I do understand Egbon however, I do think he is getting better with his tactics!

Kog45:
Faby,talent yapa but the major issue is Rohr.I don't see him achieving much with this team cos his tactical approach is limited.

No team in Africa can match our talent presently. Only a few countries in the world. hahaha! ChrisKels is now a convert. League of extraordinary marksmen in Supernerds voice!

ChrisKels:
AC Milan in a tug of war with Lyon for the signature of Paul Onuachu, while Bayern battles Sevilla for the services of UD Almeria talisman, Sadiq Umar

SS Lazio back in for Simmy Nwankwo as Genoa lurks


Can't wait to see our options after summer transfer window.

Imagine having striking options of;

Osimhen - Napoli

Iheanacho - Leicester

Onuachu - AC Milan*

Sadiq - Sevilla *

Simmy - Lazio*


Outsiders; Moffi who might join a bigger team in France, Ike Ugbo who also might move to a bigger league and team, Fit again Isaac Success who might regain his form as Watford are EPL bound etc


Our opponents would be shitting their pants when we name our 23 man squad for an assignment

I agree with you! No one ever thought an African team would win a soccer Olympic gold medal. It happened! Nigeria then Cameroon! We almost won it a third time!

BascoVanVeli:
African teams are only missing luck. One day things will click and an African team will go all the way.

I do think the gap is closing. The talents in world football right now are spread across countries. Apart from France, no other country has an exceptional football team in the world today!

Icon4s:
Sorry, but African teams have not done enough to merit winning the World Cup.

Looking across from Morocco through Tunisia and Algeria to Egypt and from Senegal through Ghana and CIV to Nigeria, none of these countries has what it takes to even Make the semis.

These Southern Cameroonians claimed they decided against joining Nigeria in 1961 because of the Igbos now they want to form an alliance with the same Igbos they accused of marginalizing them in the past.

Let everyone carries his/her papa's name. Odua, Biafra, Arewa, Ambazonia, Niger Delta Republic etc. everyone should stay on their own enough of all this bloodshed.

However, we humans are just so stupid!
Where are those killing and dying cos of Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, USSR, etc. today?
Whether Nigeria or any other country nothing we change!
Why waste your life for nothing, why create anarchy for your own people!

Never in history has war or anarchy birthed solutions.
Without peace or sitting at a round table nothing can be solved!

Why humans always resort to peaceful means as the last option is something I do not understand!

Apart from the goal, Mount and James did nothing useful on Zaidu's wing! He attacked, marked, and tracked back! What else do you want from him? Which wing-back played better than him today? Chilwell scored but was not better than Zaidu in that game! QED

Lolll! My Bro!

ChrisKels:
Drdoom please do not answer Fabyom. Fabyom is my man and I know the kind of things he can say. To Fabyom every super eagle is the best in the world. Please do not engage fabyom, his own passion dey extraordinarily whosky

Bro, it's Kessie against Ndidi! Why you and @andrewbaba dey shift the goalpost?

ChrisKels:
Hahahahaha Thunder fire you there, Olise

Why are you this wicked?

Pepe has scored how many goals for Ivory Coast?

drDoom3:
If Pepe had Chukwueze's stats, he wouldn't be anywhere near Arsenal.

Pepe has more goals with Arsenal than all Chukwueze's career goals combined. In the EPL o. And some of us here proudly boast of how Chukwueze is tearing La Liga apart. With what? Mess?

I pray we meet either CIV or Senegal. I would troll Chriskels like...

TheSuperNerd:
He did keep us alive as well at the last Afcon and we all saw how your CIV crashed out quicker than we can spell "Ivory Coast". While my Super Eagles went as far as the semis.

Same story loading for CIV in Cameroun.

It is certain Baily is leaving United but no club is bidding for him!
That tells you something! lol!

ChrisKels:
Akpoguma better than Baily? Chai!!

Even Fabyom no do reach like this

Olise and Ejaria holding down Reading's midfield! Future Super Eagles mid-field Generals? I really hope so!

Olise scores for reading!

Thank you! Please, can you post Onachu's goal? I miss that match!

Ppogbae:
Moffi assist vs Brest...

Are you married? Do you have kids? If not shut up!

kellycute:
everyone want to believe their own is among the exception. AWALT!!!!

Thank you so much, my good Bro!
Lol! He has all the skillset and physicality to be better, unfortunately, injuries have hindered his progress.
He is back now.
At this very moment, Sarr is better!
In the long run, Success will be better than him if he stays fit!

ChrisKels:
May God bless your home bro. By the way, it's been a while. Do you still go with the idea that Success is Better than Ismaila Sarr?

If you have the intention of traveling. I will advise you do however set your priorities right. Go to the travel section of this wonderful platform, study it, ask questions, and do your own research from google. Wishing you all the best brothers!

I do understand your point, my good bro. Like you have stated there are some exceptional Nigerian women. Happy Easter!

ChrisKels:
Let us leave it like that bro, make I no talk wetin go make you begin reason too deep because all women ain't the same, your wife fit be an exception. Happy easter

I beg to differ @Chriskels. My wife and kids are in Nigeria. Although it has not been easy staying apart for more than 3 years, we are coping pretty well.

ChrisKels:
Don't ever make the mistake of marrying a naija girl and then leave him behind to travel abroad.

Simyyyyyyyy!

