the Iheanacho worship is too much.

If we are worshipping Iheanacho like this, what would have happened if we had Salah or Mane?

We would have begged Okorocha to erect a statue for them in Imo state and Abuja

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Sources reaching me is that NACHO is grossly over age, hence his regressing, and eventually dropped from the Afcon square


oya oga ANDREW444 d age cheat catcher

oga CHRISKEL awon capentary crew

and averaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggeeeeeeeee bear palour crew

make una come confirm an oo,

cos the sauce dey verrrrryyyy hhhhoooottttt

How authentic is the source?

elyte89:
Ur analogy of rohr system not favoring nacho to me is so myopic,normally when one expresses his point with gud english sentences, one will sound intelligent ,but na lie...safari gave a point of him scoring 10goals under rohr,den it was favourable,because he's no longer scoring,rohr system is no longer favourable

He has played under 3different managers,pep,puel and now Rodgers...yet to u d system is not offensive enuf


Oga make we hear word,u re not plausible with ur points,it's getting absurd,is he d only player in d team


Its like saying a student who studied in University of Ibadan came out with third class,blaming d system for d failure,he took a new undergraduate course again in anoda african university,still came out with third class,tried another university in europe again,came out with third class again,is it d system u will still blame or d student?


Maybe till when nacho plays in 7different clubs/leagues, he will get d right system

This fact alone kills any argument. How can you play under three different managers and you can't perform well? Then the problem is with the player

andrew444:
Madam it seems you are concerned about the goal he didn't score against mancity ?

So if he scored against mancity he has had a nice season and he will go to afcon abi just because he help Liverpool win the league ?

Either kelechi scored against mancity or not it can't change the fact that he has been bad this season and he doesn't deserve afcon spot ,no need for all this your long talk of not scoring against city ,I can see why you are angry with him it's because of that goal

My naija people I hail una o ,so a goal against mancity will send a player to afcon ? And it will make it a better season by making it 2 goals in 30 games ?

She didn't say that he will surely have gone to AFCON had he scored, she said it could have given him a chance

safarigirl:
If you see up to 3 goals in this game, dem try be that.

You imply that the defenders are poor, hence the goals. Nigerian defenders are very good, so, I am not expecting plenty goals in our net, neither do I expect Senegal to open net for us. So, anybody who expects plenty goals should get ready for disappointment

I agree with you on this. Both sides have good defenders and I don't see either ides as consistently high scoring sides

'Nigeria Will Probably Give Us A Hard Time' - France Coach Ahead Of Last Group Game

France coach Corinne Diacre expects a difficult game when they face Nigeria in their final Group A match at the Roazhon Park, Rennes on Monday, June 17.

The hosts maintained their one hundred percent record at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup this evening, beating Norway 2-1 thanks to Eugenie Le Sommer's game-winner from the spot 18 minutes from time.

Nigeria brightened their chances of making it to the knockout rounds following their 2-0 win against South Korea in
Grenoble.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Diacre said : ''As far as Nigeria team is concerned, I'm just looking at one match after another so I haven't thought yet about anything concrete on Nigeria.

''I am going to relax, think about it tomorrow, then we will reflect on things - what we can do, who may stay on the bench because we did have some injuries and let them recover.

''We are going to have to think about this long and hard''.

She added : ''Norway gave us a hard time, Nigeria will probably do the same. For the time being, now we are just going to stay put and fight hard to win that match against Nigeria''.

The Super Falcons need at least a draw against Les Bleues to be certain of progressing to the last sixteen.

Moses Is A Very High Quality Player' - Fenerbahce Aim To Keep Chelsea Winger Next

Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce are aiming to keep former Nigeria international Victor Moses at the club next season amid speculation linking him with a summer move to Inter Milan.

The winger joined the Yellow Canaries on a one-and-a-half-year loan deal in the January transfer window and it is thought that Chelsea can exercise a recall option on the player to end his loan spell before expiration.

It is claimed that Fenerbahce manager Ersun Yanal has held talks with Director of Football, Damien Comolli and a decision was made to retain Moses.

''Moses is a very high quality player. I believe he will be much more useful next season. What should be done to stay must be done,'' said Yanal, according to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet.

It was widely believed that Moses's career at Chelsea was over following the arrival of Maurizio Sarri in July 2018 but his situation could change, with the Italian linked with a return to his homeland as coach of Juventus and The Blues slapped with a two-window transfer ban for signing underage players.

Last season, the Nigerian scored 4 goals in 16 appearances for Fenerbahce.

Five Things To Expect From Super Eagles Friendly Against Senegal

he Super Eagles will play a friendly match against the Teranga Lions of Senegal on Sunday as part of their preparations for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The encounter is expected to be an entertaining one based on the rivalry existing between both countries and the quality of players in both teams.

