Their 3 former colonies: Guinea-Bissau, Angola and Mozambique. How are they performing?

Nna anybody but those leeches

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Oh oh... Here it comes. Chriskels' hammer upon Rohr.


But that aside.. Eze's process won't be long naa. I really needed to post this to get thoughts or did Eze play for an England U-12 or something that requires a switch? Lol.. All he needed was a call-up naa.. not so?

Anyway, I really hope we eventually pluck this fruit for good and stop admiring it from a short distance.

Shebi u c how aggressive the Ivorians are with recruitment that has made them have a mammoth of pool to select from. Why cant we do that to also have a hat plethora of good players? Just look at Ivory coast and the move they just made for Tie, the Chelsea young goalkeeping sensation. Why cant we do such with highly rated Gavin Bazunnu before Ireland ties him down? Man, Rohr is clueless and lacks vision

Ebere Eze at the heart of Nigeria's dual citizen debate
By Colin Udoh, West Africa Editor, KweséESPN

Queens Park Rangers' Eberechi Eze, who some consider Nigeria's great attacking midfield hope, is one step away from being lost to the Super Eagles.

So could he still be in Nigeria's plans? "Yes," Rohr told KweséESPN, before admitting that the road is now just that little bit tougher: "But it will be a long process before authorisation for him to play for us."

You should be very ashamed of urself for saying the bolded Mr Rohr

My brother I tire.

My Elder Brother who is a Historian used to tell me he wished we were colonised by France and not Britain.

Look at even the economy of these Francophone countries. Very stable. Those in West Africa even have a common currency, the CFA, which allows for ease of trade across these countries as they even share boundaries. Compare with the anglophone West Africa: Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Gambia. All I see is hardship and Wars. Thank God we are blessed with Oil. Who knows how poor Nigeria would have been today?

It is painful. We would even have been better off with the Portuguese but for the strong witches from kellycute and his fellow binis, though, if the Portuguese had stayed, I doubt there would have been any amalgamation. The present day Nigeria would atleast, av been four different countries with bini the smallest just like Togo

Icon4s:
On your last paragraph. Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Morocco and Algeria have really benefited a lot from France their former colonial masters. It is very easy for a young Francophone player to find his way to France to develop his football talent. Then also a good number of them were born there. Some chose to play for France others opt for their parents' origin. U no see the French team too?

Chai, how we ended up with these parasites called Britain is bleeping bewildering

Good for a debate And I know just the gladiators that can do battle in the debate arena on this if they so choose to. Forgiveness and Chriskels. It is a no-brainer #SoarSuperEagles


What does Moses Simon's recall mean for Samuel Kalu?
By Solace Chukwu, Correspondent


https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/a5/37/samuel-kalu-bordeaux_1vs9lzdc8pwzs1u1yhyu23ura3.jpg

The return of one of Gernot Rohr's trusted lieutenants could have grave consequences for the continued growth of the Super Eagles

The impact of Moses Simon 's injury on Nigeria's World Cup campaign has perhaps not been given the column inches it deserves.
For the entirety of the Super Eagles' World Cup qualifying campaign, Gernot Rohr stayed committed to his preferred shape: a 4-2-3-1, with two deep ball-winners and Simon, a repurposed inside-forward, holding the width on the right side of midfield.
It worked, as the results attested. The former Gent man was restrained in his attacking movements, but was disciplined enough to fulfill his tactical duties: providing a counterweight to Victor Moses' roaming from the left, allowing Shehu Abdullahi - a converted midfielder - to tuck inside rather than bomb forward, and also protecting the right full-back zone in defensive transitions.

Losing him necessitated a switch to a 3-5-2, but Rohr did not seem convinced by that shape, and stubbornly tried to plug Alex Iwobi, a totally different sort of player, into the role for the opening group hame against Croatia. It failed spectacularly, and the German shed his stubbornness subsequently, but the damage was done in a 2-0 defeat.
It would be a stretch to say Simon's injury cost Nigeria a place in the Round of 16, but not by much.

That makes this weekend's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya intriguing indeed, and that because it challenges Rohr to make a decision between his own staid pragmatism and the continued growth of his Super Eagles build.
As Simon nursed back to full fitness, Samuel Kalu seemed to rise out of the blue.
They were, of course, teammates at Gent last season, but Kalu's move to Ligue 1 side Bordeaux suddenly shone a light on his immense talents.
It seemed odd that he was not considered leading up to the Mundial, even if it would have been a left-field call, as he is more naturally a wide player who can stretch the play and deliver crosses.
Surely, if Rohr was able to keep tabs on Simon, he must have noticed Kalu as well, who had a more eye-catching season?


https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/c1/e0/samuel-kalu-of-gent_2kjqpb7yzth219rabkskuived.jpg

In any case, the 20-year-old made his international debut last month against Seychelles, playing in Simon's position on the right, and impressed in winning a second-half penalty. However, with Simon back in the fold, might Rohr be tempted to revert to his preferred system and personnel?
The evidence would definitely suggest precisely that. The 64-year-old is fiercely loyal, even when it is manifestly not in the common interest.
Simon, aside his tactical conscientiousness, is reportedly one of the German's favourites in the national team set-up, and will be favourite to regain his position in the side, in spite of the fact he has only played a total of 49 league minutes this term for new club Levante.
While this is in keeping with Rohr's general preference, it would be a shame to see Kalu miss out.

