Joebie: I think the problem is preconceived ideas. Blind to everything that negates it.
to add i think his acute scepticism mirrors nigerian society as well. instead of interrogating and investigating each case on it's merits and allowing the evidence to draw one to a logical conclusion they will look at past misdeeds to influence them pass a judgment.
can't say i honestly blame him or such nigerians because the leadership in the country system generally always let's everyone down
simy nwankwo was included as a reward for his spell of good form in a top rated seria A not because of just sangolo. i never criticized onigbide for inviting ogbeche after all ogbeche was known to the national team even before the AFCON. however to answer the question you just raised ogbeche wasn't in blistering form heading into the world cup even the famous sangolo he no even score atleast simy score him own.
forgiveness: Are you among the people that crucified Onigbinde for including Ogbeche because of bicycle kick or Sangalo but suddenly and surprisingly applaus the inclusion of Simy because of the same bicycle kick or Sangalo?
oga forgiveness and his conspiracy theories smh anyway joebie you have addressed his concerns lets just sit down and back the team LET'S GO SUPER EAGLES
very corrupt southgate why didn't he pick 35 players nonsense. even tammy abraham that had a ''better first half of the season'' than welbeck was dropped. even solanke that plays for liverpool not west brom, crystal palace or stoke o! but LIVERPOOL was overlooked infact southgate is racist no be so forgiveness
lol yet ''the poor man's kanu'' has scored more goals in the seria a than the original Kanu you are right very funny
forgiveness: Why 'Poor Man's Kanu' Was Picked Ahead Of Kayode, Ajayi In Nigeria's Preliminary Squad?
Published: May 16, 2018
Why 'Poor Man's Kanu' Was Picked Ahead Of Kayode, Ajayi In Nigeria's Preliminary Squad? Al Ahly SC striker Junior Ajayi, Manchester City loanee Olarenwaju Kayode, Malaga duo Isaac Success and Brown Ideye missed the cut for Nigeria's 30-man provisional World Cup roster, with manager Gernot Rohr opting to hand a maiden call-up to Crotone's Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo.
Dubbed the 'New Nwankwo Kanu, Simy is Nigeria's most in-form striker playing in Europe's top five leagues, having netted six goals in his last seven matches in a league with the meanest defenses in Europe, the Serie A.
''The Serie A is a very tough league, it is a league where teams are built on solid defenses and we have ruthless man-markers,'' Super Eagles Media Officer Toyin Ibitoye explained to Channels Television why the lanky striker was invited.
''He's under the watch of our scouts for a long time not just because of the World Cup, he has scored some good goals, a spectacular overhead kick against Juventus.
''Now he has the opportunity to come to camp and show to the coaches why he should be at the World Cup.''
Simy spent the formative years of his football career at Future Hope Academy Nkpor, G.U.O FC and Imo United before joining the youth team of Portimonense in August 2010.
oga forgiveness i was just waiting for you to comment and you didn't let me down.
let me address your concerns from two angles. first speaking generally the list is ok no coach in the world can put up a list that will satisfy everybody. remember aime jaquet the french manager who dropped ginola and cantona before france 98? he was severely criticized for that action yet the french went on to win the world cup. or scolari in 2002 criticized for dropping romario or the italian coach in 1982 who took paolo rossi who was just coming out of a ban for match fixing. no list can 100% satisfy anybody. you have made some good player recommendations such as bryan idowu, tyrone ebuehi and joel obi who are in the team now so it's not all bad like you are painting it. days of player speculation are over now is the time to back the team full throttle. whether or not we do well in russia won't be because any better player was left out.
now to the specifics of what you wrote i agree some of the picks were not the best. eze and agbo realistically would never make the final world cup squad so why waste a spot on them. ambrose as you said and kayode would been better in place of those two. i also would not have personally chosen lokosa but i get the logic behind his selection. that said we are shaping up to take a very good squad to russia.
people to be finally dropped akpeyi, eze, echejiele, mikel agu, agbo, lokosa and between joel obi/simy nwankwo
forgiveness: Well, I will first of all want to understand the reason behind FIFA given teams the free license to submit a strong man 35 players list prior to naming of the final 23 man list instead of just naming the main 23 players.