What should Nigerians expect during and after the game? Here are top five things to look out for.

1. Plenty Goals

The encounter is expected to witness many goals from both sides based on current form. Each of the strikers in Rohr's final squad scored an impressive number of goals for their respective clubs, while, Senegal strikers also did the same throughout the season.

Judging by the strikers' deadly form, the two goalies are expected to find the ball in their net on many occasions.

2. High Physical Game

Historically, all matches between two West African countries are always accompanied by hard tackles, and show of strength and agility.

Though both sides will be very cautious with their tackles on Saturday, the encounter is set to be a very physical one.

3. Great Attacking Moves From Both Sides

Senegal and Nigeria are known for their attacking style of play, hence, the supporters will be treated to an highly entertaining game.

Sadio Mane's high converting rate and Ismaila Sarr's pace will be massively put to test by coach Aliou Cisse while Gernot Rohr will want to see more from Samuel Chukwueze and Paul Onuachu.

4. Strong Starting Lineup

This is the last preparatory match for the Super Eagles before their AFCON opener against Burundi, therefore, Rohr is expected to name a strong team.

Ekong and Musa, who started from the bench against Zimbabwe last weekend, are expected to be in the starting lineup.

5. Less Substitutions From Gernot Rohr

This game is organized to help Rohr access the fitness level of his players, and to help boost the chemistry between his players ahead of Burundi's challenge.

We should expect less substitutions from the gaffer who will want to see if some players can complete a game.

So what do you guys think? I know its just a friendly but what's your predicted scoreline?

M7even:
There was so much pressure on our defense against Korea. It's understandable why they were later committing those errors. Against France, they should limit those pressure by playing them at the midfield. France expects that we would play defensive and if we take the bait, they would punish as they are more clinical than the Koreans.
The coach need devise a strategy of playing most of the game in the midfield. When the chances open up and we are lucky, we might hold a surprise victory.

Exactly brother. You got it

I hinted at this in an earlier post that sitting back to defend would surely backfire and we need to learn to hold the ball in the midfield and look for counter-attacking opportunities. The french team is beatable but I wonder if we can learn to be more possessive of the ball when we are already at the WC. I wish the girls the very best

BascoVanVeli:
This will be Mikel's last AFCON. Doesn't fancy being a coach.

Wouldn't really blame the dude for that

Icon4s:
I don't think the like for Iheanacho is tribally rooted. Some of Iheanacho's strong lovers right from time are not Igbos: notefully : TheGoodJoe, Bascovanvelli, Humility, Joebie, Tbaba1234, Joseph1034 among other. So there is no basis for you to want to link the call for Iheanacho to tribalism.

And please keep that tribalism talk away.

This cannot be over-emphasized

A lot of monikers here result to tribalism accusations when they can no longer argue intelligently.

This is the SE thread and not a politics thread

Surprising to see Brazil loose to the Aussies.

However, the Aussies did play well against Italy despite the loss.

Now over to you Super Falcons, a draw against should be enough but please play with the mentality of winners.

Best of luck

andrew444:
Taking 3 strikers to a competition is very very good

Belgium took 3 strikers to the world cup and they are also loaded with wingers

Are you judging onauchu by just a game? if iheanacho made it to the afcon then its monkey dey work and baboon dey chop so you want him to come from no where and proove him self in a friendly then you will use that opportunity to take him, if so then isaac success should also be in afcon

You cant just have a bad form for club side and work in straight to the national team when there are others strikers who did well.

I couldn't have said it better.

Some of us tend to forget so soon how the same onuachu was touted after his superb strike against Egypt that gave us the win. As for me, I'll wait until he plays at the AFCON to judge him

Truidstar:
On the Super Falcons, that young goal keeper and a relatively stable defence might be the reason we might hold France to a stalemate. Make we no follow France argue midfield, defence and route one to Oshaola should do the trick.

I agree with you somewhat but you see if the midfield collapses, the defence is exposed and should the defence come under continuous pressure, I don't think they will hold for 90mins.

A counter attacking style with 2 DMs may do the trick but we would need to take our chances when they come

Humility017:
yeah sure...
let's hope everything pangs well....
going with like kind of strikers where you will likely play
one at a time is like a waste of space...

i am not okay with PAUL...he cant even jump to head
Even as useless as Agali was when it comes to foot work
but on the air he was a beast

Even I am not okay with his last performance but let us give him the benefit of doubt. You know why?

Because they might have been playing to avoid last minute injuries that may rule them out of contention. I know it sounds like I'm giving them excuses but let's see what they have to offer at the tournament proper first.

