2013 AFCON winning team Enyeama has been with national team since 2002,Mikel,2005,Efe 2007,Ideye 2007,Ikechukwu 2006,Moses 2012 played for years in Epl,Echiejile 2007,Emenike 2011 played many years in Europe and Africa. This is what is called experienced team.players that have tasted action home and abroad

Enyeama 2002 - 2013 = 11years... "Ahmed Musa covers this with his debut dating back to 2010"

Mikel 2005 - 2013 = 8years... Kenneth Omeruo covers this with his debut coming in 2013

Efe 2010- 2013 = 3years... Leon Balogun covers this with his debut coming I'm 2014

Uche 2007 not 2006 - 2013 = 6years... Troost Ekong and Akpeyi are here with their debuts coming in 2015

Echiejile/ Ideye 2010 - 2013 = 3years... Ndidi, Iwobi, Iheanacho cover this

Now, funny enough, the supposed experienced Ighalo wasn't even an integral member of this squad till 3 years ago, unlike those other players mentioned above. So where is the so called experience of his coming from?

This team already has enough experience and bulk of the experienced folks in this team made their debuts before Ighalo and remained with the team when Ighalo was exiled due to his poor form. Abeg make we hear word with this una over rated ABF defensive striker of a player

If SE needs something different from Osimehn in a game, I will rather ighalo come on than onuachu and awoniyi. I am just saying presently because I’m the future, things will change

Ighalo that can't run to save his life? The same Misses Ighalo we all know that will spurn 9 out of 10 clear cut chances? Lol una funny

My man and this team na rookies full am abi

The boy no know wetin him dey talk. Him just dey use the word "rookies" bkus e sweet him for mouth

zuchyblink:
If you go to the AFCON with the likes of Osimehn, Chukwueze, Ejuke..... forming the nucleus of our team,we are going to be whooped

Who are the rookies? By the way, what makes one experienced and the other a rookie? Did you know that Algeria's all conquering AFCON squad consisted of players who have never been to any major tourney prior that afcon, same as Cameroun's, Keshi's and Zambia's all conquering squads?

Which other experience do you need that you don't already have in Musa, Omeruo, Ekong, Balogun, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Awaziem, Ndidi, Chuks, Simon, Kalu and Osimhen? Has Ighalo played more Afcon or world cup than any of these players mentioned above?

If a whole NFF chairman is more concerned about bringing back a retired striker to provide "experience" to the abundance of already established strikers that we already have; at the expense of a lethargic midfield and defence that have been left ignored for too long by the coach... then it is obvious his cluelessness outweighs that of the obvious clueless Rohr... only positive here is that Ademola Lookman wants to play for Nigeria according to Pinnick's post, hopefully we should be seeing him in the GWG when the AFCON starts...

Cc Tobi

The clueless NFF chairman and his inept coach are at it again, always misplacing priorities and looking for short cuts for quick success.


Ighalo is older than Kele, yes, but is he really more experienced football wise? It shows these guys have not been analysing our matches. We don't need strikers. We have enough in Osimhen, Awoniyi and Onuachu all among the top scorers in their respective leagues, plus Kele. What we need are good midfielders, not just work horses but creative heads.

Cc Gochino

As a CB, before you mark Osimhen, you should first of all go to the hospital to make a deposit for your treatments after the match

I will reiterate; Paul Onuachu should be dropped in order for Awoniyi and Sadiq to be gauged.

You don't want Osimhen breathing down your defense. That young man is extremely rugged!

He is a war lord! Pure battle axe

Sorry guys, Osimhen won't be scoring today but he will win one PK for his team. The match will be a draw

Arabiandude:
For Amoo to take his team decisive penalty kick, it shows the influence he already has on the team, his contribution to his team and his level of self belief and confidence at this his young age and if he continues taken his team PK henceforth, he might score up to 20 goals this season.
He already has 8 league goals and he has started playing 90 minutes without been substituted by his coach.

The file below says it all

nairalandankrah:
House is full ooo..I remember those days when it used to be iheanacho gathering people here @ Nairaland viewing centre.., now it is OSIMHENNNNN the Napolitan BOMBER

Idiat

nairalandankrah:
You dont mean it!!!?

Erection

Clint02:

Nwanne you see that cross? Na only Modric dey pass like that. The thing sweet me die

jargooflife912:
It is high time Rohr invite Akinwunmi Amoo even if he is not going to play him at least just make him feel among

He should be invited and played. He deserves it, and we are in dire need of his services. If Germany could field Adeyemi, why then, can't we field Amoo?

nairalandankrah:
Iheanacho has got so good at holding up the ball and picking a good pass

I have always loved his passing abilities. His passes are always tailor made. There was this wicked cross he gave with the outside of his boot to Daka against Spartak Moscow that gave me an erection

Arabiandude:
And Amoo scores from the spot to give his team a 4:3 late winner after going down 1:3 earlier

Shame on you Rohr!!!!

