Kog45:
Age discrepancies abi,naturally it will tell you can't cheat a nature.

yes

Kog45:
This is our major problem we tend to discard player easily based on age even if he is still performing.

At 25 these guys are still young and if they can continue with good performance then they are good for 2022 WC.

errm.. don't want to bring this issue up again but if what they are saying they are isnt what they really are then one cannot cheat oneself

Senegal drew with Luxembourg in a friendly

zuchyblink:
Can't Ogu play LB?

hehehehe..why cant Joel obi play at left back too

komekn:
Sorry I no fit talk oyibo for d matter.

My guy you want Rueben to Kolobee that shortee Kpebu Shehu for midfield. We need Ndidi desperately.

Ogu is too slow and will get left behind.

We cannot operate with two slow players in our midfield, Mikel is our focal point but we don't expect him to backtrack.

Our squad lacks strength in depth the loss of one first choice player could prove very very problematic.

still a friendly though..risking ndidi in that match might not end well

BascoVanVeli:
Great advice from presido! No rash fouls and no diving. Lets do this the right way. Go Naija!!

'play fair and win' hehe i laugh in south americans and europeans

lexyman:
the same way 94 team played , i remebered that Holland ( now Netherland) beat the team black and blue

you mean 98 squad? that is the team Holland beat 5-1 in a friendly

Martz101:
di maria,aguero,mascheran,dybali and higuin are bad abi

you have a point

peterd53:
Matuidi is in the team base on experience. Rabiot deserve a place in Russia, d guy is good.

if we are basing it on club form approaching this world cup then it is either tolliso or pogba that had to be dropped

OMANBALA1:
How can you say Rashford is not skillful ? Dude is full of skill with a disappointing final product

he has pace and long legs..cant say he he skills

Martz101:
who were the supporting cast for maradona in 1986, where the around maradona better than present day Argentina players?

valdano and burruchaga were good players

goldfish80:
So be it. Benzema is doing very well for himself. Although I believe fences could be mended.
For me, I dont believe Tolliso and Matuidi are better than Rabbiot

from some tweets I have seen it seems he hasn't played well for France though whenever he played.. as for benzema players do well for themselves in their clubs daily so it is no news.. the issue is if he himself is happy not being in the French set up.. his issue of course goes beyond on the pitch issues

goldfish80:
Exactly, I liked what Rabbiot did. It tells me the young man is very confident in his ability. He knows his onions. He might sound petulant in the open letter he wrote, but trust me, that is one confident young man. That is the stuff champions are made of.

good luck to him if any France coach calls him again in future

goldfish80:
By the way, if I was Agbo, I will be furious with Gernot Rohr. He was never given the chance to prove himself. You cannot keep inviting a player and give him no chance to justify his invitation, even in a micky mouse friendly. It is very very unfair. The world in this millennium do not reward meek people.

so should agbo do a rabiot or niangollan?

Joebie:
Trust me, I will watching their matches hoping they crash out early. But that’s how I was disappointed when they lifted both the I17 and U20 trophy

personally I believe they will do much better that they are expected to do.. not much hype on this team unlike Gerard, lampard, Beckham days... also they have good strikers in vardy and Kane but winning the world cup?? no way... those u17 and u20 triumphs I have to admit was surprising

MetalJigsaw:
So how come Mexico pummeled them?

still friendly match though

OMANBALA1:
You are being disingenuous

how?

OMANBALA1:
Rashford is skillful, Raheem sterling is also very skillful

abeg this one no follow..i agree sterling is tricky though

Joebie:
Kai what if England lift the cup?

they cant..they lack the x factor that teams need to win this tourney..the only team that seems not to have an x factor but goes ahead to win world cups is Germany but Germans have what most teams do not-mental strength..and that is not one of english virtues.

OMANBALA1:
For once I can say England has what it takes to win the world cup because there is is something different with this current team....Skills and creativity

skill kwa?who?dele alli or lingaard?i only feel they might do well(of course not winning the trophy)because there is no media hype on this team

Jarus:
Reminding me of CIV winning AFCON only when Drogba retired

Football can be funny sometimes.

and raul spain

Icon79:
Brazil captain "Can't promise we will win the world cup"
England captain "We can win the World Cup"

Who talks most sense? Vote LIKE for Silva SHARE for Kane


O pari

kane on a codeine diet

daveP:
officiating must be very straight up at Russia. Tackles are getting malicious intents these days.

you sure about this?me thinks tackles used to be more rugged in the past

Jarus:
Yes. Tough group with wacky players too.

Like this year's, we just dont have the players.


We didnt survive the group.

I fear for those similarities

yeah but our preparation and build up to this tournament is superior to 2002 own

Jarus:
Unfortunately, this may be our toughest group ever.

I'm really worried about our ability to survive that group.

i think 2002 was tougher even before the tournament started

Kog45:
I think medical reports from camp should do the talking not players telling us they are fit.World cup is not for unfit players.

Rohr must come out and tell us on their fitness cos players like Ebuehi and Ndidi are important to the team.

If Moses Simeon or any players would be out in the next two weeks then they should be dropped.

In other countries nothing like managing players, Romero out Argentina called replacement ASAP but here stories.

ther are few exceptions though..spain it seems want to wait on carvajal..egypt still have dreams of salah playing .

Naughtytboy:
ya but I feel Moses ndidi iwobi Mikel simy can pull a surprise. Senegal did it Ghana too even without great individual players

that senegal of 2002 had good individual players in salif diao,fadiga,henry camara,diuof,cisse..maybe not great but they were quite good.ghana 2010 yes werent so good individually per say

Naughtytboy:
This is the best pre world cup preparations ever, in terms of funds support and everything..... This boys just have to do us proud no excuse

you are right and i have also said this before..the only issue is that quality of players now cannot be compared to the 90's set

Luckyroro:
Get my point ma. Mixed race was used to buttress foreign bred. It doesn't necessarily mean they have to be, I only used that cos most of them are that way. You get?

you have to be specific in this issue ..you cant use mixed race anyhow..what it means is what it means(combination of different races)

Kog45:
Oga forgiveness i think you have been in this business for so long and you must know better how Nigeria national team selection goes irrespective of coach(foreign or local)

Different interest came into players selection and do not be deceived Rohr must listened to his back room staffs, so what they give him he works with.

I want to tell you that five dropped players from original 35 man list played against Atletico,and one keep on asking why players like Samuel Kalu,Ebere Eze,Peter Olayinka and Ajagun were not called up even if Rohr has seen enough of Nwakaeme,Kayode,Alampasu and Esiti.

Sir this is Nigeria nothing should surprised you,a lot of damn pressure from officials, agents and backroom staffs,bros you should know better,Nigeria factor and it would take an highly discipline coach to succeed.

I remember i was having discussion with Humility017 and i said i know a lot about eagles especially players invitations.

[b]Check Simeon injury issue,an NFF official insisted that Simeon must have another medical check up in London cos he was suspecting conspiracy.[/b]This are the pressure a coach face in managing Nigeria national team.

But good things is that Rohr is getting it right by managing the team irrespective of players recommended to him.He gave them the opportunity but if you don't measured up you are out

Sir let's hope for better WC irrespective of players involved cos 2018 w definitely determine 2019 Afcon and 2022 WC.

lmao is this true?

Meliforme:
Mr Jigsaw you are a very good analyst, i am just trying to proffer some sort of recommendation to the midfield mix to add fluidity, flair and dominance, It is not entirely out of place to feature two AMFs with Ndidi now playing behind as a cover for the defense. Apart from Mikel, who else is more technical and a better passer of the ball than Iwobi

ndidi is not his best playing position just sitting in front of the defense
