Easy Bro, how did you come to this Conclusion - that the Iceland Team lacks creativity? So sigurdsson and other Midfielders in the Team ain't creative?! Any Fact to prove it??





Chief Coach...... another Fallacy. Has Iwobi ever played as SS for the Eagles, specifically behind Iheanacho as the leading Striker?! Who dash Iwobi speed Sir?! Even Iheanacho ain't a real pacy Player. Understanding you say? On or off the Pitch?!





Master Tactician.......... which one be auxiliary Center Back ni tori Olohun. Mikel as an auxiliary CB?! Kada Kada Sir.





Senior Manager........ and you will be comfortable with two slow CBs in a 3 at the back Formation?! Even ready to experiment a Player as slow as Ogu in a must win Match?!





Lord..... how do you plan to win with this Setup and Lineup?! Ogu at the back?! Etebo as a No. 10?! Iwobi as a SS and Iheanacho as the lead Striker?! LMAO.

Bruh, we will be tactically disgraced, nullified, and brutally massacred by Icelanders.

Cc Mujtahida, Joebie, Chriskel, Elyte89, AIG07, forgiveness........ here comes the Coach to replace Rohr after the Mundial.

Hahahahahaha! Honestly, I will not set up my team like that.

Ogu for center back? No no no! Omeruo better. Mikel and Ndidi, Ndidi and Etebo or Ndidi and Ogu will shield the back four.

I will not play Moses as rwb or lwb. Mbanu!

I will rather pair him with Ighalo or Simy. Iwobi will play before them.

AIG07:
Rohr needs to speak to Moses he needs to stop falling like a child learning how to work.

I like it.

MetalJigsaw:
make dem dey praise the team for a wayward loss?

Not really. You can criticize but you should at the same time give a profound analysis of the solutions. That's all.

Abeg! England good.

Joebie:
I would rather play Iwobi as an AM. It would help our creativity upfront. Etebo should play b2b

I agree but I don't see Etebo seating on the bench after emerging as our best player in the last match.

I will remove either Ogu or Simy to accomodate Etebo.

Mujtahida:
You guys are the ones who are very sensitive to such insinuations oo. Yet here you are travelling that road with glee. If forgiveness should so much as whisper such a thing, na chorus una go begin sing.

Whenever I hear quota system, I understand where that I better pass mentality comes from. Though I don't fancy Shehu's selection from the unset but I know he has been played out of position hence his poor performance.

Oasis007:


Some Monikers really amazed me. I thought they religiously believe in Rohr, trust his Project and ready to stand by him even if he fails at this World Cup.

They preached severally to us not to be fickle-minded, just in case things go south at the Mundial. They tagged Rohr the second coming of Messiah, and the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria Football - post-Westerhof Era though.

Alas! They keep wailing more than bereaved. They keep lamenting, gnashing Teeth, ready to tear down Rohr and his Project. My Point is; why are they preaching what they can't practice?!

Some Monikers are looking up to them cos they are Homies on this Thread, but they've failed those who believed in their loyalty and patriotism.

TheSuperNerd, Michael2, Mujtahida, Tbaba1234, Joseph1013, Komekn, Icon4s, Forgiveness, and some other notable Monikers weren't as well happy with the Result, but didn't discard Rohr, the Project and the Players because of the Match.

They analyzed the Match, where it went wrong, and suggested tactical Solutions to avoid another negative Result in our next Game. They ain't cursing or insulting Rohr or the Coaching Crew, they picked the talking-points, analyzed it, debated it and already move unto the next Match.

Pls Eagulians, enough of wailings. Let's go back to pre-world Period. Let's believe again...... coz in a Game of Football - Nothing is Impossible..

I tire ooooooo. Na plastic fans full here pass.

Mujtahida:
Copied from a forum. Make we laugh small.

---

After their defeat by Croatia, Nigeria Players were so ashamed of their failure that they decided to hide their identity so that they would not be recognized. Moses dressed like a monk. While walking on the streets of Kaliningrad in Russia, suddenly an old lady walked up to him and said,"Hi Moses!" Amazed and angry that an old lady had recognized him, he went back and dressed like a Muslim girl, covering his whole face leaving only the eyes. Again he bumped into the same old lady and she said, "Moses, nice meeting you again!" Confused and puzzled he asked,"But how did you recognize me ma'am?" The old lady laughed out loud and said,"Are you stupid or what? It's me Iwobi.

