day squads this season? he should be drafted to our u20 team

The difference between these pictures is that one of them is in Africa. Liverpool fans are so close that this fan actually held back Balotelli to prevent him from getting a yellow. You can even see space between the grass and where the fans in Gambia are sited but that can't be seen at Anfield, that means the fans in England are even closer than those fans were.

I'm dropping this here for the next time someone is disrespectful enough to compare Giroud to Ighalo.

Sir, Please are you comparing the two?

Bro, its already playing out right before our eyes. South Africa couldn't beat Libya at home. South Africa might not even beat Seychelles away. I repeat they always choke at the end. We will definitely beat SA at home. Qualification is already in the bag.