I want to believe that this is done to allow a team to replace any certified injured player/players in the 23 man list prior to the first match of that particular team.
However, it's expected that the remaining players who don't make the 23 man list will still be part of the team, and remain with the team until the team is sure none of their players are out due to injury prior to the first match.
Therefore, all teams are expected to name a strong 30/35 man list or whatever should any injury predicament befalls them.
Suffice to say, no team will make a list to fullil all righteousness or with weaklines but what I am seeing on this list says otherwise.
Maybe, NFF hid the remaining 5 players on the list, I don't know but I am sure Rohr has made up his mind on who and who goes to the world Cup since 1900 before this list was announced today based on what is on the list and he believes no player can be injured before our first match because he is God who can prevent injury from happening hence the weaklines on his list.
I ask myself, starting from the defence, what is Eze playing in Bulgaria doing on the list?
Is he better than Ambrose, Gbenga Arokoyo etc?
Is he in the team to provide cover for Balogun, Troost or Awaziem peradventure one is out of the competition due to injury (God forbids)? Hahahahahaha! Very funny! I don't think so. Rohr just added him to complete the list without thinking.
Okay, peradventure Balogun is out of the competition due to injury and you have Omeruo and Troost-Ekong but one gets suspension for a match, so na Eze una wan put against Argentina? Even for bench should Awaziem plays!? Rohr must be joking.
Don't tell me key players can't injury prior to that time because I cried when Mikel Obi could not make the 2010 WC due to injury even Balogun and Echiejile lost out in 2014, and don't tell me you believe God than all the countries naming a strong 35 man lists because they believe God as much as you do too.
The truth is Rohr just added him on the list. He's not in contention for any slot hence he can be dropped without anyone raising an eye brow.
His slot is a waste on the list.
The midfield. Well, Agbo warm bench until em enter list but who will blame him? He was never given the chance to prove himself. Maybe, Rohr thinks he may flop if he plays and that could call for another player but Rohr doesn't want any player in the team that could take the shine away from his preferred players hence the need to keep inviting Agbo on the list.
There will be no resistance if Agbo is dropped.
However, apart from Mikel Obi, it is a blunt midfield filled with DMFs. Well, not bad if only Joel Obi will make the cut. He is the only CMF on the list.
SMH. Lokosa abi Lukuluku made the list. Untop wetin?
Why did Rohr include Lokosa on the list?
Is he the best striker Nigeria has in the whole wide World?
Can he provide cover for Ighalo peradventure he is out of the competition due to injury?
Will Iheanacho play all the matches from start to finish peradventure Ighalo is out because we know Lokosa is on the bench?
Do you choose players based on sentiment of promoting National league or choosing players based on the best available in the best clubs or leagues in the world?
Which daft coach from among the top Nations going to the world Cup will choose a player from their local league because dem wan promote dem league and ignored their 'best' players based on sentiment?
This was what Keshi did when he didn't think before he released his list for the 2014 World Cup when he was forced to replace Echiejile with Ezeonyi and the conferedation cup when he brought one top goal scorer from the NPFL to come disgrace us because he wanted to promote local league.
Mohammed Gambo was the player out of place in that match he played and he embarrassed the whole country with that his performance yet Rohr and NFF has brought sentiment into play once again.
Can lokako come from the bench and rescue us with a goal?
Well, I know Rohr never listed Lokosa to provide cover or competition for any player, he only brought him to fill the list because he is God to have envisaged that none of the players he predetermined from onset to take to the world Cup could suffer injury. Poor Rohr.
Waste of space again.
Now, to Simy. Rohr confirmed he received a call from his agent to just take a look at the boy and Simy is on the list.
Well, he deserves to be on the list but not at the expense of Kayode Olanrewaju because Kayode as it stands has played and achieved at the highest level than Simy.
However, it would have been great both made the list but for some reasons known only to Rohr and NFF which has nothing to do with football reason, both parties have decided from the onset to ignore and exclude Kayode from National team duties even though he was the best performing Nigerian striker in Europe last season and presently proving he could perform if given the chance.
