Pls who has the link to the full match of Nigeria vs Iceland today? Or who knows the site where one can watch the full match

AIG07:
Abeg who gave the assist to Musa's second goal?

Omeruo

Check http://nairatv.com/ for livestream of the match

When will the coach announce the final 23 man squad. I was a fan of Joel Obi but can now see that he doesn't merit a place in the team. I don't think Rohr can drop Onazi o.

What about using your phone or laptop while charging it?. So guilty of that. Any consequence?

gamaliel9:
Ante Redic..the guy that sunk Bayern Munchen in the Cup Final yesterday is not in the Croatian team...coaches eee

Kayode Odejaye also did the same thing to Chelsea but was he actually good?

Joshuamilarge:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

For God sake, do I have to explain to you that this picture is actually the opposite of the present situation?

Which body is on strike?
Which body want their salaries "adjusted" as was done for Doctors in 2014
Which body wants to become Consultants just like Doctors
Which body wants to become Chief MEDICAL(I don't know why people find it hard to understand this) Director like Doctors
Which body want central placement of its Interns approved as was done ( but not yet implemented) for House Officers
I can go on and on.

If after all these points I raised, you still don't understand that the pix was actually edited and is the reverse of the actual situation in the health sector, then I give up on your case.

MetalJigsaw:
I'm talking about his recently bereaved first team place in the team... When the suspended defender returns he'd be back to the bench.

Well d season is almost ended

Danielnino00:
Its here folks...


But I wonder why Nacho, Balogun and Ndidi aren't here...

Must our first eleven feature in that inconsequential pix?

Even though, the news was exaggerated (Not sure if 20 neonates actually died), JOHESU members did something terribly bad in FMC Owerri which is similar to what hoodlums and street urchins are capable of doing
This screenshot is from someone working there.
The reason why they can never be leaders in the health sector (as ministers or as heads of the hospitals) has been laid bare for all to see

My advice to you is please before you respond to any comment on this thread PLEASE PUT YOUR BRAIN IN GEAR FIRST. What I expected you to ask me is which period I was referring to. I was referring to the 2004-2010 period when the Essiens, Drogbas, Toures, Muntaris and Keitas reigned. Can you please remind me in case I have forgotten between 1996-2002 the creme dey LA creme players you are referring to.

Can't you make your point politely?. Must you insult him?

safarigirl:
I've had a lot of thinking time today and realised that I have erred a lot recently.

Without going into any unnecessary explanation, I would like to send an unreserved apology to andrew44 for my harsh words to him, I'm very sorry about the way everything escalated. Sorry for insulting your person, I allowed my ange get the best of me and I'm sorry.


I also want to apologise to sir komekn once again, for reading your intentions wrong. We don't always see eye to eye, so I may have read your posts with a biased eye. I sincerely apologise for that and j promise that it will never happen again.


I also want to apologise to this thread and its members for all the drama this week. I was responsible for derailing this thread and failing to respect the opinions of some members. So, I apologise to everyone.

As much as I can, I will refrain from getting into any confrontations on this thread henceforth.

Wao Safarigirl, I am one of your secret fans. With this post, u just made my day (even though the day is just about to start.......Lol). You have simply won me over completely. Your apology is a show of strength not weakness. Nice one from you

Off the top of my head.

1. Musa assist for Ideye against Mali in the 2013 nations cup

2. Musa cross for Nwofor in the Mandela cup.

3. Musa cross for Victor Moses against Algeria

4. Moses deep cross for Simon Moses against cameroon in a friendly game.

I think -
for the first instance, it was Emenike that gave that cross to Ideye sir not Musa (Ideye scored in the first half while Musa came in the second)


for the Moses simon's goal against Cameroon that assist from Musa (off a swift counter) was more of through Ball to Simon

Another look at the highlights would help sir

And it is full-time in Sudan. Scores remained 2-0 against Akwa Utd. Can they score three unreplied goals in Uyo?. Only time will tell

17 mins gone. Akwa utd are currently down by two goals. What is happening to our dear NPFL Clubs?

Danielnino00:
MFM are down 1-0 at home to Djiloba of Mali... Plateau united won 2-1 at home against USM Algers ... it's gonna b a tough return leg for them both...

Akwa united take on Al Hilal of Sudan today..licl off in 2 mins


Modified... Full time MFM-0 vs Djiloba-1 ... seems like the Olukoya boys are out.... They aren't convincing away from home..

I think the kick off for Akwa utd match is actually 06:30pm

tbaba1234:
What about Yahaya, he is now a right back.

