I don't knw y we keep turning a blind eye to d Truth, cos I av been cin some comments suggesting he shld be benched

Bolowolowo:
I thank God for the level minded comments and intellect that is displayed from the common sensical fans that post on this thread.

Just go and take a look at the comments of SE threads on front-page... Na wa oooo.. your head will spin

Dey represent d 95percent DT doesn't believe in dis team

OMANBALA1:
Victor Moses is taking Nigeria for a ride....A reformed Onyekuru will do a better job and Chidiebere Nwakali can even dribble better than Victor Moses. I saw flashes of what Ebere Nwakali can do against Athletico.

Baba no start,wetin we no fit finish o

Moses is important to d team

TheSuperNerd:
Bia this man..... Lol... You don dey go round the mansion in subtle manner seeking votes for Nwakai K. abi?

Be kiaful... Let that boy grow into his time... Abeg.

I jjst dey notice your movements from my corner here... I dey see everything. kwantinue...

,lol,baba don catch me

OMANBALA1:
Bros,that game sweet die

OK,if u say so,but what's ur verdict does nwakali jnr deserves a call up to russia18 ?

OMANBALA1:
Wale Ojo was not bad in that Athletico game I guess the presence of the Nwakali brother dwarfed his performance... I think I am watching the game for the 5th time

Wetin happen u wan write exam concerning d match

comodo:
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.

Same reason am telling most peeps most especially boss kog45 and co dt d likes of aina and idowu hasn't given us much reasons to dump echiejile.through out d qualifiers,he wasn't found wanting as such,in fact he impressed in two legged affair against Cameroon

He might not b doing fine in his club career ATM but he hasn't been to bad for us in GWG except we are just tired of cin him play for us,just like d 2015 political scenario,even d ANIMALS TOO were tired of PDP

TheSuperNerd:
Yes... Or two sef... The possibility of going with just three fullbacks is there as they would be versatile too and can cover for one another. But again I see Rohr going with 4 FBs and then also Four CBs.

He invited 10 defenders.. And I see him dropping two. But hey... Like I said, He may shock me and drop three and we go with 7. But until then.

4FBS,4CBS....KILODE


ARE WE GOING TO RUSSIA TO DEFEND

7 is okay

Ahmed musa and shehu

asha80:
i wonder how muslim players survive world cup

D Egyptian team DT denied us one of d afcon appearance were fasting

I heard usman Mohammed who scored d wonder goal against athletico too fasted

Fasting has little or no significant effect on players when playing

tbaba1234:
It is open training so they will be on the sidelines.

Ebuehi's father
Aina's Father
Iwobi's father

All in Uyo.

If u like carry ur generation come camp


If rohr no go pick u go world cup,e no go pick u

tbaba1234:

Victor Moses
Shehu

Shehu and Musa have been in Nigeria since, they really should not be late.

Shehu and musa might b giving permission cos of ramadhan

asha80:
i can understand the pessimisim and negative comments towards super eagles leading to this tournament..it is sort a coping mechanism to shield oneself from emotional anguish should these eagles flop..i used to be be in that state ..started in that nations cup semi finals against Ghana(cant remember if it was 2008 edition now)when Nigeria went ahead through a penalty in the second half after mensah brought down odewingie ..mensah was later sent off making Ghanaians to be one man down from then on.

now instead of eagles to march on and pound Ghana that was surely demoralized having a man sent off(defender) and one goal down it now looked like it was Nigerian player that was sent off ..then Ghanaians piled pressure on us..we could not even string decent passes and attacks again..next Ghana then equalized and later on score 2 (by agogo i think) in the dying mins of that match..i have never being angry about a result the way i was before that day..my issue wasn't the loss but the manner eagles lost..coupled with so many uninspiring performance of eagles few years prior to that i emotionally logged out Nigerian national team football for sometime

not even the 2013 winning of nations cup could get me that interested again(back then i felt it was just pure luck and nothing else)..couldn't even remember most of the actions of the eagles in that tournament.

when the draws for qualifying for 2018 world cup was made i heard that Algeria,Zambia and Cameroon were in our group i remember telling a friend that we should just opt out of qualifying and go and rest (i didnt even know the day we played Tanzania en route to the group stage..when i heard we beat them i just yinmued)..i was forced by by that friend to watch the Cameroon encounter in uyo as i wasn't interested..however some displays i saw in that match ignited a lost emotion for i saw some sort of organization in the eagles play that had been lacking prior to then..it was later displays against Algeria ,Zambia and return leg of Cameroon that made me feel that ok it seems that there could be some sort of hope in this team strictly because of counter attacks,some level of organizational play and less controversy unlike in the past

all i can say is that this team is likely going to have the best preparation to a world cup of any eagles team bar 94 set..there seems to be more organization and unity of purpose in this team than any other we have had going to a world cup..issues of cabals within and squabbles about match bonuses squad is absent unlike 94 and 98...however they can not be compared to 94 or even 98 set in terms of individual quality by any stretch..

so i say let me just have cautious optimism on this side because i have watched international football long enough to know organisation and unity can take you to a certain far in a tournament most times..but it reaches a stage where individual quality seems to take over and this is where i feel we would fall short(only the Germans seem to win tournaments with having and x factor player).

so allow the people with supposed pessimism to have air their views without must condemnation because their mindset cannot be changed now until something spectacular happens..i try imagine my mindset now trying to convince my 2008 to 2016 mindset about eagles doing respectively well in Russia..would probably break my own head lol

Like u av rightly said in ur first few paragraphs, asyde d fans here on dis thread,95percent of Nigerians including nairalanders outside dis thread don't believe in dis team, a whole lot of ppu still feel bittered like u once experienced after watching Ghana vs Nigeria match in 2008,infact most av lost faith after our lackluster performance against Angola in 2006 where we failed to qualify for d worldcup,I av lot of ppu who fell into dis category ,they stopped watching eagles after DT match in 2006

Let me paint a scenerio for u,after reading some of d inspiring comments of TheSupernerd,kennysvile,tbaba1234and some oda monikers view our chances of our team in russia to reach d semi final of d world cup,wc majority of us believe in dis thread.