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/e8/68/gernot-rohr_jcumfytpg76m1tlofif8vzk81.jpg

Even with the uncertainty over the team's optimal shape, the World Cup exposed the need for evolution within the set-up.

If the relative inexperience of the side meant Rohr was keen to play the underdog, the logical next step would be to expand on that safety-first approach, to flesh it out and make the team more comfortable playing on the front foot.
Kalu embodies that progression, being a more natural winger, as well as being quicker and a superior dribbler. If the side is to become a more coherent, potent creation, it is important to embrace square pegs in square holes.
Even more so, it is important to embrace merit. Rohr is somewhat justified, in that international football can be an unforgiving terrain for the inexperienced.

However, to continue to hide behind that borders on cowardice, and will continue to keep the side from fulfilling its destiny.

Lol Nerdy bwoy, leave us ooo

Icon4s:
Haha, in Lagos and Benin they call it "Pot" and not "Small mortar" . Mind u these are Ndigbo kwa o.

I know it is actually a small mortar but the sellers call it Pot. Like "how many pots", " Full pot or half pot". Lol. Something like that. Isi-Ewu is bae. Nri Igbo Amaka.

Seriously, if u really wanna poison me, do it via isi-ewu, nkwobi, okporoko and ugbaa agworo agwo with a chilled palm wine from udi(anike achime) or Ezeagu/Awgu(anike mgbagbu owa) or rafia wine from Uturu, Okigwe or Isuikwuato. Chai!!!!!

kellycute:
ighalo dey embarrass us (edo). Flashback to the era of Julius aghahowa( aghawonder), yakubu, osazee and my humble self.. kellydinho (ogida product) I dey tear net with my left leg. Ighalo is a disgrace to our legacy as a potent and memesrizing forward.
I’m outtie

Go and sit down

kellycute:
i be confirm bini man in and out and ighalo is a fraud.

I put it to u, u are igbo and u are a tribalist. U be bini yet u are supporting players with chi in their names and also supporting players with olorun and oluwa in their names? in fact, u are igbo. As long as u dont have same mindset as GiwaDalung, u are igbo. As long as u are open minded, u are Igbo, as long as u dont support mediocrity, u are igbo, as long as u stand for justice and dont have any tribal inclination, u are igbo

Icon4s:
Bro, I don't think there is anybody here that does not want improvements in the team. The problem is some are calling for every Tom, Dick and Harry. Any name that looks like Tom Danjuma, Dick Adekanye or Harry Obiora that plays in one European Club, their heads will start spinning and the next shout is "Cap him, Cap him, Cap him"! Lol.

We cannot secure all our foreign born players. We can only strive to get those we think we should and can. Especially those that are willing.

And those willing ones like that mbaise boy and the other one from ngor okpala(Billing Anyanwu), the waffirian (Ejaria), what have we done to get them?

andrew444:
The old guard was eased out and this same guard could not qualify for the world cup ?

I would've loved to discuss this with u, like I just did with Icon4s, but knowing u for who u are and ur puerile proclivity to resort to uncouth words when debates aint going ur way, I would rather snub u. Until u learn some manners and stop acting like a typical millennial who cant handle differing opinions, I'd only cackle and walk away whenever I see ur post/quote.

Good afternoon bro

TheSuperNerd:
You are getting a statue and that is final...

Gbam!!!!! Weda he likes it or not

Icon4s:
I would rather value more a pot of Ishi-Ewu.

Uh statue epp?

Story, dem dey put isi-ewu for pot??

My dear, in case of next time, nkwobi and isi ewu are sold in a small mortar not pot, not plate.

Icon4s:
Now u are talking. "The team is gonna be.....". Different from " The team is already more ......".

And note that the "gonna be" u mentioned is still a probability. That is the reality bro.

I know u might think I am fond of lowering expectations but bro don't mind me na wetin I don see several times.

I mind u. The Argument is not between Nigeria and CIV, it is between Drogba's CIV and Zaha's CIV.

Well, no problems. But, for those of them who think Nigeria has a good squad now hence shouldn't approach the approachables, they should have a rethink because right now, we aint as good as Senegal, Morocco and the Ivory Coast.


But guy wait ooo, how do the Ivorians do it, producing world class players every era? The thing gbakwara m ara oo but I no enter market.

Afobear:
Bia ,ekwela ka Kitikpa kwusie GI Eze n'ubochi a

Icon4s:
These are their result Post 2018 WCQ of which they could not make it from the group.

Uganda 0:0 CIV
Togo 2:2 CIV
CIV 2:1 Maldova
Rwanda 1:2 CIV.

These are all 2018 results.

Look at the strength of the oppositions and see results. How do these results make dem look stronger than the Drogba's era?