Hahahahahaha!

wayodude:
So all those balls from Modric to Kramaric that kept exposing Shehu was evidence of impotent Croatian wingers or a neutralized Croatian midfield?

Na wa o

How many times was he beaten?

How many chances did Croatia create from his wing?

TheSuperNerd:
Look don't mind metaljigsaw... He is so clueless as to how we executed that game. Probably must be the booze again.

In truth, Egbon , it is not just about what Rohr said. We ourselves that saw that game can confirm it. I mean those of us that can actually analyse and not some that love to rant because of just a loss while ignoring every other detail.

Aha! Hahahahahaha!

Ok make kuku ma leave am.

TheSuperNerd:
Spot on... And on Iwobi's wing being on vacation that is why most of our attack from the flanks were incoming via Moses' wing and he needed his fullback to support him and this is where I fault Shehu's offensive timidity. He is not inventive or adventurous upfront.

Defensively, I cannot fault Shehu. He put every foot right defensively save for only when Perisic got in behind once. Just once. But Shehu was good defensively and also had Moses supporting him defensively but when it was time to return the favor offensively, he became a wimp. Always too afraid to venture into those spaces Moses created with his movement down that right to enable Shehu charge in and collect a pass for a cross.

In all, we could have done better as a team. Those two mistakes cost us. If not for them, we would be talking about a draw now.

I totally agree with you in regards to Shehu's offensive timidity.

I still don't understand why Rohr dropped Ebuehi for Shehu.

Hopefully, he does better against Iceland.

THE WITCH AND THE SUPER EAGLES
by Leon Balogun

My sister’s best friend’s mom had a best friend, and she was the witch.

She could read auras, or some crazy nonsense like that. I was 19 years old when I was told about her. I was trying to become a professional soccer player in Berlin — I didn’t have time for nonsense. But I had this issue … I was injury prone. Every year I felt like I would take one step forward and two steps back in my career because of the injuries. My sister, who is 13 years older than me and also my best friend, had an idea: The witch. Maybe witch is a bad term. I’m not sure. But she was a little spooky.

When my sister first pitched me the idea, I sort of rolled my eyes, like, Yeah … I’m sure she’ll know what’s wrong with me.

“No, Leon,” she’d say to me, “She sees things.”

“Fine, fine. Let’s give it a try.”

Let’s meet the witch.

She was a middle-aged Russian woman. She didn’t look like much of a witch, or an oracle for that matter. Her eyes walked up and down me as soon as I entered the room. My eyes darted around. She started to talk to me and my sister. It was about nothing in particular really, but I think she was studying me — my energy. Her first diagnosis was that there was an hole in my aura. I was like, Alright, well, anybody could have guessed that.

She said, “It’s on your right side.”

“The hole in my aura?”

“Yes.”

That’s where I had a scar from a bad right-shoulder injury. She had no idea about it, and she had never seen me with a shirt off … she just, felt it, I guess. Now she had my attention.

Then — and I’ll never forget this — she really blew me away.

“Four or five years ago, you lost a person very close to you, but someone who you didn’t completely know, either.”

I don’t think I said anything. She went on about how all people have someone like this in their lives, whether they know them or not. Someone who, no matter the strength of your connection, you will feel connected to — your soulmate, in a way.

She said, “Is this true, Leon?”

“Yes, my grandma.”

I was amazed. I hadn’t thought about my grandma that much since she passed when I was 16 years old. But, this lady was right. My grandma’s death had a huge effect on me, and I had never even met my grandma, who lived in Nigeria. That’s the part that was wild to me. My sister didn’t know anything about my reaction to grandma’s passing. This woman, though, she saw it. She told me I had to heal my soul, my heart, before I could become the player I wanted to be.

After we left, I didn’t completely understand if my experience with her was successful. The most important thing that came out of that day was that it got me thinking about my grandma. When I got home, my mind went straight back to the day my dad told me the news.

Because I had never met her, my dad didn’t tell me right when it happened. He actually waited a few days — that’s how distant my relationship was from her. She only spoke Yoruba. So when we talked on the phone when I was little, my dad would try to translate for us. He had never taken me to Nigeria, for reasons he didn’t make clear to me, and I only ever saw photos of my grandma.

When my dad told me, he pulled me aside in our home. I have this vivid memory of the feeling — like, this terrible, terrible feeling of sadness. I crawled up the stairs, sobbing my eyes out. I cried for an hour. My mom had to come to my room and ask me what was wrong … she couldn’t understand why I was so sad, either.

