Humility017:
don't you think something can still be done?
I read somewhere any player outside can be called up to replace any injured player in the 23 man list.....

any player outside the 23 man list but is amongst the 7 stand bys(30-7=23)

Humility017:
i am concerned with his passing skills.... which ogu and co currently lack...
him going to the world cup does not mean he will command a full debut....at least he can replace mikel sometimes in the second half...

that guy makes it look as if...mikel is in the field playing.... that the kind of player we need come in for mikel... in Russia.
I personally I am not too pleased with the presence of many DM and Cm in the team...moreover taking him to Russia will help in his development and the super eagles in the long run... it will make a big statement to arsenal and wherever he goes on loan that he is an AM and the drive tp convert him to a CM,DM,Winger etc will be curtailed...had it been keshi did same towards nancho...city won't have easily convert him to a striker....

we are currently short of AM in the super eagles....so why don't we build an encourage him to grow into that role...for now and the future sake.

he will not go because he is not listed in the 30 man list ..it is that simple

morikee:
Enough of this advert. #TheChildrenoftheElite

how is mc oluomo supposed to be an elite?

maasoap:
Betting impoverish people, simple. It's not about morality for me, it about plunging people further into poverty believing that ones day, they would win big!
There is a great difference between government that collects taxes as low as 5% and poor people using their daily incomes to place bets.

this your thought pattern is as good as trying to enforce morality..the people betting no longer can control themselves?are they forced to bet?is betting mandatory?haba!..maybe igf goverments did what they are supoosed to do first poverty would have being greatly reduced in the first instance.

safarigirl:
it's not that I am denying Moses' importance in the team, and if he and Rohr have an agreement, that is all fine and good, but can Rohr read the minds of his team mates?

If, in a family, the parents give leeway to just one of the children simply because he performs best in his academics, will the other children not feel slighted?

I feel like most people supporting Moses are looking at things from the angle of "Moses and Rohr", they haven't considered that Rohr will not be on the pitch with Moses. That Yekini example, is therefore, a good one.

What if the other players decide that dem no go pass ball to Moses again? After all, since he is the golden boy, let him find a way to get the ball without the rest of the team.


Perspective goes a long way

this is true though

maasoap:
All leaders from both south and North are guilty of impoverishing their people. But the keyword in my comment was FURTHER.
I know what online betting are doing to guys around me in the southern part of Nigeria, it's worrisome. Believe me.

lets stop all these morality crap before we descend to iranian style of dictating of peoples lives..people should learn personal responsibility for any action..do you know how betting industry helps a nation?ask UK and USA how much they make for betting industry..all these are faux pa morality self..govt should do what they are supposed to do help the infrastructure and economy grow and expand and some these guys you are complaining about would actually leave gambling

Unlimited22:
Go and see the Serbia game again.
Even before that, our last two qualification games.
Even the game we won against Poland.
Then compare that to our games against Cameroon and Algeria.
Spot the differences.
Are you serious? The complacency of the fans has no bearing on the team?

please tell me how it is supposed to have any bearing on the team?prior to 2013 nations cup lots of Nigerians wrote off that team(including me) but they won it anyway..Colombians were over the moon about their usa 94 team but they crashed out in the first round..maradona himself said Argentinians never gave the 86 side any chance but they went all the way..so what are you saying?

you are very funny..i guess Croatia got complacent after qualification that was why peru beat them 2-0 in a friendly the same day we played poland..also too argentina got complacent that was why they were threashed 6-1 by spain..look friendly matches are to fine tune lots of things in a team..results help boost confidence but results are quite deceitful..i guess we were also complacent when the team beat Argentina 4-2..what was the complacency against the zambian team in uyo?is it because we beat them by a goal only?so you judge complacency in result only and not in their actual effort?no reason to even talk about the aigerian game in algeria

Unlimited22:
Both.
We seem to have been lured into a sense of security that's completely unfounded. There should be a difference between self-belief and stupidity.
Even scholars define cowardice as not the absence of but the ability to act in spite of fear.

please help me with an instance of how the team has become complacet?(for fans it has no bearing anyway in the team)

Unlimited22:
Good God, I wish you'd seen me worrying when that draw was made and how I screamed my head off after every goal, every save, every dribble.
However we shouldn't get complacent because we qualified this time around without employing a mathematician to do permutation and combination. The Serbia game was a reality check.
The team is improving, but is still average. It is not contestable.
Our prayer is that the average team forms a cohesive Unit with a mix of terrier hearts and flashes of individual brilliance that will take us far.
If I don't say the team is excellent, which isn't true, does it mean I'm from Niger Republic?
Na WA o.

are you talking about the fans or the team itself?

ChrisKels:
U no get yarns Mr

ChrisKels:
If only I knew which history? What has his history got to do with the innocent post of his that Joebie was trynna twist?

like i said if only you know his former moniker and history.. Guy make we just face front

sweetgala:
How can you argue that the abuse of betting and drugs benefits the poor. The fact remains both south and north betnaija and Betfair have a net negative impact on the lives of the poor. Many people are suffering in poverty because of this.
These companies make money of the loss of millions of Nigerians 100 naira at a time.

what a mentality displayed here.. Na wa

ItsMeAboki:
Gambling is a vice, it is addictive, it ruins and enslaves lives; even the Bible does not support it - not everyone is irresponsible enough to embrace such immorality.

smh

ChrisKels:
U now talk rubbish these days. Chidiebere is shortened to either Chidi or Ebere(Ebele) . My name is Kelechi, it's shortened to KC, reason some people call Iheanacho, KC. Even the name "Iheanacho (Ifeanacho) is shortened to Acho not Nacho. Where forgiveness take enter this matter I no know. U guys should try to free up ur minds.

