Junior Agogo, Slayer of the star-studded Super Eagles team of 2008. So sad Ghana were a man down in that match. Still wondering how SE can concede such a goal

leganes abi nantes?

Nantes Please. Thanks

Moses Simon move to Nantes on loan finalized. The Club have the option to buy at the end of the season.

Humility017:
Like the German 4th division for the German national team....
go check history you'll find out most of German goal keepers passed through Sam's route

Who is Sam?

safarigirl:
the issue now is, understudy to who?

Lol.

This Goalkeeping issue for SE tire me o. I believe we will get over it sha. It's just a matter of time.

Doherty is obviously pained by Maduka Okoye's Invitation. He feels Sebastian Osigwe in the Switzerland 3rd division is more deserving of the invite.

In my opinion however, I see no difference between the German 4th division and Switzerland 3rd division.

Ebere Eze is not in the match day squad that is tackling Bristol City presently. Could he be injured? Or is it because it is a league cup match?.

Modified
Luke Amos scored the last penalty for QPR as they advance to the next round of the football league cup.

Okereke's Brugge are currently down by two goals to one. They will go through if the situation stays this way.

Tranfer na transfer....... how many million Euros?

Well, maybe 0.05 million Euros. A record transfer.

Moses Simon arrives France to agree loan move to Nantes

All this boys sef don get the scope. According to Baba Rohr, there are just 3 leagues in the world and these are the Ligue 1, the Bundesliga and the others.

charlesemeka85:
Heard Rohr was the one who advised onyekuru to move to Monaco when the latter was insisting on returning to Galatasaray on loan from Everton.

Maybe Baba don warn am say "Grab that move if you want to be in contention in SE"

Okereke and Tau strikes at 2:14 and 2:55 minute respectively

All these three players don't need change of nationality to play for Nigeria.

I thought Eze has already played for England U-20 .

Rohr reveals what will happen to Samuel Chukwueze next year


Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr has tipped Samuel Chukwueze to “explode” next year.
Speaking with SportingLife, Rohr however advised the Villarreal winger to become more business-like in his approach to the game.
The German also identified the areas he wants Chukwueze to work on, to become a complete world-class star.
“(Samuel) Chukwueze is improving. He showed it against South Africa during the last AFCON in Egypt. But he still needs to improve more.
“He is now 20 years old and full of football talents and skills. He has a wonderful left foot, good dribbling skills, and good mobility. He is a great player for the future. I think he should be a very important player for the Eagles in future.
“He, however, needs to work more on these lapses. Mentally and physically, Chukwueze has to improve.

“When I saw him arriving for the Algeria match after performing well against South Africa, I told him, my little boy, you now have a new hairstyle and you want to look beautiful for the (Algeria) game. I told him, yes I understand. It is okay.
“I said yes your hairstyle is so nice but we are not here (in Egypt) to look beautiful but we are there for football war. Its a fight and a fierce fight against these great African teams like Algeria and our aspirations is to win the match.
“I told him to show me he can do it. I told him to use his heart for the game but not the new hairstyle.

“So there is still this understanding the issue regarding a high level of competition, to do well in big matches. So the match against Algeria was very hard for him because he is still young and learning the ropes. But it’s normal anyway.
“I want him (Chukwueze) to win time not to waste time in match situations. I want him to take his actions quickly. I believe by next year (2020) he will be fully ready for the fight to move up to greater responsibility and also excel for club and country,” Rohr said.

You underestimate the potency of women in the destruction of young stars.

If this is coming from Safarigirl herself, then women are to be handled with wisdom (I don't want to say that they are dangerous, ).

While Onyedinma who gives consistent top quality performance, joins Wycombe Wanderers in the abyss of the league one, on a permanent basis from Millwall,





Pretender Osimhen lands in France for his Lille medicals.

Lol
You forgot to add continuous and outstanding

Taliban:
I think Rohr is contemplating leaving us. His comments if I stay makes me think that.

Abeg he should make up his mind fast so that we will know where we stand. All this "If" is getting me pissed off

I once had outstanding in Physics WAEC exam. It was released in about a month (or even less) and I made an A1. But that was way back in 2006. Cheer up and hope for the best.

Newly appointed General Manager of Heartland, Chief Chukwudi Ifeanyi, has told Completesports.com that the club under his watch will strive for self reliance, generate funds and depend less on the government of Imo State.

Why did it take so long to establish that this guy was simply not the right person for this position.

