And i think that we should expect to concede at least two goals.

I agree with Sir Mujtahida on this one. You defend too much, sooner or later that brick wall will crumble (not just fall).

If we can concede against Congo, we sure as hell will concede against Croatia and Argentina. Even Iceland will score.

This is world cup and prolly Lionel Messi's last. He sure as hell will morph into a beast. Can we keep the likes of Modric, Rakitic, Kovacic, Mandzukic at bay for 90 mins?

Do you think other coaches aren't noting our very predictable tactics and our counter-attacking play?

Okay, say we get a chance from a counter-attack, are our strikers clinical or consistent enough to finish off?

If our opponents decide to "Ramos" Mikel and Matuidi" Moses, won't our game-plan be undone?

Are we not tired of exiting group stages or second rounds?

What I know is that should these guys surprise us in Russia and perform beyond expectations, i will be the first persons to shout and declare in my house. But should they exit group stage, Rohr would definitely resign or be sacked and 90% of our players wouldn''t smeel the GWG again

Make we hear word. This Croatia team is no way near the Spanish team of 98. But what happened after 90mins.
Believe it or not, there are elements that work together in any football match, if they re against you, bro you are finished. Ask Argentina in 1990, vs Cmr, Ask Spain in 98 vs Ngr, Ask France 2002 vs Senegal.
Stars don't win games, its team work.

Joebie:
Two experimental (?) formations for England friendly

Balogun is not comfortable on d left side. Move him to d right, Awaziem to d left

forgiveness:
Not based on merit again! I thought people claimed that Rohr choosed Simy because his recent stats was in the Seria A?

I am confused.

Have been sounding like a broken kettle.
Kayode is not in the team & will never be there. You are not d coach, please can we have some peace. Nepotism here bribery there. U no dey tire!!! These ur ranting will never change anything. Owobikiri was a better player than Yekini, but he never made it in SE heaven didn't fall.
U can as well pray for the team to fail OK.
Continues sipping my burukutu.

safarigirl:
Some optimistic view point.

Nigeria progressed from group stage in 1994 and 1998 respectively,

Nigeria once again progressed from group stage in 2014....so, we will most likely progress to the KO Rounds again in 2018.

94-14, 98-18

See as I dey give myself hope

History has a way of repeating itself.

Kog45:
Likely final list after England match barely any injury.

I doubt if John Ogu will not be in the list. Agu & Joel, one will miss out.

Better go & apologize to GEJ.

Joebie:
Sad

But apart from V moses the other crafty winger in d team is S moses. Musa doesn't possess that craft of wriggling out from tight spaces. Unfortunately, his like for like, Samuel Kalu or Onyekuru were not invited. But that's world cup for you. Freak injuries happening here & there. 98 was Jero shakokpe & Ike shorunmu and just like that

KK50:
FIFA should allow Nigeria to go with 30 players. Nigeria should be allowed to field 12 men against Croatia and Argentina but that wont stop the massacre that will happen.

Can Mikel and any of those wack midfielders match Modric and Rakitic in the midfield? Can your full backs stop Perisic? Can your central defenders stop Manzukic?

Nigeria dont know what awaits them in Russia. You people have been mouthing off against England. On 2nd of june, you arrogant ignoramuses will be shut up.

Rashford, Sterling and Kane will eat you for dinner.

SE is my team, Nigeria is my country for now. I will not wish bad to my team. But calm down bro. The same scenario has happened in 98. Spain came with 32 matches without a loss. But Nigeria silenced the whole world in the 1st game.
When all d elements work in ur favour, things do happen.
I will personally not judge the team with England friendly. If i were to b the coach, ill deplete the MF to see how d defence will cope under pressure They should play safe for me & keep the best for last.
16th no far again.

ROHRS 25 MAN LIST IS OUT.
TRIVIA QUESTION?
1) Like to like, who do you think should not be in the list & mention who the replacement should be with verifiable facts.
Note: it doesn't matter if the person was in the initial 30 man list or not.

Time starts now.

Martz101:
nwakali collect your land??

Ask him again. He even mentioned that their is an active Nigerian Gk in 1st div in Europe..
The person no get name. I don hear Nwokolor, I don hear Ayotunde of Rijeka, all na wash. This season is zero for them, so which GK be that.

Joebie:
There is nothing wrong with him consulting with them.. But questions need to be asked when there are questionable events. Nigeria has not changed overnight, and I'm not expecting that to happen.. But we still have to say it as it is.

I already asked the question, on the back of what performance was K. Nwakali included in the 35 man list? He is a great player no doubt

2 or more similar players to every position right. Question is, who is closest to Mikel & let me say iwobi in terms of ball movement, positioning, passing range etc.
I really don't think that anyone will lay a claim that he has truly watched Kelechi 90 mins week in week out in his club. Apart from oh he is not making the team story. We really don't know why he was not making the team. Mikel was on the bench for half a season in Chelsea, but was he a bad player, hell no. In comparison also in d mix is Ajagun. I have watched him play, he is not different to iwobi, one touch passing, but he doesn't know the dark art of drawing fouls to calm d game.
Truth still remains that its 23 players, and every country has the same problem. From France to England to Germany and Argentina. This is our team, let's support them.

tbaba1234:
The 4 dropped men.

