TheGoodJoe:
As long as Icardi and Wanda are happy, Argentina football stakeholders should bury the hatchet and make him a regular. It is for the benefit of the team. Personal issues should stay out of the game.

Sha, Icardi has mind.

There are rumors Wanda cheated on him recently with an Inter player.

somehow:
Realistically we can win the worldcup. who believe we could have won the Olympic gold in 1994? what does it take to win? a willing, capable and determined team!

I wouldn't go that far...

andrew444:
Yes Messi doesn't like him,not only did Wanda cheat in him with icardi,icardi Married Wanda and Wanda already had 3 kids with maxi Lopez,icardi even tattooed the face of maxi Lopez 3 kids on his hand,Wanda also have 2 kids with iCardi making her kids 5

Wanda is a hoe. Plain and simple.

Danielnino00:
Iwobi as AmF might b a bad idea oo.. he can't hold onto the ball for too long and he is poor defensively.

Good point. He has improved on the defensive side of the game this season. Besides I wouldn't want Mikel as a regista without Ndidi being one of the CM due to his energy.
I'd play a 4-3-3 with Mikel as Regista, Joel Obi and Ndidi/Onazi as CM and Iwobi as our wide playmaker.
Iwobi needs to show up this WC because he's our next source of creativity after Mikel. If Mikel gets marked out, it's all on him to show up.

Danielnino00:
I don't think Icardi has been invited to d Argentina national team for 3 years now... Rumour has it that Messi is behind it.. Cus Icardi dated Maxi Lopez's ex girlfriend...

Yeah. Messi and Maxi are good friends. Can't blame Icardi sha. Maxi Lopez cheated on Wada before Icardi came into the picture

andrew444:
I feel for icardi,it's just that issue with the wife of fellow argentine Maxi Lopez wife

Yeah I heard Messi doesn't like him because he's friends with Maxi Lopez.
Funny how rumors are flying of Wada cheating on him with an Inter player.

Sampaoli Set To Drop Red-Hot Icardi From Argentina World Cup Squad

Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli will drop Mauro Icardi from his Russia 2018 World Cup squad, according to a report on Fox Sports Argentina.

Icardi has been in a rich vein of form for his Italian club Inter Milan in the Serie A, scoring 18 goals in 22 league games.
But his poor relationship with the leaders of the Argentina Football Association, his teammates and coupled with his performance for the Albiceleste may have cost him a place in the squad, according to the report.
In November 2017, the former Sampdoria striker pulled out of Argentina’s international friendly against Nigeria in Krasnodar.
The 25-year-old has made four appearances for the senior national team of Argentina and is yet to score a goal.
Argentina will face Croatia, Iceland and Nigeria in Group D at the World Cup in Russia.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 106 days 5 hours 13 mins to go

Imagine having the luxury to leave out a striker as talented as Icardi. If we had Icardi, we'd easily make quarter finals. That guy is deadly. Needs to leave Inter

Well now we know Wengay is likely to be sacked come end of the season. What I don't like is these nonsense Thierry Henry rumors going around. That clown needs to stick to Sky sports.
Jardim, Allegri and Tuchel are my top 3 picks. Josh Kroenke better not do nonsense

Icon79:
Boshit! First of all, the position "UN Ambassador" is a non-paying position. It's a ceremonial job, the best you can get is all expenses paid travels and hotel rooms. Secondly, even if he has a paying job with the UN, I can tell you that he wouldn't be making more than $150k/year. My friend used to work for the UN and he was making only $120k/yr. The UN job is not like naija politicians where they steal you blind.

Again, I repeat my question, how did he make this money? For starters , is it even his house or is he just showing off? And if it's really his house, did he purchase it mortgage free? There are so many questions and loopholes to this story.


O pari

Preach!!! Some of these clowns just like to run their mouths anyhow. Even if he's the Nigerian Ambassador to the UN, no way is he earning more than 120k per annum(exaggerating sef).

Abbey2sam:
He's a UN youth ambassador

I think that's where he made most of his money

They don't get paid that much.

Mortgage things noni.

What is this nonsense I'm hearing some idiots talking about him working in the UN?? How much do you clowns know people in the UN earn?? If he is a goodwill ambassador, he isn't earning anything($1 in fact). No "UN job" will get him more than 200k per anum (and that's me being generous).
Let's just hope he is earning legit money. Simple as that.

nothing in that pic confirms this though

Mujtahida:
I agree without hesitation.

Ratello:
Let me help you a bit, are you aware that Obasanjo was also involved in the Haliburton Scandal yet he is walking around free and even visits US at will? There is one thing that we need to prove someone is guilty or innocent and it is called "evidence" and keep wondering why you can't supply it.

Oh so you're indirectly confirming he is corrupt?? And have you provided "evidence" to prove he is innocent?

Ratello:
PTF? Issue with US Senator? And he is walking free? Are you alright at all? I want you to give me something I can relate to and here you are with your unfounded claims on Atiku.

When last did he go to America?? His lame excuse is they haven't given him a visa. He's walking free because naija is a messed up country. Why is IBB walking free?? I bet you think he's a saint too right?