I think, what I knew at a young age was that my grandma represented a part of my life that I didn’t completely understand. I was mixed race. My mom was a German, my dad Nigerian. I was different than the other kids. And I knew that my grandma, and Nigeria, had a lot do with it.

I now wanted to understand more about that part of my life. And because of a witch, I knew how important that part of me truly was.

My dad used to walk three miles every day before school when he was growing up in Nigeria. I knew this because he never let me forget it. It was one of a handful of stories he would tell me about his childhood. He moved to Germany in 1966, learned the language, got his diploma and met my mother. He was the blueprint for immigrants. He made it sound easy — being a foreigner who looked different — but I knew it wasn’t. Because even though Germany is a progressive country, there is that group of people, especially in sport, who still lurk around waiting to knock you down if you’re different.

I met one of them when I was playing U-16 in Berlin, in 2003. I had given up on my dreams of being Thierry Henry or Ronaldinho, so I was playing at center back. The other team had this huge striker. He was bad news. I played really well, and I kept him in my pocket. We were up 1–0 at halftime, and as I was walking to the locker room, the striker kicked the ball at my head. It missed me by about an inch. Woosh. I turned, and he was yelling at me. He was calling me the n-word, using other racial slurs.

Nobody did anything. There were people all around us, and nobody did anything. After the game, while we were still at the park, I told my dad about him kicking the ball at me.

“Leon, you must always be calm. You’re smarter than they are. You’re better than they are.”

Then I told him what the boy said to me. And that, for the first time in my life, was when I saw my dad lose his cool. He had this look on his face. I told him I wanted to go home because Mom said she was making a nice dinner.

“No, we have to fix something.”

https://cdn.theplayerstribune.com/uploads/cfa66c8b-72bf6182-c4ba-4886-86d6-ca82342296f3.jpg?width=1000

So we waited in the parking lot for the boy to come out with his parents. They did. And my dad let them have it.

“Hey, how can you raise your kid like this? Do you know what he said to my boy? We all come here to play football, and you lost, and that’s the game. But your son is 15 — he’s 15! — and he acts like this. I hope that you can one day fill his heart with love, instead of hate.”

Their back-and-forth went on for awhile, and the other parents weren’t very nice. But I will remember what my dad said forever: Love, instead of hate. He was very upset in that moment, but he used empathy over rage. And I began to understand, little by little, how he made being an immigrant look so easy. I think because my dad worked so hard to integrate into society in Germany, it gave me the opportunity to do the opposite and connect with my Nigerian roots.

I never supported the German national team, mostly because I thought they were arrogant and their football was boring to watch. Even in 2006, when Germany hosted and the whole country had World Cup mania — I secretly cheered for them to lose. Because I was a kid, and I was rebellious. And because, even though I felt in my mind that I was just as German as all the other kids, a lot of people didn’t see me like that.

I was always asked, “Where are you from?” Or, “How long have have you been here?”

I would think to myself sometimes, Maybe I was meant to be Nigerian.

Even after I overcame some of the injury issues I had as a teenager and began playing regular minutes in the 2. Bundesliga and Bundesliga, that thing — the part of my soul that I had been told to heal all those years ago — was still missing from my life. In 2014, I was coming to the end of my contract with Fortuna Dusseldorf. I wasn’t sure where I would go next. There was uncertainty in my life, and from time to time I would think of the witch. What did she mean, “heal my soul?”

One night in March, my phone rang. It was a Nigerian number … it was Stephen Keshi, the Nigerian National Team manager. I was sweating as soon as he introduced himself. I wanted him to say the words I had thought about for so long. He spoke for awhile about how he wasn’t totally familiar with me, but he liked how I played.

Then he said it: “I would like to invite you to be a Super Eagle.”

Those words … they meant so much to me. It meant validation for every step of my footballing journey. It meant happiness for my family. Most of all, it meant an opportunity to go to Nigeria.

And that … that was everything to me.

https://cdn.theplayerstribune.com/uploads/49bba59f-balogun_quote-card.jpg?width=1000

When I told my dad the news, he was skeptical. “Are you sure it was the coach?” he said.

And he had a point. I don’t want to speak poorly about the people of Nigeria, but there are some that are real scam artists. They spoil our name. I think that was a part of why my dad never took me back there.

“Yes, Dad, it was the coach. I even listened to his voice on YouTube right after to make sure it was him!”

He warned me about some of the things I could encounter in Nigeria. It wasn’t quite the celebratory phone call I had played out in my head, but that was my dad, always preparing me. But he was proud, I could hear that in his voice. I knew, as much as I understood about myself, about my father, I would learn even more on this trip.

