What about Fikayo Tomori he is arguably the best defender in AC Milan.

The issue is not Milan but Chukwueze better team better player's he needs to step up .

Tomori is not a Super Eagle. We are only concerned with our boy. I'm sure the three lions will look after their player well.

charlesemeka85:
yes I streamed the match

His passes and touches distabilized the opponents midfield and defense

Abegi, na bottom of the table clash na. They go soon follow enter relegation.

Don't be shocked at the AFCON next year. I heard the facilities (especially the pitches) in Cote'd Ivoire still leaves much to be desired when we have less than four (4) months to go.

EXCLUSIVE: How I Convinced My Son To Play For Nigeria — Torunarigha’s Father


Ojokojo Torunarigha has revealed how he convinced his son Jordan to switch nationality and represent the Nigeria national team.

Jordan turned down chance to play for the Super Eagles at the 2018 FIFA World Cup despite strong plea from former Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr.

The centre-back played for Germany at youth level, but announced in June 2023 that he has switched allegiance to represent Nigeria.

Torunarigha is now in line to make his debut for the Super Eagles against Sao Tome and Principe on Sunday (today).

“He rejected the chance to play for the Super Eagles in the past, but I had to convince him to change his mind,”

“He was like I have never come down to Nigeria before, i don’t know much about the country.

“But I had to sit him down and tell him beautiful things about the country. I told him how passionate Nigerians are about football and how much they will appreciate him.

“So far, he is loving the experience of coming down here. This is his first time in Nigeria and we hope he will play for the Super Eagles for a long time.”

Joebie:
Truth is Orban will have immense opportunities with Togo than Naija

This opportunities might only come in qualifiers. They ain't likely to come at the big stage like in AFCON and World Cup proper

No debut for Gift Orban tomorrow. He suffered a knock in training today. There's still hope for Togo and Benin Republic.

Rohr's Benin Republic will not be at AFCON.

WHY PESEIRO ACCEPTED NIGERIA'S SHORT-TERM DEAL


Nigeria head coach Jose Peseiro has explained why he accepted a short-term deal after his previous contract expired in June this year.


The Portuguese tactician’s new contract will expire at the end of the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals set to be hosted by Ivory Coast between 13 January and 11 February 2024.


Peseiro indicated that he wanted to continue as the Super Eagles coach and go on to win the AFCON title with the West African giants.


“Me and my staff did everything in order to stay here to train these players and reach the big goal – win the AFCON title,” Peseiro told Brila.


Nigeria are three-time winners of the AFCON title and the last time they lifted the trophy was in 2013 in South Africa.


Since then they finished third at the 2019 AFCON finals in Egypt and they were knocked out in the Round of 16 in the 2021 edition in Cameroon

Gernot Rohr's Benin Republic suffered a last minute heart break💔 as they fell 3-2 away to Mozambique.

Jordan Torunarigha on Victor Osimhen;

"Osimhen is the best striker in the world right now. One of the best strikers in the world. And to be honest, I’ve never had something like this. I don’t know how to defend him. It’s weird.

"I played against Lewandowski and Haaland, and I figured out how to defend them. But for him, I don’t know. He’s strong, but he can keep the ball. It’s difficult, but I will find out."

Anybody that watches 2moro's have his brain checked at yaba. We have a league and you are calling foriegn based players to play lowly rated sao tome. Are we joking in this country

On the contrary, you are the one that's a joke. You want them to call players that will later go and play in Malta, Lithuania, and Hungary when we have AFCON in 4 months time?. Players that couldn't qualify for ordinary CHAN? The way we reason in this country is definitely different from other normal people.

Peseiro will be coaching the home based also. This is a welcome development.

From my experience, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Uganda have some of the most loud mouthed football fans in Africa... Especially when they are facing West African teams

All southern African teams in fact including South Africa. Those people can make you doubt SE team and players.

Dis guy sef Dey na…meanwhile y is d coaching crew not looking at Isaac success way despite playing for most of d serie A games?

Hmmm.... As it is, some red hot strikers might not make it to AFCON.
Osimhen
Moffi
Sadiq
Awoniyi
Iheanacho
Orban
Onuachu

The question is how many strikers will be in the squad?.

Former Golden Eaglet striker, Iheanacho has completed a move to Danish side, FC Midtylland. He signed a 5-year deal with the club. Congratulations to him.

Which lapses my brother? Midfield? All the goals we have scored came from where? Has he taken us to a tournament? Give him a tournament before u pass judgement.

What is Peseiro's pattern of play since he took charge? What are the improvements you have noticed personally. Note that, outside luck, those are what will determine if he will do well in a tournament or not .

Congratulations to Light Eke on his graduation from Secondary school according to complete sports.

This Sierra Leone coach and team na serious mumu dey worry dem. They had a chance to pack bus but they were looking for a third goal. Dem begin underrate Naija sef.

Now Dem don lose

Lol.
Actually, anything apart from a win for them is useless. The mistake was in them conceding two first half goals.

In other news, former flying eagles and SE midfielder, Femi Ajilore, has been elected as a board member in FCT football association.

Even though you got to the World Cup semifinals and beat Brazil, you can still collect from a Bafana Bafana team. That's football.

Morocco pull a goal back. Now 2-1.

But his teams are always fit and can play for 120minutes! ,na dt scoring b d problem and his team always have a decent midfield

Yeah, I agree but that scoring na wahala.

AndSunGorilla:

Ladan Bosso

My problem with Bosso is that his teams find it difficult scoring goals. The 2007 (Ideye, Akabueze, Efe Ambrose et al) and 2023 Flying Eagles sets attests to that. Things might be different with SE though.