U will say "a New crop of Ivorian players are on the rise" and not that "they now have a more formidable team than Drogba's era". Even with the quality of players the Ivorians had then do u know how long it took them to conquer Africa? Drogba did not even touch the Afcon trophy in his entire career. Again teams don't become formidable overnight, it takes a building process.

Do u think super eagles can beat the Cranes or Togo away?

The bolded is the reason I see that era as less unnerving than this present crop. Maybe I gave them credit in xs but, trust me this team is gonna be more redoubtable than that toothless bulldog of a squad they had then. All what they need now, is a better number 9. In the midfield, Sangare can offer more than what Yaya gave them before his peak, add to that, kessie, Boga, the ever mesmerising Seri, the tireless Fofana, Doukoure et al. They have never been lucky with the man between the sticks; from Tizie to Barry. In the defense, they are the best in Africa with baily, gbamin, gnagnon, djidji, Dabila et al as their Centre back options. As good as Boly of wolvesampton is in the Epl now, he hasn't been considered good enough for the Ivory Coast, others like kanons, konan, Bambas are also on the fringes. In the attack, imagine Zaha and Pepe breathing down on ur defense from either wings like an Elephant in labour, man ur goalkeeper is gonna pee his pants. In that attack, Gradel can do a job, as Kodjia but, they need someone better than these too sha. But for now, they can make do with with Cornet of Lyon.

Icon4s:
Reason I often criticise many here. Jumping at any info and start the hyping.

U cannot yet claim they have a more formidable squad than the era of Drogba and Kolo Toure. How many games have they played Post World Cup? What have they achieved thus far? Teams do not become great over night. It takes a building process.

Are u sure uv bn following them since those old guards were eased out?

Icon4s:
OK o.

Onigbinde don suffer.

In other words, it is an insult to Onigbinde to be mentioned in the same sentence as Rohr? Hahahahaha Rohr is a big scam

The Ivory Coast has risen again. They now have a more formidable squad than the days of the Toures and the Drogbas of this world. People talk about Senegal, but forget the bad ass Elephants are back again in all facet though they can do better in the number 9 position.

Afobear:
win fire

Seriously, this boy bu ezigbo akpa amu mkpi

tbaba1234:
Nwakali and Yahaya have not made Porto B in the last few games. They are not injured.

I dont believe in Yahaya, Chigozie Eze anymore. Bn 5yrs since they shone in that U17 tourney, yet they still play youth football. This is what is called stagnation.

About Nwakali, the less said, the better. To think that a certain scam of a coach invited this boy ahead of Ebere Eze and James Igbekeme...SMH

Joebie:
What did I say different? I didn’t say he didn’t start. I only said he was currently on the pitch at the time.

Lol sorry bro, I mistook that pitch for bench

Any idea why Sincere Seth didnt make the match day squad today?
Cc tbaba1234

Kayode subbed on in the 65th minute as Shaktar Donetsk battle Zorya at home.

Idowu drops to the bench in the Moscow derby against CSKA.

Dennis Bounaventure and Arnaut Danjuma start for Brugge against Liege who has Uche Agbo on the bench

Joebie:
Oviemuno “Schoolboy” Ejaria in the thick of action from the start for Rangers as they are currently trashing table toppers, Hearts. About 65 mins played.

Uche Ikpeazu is on the pitch for the visitors.

Uche Ikpeazu started and played the match to the end, bro.

For the first time since he turned professional, Samuel Chukwueze named in Villarreal's 18man squad for an encounter in the Laliga. He might be making his league debut today

So happy for Odubajo, he made his first start today . after everything he has been through , I'm glad he's come back strongly.

Seyi Ojo once again started for Reims but was subbed off in the 70th minute

Omerou benefitted from an unfortunate injury to his direct competitor in the heart of Leganes defense to make his debut today in the 29th minute

charlesemeka85:
ebere ezeh called up to england u20 team. i hate gernot rohr for neglecting this kid ever since

U thought I was joking when I said that asshole is here just for the pay? The boy has suffered enough neglect already, hence I wouldn't be mad at him if he chooses the lions ahead of the Eagles, the lions have already shown that they want him most , that sense of belonging is there now. Just imagine the humiliation the boy has faced by being over looked for an Academy player in Nwakali, plus Etebo and Ajayi getting selected ahead of him even though he has been out performing them in the same league. Rohr is clueless. I never knew we could fall for such fraud. He is a damne scammer

Danielnino00:
Ssdly bro, what u just typed seems like the truth.. I've often restrained from criticizing Rohr until I saw the line up for that Croatia game.. I wondered why a coach will play 5 pre world cup friendlies and still not be able to learn anything.. The man really killed the team with his team selection.. He isn't ready to learn at all..

Post world cup,we expect him to start rebuilding the team ahead of the afcon and Qatar 2022 . But see the rubbish he is doing. Calling up some people who don't deserve it and ignoring the pool of talents we have out there..
With Rohr still in charge,I'm afraid, our Qatar 2022 dream is very unrealistic..

Shebi if I dey talk am, ppl wey no sabi their left from their right, go open mouth dey talk trash. Well bro, na sidon dey look I dey but if I tell u I'm still counting on Rohr, den, I dey lie give u