I took DT spirit of optimism to discuss d points I got here in d midst of guys in area,I was still on our first match against Croatia, immediately I said "IF" we defeat Croatia,If u luk at d way I was looked down upon
,some bursted into laffs,some even said we shld not boda going etc,I was now wondering in my mind DT what if I had said,we re going to beat Croatia like we do say here,wetin for happen to me .some even said dey would b supporting oda teams, and all oda derogatory statements hurled at us,singling just Mikel and moses as our biggest stars,we av no chance etc



My broda MAJORITY still havnt believe in dis team yet o,despite qualifying out from a difficult group wout calculator like we do b4 ,most of dem said our best eagles play ended with d 98 set.


I don't knw what d eagles can do again to win d heart of d majority .but me no send em sha,if we can win d 1st match

We re going to make it to d quarterfinals of d tournament

Joebie:
I meant to say 2nd goal.

Baba u just wan tackle dis our gk


Except if a gk is lucky by standing where d ball is coming to,its very difficult to stop a close range heading (shot),d head can turn any where, d likes of de gea and co wouldn't av stopped Torres header yday

forgiveness:
None of the goalkeepers on the list will catch that ball. I repeat none.

Blame who for third goal?

D combination of Buffon, courtois,Allisson, wouldn't av parried DT ball

TheSuperNerd:
It is no hypes. You actually beat me to quoting Humility017's words first.. He just nailed it.

Watching that boy called Kelechi Nwakali not just today but right from the U-17s and U-20s (qualifiers only) brought this feeling of nolstagia that led me to when Mikel was born at Finland 2003. I won't lie to you... That is what I have always seen since 2015.

He has this special aura about him. His confidence is just naturally high on the pitch. Unfazed by big names (see how he handled Partey). He carries a swag similar to Mikel and an atmosphere that says "I'm in charge."

That is just a glimpse into parts of what make a midfield general.

So Sir Humility's words are spot on. He nailed it big time... But still... Give it time. Kelechi's time is almost here. Give it time people... Give it time.

No one can determine when a player can b useful or not,what if he's d suitable player we av been looking for mikels back up.. Let rohr add him to d list ,make it 31,let dem jostle for d final spot,if he's giving a nod by d crew so b it,me am not sold on dis "pre or after world cup of a thing"

Same goes to DT number 3 sub guy

Imahuni:
Atm, Chelsea and Liverpool Legend

He wasn't a Chelsea legend, he FLOPPED at Chelsea

Icon4s:
Campaign after election

Boss icon4s,we shldnt turn a blind eye to real possible back up to mikel, all in d name "after worldcup prospect" when we knw he can offer something different to what we av at d moment

tbaba1234:
Too late, he should be one of those that come in after WC.

Dt guy is good o,he has something special to add to eagles play Dan what agu,ogu,onazi would bring to d table, d 3players mentioned are DM.

My observation anyway

Nwakalijnr to replace Agu in DT 30man list...guys lets start d campaign

Forget sentiment or favourites here


I don't c what agbo,agu,ogu will add to super eagles play Dan what nwakali jnr did on d pitch today

Honestly,I don't c any reason y rohr shouldn't give him a closer look.out of d player mentioned above,none is closer to him when it comes to creativity,we can't relent only on Mikel for DT purpose

Meanwhile DT number 3 sub guy is good

My best goal on d pitch of play tonight was usman Mohammed goal


Calm cool and collected with d ball

He finished DT athletico defender guy,dribbled him on a spot 3times b4 slotting it home

If it was messi or cronaldo DT scored d goal,we no go hear word for here

Delerichard:
beside Catholic church

Yea very right

Dey snapped dis picture in my area,precisely jakande estate okeafa isolo,@moshalashi bstop


Those who re familiar with DT background will knw

ChrisKels:
Leon Balogun should please shun these average English clubs on his hills for a top team like Schalke04 that has been exploring ways to sign him. Schalke04 will also be playing in the Champions League next season.

At his age,he's too old for a team going for champions League DT would just add up to Numbers like schalke

Rada he shld seek for d money now with d little years left for his active playing career.if dey would pay him better in premiership,he shld join dem.except if Madrid,barca,or Bayern comes for him where he's sure of lifting d CL trophy soon

Martz101:
we need to get 4 point atleast from Croatia and iceland, Croatia game could determine our tournerment

We lose DT game,we kiss d tournament gudbye

A win,we top d group

A draw....50/50 chance of progressing to d next round

denniece1:
Abeg, any stadium in Nigeria with LED perimeter advertising?

Yea dere shld be one in Okokomaiko b4 u get ijaniki in lagos