Humility017:
you see....... and the problem we have been having with our midfield in time past is not having the link between midfield and attack...

nacho would serve in that role conveniently all Rohr needs do is to have a talk with him and engage him in special training drills
to serve in that role... he still have the mojo in him, he played there years ago

Well, you have a point but since Rohr as the coach dropped him, there must have been strong reasons. Remember, he was invited despite his poor form.

However, we should just make do with what we have. Abi how you take see am bros?

Humility017:
if ROHR will be settling for mikel ndidi and iwobi in the midfield. .dropping nacho was a poor tactical decision because going by the above nacho is one player amongst the strikers that can play as 10/8/9 he can always come in for iwobi
Paul still a suspect to me Tijani kind of a player

Bros, I'm not trying to impugn on your opinion built can you name match in the last 1.5-2 yes where Nacho functioned very effectively in the no10 position?

Humility017:
who else can come in for Iwobi when he gets tired....
etebo/ogu can always come in for mikel and ndidi but for iwobi who else can?

Maybe a makeshift Chukwueze or.....I'm not sure sef. Mhen, we need to solve our AM crisis

andrew444:
William is now crap he had to make it because neymar was injured ,i will rather play a young David neres than Willian

Abeg finally finally Brazil get squad

Wetin naija wan emulate ,Na small small sha you no lie ,we go dey use wetin we get

I agree with you on this. In fact, that's what Tite (Brazil coach) will most likely do because fact is Willian is not like he used to be and Neres is an upcoming star on good form.

We have also come a long way; I mean the Super Eagles. Rohr has been doing a hood job so far bar the WC misadventure. I don't think there has ever been a time like this when majority of our players were linked to top clubs in Europe. But we can do better sha.

I really hope for an excellent outing in AFCON. It will boost the profile of our players too

Omo, see squad

When you have a squad without fabinho, Marcelo and where ederson cannot make first team. A squad that benches William at Chelsea, then you just know they must be getting some things right with their football. I hop Naija can try to emulate them and get there someday.

Curtisaxel7:
I'm very patriotic but even in my wildest fantasies I cannot see us scraping a win over that French team. Heck, if we get away with less than 3 goals that day we should consider ourselves lucky.

Gospel truth.

Watch some plastic fans with low IQ tag you hater.

Their comments are always laughable

BascoVanVeli:
They didn't have any chances to take. It could easily have been 5 if we had taken ours. We had the better chances.

Okay....

Danielnino00:
Actually bro there are minnows in Africa football. The problem is that some of these big boys on the continent with some big name players(Senegal CIV, et al) don't always play as a team.. Maybe it has to do with arrogance on the part of the players or poor coaching....

Egypt have never really boost of having the best squad in Africa(as per big name players) but they are the most successful..

I'm not expecting the likes of Madagascar, Burundi Namibia,etc to produce much upset at the AFCON .they will just be tough to beat...

You can say that again

BascoVanVeli:
2 goals better bah?

Go re-watch the match again. We were lucky. They didn't take their chances

Not going to argue this with you further

Earthquake2:
The core of that French team won Champions league 4 times in a row with Lyon

Women's football is straight forward, we better than you we beat you

My point exactly

Mhen, Korea was obviously the better team. Too many defensive errors on our part.

Just watched the Super Falcons highlights again

Our girls are piss-poor defensively. I observed a lot of errors that exposed the GK many times. A good coach would capitalize on it. Hope our coach observes it and does the needful

France makes it two

isan:
Nnadozie is more composed than akpeyi and uzoho

Too early to judge that bro.

Remember how it wa said that Uzoho was the long awaited answer to all our goal-keeping problems after just 45mins against Argentina.

We now know how it turned out

Humility017:
you said "you feel ighalo will miss it"?
c'mon someone that missed a seater at the last world cup will surely miss anything....

me just praying for Oshimen to steal the show in Egypt....

lol. Yes the WC miss was so painful and to think a Croatian striker scored something similar against Argentina.

However, it still doesn't matter who shines /steals the show. What matter is for them to win every game as a team.

isan:
[b]why are u sounding like u don't want the team to win ? did u placed a bet on Korea ? [/b]the better team won simple ...whatever the team has equalled your darling super eagle performance at last year world cup you at least respect them for that

Oga, if you understood him, you will know that he said we were lucy to grab the 3 points. Sometimes in football, luck is always on the winning side but you can't ride on it for long else you will be shooting yourself on the foot.

He only pointed out some flaws which may expose us against France should the coaching staff not work on them

Icon79:
KPOM!

And by the way, could someone tell me who made the decision to start Tochukwu Oluehi in the goal in our first march, when we had this goalkeeper! I mean, you don't even need to be a coach to realize that Nnaedozie is a much better goalkeeper. it isn't even a close call sef!


O pari

They said she is fine na

lol
