Count down to the first game

What did Omeruo do to Gernot Rohr that the man swore Omeruo will never start

John Ogu is not a defender and will be beaten for pace in a real match

Omeruo can pass the ball so not sure why he is not starting games

With right players and formation we will beat Croatia. 3-5-2 is our best formation.

But Rohr is behaving like he does not know his best players

We need To play the Croatia match like a World Cup final, if we don’t beat Croatia our World Cup is over

We need The below players in the starting line up

Etebo - energy and drive in midfield. Box-to-box
Ndidi - For his energy and destructive ability
Musa - we need his pace in the starting line up
Ebuehi - He offers a lot going forward
Omeruo - we need his experience in defence
Moses - LWB in a 3-5-2 system, the time for arrogance is over

Iwobi should start from the bench because he offers nothing defensively and in terms of winning the ball back. We need all our players marking the ball in the World Cup

We'll see what happens very soon.

i tip Nigeria to win this match, thank God betway.ng has some very nice odds

SPORT2018 World Cup: Only ‘tactics’ will decide Nigeria, Croatia clash – Mikel


Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi has stated that Nigeria’s Group D first match against Croatia at the 2018 World Cup in Russia will be a game of ‘tactics’.

Mikel believes that only tactics will decide which team will come out victorious when both sides clash on Saturday at the Kaliningrad Stadium.

The former Chelsea midfielder, however, said the Eagles will make sure they approach the game with a strategy that will make them have control throughout the duration of the match.

“Croatia are a fantastic team with fantastic players, but we have good players too,” Mikel told ESPN.

“It’s going to be a game of tactics. We have to play our game and make sure we control the game like we always do.

“It’s going to be tough, but we know how we play and how we want to play, so we are going to have to continue playing that way.

“So we can use the same motivation like we did in the qualifiers.

Mikel added, “Every game counts. We want to start the game on Saturday in a positive way. If we get a good result, we can build on that and hopefully qualify from the group.”

It appears this thread previously made front page but the subsequent one then made front page when it was created. And it's been pushed to front page again today.

I'm cool with the original joo.

I was so stoked for the Naija match I went to sleep thinking it was today.

But settling in now to watch Saudis on a giant screen. Enjoyment. . I picked the local Spanish channel over Fiox English channel cos it's so much more fun with the Latinos, mehn! . Is it sunset in Russia yet? Cos I know Saudis must fast no matter what. God help them. I can't imagine playing footie for 90 minutes on an empty stomach.

See ya all on the Saudi-Russki thread!

And Russki bears score!

PORT2018 World: Finidi George advises Super Eagles on best formation, warns Rohr about IcelandPublished on June 14, 2018 By Ifreke Inyang
Former Nigeria winger, Finidi George, has advised Gernot Rohr to stick to the 3-5-2 formation in the 2018 World Cup.

According to OwnGoalNigeria, Finidi says the Super Eagles play best in that tactical system and urged the technical crew to perfect it in training.

“No matter how good a team is, they must have a formation that they are comfortable with and which brings out the best in them. And no matter how good a formation is, if the players are not comfortable with it then it will just be like a waste of time.

“You need players who are intelligent enough to translate whatever formation the team is playing on the pitch. And the Super Eagles have shown in their games that they respond better to the 3-5-2 than any other formation.

“So I say why not stick to it? It’s good when you can switch from one formation to another but it’s better when you always start with your best foot forward rather than scrambling to change formation when you are already losing,” he said.

Finidi also warned Nigeria to be wary of debutants Iceland, who they will face in their second group game.

“They [Iceland] remind me of Nigeria in 1994. We went to the World Cup as African champions but not much was known about us so we were able to surprise a lot of people and we could have gone very far if we had a little more luck.


“Iceland are good if you consider what they did at the European championships in 2016. The fact that they qualified for the World Cup is also an indication of their strength so we must be careful so that they don’t spring a surprise on us particularly as they will play us in the second match,” he added.

Yes!!! We SOARING like the "King of all Birds" EAGLES

This Iceland team are this season's 98 Croat team.

I still love Messi though. Brilliant all around player, but blocked by a very determined and patriotic group that have something to prove. A tiny population of 334 k people with part-time footballers.

We need to be watchful of this Iceland team!

By the way, does it look like the referee hates the Argies? He gives them an angry "talking to" every time they fall down or have a grievance. Lol. I know Mascherano is a real pain in the neck though.
