MetalJigsaw:
I knew the guy was just being overhyped

Danielnino00:
I don't think there was a media coverage of it...

Mujtahida:
That's how we used to be known as a team that plays from the wings. Denmark studied us and clipped our wings. We use counter attack but if we come to be known as a counter attacking team then just know that some team some where has a solution for that. We must have many tricks in our bag. Solid defence, solid midfield, solid attack. This is even not enough. We must have solid strategies based on information about our opponents.

Truidstar:
It is the DNA of this team, counter attack. You can be Brazil, France, Germany, Belgium, we no go follow you argue midfield, but no mistake lose the ball when pressing us. Our weakness na long balls. Poland will be a true test for us, when midfield probing does not work, they play long balls to Lewandoski.

Echiejile made his super eagles debut in 2009,played at 2010 WC and 2013ANC.but he did not play any competitive match for super eagles in 2012

profosa:
Ogenyi onazi,brown ideye were in the team 2012 but not echiejile

Mujtahida:
Isn't there a contradiction between the first bolded and the last? You say we are not adventurous and essentially we have stuck to the same set of players for the past six years. At least this is what I understand from what you wrote
6 years ago was 2012. Apart from Mikel, Moses, Echiejile, Ahmed Musa, Ighalo all the other players are new players. I disagree with your assertion.

Danielnino00:
The Flamingos fail to qualify for the world cup for the first time ever..

but what's up with the late goal that was disallowed though??

asha80:
dutch league like german and belgian leagues are an 18club league meaning a maximum of 34 matches can be played by a player per season unlike those based in england,france,italy and spain that all have 20club league(38 matches maximum)..also unlike in england they do not have their version of carabao cup as they only have the eredivisie(league) and their knvb cup(fa cup)..also unlike england they go on mid season break(usually 3-4 weeks)..then in the case of ebuehi his clube is not saddled with european engagements so the issue of fatigue does not arise.

asha80:
players from dutch league do not suffer from fatigue in june/july tournaments

tbaba1234:
19 year old from African Sport, ivory coast..

CaptainStephen:
exactly he could hit the type Alex used to score for Chelsea then.

Humility017:
I have always know that nancho and Moses Simon can do better wit free kicks...the dead balls Moses got to play against Cameroon....could have been well converted had it been it was left for nancho/S Moses to play....

I remember Simon made a good use of one against swaziland and nancho against Argentina...

Icon79:
For the pen, it gotta VicMo for me. Let's hope that Mikel doesn't decide to pull the captain's card tho


O pari

CaptainStephen:
Ndidi should also be saddled with direct freekicks from 35 yards, the boy rocket luncher leg must not waste

Icon79:
That's a very good point you raised there, AIG. Any good counter attack team must be deadly at set pieces. Right now, I will pick:

VicMo
KC Iheanacho
John Obi Mikel
Eddy Onazi, and
W. Ndidi

In that particular order....

kelechi and Moses Simon should be left wit our set pieces....except penalty kicks..thay should be left to V. moses
Moses have not really impress me wit the few ones he has been left wit...

Icon4s:
Taah if I wan switch allegiance e go come be Chipolopolo wey no dey go WC?

Every player wan play WC jare.

Go ask George Weah, Abedi Pele, Japhet Ndoram and co how e dey pain

Icon4s:
I was on the bench ke?

Well but since I have not been capped by Nigeria who knows? Loz...

jihday:
OK sir. no need wasting energy on you

Icon4s:
I think you are right. You cannot start a game except if you have 11 players.

I recall a friendly between Ghana and Zambia some time ago. Zambia had only 9 players. They had to search for Zambians anywhere in London. They were able to secure 3 Zambian students. 2 of them started the game while 1 was on the bench.

Zambia lost that game 4:0.

So I think you must start the game with 11 players else its a walk-over.

Mickael2:
I think it should be a walkover. And a paddy who watched the game said they were 11 but didn't have a bench but not 10, you shouldn't be able to start a game with 10 players and that was why Etim Esin(?) once played a match without being invited

Shukusheka:
They started the game with 10 players and had no one on the bench. Sums up how terrible our league is.