My first impression of Nigeria was probably same as that of any person who has lived in Germany his whole life: Man, it’s hot — heat like I’ve never experienced. I flew down with Anthony Ujah, a striker playing for Koln at the time. He helped me prepare for the trip a bit, too. Tips on what to do, how to act, all that stuff. When we stepped off the plane — the craziest thing was that people knew who I was. Some smiled and asked for photos. I couldn’t believe it. Just as I knew that in Germany I would always be seen as black, I assumed that in Nigeria I’d be seen as another white guy on a business trip. But they knew me, they were happy for me. Maybe I was meant to be Nigerian.

We landed in Abuja, the capital city. We were there for a few days before training started. When we drove to practice that first day, I was listening to music, headphones in. “Nobody Knows” by August Alsina was playing. I like that song because, as somebody with a little fame, people sometimes seem to forget that I go through things, too. As I was listening, I saw a boy on a skateboard on the street. He had a disability. He had to sit on the board and use his hands to get around — something you would never see in Germany. And I just started to cry. I think, because I had seen some of the poverty in the city — in this beautiful city, with wonderful people — that it just sort of put things into perspective for me. It made understand how fortunate I was to grow up in one of the world’s greatest countries, to have the family I did. It was a humbling few days, and that boy’s problems made mine seem so inconsequential.

https://cdn.theplayerstribune.com/uploads/5927726e-gettyimages-966588870.jpg?width=1000

It was a such an important trip for me, such a great trip. I felt a sense of … healing. I felt like I was connecting with a part of me that had been lost — or better yet, never truly found — a long time ago. I love Nigerian food; I love the culture. Everyone is always playing music, laughing … trying to have the best time. I felt at home. And I understood that I could have two homes.

I want to make both of them proud in Russia at the World Cup. Because Germany gave me this opportunity to have success with Nigeria. It is my footballing heritage. I get that. But when I wear that Super Eagles kit … it feels so good. And when we beat Zambia in October 2017 to punch our ticket to Russia, it felt amazing. I remember the final whistle, our stadium in Uyo erupting. I fell to my knees in tears. John Obi Mikel, our captain, came up to me.

“No, no, you don’t get to cry. You don’t get to cry. We’re going to Russia!”

We’re going to Russia. It still feels surreal to say. I just can’t wait.

I know when we get there and I hear the national anthem, I’ll feel that much closer to my family, to my two homes, to my grandma.

And that, more than anything, is going to make the World Cup incredible.

Those discriminating FB can see what they go through. They are seem as foreigners eventhough they were born there and lived all their lives there.

There true identity is Nigerian and they should be allowed to identity with their place of origin without discrimination.

What a tale.

MetalJigsaw:
Thank God you have no influence on the team

Rohr also confirmed it. Wetin concern me with influence.

Oasis007:


I do not aim to taunt you, but you suggested the Duo of Ndidi and Etebo to form a defensive midfield Pivot and Mikel as an AM against the Croats - yet you keep blaming Rohr for the Loss.

If you are in charge, what would you have done Difference if I may ask pls?! Tweaking the Formation or changing the Personnel?!

LMAO... Bhuuuhahaha!

Chaiiiiiiiiiiiii! Fearing God yiooooooo!

MetalJigsaw:
Are you serious!? How?

We neutralized their midfield with two DMF and rendered their wingers impotent by defending with two players.

Those two areas are the Croats strength.

TheSuperNerd:
You are correct. We matched the Croatians tactically reducing their normal whirlwind effectiveness. Their midfield could do us no much damage. Uzoho was rarely tested. We lost because of two errors from set-pieces and also because we did not carry enough bite upfront. But this will change hopefully come Friday.

Someone was like, "Messi could not lead his side to victory against Iceland. C.Ronaldo at the Euros also could not lead his side to victory against Iceland. Is it now the Super Eagles that wanna defeat Iceland?"

I only responded to him, "Anything is possible my friend. This is why this is called the beautiful game."

Time will tell

Thank God you saw exactly what happened in that match. Most analysis were surprised the Croats couldn't dominate the game in the midfield before the mistake.

Even after the mistake, dem still park bus.

Anyway, they never allowed us to play our counter attack Football by placing all their players behind the back and unfortunately Iwobi 's wing was on vacation while Mikel didn't support Ighalo hence our lack of bite upfront.

Hopefully, we organize ourselve against Iceland and focus on getting a goal through setpieces because Iceland will park the bus and rely on counter attack if we open space.

somehow:
You didnt watch the match so just move on oga. Must you argue everything?