If the likes of Mane Sadio and Nady Keita who both came from the Austrian league where Kayode was adjoured the best player, were Nigerians, they will never smell the National team.
Kayode is still better than both Simy and Lokosa. He should have been chosen ahead of Lokosa and allowed to slug it out with Simy but as it stands Rohr doesn't want Kayode in the National team. This has been made clear from the on set.
Even if he scores 4 million goals per second. It was very obvious from the oneset.
From the look of things, Rohr has decided to go with his preferred players but he must know that from whom much is given much is expected.
If he succeeds, he will be honoured but if he fails, he should be ready to receive the blame alone. No mercy.
Truidstar: Not just football, the whole coaching setup in Nigerian sports needs a shake up. Olympic games in 1992. Nigeria vs USA in boxing. The American boxer outclassed his Nigerian opponent in the first round. This was how the 2 coaches reacted:
American coach:"keep your jabs low, you're hurting him, you're hurting him, he opens up...boom, we got this"
forgiveness: If Germany, Brazil, Spain, France etc are to realise 35 man list, who is Rohr to go with 30?
That is very bad for our National team and for the players working hard in Europe to play for their father's land.
Everybody has their own style. FIFA has Said submit a maximum of 35 players. Some countries are going that route some are straight up releasing their 23 man list. If rohr says he needs 30 then let him be after all he knows where the shoe pinches
forgiveness: Chidiebere- Nwakali gate is not forgotten by me. It's corruption too..
I am waiting for his 35 man list. Though, I heard he among all the 32 teams going to the world Cup wants to release 30 man list. If true then I know Rohr is corrupt.
Forgiveness trust you but you are right let's not underestimate our penchant for doing wuru wuru when things are seemingly going smoothly.
As for rohr choosing to name 30 players I have no issue as long as the right 23 are picked in the end
komekn you have come again which top clubs were jayjay, oliseh and adepoju playing for in 1994? is it frankfurt, lierse or racing santander?
please in a bid to be realistic lets not sell ourselves short. yes the croats are slight favourites but they are very beatable. they are strong in certain areas but also weak in other aspects.
costa rica had no hope based on your analysis in 2014 but what happened they top their group against all the odds over fancied uruguay, italy and you guessed it england
yes getting out of our group will be difficult but easy with the self defeatist attitude
komekn: That's w very misplaced and misleading comparison.
Nigeria midfield 1994 JJay, Oliseh and Adepoju by 1998 they had progressed with the addition of Oruma, These players were playing at the top clubs of Europe at that time. PSG, Juventus, Real Sociedad and Marseille. Add to that our attacking force of Yekini, Amokachi, Emenike, Finidi, Kanu, Ikpeba add to that our defensive string line up if Uchechukwu and Taribo.
Team spirit doesn't win matches without quality players. Can you honestly compare the current bunch with set of 1194-19998.
lol more like asking wenger for the nearest job agency
TheSuperNerd: Hope you saw Billing in Huddersfield's midfield... Wetin you think on am? And Nacho's pressing na him make Mavropanos panic come lose ball to Nacho with Nacho about to burst clean on goal but Mavro chop am down... Lol... and as last man wey bring am down, na red card be that...
@Bolded.... Loooollll.... Hahahahahahahahaha... I understand thee Egbon... No worry, take heart okay. I am sure Wenger have sent Conte the link to the whatsapp group for the Europa league with a book on "how to make semis in Europe" since Conte never reach Semi in Europe yet... Loolll
See their convo....
Conte: Hello Arsene... Abeg u fit hook me up with that Europa league group for whatsapp... Huddersfield don confirm our fate.
Wenger: Ahhh.. Pas un probleme due tout (Not a problem at all), will send it to your assistant's phone aiit... Gimme a moment..
Conte: Okay, thank you very much.... Grazie.
Conte's assistant: Ahh Boss, Pa Wenger don send am...
Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr will be the 24th highest paid coach at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, according to a report published in the Netherlands on Wednesday.