Ratello:
You must be high on weed to assume Atiku is a thief when you can't prove it. (Acts of Apostles 25:7)

PTF, the issue with the US Senator are all the figment of our imagination abi?? Only a fool would want Atiku as president. He is better than Buhari but that isn't saying much.

Blue3k:
Lol what is this nonnsense going to do. They would so better protesting to rheir state reps.

Ratello:
What is it with you folks shouting Atiku is a bug thief when you can't even give us empirical evidences to back up your wild claims just because Obasanjo said so? You guys are pathetic on this Atiku issue for God's sake.

You must be deluded if you think Atiku isn't a thief.

This guy is crazy. Ribadu, Donald Duke, Dankwambo hell if it means going to Kano state to beg Emir Sanusi for one week to run, I'll do it. Not to mention the likes of Shettima, Kingsley Moghalu heck even Sule Lamido are preferable to Buhari. I'd put Atiku but he is a big thief.
Buhari has to leave. Simple as that. The two things Buhari was voted in for( anti corruption and security), he has massively flopped at it. Screw Buhari abeg!!

Looks like she had a boob job.

Sagamite:
What moronic junk!

Teachers being the line of defence against mass shootings?

What utter idiotic junk!

First of all, there is already a report of a qualified police officer at the school who sought safety for himself first instead of engaging in a gunfight. Is it teachers you think would then put their lives at risk when a bust of automatics is ringing out from 1 or 2 individuals? How many people would have been killed before they come out?

Secondly, lets even state that these teachers are some fcking Rambos who take delight in taking part in Die Hard 8, how effective do you think they would be?

According to statistical data, even police officers who fire their firearm during duty at a non-firing target have less than 35% hit rate.

Talkless of those that are firing their firearm on duty in a gunfight who have about 18% hit rate.

www.nytimes.com/2007/12/09/weekinreview/09baker.html

https://www.myajc.com/blog/get-schooled/gunfights-trained-officers-have-percent-hit-rate-yet-want-arm-teachers/mDBlhDtV6Na4wJVpeu58cM/

So how do you expect teachers to be more effective in shooting than those that probably use it every month and are more used to being shot at?



Get it in your head that gun control in the US does not even necessarily mean "don't have any guns". The first frontier is "don't have a gun designed for mass shooting/warfare".



Don't compare an advanced nation to a 8th world nation. That is moronic.

Compare it with Europe.



What an idiotic statement.

Chicago has border security in a country where guns are easily gotten?




And so?

That is an excuse for this stupidity?



What a purely idiotic statement.

Please tell us when in the last 100 years the US have ever come close to ever needing for the citizens to raise a gun against their government.

If there is ever a case of such a government, you think gun owners would be able to stop that government?

If they gave you a gun in Nigeria and you know your neighbours and many others have a gun too, you would have stepped up to fight the likes of Abacha?

What moronic nonsense are you chatting?

You need to have a debate with Ben Shapiro

Think world club championship not sure though against Barcelona... If am right

Nah it was a friendly against inter. One of my first memories in football. R9 was just coming back from injury in that game.

Allegations Of Age Cheats Trails Recently Released List Of Nigeria U20 Players

The list of players called up to the Nigeria national Under-20 team has generated lot of debates with some players alleged to be beyond the age limit stipulated by FIFA for players at that level.

28 players were called up by coach of the team Paul Aigbogun for the start of preparations ahead of their first qualifiers game for the 2019 Africa U20 ‎Cup of Nations, which will be holding in Niger Republic.

The players were mainly picked from teams in the Nigeria Professional Football League with Nasarawa United having as many as three players in the list released for the start of camping on Sunday 25th of February 2018.

According to some ardent followers of the Nigeria Professional Football League, the list has players who have been around for over six seasons in the league, hence can’t be said to be below the age of 20.

Four players were specifically named and Owngoalnigeria.com is currently making checks on the claims to ascertain if at all they are true, and we will publish our findings in our subsequent reports.

http://owngoalnigeria.com/2018/02/23/allegations-of-age-cheats-trails-recently-released-list-of-nigeria-u20-players/

No way Eneji is U20. These guys need to stop this nonsense for once.

Kog45:
Yes the connection between Enyeama,Ejide and Aiyenugba was great.

The relationship between the trio started in Nigeria,Enyeama met Aiyenugba at Enyimba and the friendship kick off.Also Enyeama met Ejide in the national team prior to 2002 WC and their friendship blossom.

I remember Enyeama met Dele at Enyimba after he left Mobil pegasus.Dele was the first choice and in goal when Enyimba played Inter Milan in a friendly in Italy.

Dele had injury and Enyeama replaced him,fortunately for Enyeama he stood in for injured Dele in a match Fanny Amu was sent to watch to discover players for national team and he was highly impressed with Enyeama.

Enyeama got the call and made 2002 WC,after WC automatically he became Enyimba first choice, displaced Dele but Enyeama didn't forget Dele when he left for Isreal.

In Isreal after a season Enyeama moved to a better club in the same league but singlehandedly recommended Dele Aiyenugba to his former club without trial.This showed a great friendship between the two.