Imagine! I didn't even see that one

Dedebanky85:
I'm not referring to your initial AM tussle you were discussing referencing Ebere Eze. I'm looking at it from a bigger pics. We tend to want all these players, but truth is that Naija is also very competitive and a domineering int'l career is not guaranteed for somenof these FBs players... But to your question, at the moment, 2 AMs. But in the future (2 to 3 yrs), we'd have about 4. Nwakali, Ifeanyi Matthews, Yahaya etc. Now if we want to start living in fantasies like @Forgiveness, then we could start adding guys like Lookman, Ejaria, Onomah and it starts becoming herculean for all of them to play regularly for us.

Did you just mentioned Ifeanyi Matthew as an AM?. Well, no one is above mistake sha

Mikel Obi has been absent in Gernot Rohr's two losses as SE coach. Is Mikel to Super Eagles what Messi is to Argentina?

AIG07:
Some Nigerians can be so funny and irrational in their thinking.
While watching the game, a man seated infront of exclaimed "this team is full of bunch of fools who can't play football and Nigeria is doomed" simply because we went a goal down.

I shut him up by saying these same fools qualified us for the world cup from a very tight and competitive group. They did it in style by qualifying despite us missing out in the last two consecutive AFCONs. The same fools defeated Argentina Poland, Cameroon, Algeria, Zambia...

The man just kept is mouth shut-till the end of the match. So much for the plastic fans.

One of the reasons why I don't like going to commercial viewing centres atimes

Germany lost (at home) too but to Brazil. This will lower our expectation from the boys and also give a (false) sense of relief to out opponents . Good result. Let's now continue with our preparation.

Icon79:
I am not sure about Beinsports international, but BeinSports USA is showing it at 10PM EST (delayed telecast, I believe). That's why I would be going offline in the next 1 hour .... I don't wanna hear the results before I watch the game

And by the way, if you have access to ESPN 3, Egypt vs Greece is on now .


O pari

But it's only a friendly na. "Results" does not matter

TheLoneCitizen:
I definitely celebrated our win and I'm still ruminating over it but that's not the point.


That statement you bolded becomes significant when you realize that I'm against the idea that we have arrived after our win against Poland as popular belief is.


I'm with the motion that we won dirty, and nobody wants to accept that. Everyone believes we outplayed Poland, when we were rubbish, while they were woeful. Ask yourself this, "if Poland had won, what would I have thought?".


Don't label me an anti.

Bros, No one is saying the SE has arrived. The purpose of friendlies is to build your team to perfection. Fine, We didn't play too well against Poland but considering where we are from, the quality of our players, and the game being played away from home, I think it wasn't a bad game. The area I disagree with, is basing SE (and Poland) strength on that single match. Our opponents will sure not do that because that can be suicidal for them.
I think we can match many of these top ranked teams. Of course my conviction about this is not based on our Performance against Poland alone

Messi has been ruled out of Argentina vs Spain friendly.
Let's see what happens

herroyalcutenes:
The super eagles definitely need/deserve better scouting what are Elderson, Omeruo, Stephen Eze, doing in a friendly 2 months to the world cup?

In a country with a population of over 170million. Is that the best we can offer? What a shame? Kelechi and Iwobi should have started from the bench. This is the time to invite and test more players did nigerian's know Ebuehi or Idowu were good enough unit they were invited and tested.

One would expect Emmanuel Bonaventure Dennis (WF, CF),Cyriel Dessers (WF , CF) , Derik Osede (DC), K.Otigba (DC), Fanendo Adi (CF, ST), Azubuike Okechukwu (AM, MC), Sunday Stephen (DM, MC) (whom benched iniesta at spain U19, U20, U21), Ryan Sanusi and of course the (king) Simon Kalu (AM, WF).

Thank God Mikel Agu was not invited his intercepts are so low and man marking so poor, for a centeral or defending midfilder. Rohr wants to play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, but he has never invited a center forward (CF). If he takes this squad to the world cup Nigeria would be disgraced.

If Olarenwaju Kayode was continually called up to the Super Eagles without having a single shot on target then Fanendo Adi (Adi was signed permanently by the Portland Timbers on 23 June 2014. Where he became the club's fourth ever Designated Player) (Google Designated Player if you do not know the meaning) would do better.

Even Anthony Nwakeme would do better, if given more call-ups, He is so good at the Europa League.

Or is it Ighalo that would lead Nigeria to the Quarterfinal? Impossible.