i'm happy we don't have the pressure of being favourites we can prepare in peace and stay humble. nobody gave us a prayer getting out of our world cup qualifying group so this should serve as good motivation for the players.
don't mind some of these analysts and their ignorance isn't it one i saw the other day that referred to salisu yusuf as the super eagles manager? just bone them we know the enlightened ones both foreign and local
safarigirl: So, I have been watching videos on YouTube about World Cup predictions
I am glad to say, 97% predictions are certain Nigeria will not qualify, 85% of them have us bottom of the group, 70% are sure we won't scrape more than a point in all three games
However, I did encounter a certain gutsy fellow who has us finishing Top of the group (I am glad to say, he isn't Nigerian )
An Egyptian pundit thinks Nigeria has the best African team going to Russia (funny enough, he thinks Egypt has the worst)....he is however realistic in his expectations of qualifying and ranks Egypt as the African team with the highest qualification chances, followed by Senegal and Tunisia (because they don't have any actual powerhouses in their groups), Nigeria is 4th because Argentina is the only solid threat while the others are here and there, Morocco is dead last because they have the misfortune of playing Spain and Portugal
All in all, the predictions are okay I guess, however, the guy who thinks Nigeria will top Group D had the best analysis, others barely analysed, but his was in-depth, down to the tactical strength of each team, how they like to play (he got the part where Nigeria uses pace and soaks in pressure) and their talismans.
Watching these videos are actually fun.
PS: Some dude listed the players in our World Cup Squad. He had the likes of Alampasu, Enyeama, Success, Aaron Samuel, Nwakaeme and Emenike on his list
bro you may not like keshi but you can't ignore that he left a positive mark in nigerian football.
he came in when the super eagles were the butt of jokes all over the soccer world especially from fellow african countries calling us super chickens. maybe you have forgotten how embarrassing that period was.
he also coached us to an unexpected AFCON victory winning in style beating favourites like the drogba led ivory coast. he also qualified us for the world cup and took us past the group stage into the second round equalling our best ever performance. all this he achieved in 2 years through grit and hard work building from the bottom with home based players. something it took the much heralded clemens westerhof 5 years to achieve.
the big boss had his faults like every normal human being which we all criticized him for but we can't because of those short comings say he wasn't our best ever manager.
as for rohr i like him he's also contributing to the success of the super eagles but until he matches or surpasses keshi's achievements then bro there is no basis for comparison.
like every sincere nigerian fan i wish rohr and the super eagles success during and after the world cup
charlesemeka85: i dont disrespect the dead but it hurts me when people paint keshi as the messiah of our football but was sacked unjustly. why is it that every keshi fan out there does nothing but pray for rohr to fail? for christ sake you and i never gave this team a chance when the world cup qualifiers was drawn, we found our beloved team against 3 afcon winners, an Algerian team that was ranked number 1 in Africa as of then, a Cameroonian team that just got crowned afcon champions few months before the draw and a never say die Zambian team who we never find it easy against. i started having believe on this when rohr and his boys got 3 points away to Zambia. the German was able assemble a team in no distant time and displayed an attacking style of football that made them scary before opposing teams. after the defeat to south africa the team came back stronger and walloped Cameroon in uyo by 4 goals to nil! went to cameroon on the return leg and almost got away with 3 points if not for ezenwa's recklessness. watching the team you will see a unit that understands each other coupled with harmony,love and respect for one another.it gladdens my heart to know that the nff have act fast by giving rohr a new contract just because he is on the right track notwithstanding the outcome olf the teams outing in Russia
safarigirl: So I just went to the FIFA website to see the slogans and I agree with Joebie, they are all HORRIBLE.
I will be listing some of my favs that particularly stand out for their ridiculousness
ARGENTINA
MAGIA EN MOVIMIENTO Magic on the move
Really? Magic? Is the Argentine team a circus? Are we going to a magic show?
Australia
ONLY THOSE WHO SHARE OUR PASSION UNDERSTAND OUR PRIDE
This is so plain, so dispassionate. Nothing here should give anyone pride, it can be said with a straight face
Belgium (Nothing is Good here)
Be Fast Be Good Be Belgium !
