I'm scared we'll get a tough group. Look at Pot 2

Akpeyi's explanation for his brain fart yesterday

Kayode finally comes in. No Onyekuru I guess

Big 17!!!!!

Onyekuru should be coming on instead of Musa. Need to see how he'd combine with Iwobi. Need to see Kayode as well

Need Onyekuru to come on and rape their fullback with pace

OMANBALA1:
Ebuehi is a very technical player.

Smooth on the ball

Told you guys Ebuehi would be great as a wing back

Iheanacho is brimming with Confidence!! We need to see more of this

Brian Idowu!!! 3-2

Big 17!!!

Now we know Akpeyi and Ezenwa are not good enough to be first choice. Let's see what Uzoho can do.

goldfish80:
Minus his blunder, we don't have the right personnel to play this formation. This team desperately needs an outlet down the wings.
Kayode or Henry should have started.

Exactly. Mikel should be playing in midfield alongside Ndidi while Onyekuru plays as one of the attackers.

Damn we're losing already?? Someone tell me how our front 3 is playing??

Ebuehi would make a good wing back. I hope Rohr gives him a run out today. Our attacking options look underwhelming tbh. Mikel should've been tried as part of the midfield 2 while someone like Onyekuru takes his place upfront (assuming it's a 3-4-3).

I like Iceberg Slim, but this song is wack. What happened to the guy that beefed with MI a few years back?? This pop ish is almost nauseating

Nah I doubt this. Moronic as they are, IPOB wouldn't stoop this low...are they begging for death??

junnyjake:
So with the abundance of Naija songs available, you guys permitted Idowu to be singing Mario abi? Issorit.

SerVik:
He is in search of a goal, he doesn't need an extra man at the back. Maybe 3-4-3, but then again he wanted to accommodate 2 point men. What I don't understand is why he left belotti on the bench

Left Belotti and Insigne on the bench. The guy is a clown.

SerVik:
Watching the Italy versus Sweden game. Italy playing with 3 5 2.

Do we have the resources to play with 3 at the back?
Italy have been effective so far, the 3 defenders(chiellini, barzagli and bunocci) are very good with the ball on their feet. They have been creating chances right from the back. The wing backs(darmain and candreva) have also been decent.

Chairmen Don carry light. Mtcheew

Ventura na proper imbe. He should be playing 4-3-3 with the players they have.

Mujtahida:
The team is really a team. Bunch of jolly good fellows. I read ANS report of Argentinian legend Mario Kempes complaining that there's no camaraderie in their team. Aguero confirmed it in an oblique way when he said this “There are a lot of new players and it’s hard to get to know each other. I remember that we understood each other quite well.” as reported on Completesportsnigeria.com.

With unity, much can be achieved.

Yep. I can understand why some will be against bringing back the likes of Enyeama and Uche who(right or wrong) are seen as disruptive and bad for team spirit.

nelszx:
Where can we see this?

Iwobi livestreamed it on his IG. It should still be there

Iwobi and Aina keep on teasing Uzoho about his age ...Ola Aina no well sha. He calls Uzoho "John Bosco"

forgiveness:
I do not like the Ebuehi looks in that picture. Looks like one who has been neglected. Rohr should have played him against Algeria. I am still pained about it because I do not like players ignored even when it is glaring they have something to offer.

He looks like the quiet type. Just saw him on Iwobi IG live; he was laughing and recording the other guys sing. I like the team spirit in camp...it's great to see.

jstbeinhonest:
Forget the name!
Asides Moses, I guess no other key player is missing for us. Argentina without Messi is worse than Bolivia. Talk more an Argentina without DiMaria, Mascherano, Romero n co.

See Argentina's lineup for training today (and most possibly for the game on Tuesday).

Marchesin
Mammana
Fazio
Insua
Pavon
Banega
Parades
Papu Gomes
Perotti
Dybala
Beneditto.

If we use our strongest available team (which i suspect would happen), we should defeat this team by AT LEAST a 2-goal margin.

How we could do with a Paredes in our team. Papu Gomez would make our first 11 easy.

aodis:
Can't wait for Brian idowu's initiation ceremony to the super eagles . And this guy Noah Joel Bazee will add a stiff competition in the midfield. I think we have a stronger team than the one we had to Brazil 2014.

I honestly can't wait to see Bazee play for us. If he can stay fit, he might just sneak into our squad. Musa really needs to step up or like play like play he'll miss russia.

komekn:
Sone Aluko

Definitely needs to be considered.

Daejoyoung:
If joel obi plays, Onazi can still play just ahead of the defenders in a defensive midfield role, but then we have Ndidi as well, so the best option would be to reserve joel obi on the bench as a replacement for Mickel in that attacking midfield role.

J Obi is a b2b midfielder. He HAS to replace one of Onazi or Ndidi while Mikel plays as an AM.

Brian Idowu talks about what to expect from him...

somehow:
Please guys, how many natural LB and RB do we have in camp?

Also apart from Mikel and maybe a makeshift Iwobi, who can play the creative/attacking midfielding position for us currently in camp?

We are clearly lacking creativity. We need more creative players.

Danielnino00:
Do you think the Ndidi-Onazi-Mikel midfield combo should be Rohr first choice in Russia??
If not, who would u rather like to see in the midfield??

If Joel Obi can stay fit till the WC, I'd like to see him play ahead of either Ndidi or Onazi. I really think he can break into our first 11.