Enyeama and Aiyenugba were instrumental to Ejide moving to Isreal from Et du sahel cos of their friendship in national team and it must be noted that the trio were together in super eagles between 2002 -2012 until Dele lost out to Agbim.

The trio were well connected and the bond was damn great even when Enyeama lost to Ejide at 2008 Afcon the atmosphere in camp didn't changed with Vincent and Dele assisting and also when Siasia dropped Enyeama for Dele Aiyenugba,nothing happened.

Hope to see such great trio in future eagles may be Uzoho, Alampasu and Maduka.

Was it the friendly Enyimba lost 7-0??

Nigeria coach Rohr to stick with core squad for World Cup

Image captionGernot Rohr's Nigeria will face Argentina, Croatia and Iceland in Group D at Russia 2018

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has ruled out bringing in new players to bolster his squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The West Africans have been hit by a goalkeeping crisis; first choice Carl Ikeme was diagnosed with leukaemia, both Daniel Akpeyi and his replacement Ikechukwu Ezenwa have failed to impress while Francis Uzoho is inexperienced.

Rohr is not tempted to call up another goalkeeper, despite growing calls from a section of fans for him to recall the country's most capped player Vincent Enyeama from retirement.

"We have built a good environment for the team and I believe all the players gave everything to secure the ticket to Russia," Rohr told BBC Sport.

"It looks very impossible to get Carl Ikeme to play in Russia, but Ikechukwu Ezenwa showed in big matches so far that he can be in goal.

"The young boy Uzoho had a great game against Argentina so I've sent the goalkeeper trainer to continue to provide support for this boy in Spain.

"We are not limited as we also have other goalkeepers like Akpeyi, Ajiboye and Alampasu in the team, so I believe we are fine."

At the last tournament, Nigeria drafted in experienced Peter Odemwingie and Shola Ameobi, with the former scoring the only goal against debutants Bosnia-Herzegovina to give Nigeria their solitary victory in Brazil.

Many have cited a lack of experience in the current squad, but Rohr is confident he has the personnel to get the job done and will stick with his current group in Russia.

"You have to respect what the former players have done in the past but be careful that you don't try to bring them back because people think so," said Rohr.

"We have big experience in captain [John] Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and our left back [/b]Elderson who is now playing in Belgium.[b]

"If we feel the need to strengthen this squad we know what to do because for nearly two years now we've had a good atmosphere so far. [/b]Another good news is that the young striker in Wolfsburg [Victor] Osimhen is also playing now.[b]

"I will make the [provisional] squad based on this group and also give one of the CHAN boys a chance as well.

"We can't just keep bringing in player after player when you already have those who have proven that they can do the job," Rohr added.

The Super Eagles will be making a sixth appearance at the World Cup tournament in Russia wehere they will play Argentina, Iceland and Croatia in Group D.

The three-time African champions reached the round of 16 in 1994, 1998 and 2014 but exit the 2002 and 2010 tournaments in the group stages.

PurpleHouse:
Is it not the same Dele Ayenugba we almost crucified some years back after some woeful performance made us lose out on the Nations Cup (I think)?

What has now made him special overnight? My dear agents and selfish family, UZOHO is the real deal! We should trust him with the duty and groom him now that he needs the experience to become even greater than Enyeama... Yes! Dude got what it takes to be great!

UZOHO it is.
End of story!

Yeah he wasn't that impressive against Guinea back in 2011. But beggars can't be choosers. He's a good penalty kick stopper. We need to try him out and see

Shocker: Ex- Leicester Star Says Club Aren’t Using Wilfred Ndidi Rightly

Posted By: soccerasson: February 21, 2018In: Eagles WatchNo Comments

 Print 

Ex Leicester city star and pro license coach Gerry Taggart has hailed Leicester’s Nigerian Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi as an excellent player but not being played in his best role currently by the club

Gerry Taggart an ex Leicester, Man City and Bolton star was speaking on Leicester TVs Weekend review in which the panel were analyzing Leicester Citys game against Fleetwood town

“I thought he (Ndidi) was excellent”

“What he does now he complements the midfield player alongside him whether its Silva or Iborra he will complement him”

“And he keeps his game very simple and his recovery runs are fantastic, they really are”

“He is a player who is improving, understanding his role in the team and improving all the time”

“It’s how he reacts to situations and its fantastic and in that clip ( match against fleetwood ) he runs 30 40 yards back, a player goes into the challenge , misses the challenge and he is on hand to clean that up”

“He is a real box to box midfielder”

“What Wilfred will give you he will play of the other players he will be there in a supporting role and tell the other players if you need me I’m here to give you the support you need”

“And he will keep it simple”

“What he is doing now is he playing further up the pitch than he was doing earlier on in the season”

“He may have been asked to get on the ball in a deeper position”

“That is not his game. His game is to support the forward player and be an option if you need him”

“On his shots he has got that in his locker. We haven’t seen it in a while but he shot one and hit the target and the keeper had to pull off a decent save”

“He is an excellent box to box player , recovery runs and a support player for when the team are going forward”

From Rohr's comments, Enyeama and Alampasu are out of the world cup as a result of their inactivity.

Doesn't Alampasu play for the reserves??