Remember in 2014 Nigeria was the lowest scoring team in qualifying, and scoring was a big problem at the world cup. That is likely to repeat itself.

The midfield and the attack (NO.9) are Super Eagle's weakest links.

Football is about what you can offer presently and not on your past exploit. Sunday Stephen Obayan is not SE standard at present.
Let me not even mention Osede
So who should have benched Iheanacho and Iwobi?. I hope you know that we have just about 3 months to WC so it will be foolhardy to be testing "170 million Nigerians" for a 23-man WC squad as you suggested.
Okechukwu, Dessers and Sanusi can wait till after the WC. We've got no time

Kenneth Otigba currently on for Hungary as they trail Kazakhstan by two goals. Game is in 19th minute.

Humility017:
good for him...we wish him well.

Guyz on this thread are not even talking about the snub because we have young capable fullbacks and we've got someone like Deji-Beyreuther coming up. And when you consider that fullbacks might still come up through the U-20 and U-17, one will realize that Nigeria is not desperate to have Jordan. At least we have tried to convince him ( even promising him a slot in our WC squad). We can only wish him all the best

AllforJesus7:
I keep re-watching the NIG vs ARG.
The false 9 system was brilliant.
Either of the trio; mikel, nacho and iwobi kept popping in the no. 9 position at random and argentina did not know which danger man to mark.
Iwobi from the wings sneaked in and put in two behind them.
It was magical.

Yes. It's like a doctor's daily prescription which I watch daily. Iheanacho could do better with his passing eventhough he was fantastic on the night. By and large, it was a sweet victory

forgiveness:
When I dey talk for here people think say I dey talk rubbish. Now, we are hearing from the horses mouth that the 90s set no dey d same level with dis set. They were better than this set but some people here wan blind eyes with mago mago sentiment. Here we are, Rohr has confirmed it.

The second bolded is what I don dey hammer since but people here are too sentimental to see we don't have a striker in Kelechi Iheanacho and Ighalo(though I think he's).

You have a point but I think he was trying to downplay the expectation and cautious about going overboard regarding the SE Performance at the WC

According to thenff.com, Victor Moses is part of the 22 players in camp

Eagles begin training as 22 players hit camp




The Super Eagles’ Radisson Blu Hotel camp in Wroclaw has become a beehive of activities following the arrival of 22 players and the beginning of training sessions on Tuesday.



Technical and backroom staff, alongside six players, opened the camp on Monday, but the facility exploded into life with the arrival of goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, defenders Kenneth Omeruo, Elderson Echiejile, Stephen Eze, Abdullahi Shehu and Chidozie Awaziem, midfielders Joel Obi, John Ogu, Ogenyi Onazi, Uche Agbo and Wilfred Ndidi, and forwards Ahmed Musa, Moses Simon, Odion Ighalo, Kelechi Iheanacho and Victor Moses on Tuesday.



Nigeria –based goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa and South Africa –based Daniel Akpeyi are expected on Wednesday.



Skipper Mikel John Obi is unlikely to make it to Wroclaw as he has been working hard at renewing his work permit in China, where he plays for Tianjin Teda. Team Administrator Dayo Enebi Achor told thenff.com on Tuesday: “We all had been hoping that the renewal would come in good time for him to fly to Poland. As it is now, it is not likely that he would make the trip.”



Midfield Trojan Oghenekaro Etebo is injured, and Egypt –based Junior Ajayi, who was unable to secure visa into Poland, will fly directly to London for Tuesday’s clash with Serbia at The Hive, Canons Park.



The team trained twice on Tuesday, with the same schedule for Wednesday, before Thursday’s training at match time inside the Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw. The match kicks off at 8.45pm (Nigeria and Poland are on same time zone) on Friday.



Friday’s showdown inside the 43,000 –capacity stadium formally opens the first phase of the Super Eagles’ preparation for the 21stFIFA World Cup finals, taking place in the Russian Federation 14th June – 15th July this year.



After Tuesday’s game with Serbia in London, the three-time African champions will play a Send –Forth match against the Democratic Republic of Congo in Nigeria, before flying back to London for a prestige clash England’s Three Lions at Wembley on 2nd June.



Four days later, they come up against the Czech Republic at their final training camp in Austria, and another friendly game is on the cards before the squad jets out to the World Cup finals on 11th June.



Nigeria’s team base camp at the 21st FIFA World Cup finals is located in Yessentuki, Stavropol territory in the southern region of the Russian Federation.