The reason is because Buhari is in charge

ChrisKels:
Dont know if this has been posted here before now. Valentine Ozornwafor made his debut for Galatasary versus RB Lepzig on Friday...
Coming in midway in the second-half, after the Gala defence had already let in 3 goals in a 2-3 loss.

Wao
That's encouraging

ChrisKels:
While our boys were busy going on a strike and fighting for money in an important tourney, this is what Algeria was found doing;


Bahgdad Bouhneja: “We play for Algeria, we don't play for money, we don't play for fame. When I enter the stadium(in the fennecs shirt), I only play for Algeria, I have nothing else I play for”.

So what (or who) were they playing for when they failed to win the AFCON all this years or qualify for the last world cup?
The truth is that any victorious team would have said that.
Congratulations to them anyways.

Note: I'm not in any way taking sides with our players for holding the country to ransom

ChrisKels:
Djamel Belmadi is such a good coach

I hope he makes Algeria consistent. He shouldn't be like Nigeria who went to sleep after AFCON 2013 triumph.

Home Analysis Match Analysis Africa Cup of Nations 2019: Algeria vs Nigeria – tactical preview



The last four of the Africa cup of nations pits Nigeria against Algeria. The desert foxes of Algeria are the highest goal scorers in the competition with 10 goals, and the yet unbeaten side only conceded their first goal against Ivory Coast in the quarterfinal. Nigeria, meanwhile, are less swashbuckling but do know how to win games, losing only to Madagascar after they had qualified from their group.

Our tactical analysis charts the progress of both teams and how the game can be won for both sides.

Form
Nigeria qualified for the semi-finals in a 2-1 win over rivals South Africa in Cairo. The Super Eagles took the lead through Villareal man Samuel Chukwueze, and were unlucky to concede when video assistant referee-VAR spotted Odion Ighalo’s touch which made Bongani Zungu’s looping header onside. The Nigerians found an 89th-minute winner from a corner kick scored by Udinese’s William Troost-Ekong.

Algeria came out on top in a pulsating 1-1 draw with Ivory Coast which went to extra time and penalties. Sofiane Feghouli netted the opener before Aston Villa’s Jonathan Kodjia equalized for the Ivorians in the second half, Algeria’s Raïs M’Bolhi saved one of two missed spot kicks.

Varying Styles
Algeria are intricate in and around the box. With their 4-1-4-1 setup allowing the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Feghouli, Youcef Belaïli and Baghdad Bounedjah to combine with quick movements. Nigeria, pertinently, have a strong defensive core that includes midfielders Wilfred Ndidi, Peter Etebo and the back four.

Nigeria have shown incredible fighting spirit so far at this tournament such that they haven’t played at their best but keep winning. Their aerial prowess (17 aerials won per game) has been important for them, and they would look to utilise it against the Algerians (13.4 aerials per game). With diagonal long passes from their defence into pacy and tricky wingers, Nigeria isolate the full-backs and hit on the counter. Central defenders Omeruo (5.5 long passes per game) and Troost-Ekong (4. are adept at it followed by central midfielders Etebo (3.6) and Ndidi (2).

Advantage Nigeria?
Nigeria’s conservative style and the extra 24 hours preparation having played on Wednesday night might prove vital. We also have to take into account Algeria’s all-action style and those extra thirty minutes and penalties in their quarterfinal clash on Thursday night. Nigeria also have the psychological advantage having beaten the North Africans in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, although the return leg ended one-all with Nigeria already qualified, Algeria were awarded a three-nil win due to Nigeria fielding a suspended player.

Adam Ounas, however, must have other ideas, he has three goals and one assist in only 121 minutes and the Super Eagles should be wary of the Napoli man. Mahrez is also dangerous as ever for Algeria having already netted two goals, he and striker Bounedjah would hope to get at Nigeria as much as possible with Islam Slimani also on the bench.

Conclusion
It would take a huge effort to knockout this rampant Algeria side, thus Nigeria need to bring their A game. Their hopes rest on the shoulders of their all-important defence, as well as Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi, Ahmed Musa and Ighalo going forward. Algeria must be hoping to dispatch the Super Eagles early but that could just play into Nigeria’s smart play.

However the outcome, both teams can be proud of their AFCON run and the winner would take that momentum into the final

No be SA beat Egypt in front of 75,000 fans?

True talk.

nairalandankrah:
Don't think so but,
Iggy is definitely a starter, along with Samu, all is beginning to fall into place now so the only piece of the puzzle I think remains is how to deal with musas lack of end product...
Henry might be the answer/starter ... Osimhen to come in later for iggy during the course of the game

Henry to start?
If that happens, I just pray Rohr wins, if not Guys will change mouth o