Some time ago I wrote here Dat Ajala was a common name in my place, hence Simon Daddy Ajala could be from my community, person begin talk rubbish say Ajala has always been a yoruba name as though we were fighting. Just few days, a certain chinedu Ajanah (Ajala) played for our team B and I was kinda exonerated.

Make we no dey view everything via tribal lens, it makes us look stupid abeg

if only you know the history of the person that sparked this off

Humility017:
that's bad...the folks that set those rules have no sympathy...
well we just hope mikel stay fit all through the world cup...

lol @ sympathy.. every team was a given a max of 35 players to submit to fifa in case someone from under listed 23 gets injured prior to when the tournament starts.. if by now a country does not know the players it is supposed to put in those 35man list then that country isn't serious

somehow:
Are you trying to say there are no worldcup bound players in that match already with their various countries? Someone said Ogu played 2 days ago. what about that?

you are comparing intensity of the english season to isreal?isreal goes on break..do the english clubs go on break?from august to now no break?

mank1234:
His team is exiting in second round. Not a serious contender. Truth is Moses is almost always late to camp.

i agree with this

mank1234:
Just one extra match. If he was NDIDI that means he won't even show in camp till eve of world cup. How many minutes has he played this season compared to Ndidi?

Let's wait and see when CR7 will report to camp after UCL final.

ndid did not play the last leicester game which was even two weeks ago so your line no too hold water..


this is lukaku as at yesterday http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5766309/Romelu-Lukaku-hangs-rapper-actor-Fat-Joe.html

JustCurious:
Those countries are more developed with better opportunities for her youth! What has Nigeria done for hers than introducing gambling centres on every street?

then the country should focus on improving the education and job opportunities in the country rather than stifling already existing jobs..improve the economy..shikena

JustCurious:
Awesome! Good one. God bless him.
That betting ish is badly affecting slot of young minds. Derailing them. Sadly, high school students are not patronising them. Betnja is distraction. Young people need better opportunity not betting organisations.

like betting do not go on in uk and usa

MaziOmenuko:
This guy is a joker! Does he even have the right to do this? Nigerians have freedom of association and freedom of movement.How dare you tell someone who is doing a LEGAL business to leave your state? Sports betting is duly registered and regulated by Nigerian Gaming Commission; I am sure a lot of people from Borno are working in the Nigerian Gaming Commission and the dullard governor recieves allocation from taxes paid to the FG by these betting companies.

FG should start excluding Taxes generated from alcohol and sports betting from these sharia states.

if Nigeria practised fiscal federalism he can can do such with back up of course from the borno legislature..but you don see as naija federalism be na

somehow:
Is he the only EPL player in the squad? I thought Ighalo played for his club of recent before coming to Nigeria? Same with Mikel?

when did the chinese league start? was it not two months ago?can any player from chinese league going to the world cup complain of fatigue?did iwobi or aresenal play fa cup final?

OMANBALA1:
Chidiebele/Ebere/Ebele all mean same thing, God is merciful.

lol you are yet to thoroughly wean yourself of the what you said you used to be some pages ago when you discussed white/black man issues..i go just move on if your former handle is indeed whom you really are.

Martz101:
Ogu played on monday and his in camp

epl doesn't go on break..lukaku as i am typing now is in usa hanging out with fat joe..cant compare the rigours of the epl to isreali league

Mujtahida:
Excellent football. The whole pitch is their domain. I once read that they even inspired Brazil.

dont know about influencing brazil but i feel ajax of 1993 to 1996 and dutch national teams of 1988 euros and from from 1997 to 2001(ajax style inspired) looked up to that..of course the barca team under cruyff from 1990 to 1995 and subsequently barca team under guardiola (who is a cruyff disciple)

Martz101:
.

you think him being english brought has any effect in this?you know english players and this aversion to play outside england

Mujtahida:
I just finished watching the documentary on that team.

what do/did you feel?

tbaba1234:
Dribbling ability

1. V.Moses
2. Ighalo
3. Simon Moses
4. Iwobi/Mikel

ighalo dribbling ability?

OMANBALA1:
Kedu udi akuko m' na ako ?

Cant you see the class with which Ebele Nwakali and his brother dribble players? They dribble and release the ball unlike Moses.

Give me a team that will have Onyekuru, Chukwueze, Ebele Nwakali, Kelechi Nwakali, Iwobi, Kelechi , Orji Okonkwo, Musa Muhamed, Ebube/Ikuowen, Kingsley Michael and see correct samba on display

i actually thought you meant for this world cup ..yes post world cup you are right

OMANBALA1:
Victor Moses is taking Nigeria for a ride....A reformed Onyekuru will do a better job and Chidiebere Nwakali can even dribble better than Victor Moses. I saw flashes of what Ebere Nwakali can do against Athletico.

akuko

krattoss:
Abeg make Rohr keep handling vic Moses with his fatherly kid glove..
No time for brawls, disunity and misunderstanding in the team

for the one week off given to moses i really dont see any issue with it..premiership player needs a break since the season there has no break..lukaku right now is chilling in USA with fat joe..remember this applies only to Chelsea and man u players since they played fa cup lasr saturday