This one sounds like the lines from a Car advertisement. I mean, you can remove Belgium there and put Hyundai and it would make more sense
From Belgium with Love
I dunno, is it a wedding card? Is it someone's birthday? Besides, isn't that the title of a movie? Only, it's From Paris, not From Belgium
Red Devils on a mission
First team I would think of is Manchester United, obviously!
Brazil
A PÁTRIA DE CHUTEIRAS THE NATION OF SOCCER CLEATS
This is just ridiculous...nuff said
Colombia
¡AQUÍ VIAJA LA SELECCIÓN QUE NOS LLENA DE ORGULLO EL CORAZÓN! HERE GOES THE TEAM THAT FILLS OUR HEARTS WITH PRIDE!
Sounds like they pulled this out of a Children's book, like "Here goes Poppy, the Party Pig"
Costa Rica
UN EQUIPO, UN PAÍS, UNA PASIÓN, VAMOS SELECCIÓN ONE TEAM, ONE COUNTRY, A PASION, GO TEAM
This one is painful to read, because it would have been perfect without the addition of "Go Team" that line just spoilt the rest of it
Croatia
SRCEM DO VRHA! To the top with heart
I mean...Really?!
Egypt
الملايين We're back after years, to make millions happy
من قلب الجليد سنعود فائزين. From the heart of snow we shall return with victory
لما نقول الفراعنة الدنيا تقوم تسمعنا When you say Pharaohs, the world must get up and listen
NOTHING is good here, it is sad that after 27 years, Egypt returns to the WC with shiit slogans that can't even ginger a six-year old. That last one is particularly daft...why will we get up and listen? Is this football or a music concert? Listen to what? Vuvuzelas?
England
SEND US VICTORIOUS
I know the team can be a bore....but nobody deserves such a bland slogan
France
GAGNER POUR QUE LE RÊVE DEVIENNE RÉALITÉ Win, To make the dream comes true
Let us ignore the obvious grammatical blunder....this is horrible........
Denmark was omitted from this list because I thought their options were decent enough in the midst of all the nonsense PART 2 Loading....
nice one boss hope you have recovered from last nights arsenal horror show. i've tried to desensitize myself from their wahala but i no go lie yesterday result pain me to my marrow
Russian culture is very prosperous. It comprises of decades based on their diverse background. Russians tradition features their skill, meals, traditions, literary works, thought patterns and much more.
Russian culture is rich in style and variety, reflecting their passion for education, arts and liberal arts. These people are very accepting and accommodate all the religious beliefs. This makes Russia a multi-cultural and multi-religious state.
I will definitely pick anyone of either Roma, Liverpool, or Manchester city keepers if eligible to play for us.......Who wouldn't??
But wake up and smell the coffee ☕, the reality on ground is different. We have just few options in Ezenwa, Ajiboye, Ejide, Aiyenugba and Uzoho... With these options i will certainly pick Uzoho among the lots not because he is the best but because going forward into the future, its going to be a better decision.
Age has caught up with the rest and like they say... You can't teach an old dog new tricks
But fortunately for us Uzoho is a young puppy �... So fill in the blank spaces
i raised the point in my last paragraph when you mentioned how many goals the aforementioned conceded
yes uzoho is the youngest of the bunch but can we categorically say he's the best? left to coach rohr to decide
realpoacher: At bolded, he is very ready for the world cup.
From what i saw yesterday and over the course of the UCL knockout stages...., i refuse to look down on Uzoho henceforth because I saw nothing of note done by any of these top class goalies to merit their pay and name!
I will not be cajoled or bought over by name, titles or the hogwash talk about experience when in actual sense non could deliver on the pitch when it mattered most.
For christ sake, every shot at ultriech was a fucccking goal. Its ridiculous..... .. Even Navas was not spared
Last night, it was goals galore at both ends of Alison and karius.... If i didn't watch these matches, i would probably have been brainwashed with hullabaloos... But it seems like i sat down there last night at the viewing center watching basketball � instead of football. Same for Madrid vs Juventus match, same for Liverpool vs Roma first leg, same for Barcelona vs Roma
The keepers performance so far is Atrocious, say it as it is... I can't watch such crap from supposed experienced, top class goalies and turn around to say Uzoho is not ready for the world cup. He is ready!!
