Chiellini!!!

Earthquake1:
Why is Chiellini's jersey dirty and sweaty while Ekong's own is neat?

You would think it's Chiellini that faced Christiano Ronaldo

komekn:
In my experience training with the first team is indicative not conclusive sometimes you ate there to make up numbers.

It's getting selected to play for the first team that matters not training. Many players have trained and been released same season.

It's really not that deep.

forgiveness:
It's true. Even Iwobi said Arsenal doubted his ability and wanted to release him not just once. The SE call was a game changer.

Wenger said this after he played for Nigeria in two friendlies and after he saw that he performed well for us. It was during that period Arsenal made him signed a contract.

SE call was the game changer.

edi287:
That's not true. Wenger rated him. He stopped him from going on loan the season he broke out. This was before Rio.

forgiveness:
Iwobi was an academy player before he played for the SE. It was after he played for us Arsenal decided to renew his contract. Even Wenger confirmed he never thought Iwobi will make it.

I repeat, without SE nobody go hear am.

gamaliel9:
Hugely on point. Our cadet players should stop signing for English clubs that send them on loan. But i also think that sending them on loan MOSTLY because of low productivity....Iheanacho was sold outrightly...i know i used Nacho..Mikel had played in Sweden or Norway before going to England...No Nigeria has moved from Nigeria league or academy STRAIGHT to first team of a premiership club except him...Evidently Belgium is far better for young Nigerian players than any other league in the world. Yes. Check out the history From Keshi...Amokachi...Etim Esim..Cele Babayaro.....Onyekuru,Kalu...etc

Danielnino00:
Iheanacho and Etebo look like they can play AMF not that they can really play it. They failed woefully the few times they were deployed there...

Icon79:
You cannot tell me that Ebere Eze is substantially better than any one who was invited. The keyword being "substantially better". Hence, for most people on here to be wailing about his non-invite as if Rohr has committed an abominable act to me is nothing more than the rantings of idle minds. No offence

I was one of the first person here to call for Ebere Eze's consideration, but I will not lose sleep over his non-invite because the players invited merit their invite.


O pari

EEGA:
Iheanacho can play as AM just like he did against Seychelles.

Joebie:
Faulty generalization. All of a sudden every player with dual nationality have become Tammy.

Icon79:
Nigerians are some of the most disgusting human beings on the planet, earth. Once a player isn't invited, he would suddenly become the second coming of Messi. I tell you, if Kelechi Nwakali wasn't invited the wailers would be wailing about his non-invite.

Listen, if Ebere Eze wants to play for England, let him freaking go and let the door not hit him on the way out. We ain't gonna miss him. We've already seen how that (playing for England) is working for Tammy Abraham. BS upon BS


O pari

Icon4s:
When u guys say "we don't have a natural AM" or " We don't have a single AM" it begs me to ask the question "what is Iwobi"?

Taliban:
How is the Qarabag No 7 doing, Innocent Emeghara. isn't he Nigerian too? As no one has talked about him

safarigirl:
Rocha's tries to impose his son-in-law in IMO state, look at how he has been disgraced

Peter Obi tried to play godfather in Anambra, dem shift am comot

But Tinubu dey carry Lagos state play bet9ja.


Some people allow others choose their leaders, others realise that one man cannot lord over millions. When no be say he be God. Background determines what is viewed as normal and what is abhorred.

forgiveness:
Scotland coach is not like England coach. The last time I heard him speak about players eligible to play for Scotland, he made it clear that he will never go after any who has double mind to play for either for Scotland or other countries.

Besides, Eze heart and soul is to play for Nigeria though anything can change man pikin heart hence I concur he must be called now. It is frustrating to see Rohr ignore him and call Semi Ajayi and Etebor in the same league.

forgiveness:
I don't think he really knows what he is doing. If he does, how can he live out Eze who is out performing Etebor in the same championship league?

Sentiments is all I see in his selection many times.

NFF on course to reach self-funding goal - Pinnick
By Colin Udoh, West Africa Editor, KweséESPN

NFF President Amaju Pinnick says the Nigerian federation is on course to become completely self-funding by the end of his second term in office after achieving 65-percent private sector funding.
Pinnick, who was re-elected for a second term last week, says the focus of the coming years will be to achieve full self-sufficiency for the NFF.

"Thanks to our many sponsors and partners, we have achieved 65-percent private sector funding status," Pinnick told KweséESPN.
"Football has a tremendous capacity to be self-sustaining and even contribute significantly to the national GDP," he added. "That is the situation we are targeting at the moment.
"Our target is a hundred percent."

The progress represents a remarkable achievement for the NFF, and is testament to the success of Pinnick's aggressive commercial drive.

During his tenure, he's raked in sponsors like Aiteo, Coca Cola, Zenith Bank, Nigeria Breweries, NIKE, Cadbury, WAPIC Insurance, Emzor Pharmaceuticals, TGI, 1XBet, Peak Milk and Payporte.

Of the NFF's N6,382,500,310 budget for 2018, only N1,148,646,974 was appropriated in the 2018 federal budget, leaving a shortfall of well over N5 billion for Pinnick's administration.
The sixty-five percent of the total budget discussed by Pinnick amounts to about N4 billion.

NFF sources tell KweséESPN that the federation will now resume pursuit of new sponsorship deals which were stalled by the crisis in the federation.
"We had some deals, including one from a major telecommunications firm that was set to be signed after the World Cup, but had to be put on hold because of the crisis," said the source.

A new, improved contract with equipment manufacturer Nike is also said to be on the cards, especially after the phenomenal global success of the Super Eagles' 2018 World Cup kit.

Pinnick also recently engaged two of Nigeria's top billionaires - Alike Dangote and Femi Otedola - with an invitation to the FIFA Best Awards in London earlier this week, with talks about potential investment in the federation progressing well.

Rohr no dey think at all at all. No replacement for Joel. I can't understand.

safarigirl:
so, Iwobi can play that role, but you put Etebo there.