I have no comment, they are actually the lowest in the ranking. I know some will say Ajiboy is better than this person or that person by sticking their finger in the air.
Truth, in GWG he is ranked lowest.
After World cup. Akpeyi will quit the scene, that will be his opportunity to stake his claim, but ha, Alampasu, Osigwe, Okoye, & Akpan Udoh are all waiting on d wings.

Oyigbo market live pictures.
Today is Wednesday, popular Oil mill market in Port Harcourt, am on my way, to see what's gwan

Ugoochukwu:
No other mainstream news outlet is reporting this.
How true could it be?

Simply put, they want traffic to their site.

tbaba1234:
Ebuehi hardly put a foot wrong. Some of the analysis makes you wonder.

Ebuehi is quicker off d blocks. It gives him a very big advantage over quick wingers. Shehu doesn't have it, more so shehus positioning is always suspect. Sorry people will attack me, but its d truth. I pray he plays against England. Then we will have a clearer view.

safarigirl:
what is Martins? Injured Martins? Is that who Rohr should have given a chance?

Are you serious? Can you say that if Martins was fit, Rohr wouldn't have called him up same way he called up Simy and Lokosa as reward for good performance?

You too dey yarn opata

SAVAGE.

Person say him wan siddon for him house. Another dey one corner dey para why him wan Sidon for house.
I dey confused oh. Allow them to live their life naa. It should not be anyone's business. I will be concerned if my way will be blocked. But hey Army & police should be deployed to all flash points. But thinking of it, these guys will be in their homes. But Someone should tell Umahi to provide buses for d workers cos they may not see vehicles that will convey them to work.

Uzoho don try abeg. Make another keeper come in.

This pitch is terrible.. Abeg guys should play safe

asha80:
that is my fear of football going forward now..komken said something recently and i think he is right..he said football is gradually becoming BORINGLY EFFICIENT.

Gradually its tilting to kick & follow. It used to be English pattern of football those days. No skill, no dribbling, just trap & pass to the next man. Only heaven knows, before then I must have switched my hobby to rugby.

So EFCC check everything, dem no see where Obj steal money. Naija I hail oh. The fear of Obj or what??

My advice is GOTv, you know why, no matter how d weather is, the pictures will not scramble. Am supposed to recharge my DSTV tomorrow but hell no, I'll use the quid to get Gotv. Na win win.

In other news. Lateef Omidji has confirmed the invitation for the under 15 championship from Nigeria. He said it will be an honour to rep Naija in the championship which will commence from July.

mazimee:
The Sun was too much for some of us to handle and the result was what happened on this thread today . Hopefully, dem go dey alright when they sleep and wake up tomorrow morning.

My broda. The kind of name calling & insults am seeing in this forum can make someone to puke. Over what self. SE players... God have mercy.. This forum has turned to another kickoffnigera.com before it went off air. All these players we are mentioning here & there may not really add anything different.
Rohr & his backroom staff has made their choice .It is our team, let's support them. Even if all these players were added to the roaster. People will still complain. I don tire oh. World cup no dey finish umuibe.

Officially I have been informed that there are new entrants to this forum since the Athletico game.

Please since I have not developed a spambot that can automatically delete any comment with insults & name calling, please the forumites are adviced as a matter of principle to ignore them. Let's try to avoid their negative energy. Tankio.

tbaba1234:
Brazil of 1982 played beautiful football but they lost to pragmatism. Italy played smart and knocked them out.

Defence was not part of their strategy. They just believed they will outscore every team.

kenzysmith:
Una feel say italy na mumu wey them dey carry buffon wey done reach 41 years for goal, in the goalkeeping unit experience matters a lot wordcup is not a place to try a novice 19 year old in goal, is not even playing for deportivo first team but team B ,even eyaeama that went to the world cup as a young lad was under the costody of ike shoromu a we still need vincent in that team a word is enough for the wise, we have a strong team but the goalkeepers we re taking to the world cup will be our doom Make them go play the. 3 games come back make we rest, please when coming back to nigeria remember to bring messi jersey for us to celebrate with

Enyeama has not kicked a ball for a full season, is he the one u want to take to world cup. Where will he get his fitness from?.
It is where we found ourselves, and we have to make do with what we have unless we want another France 98 episode.

somehow:
He is in camp already, maybe when he ends up in Russia, then and then will some of us understand why the coach keeps calling him. the coaching crew are the closest to these players, they know what they want and will decide. I only assumed just as some of us have done here so what i say or what some of us say here remains our opinions.

He can play in a 3 man defense is an assumption from me and an opinion.

Except you're saying the coaching crew are all fools for always inviting Echiejile and even used him all through the qualifiers except the last match, they must be seeing what they want in him.

Dunno!! Echiejile this, echiejile that. For real, how many goals did we conceed thru his position throughout the qualifiers How many. We re so glued on echiejile issue. But the real problem is RB Shehu, simple reason, he is not quick & most times positions wrongly when defending. Let's keep masturbating on echiejile issue. It was like oh bassagog will eat echiejile raw. Last last he didn't see his period against elderson. Echiejile is a big game player, you can take it to the bank & he will be on the plane to Russia.

His speed is always his Achilles heel. If he can make it up with good positioning, he will be ok

FriendNG:
Shut up hypocrite which peace. You occupy people land, been kiling them for 70 years and you want peace to be discussed. For how many years will UN be talking peace with that useless country.

History is good. We really need to study history. We will be in a better position to comment on historical issues and not hearsays. I have nothing to say again.
