When your midfield is thin and without any creativity? C.A.R. would repeat the same tactics they used against the Super Eagles in Lagos and might end up getting a draw . C.A R. have nothing to lose if the country loses or draws.

JohnBullMySon:
CAR will pay dearly for this on Sunday.

Lool...those long balls might have worked for Onuachu.

andrewbaba44:
I just allow everyone rant In peace yesterday

Nigeria will qualify for next round ,but I have already said if we are not careful we won’t qualify for the World Cup ,but I believe we will scale through .

At least onuachu did not play for many Warey here to wrongly accuse and pour their frustrations on

I somehow foresaw this loss, while arguing with Truidstar.

Rohr is just tactically daft, just because he wants to accommodate Iheanacho, if he wants to accommodate Iheanacho he has to play the 3-5-2 formation. If he plays this 4-4-2 formation against a team like Algeria, he's just calling for disaster.

Subzero047:
The earlier we move away from this 4-4-2 the better for us, Ejuke and Kalu as traditional wingers in a 433 would have done damage to these guys

What you get when you play with an unbalanced team, a team short on midfielders.

Danielnino00:
A whole super eagles playing long balls and long throw ins against Central African Republic...

Help me ask o.

jargooflife912:
Must Ahmed Musa play?

Rohr is extremely daft, subbing Aribo for Musa, when the Super Eagles is thin on midfielders.

Sameul Kalu has been subbed in.

IDENNAA:
Kalu is on the bench but we need a forward turned defender, but we have defenders. Abeg, don't ask me to explain this

Iheanacho scores!, a birthday gift for him.

As a wingback not as a winger.

Will walk into our 11

This is football anything can happen, didn't minnows Sheriff Tiraspol win Real Madrid at the Bernabeu? You don't have to take chances when your three of your main midfielders won't be around to play. Ndidi, Iwobi and Etebo won't be around, you need to like for like replacements if their are any around.

Truidstar:
The our midfield is too thin, Rohr for invite X and Y crowd, una don crawl out of una holes again. Na CAR we dey play make una no forget.

Wrong replacement, Iwobi is the main source of creativity in Nigeria's midfield and he has no replacement currently in the Super Eagles team, the midfield is thin and he's being replaced with a striker. When Obinna Nwobodo or even Kelechi Nwakali could have been called up as a replacement. This is Rohr in his vintage daft mode.

Ihenzy:
Terem Moffi called up to replaced injured Alex Iwobi

You still can't compare his form then to Musa now.

chrisooblog:
You make a fair point but the fact of the matter is the Yobo of 2014 was already undergoing diminishing returns just like Musa is right now but we still included them for their experience and standing in the team.

If Musa eventually gets his 100 caps I will still salute him because he has been a great servant to Nigerian football. Will I completely say he has nothing left in the tank? Who knows but remember pre-2018 WC Musa was on an awful run of form guy was even playing in the reserves of Leicester City but he turned out being our best player at the world cup in russia.

By current form Musa shouldn't be in the squad but we all know inclusion in national team squads all over the world is not always as straight forward as that.

IDENNAA:
Osim Baba is an African, we are naturally stronger and faster than Caucasians, therefore Osimhen's energy should not be questioned. Maybe I am biased but when was the last time a white person won 100m race in track and field....abeg , make them test that Italian!

I'm telling you.

Clint02:
No creativity left at all

If he was born in a Spanish speaking country he can use the excuse of the Spanish naming custom where both an individual's surname and mother's maiden name are used in the person's name.

ChrisKels:
No, you are wrong, it is already in the public. He is a public figure, and he is supposed to have his home in order so he doesn't become an object of ridicule. He needs to be reminded. You all be trying to be more Western than the westerners, hence sweeping our customs and traditions under the carpet. When a child is going the wrong way, you ought to give him corrections, then it is left for him to heed or not. He was not born out of wedlock, so it is silly for him to adopt his mother's maiden surname and have his own surname relegated. We believe in "afa m efuna"

In Yobo's case Nigeria had a dearth of defenders playing at the elite level while in Musa's case Nigeria has a least 6 wingers playing at the elite level in better form than Musa.

Also, you can't compare Yobo's form at that time, he wasn't clubless at point like Musa and he wasn't inactive and match rusty for over 3 months.

chrisooblog:
Was Yobo's own "earned"?

Going into the 2014 WC was Yobo our best defender? Remember at the time Omeruo and Oboabona were our defensive pairing. Keshi even dropped Joseph from the squad for some time until the WC came around so will you say Yobo fraudulently earned his 100 caps?

I'm telling you, if it was by merit, Musa should haven't been called up after the 2019 AFCON, Musa is way past his prime to be earning call ups.

ChrisKels:
In the future, I will remember Musa for his 4goals at the world cup, but I will never celebrate him as someone who managed a century of caps for the eagles. Yobo and Enyema got theirs on merit, Musa is getting his fraudulently, hence, in my book, I can never place him in the same league as those previous two. A century of caps must be earned, and every count of it must be merited otherwise it looses its value. The NFF should stop the history of helping players to fraudulently earn a 100 caps to the detriment of the team. Well, this is Nigeria, a failed state.

Taiwo Awoniyi scores for Union Berlin.

Chidera Ejuke with an assist for CSKA Moscow

Yeah, the likes of Insigne and Politano aren't shooting from any angle like they do before.

Subzero047:
Osimhen has been assisted by Insigne and Zielinski in his last two games, it seems some things are changing

Osimhen wins a penalty for Napoli

Osimhen scores

D'Tigress have won the 2021 Afrobasket Women Championship by defeating their Malian rivals, this is D'Tigress 3rd consecutive title.

[quote author=Subzero047 post=106125329]I've repeatedly said it here when it comes to passing to Iheanacho Ndidi turns to Pirlo, I don't know why he can't pass that way to his other teammates, now look at this pass

Ndidi's brilliant assist 💯
Iheanacho's outrageous strike 😳

This Leicester goal from last night is a beauty to watch.pic.twitter.com/J8kaETaMhl

It might be he has Nigerian ancestry through one of his grandparents because his Transfermarket.com flag has only that of England,meaning he's not eligible for Nigeria.

ICYMI Shocker: Liverpool's Curtis Jones has Nigerian Heritage

Do you know before now that the talented Central Midfield player, Curtis Jones (20 yrs) has a Nigerian Father?

Nothing much is known about his dad. Only his mum, Sandra comes to mind and is known by the media. Well, Curtis' GF, a British-pakistani revealed on her tiktok that Curtis is indeed of Dual heritage. Curtis is British-Nigerian but I don't know if he strongly identifies with his Naija roots.

So now you know. CURTIS JULIAN JONES is Half British and Half Nigerian. Wonders.

The Dutch or Belgian league would be good for him.

charlesemeka85:
I see him leaving Sweden soon to a bigger league

I hope this is not home based players playing friendlies that negatively affect Super Eagles
FIFA rankings due to their mediocre performances.