Truidstar:
Vardy

So Rodgers is finally seeing that synergy between Daka and Acho, or was Vardy injured?

charlesemeka85:
na another match u Dey watch abi the one against brentford?

Nacho hv been good so far biko

Who was subbed off for Daka?

This Barca team is piss poor. Oboy! Vinicius has really improved ooo

Chuks doesn't look like he has been away for months oo. Boy is balling big time

AFCON 2021 trophy is Senegal's to lose. They have everything needed to triumph. Just watching Ballo-Toure in that AC Milan left back tearing Bologna apart, and I'm forced to say he is the Africa's best Left Back. Dude is phenomenal at both ends, and his crosses, orgasmic

andrewbaba44:
Vic mo doesn’t need you to tolerate him bro

He is better than all your wingers

No problem, but I'm not bringing him back until he changes his attitude

12large1:
Don’t worry we’re going to see how these youngsters perform at the next round. The same youngsters that are losing to CAR at home

Did ViicMo perform any better in the two world cups he has played for us? He was abysmal in 2014, and his attitude cost us a place at the knock out stages in 2018, so what makes you think he's gonna be Maradona or Ronaldo Delima over night?

About Ighalo, lol the less said about that one, the better

Ighalo the "ABF" striker?

Lol what did he do the last time he was there?

Lol I could tolerate VicMo if he changes his attitude and becomes disciplined. But Ighalo? No way, that one na confirm defensive striker

12large1:
Ighalo scored 2 goals again. Ighalo and Victor Moses will be needed for the final round of WCQ. They must return to the national team. It’s only Nigeria that wants to throw away its most experienced players

fabyom:
Who are the 80% Moroccan players that are starters and below 26 years? Mazraoui and Hakimi play the same position. Munir and En-Nesyri same club and same position. When last did Munir play for Seville? Ziyech is not a starter. So what's special about the Morrocan team?
Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and Ivory Coast have a lot of French-born players so it is quite difficult to know who is who?

OK sir. They are bench warmers. Ziyech is a useless bench warmer and all our offensive midfielders are better than him. Are you happy now?

drDoom3:
Amoo is actually faster. As fast as Insigne. Adeyemi is better though. Adeyemi is much more technical and with a better eye for goal. Amoo is still very immature in his game.

Bros, Amoo is more talented than Adeyemi. Adeyemi looks more refined because of the environment he was bred. Talent wise, he has nothing on Amoo. Amoo is better in take-ons, dribbling in open & tight spaces, guile and creativity.

charlesemeka85:
he is really interested in playing for us for a long time even when Hamburg we’re still in the top flight

He is just finding his feet, and he was not with Hamburg when they were in the Bundesliga

Eizzy003:
This 1 sef tire me ooooo, say Amoo better pass Adeyemi

The only thing Adeyemi does better than Amoo is pace. Amoo is stronger, more tricky, more creative and more cerebral for now

zoboizee:
Amoo is not a better talent than Adeyemi. He is not even as good as Adeyemi. That Adeyemi is an icon in the nearest future. He uses both feet, even though he's left footed. He's faster, more skillful & a more technically balanced player.

I have seen both closely, Amoo is more talented and more skillful

fabyom:
I care about the competitiveness of these so-called over-hyped African countries! If these are their top players then the Super Eagles have nothing to fear!
Some Europa teams are better than these teams you listed!
Also, the Senegalese Villereal guys don't even make the matchday squad. The Bayern guy is French!
How many of the Moroccan guys' start for their clubs nor are under-30 years?
Quality-wise, most African top teams' first eleven are not much apart.

80 percent of the Moroccan players are starters while others like Taarabt, Idrissi, Labyad and Feddal see good minutes from the bench.

80 percent of the Senegalese players are starters too. Boulaye Dia was signed same time as Danjuma but he got injured, thankfully he has started light training. Nicolas just made his debut. Balo Toure has been starting at left back for AC Milan lately.

90 percent of those players(Morocco and Senegal) are under 26 years old.

The photos below are for the French Bayern boy

solonnachi:
I am feeling that's all these revelations of his true identity are what made him pull out from SE. Maybe he was scared of the negative publicity it would cause.

Just my thought!

Utonwanne m, you got the drift. The top echelons started growing tired of his excesses and he knew that, that could let the cat outta the bag, then he left quietly. Dude is a smart guy.

If you know, you know