Read my lips.... UZOHO IS READY!.. UZOHO IS READY!!.... UZOHO IS READY!!!
bro i admire your patriotism and defence of uzoho but the truth of the matter is if not for our current dicey goalkeeping situation francis would be far from being considered a choice for the number 1 slot.
all top goalkeepers have at one point in their careers conceded bucket loads of goals but their is a reason why they command the number 1 shirt experience, consistent good/great performances over a period of time and obviously talent. francis as good as he is still has a lot of errors in his game that can't just be over looked. if rohr picks him to man the post at the world cup all well and good i will give him full 100% support.
but bro be honest if the roma, liverpool or man city goalkeepers for some reason were eligible to play for nigeria are you saying in all honesty you would not pick them over uzoho?
Icon79: Good point, Safari. But don't forget that marriage can also (and do also) derails some people's career. It all depends on the kinda wifey you married. Like my momsy (RIP) would say, "marriage is like a locked box, you don't know what's in it until you open it".
O pari
hopefully he is hooking up with the right girl. every man no matter which profession or work he's involved in needs a good woman who can positively affect his destiny. i also thought it might be rather too young for him to marry but on the other hand with the kind of distractions young footballers face in europe it's a wise decision. i read alex ferguson used to encourage his players to marry early to keep them on the straight and narrow
Icon79: This is mostly true but my sources are giving a more optimistic assessment. According to my sources, Ndidi is expected to be out 2-3 weeks for recovery then add another full week of gym work to regain full fitness. Hence, that puts him match fit by the end of May.
O pari
i concur with supernerds thoughts ndidi needs to fully focus on his recovery. we will need his energy and running against the technically superior croatian midfield
Martz101: Bros Chris I remember moses was our best player in 2013 nations cup but went hiding in the worldcup proper in 2014, his not been stable with the team and famously claimed to be injured after 90min performance with chelsea.
Everyone that know Omerou very well before will laugh at you, the young kid that never put any foot wrong, played in the worldcup like a star but his less confident play of late will make you wonder if Omerou is actually an identical twins.
Mikel and Onazi is the bedrock of Nigeria team, no wonder they are the captain and assistant, I won't want to enter into a long argument with you, maybe when I'm by this time tomorrow we can go own on it
bro you forgot to note v.moses contributed largely to our successful world cup qualifying campaign
Yes I agree kenneth has not been as consistent as his early years but I still think he was comparatively better
I like onazi but truth be told he should do more so he can get back to the pre 2014 performance levels
how many world cup qualifying match did Moses play??
omerou was a starter, is he a starter now.
since Onazi debut he has never missed a competitive game for us when fit
consistency just doesn't mean number of appearances but level of performance your hand on yours hearts after 2014 how many good games has onazi had for Nigeria? The other players I mentioned have been comparatively better over the 6 year period.
Icon4s: He didn't say Onazi has played over 10 years. He simply implies that when you look at our players over the last 10year period, Onazi is one of the most consistent. Komekn abi no be so?
ok I get you but even the point you make about his consistency is debatable first two years yes ok but since 2014 he has been blowing hot and cold mostly cold truth be told
komekn: Onazi has been one of the most consistent players in the SE over the past 10 years.
He is central to the SE and has to be one if the first names on the team sheet. My opinion is that his agents didn't manage his career properly he should not be playing in Turkey.
onazi 10 years? Actually he joined the national team in 2012 Agree with the rest of your comment plus I would add that onazi is good for the dressing room and brings good team spirit that said dude needs to lose weight sha
Icon4s: As we do a count down to Russia 2010 kick-off, I have decided to share some things as part of my contributions to The sights and sounds of Russia:
Starting with the national Anthem of Russia. That happens to be about what I like most about the country . It happens to be my 3rd favorite national anthem. (1st Nigeria, 2nd USA). With English lyrics.
tbaba12345: Match officials were beaten up after the match between Heartland and Plateau united and Heartland press statement essentially justified the assault.
when the LMC bans them (heartland) and deducts points people will start shouting board room decision is spoiling nigerian league. all of us have to make up our mind the kind we want LMC can't do it all alone