Osihmen is ready to run at goal but these guys don't give those killer passes. Always passing sideways, backward, sideways. I wish Osihmen is in Dortmund while Haaland is in Napoli?

Ajayi is a very good defender! Osigooooal! Back to form! Those 2 AFCON qualifying matches did a lot of good to Osi's confidence!

He should have started Giroud in that formation. The wing-backs are putting in crosses with a Werner as a striker? Are you kidding me?

Subzero047:
Werner is still a good player, his offensive positioning is excellent

I do think Oshoala might be the first African World female player of the year and the greatest Africa female footballer of all time! She is that good and blessed!

I don't understand your argument.
He only played cos others did not come.
Why invite a replacement for Kalu when Musa is already in camp.
The wisest thing to do is to put him on the list.
He played cos there was nothing at stake, the match is already won.
The way we disrespect our legends is disturbing.
Once they are in trouble we forget about all their past efforts.
Bale was not playing at Real Madrid yet Wales kept inviting him.
Musa was not even invited to play yet we kept thrash talking him.
Why are we so ungrateful?

robosky02:
Not completely correct


The coach said he will field only players who are fit and consistently playing for their club


The very reason why NPFL players were overlooked

So if we have now have them performed superbly for CAF league and in our league.


Why still use Musa?

The coach said it himself, Musa played because some players withdrew.
The team list for any Fifa/caf completion is 23 players but Rohr initial list of invites was 24 players!
Musa only played cos some others withdrew.
Onachu took Sadiq's place, Musa took Kalu's spot, Onyekuru took Simon Moses's spot.
Please get your fact right.

robosky02:
Who be this one

Musa was invited to play but because of the out cry the coach just said he wouldn't play

But the question is why invite a player who hasn't played for 5 months and you side the standard is only players who are playing regularly?
That's the issue here Onuachu was on fire you left him out for a club less player?


By the way are you aware


Musa replaced Iheanacho with four minutes of normal time to play.

He is very average! Actually, I prefer Paul Mukairo to him! We really need Ejaria and Olise!

charlesemeka85:
his younger brother Felix is with city's 2nd team while he is out on loan at anderlechts. A German u21 international, to be honest haven't heard any news of him ready to switch to Nigeria.

He is doing pretty well in Belgium with a move away permanently likely next season from city. I doubt we can get him easily from the Germans

His younger brother who is a CM seem more feasible to me

Musa was initially not invited to play! Stop being ignorant!
The team list was 24 instead of 23 players.
Musa was the 24th man cos he is the captain.
He played because other players withdrew!
Stop being a nuisance and understand the reason for a coach's decision before spiting rubbish here.

Where are the creative midfielders? If someone like Eze and Saka had agreed to play for us I don't think Rohr will be calling up defenders.

Icon4s:
He usually does that with Ajayi and Shehu being potential midfield options. But that always robs of the opportunity of having more creative midfielders in the team.

Rohr should have enough balls to drop some of those defenders and give room for more midfielders.

Good to see you back here our amiable lawyer!

Instinct:
Okoye seems more alert to danger.
He comes off his line at the appropriate time to thwart dangerous moments.
Benin Republic played some dangerous over-the-top balls but Okoye was alert, rushing out to claim those balls.
He really made life easy for Balo and Ekong.

Uzoho is weak in that aspect. There was a time he almost collided with Balogun.

Reflexes:
They both made one important save.
Okoye made the save pushing the ball to a corner kick.
Uzoho pushed the ball to an onrushing Lesotho player to score. Thank God the goal was canceled for offside.

Corner kicks:

All the corner kicks by Benin Republic were claimed by Okoye. Not one was nodded out/in.

Uzoho rarely claims corner kicks in the air. I don't like that.

Calmness:
Okoye's body too dey ginger and that might be his Achilles heels. For example, when he claimed the ball outside the 18 yards box.
Uzoho is more calm.

Ball distribution:

Okoye releases the ball faster and better than Uzoho.

I do think we should stick with Okoye.
Rotating both of them is not a bad idea but for consistency's sake, I will advise we stick with one!

safarigirl:
So, we had Okoye man the post against Benin, and Uzoho man the post against Lesotho, with both goalies keeping clean sheets.

First of all, I am glad we have risen from the ashes of Akpeyi and Ezenwa, but I would genuinely like to know what you guys think of both players and the possibility of rotation between them.

Bear in mind, when I say 'rotation', I don't mean the way Enyeama and Ejide were rotated, but something with a little more equity. I genuinely feel like Ejide was shortchanged a lot in the team, because of Enyeama's brilliance, so, while I acknowledge how much of a legend Vincent is, I do feel a bit for Ejide.

So guys, what's your take on the Maduka-Uzoho GK rotation? If you can include their performances in the last two games in your analysis, factor their strengths and weaknesses, it would also be appreciated.

Thanks

He just returned from injury and Covid! He scored a very good goal.
He hadn't played much in the last 2 months.
Please be patient with him!

DrKlever:
Osimhen has good work rate but extremely wasteful in front of goal. Iheanacho and Onuachu would have scored most of the chances he fluffed.

There is no team in Africa that can defeat this Super Eagles.
Only a few in the world at this moment.
This Nigerian team is a team of superstars!
The scary thing is that they are still very young!
If you didn't watch all the qualifiers (within and outside Africa) please don't spit trash on my page!