Did i claim I watched the match?

I responded according to the tenor of your comment. So, I don't need to see the match since I didn't go outside of what you said.

Rohr to tweak Eagles’ formation against Iceland
By Ayo Olu Ibidapo - June 17, 2018 1919 0

https://aoifootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/WhatsApp-Image-2018-06-16-at-20.29.16.jpeg

Super Eagles’ Coach Gernot Rohr intends to respond to his team’s 2-0 loss to a superior Croatian side as latest reports from the camp of the Eagles indicate he will tweak their formation and playing personnel against Iceland.

Reports gathered by AOIFootball.com’s correspondent who is in Russia show that the Franco-German tactician will pull the strings and rest some of the players he has kept faith with since the World Cup qualifiers and the friendly matches.

Players like Simeon Nwankwo may be given the nod over Odion Ighalo who has been Rohr’s preferred choice in the striking role, and the manager may also rest captain Mikel John Obi and give either John Ogu or Joel Obi the chance to pair with the duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo. Ogenyi Onazi may also be given a look- in.

One of Ahmed Musa or Kelechi Iheanacho may also be picked to start ahead of Victor Moses who is yet to find his rhythm in the past 3 games he has featured for the team.

Abdullahi Shehu and Bryan Idowu may keep their places but will be under pressure as Tyronne Ebuehi and Elderson Echiejile are breathing down their necks to return to the starting lineup.

AoiFootball

Simy and Ogu or Joel should start.

Rohr should work out ways to score through set pieces.

Ebuehi should start too.


............................ Uzoho

.............Balogun.........Ekong............ Omeruo.......

....Ebuehi ........... Ndidi.............Ogu........... Brian..

.......................................Etebo ..............

.................Victor............................ Simy.


Or

4-2-1-3

.....….................Uzoho.........

Ebuehi........... Balogun...... Ekong........ Brain......

........................Ndidi............ Ogu......

...................................Etebo..........

.. Victor.................... Simy................... Ahmed......

MetalJigsaw:
You're comparing our result to that of Spain, Argentina and Brazil. How did the Croatian team play?


Argentina played against an Iceland that were not ready to come out. They were fine with a draw- Parked the bus.

How can you campare Croatia with a Portugal that has a blazing Cristiano Ronaldo who single handedly snatched a point from spain??

Craotia were just average at best. They were there for the taking but our coach implemented a very wrong tacic despite failing with it on several occasions.

The tactics we used made Croatia average.

Meliforme:
Simy is our best striking option.

I think it will be better Simy and Ogu start against Iceland because of their height.

maputohq:
OGA... Oil dey your head. We lost that game after that own goal. Though I would love Ebuehi over Shehu, he wasn't as bad as cats wants us to see.

Na d truth be dat.

Shehu was not bad at all but I think Ebuehi will be better.

somehow:
You're a lost cause.

somehow:
Tried with just 1 weak shot at go? did you see what Mitrovich did against costa rica? a lone striker coming even into his own half to right for balls when none came to him.

Is that not how you decribed what Mitrovich did?

Two shots and an header. Watch again.

I no watch what Costa Rica match but if dat what you expected from a lone striker, Ighalo did exactly the same on many occasions.

Please, watch the match again.

Is this not my reply. Take note of 'if'.

edi287:
Man I don't see us beating both Iceland and Argentina. The game against Iceland will be too tough. They are just too organized. They won't even give us the space we got against croatia.

I never loose hope ooooooo and I expect we do well against Iceland.

What we need is to get an early goal.

somehow:
So how then did you know Ighalo yesterday did what the guy i mentioned did today? Do you even know what the guy did?

Reason why i said you shouldn't have an opinion on what you have no clue on.

Because you said it. Simple

Danielnino00:
He is poor in the national team and that's what that matters....
Ighalo and Iheanacho are our two main strikers and they struggle as lone strikers...Iheanacho in particular struggles due to lack of supplies from the midfield.he didn't have much problem with goalscoring at city cus there was enough suooky ..Ighalo is more used to playing with a partner since his Watford days with Troy Deneey..
That being said,it has already been proven that 3-5-2 is the ideal formation for the team...it will accommodate two strikers, keep our midfield tight,effectively utilize our full backs(Moses can even drop to Rwb or lwb) and still keep our defence tight...its effective for our quick paced counter attacking football... why the hell didn't Rohr use it....
the man is mad!

I totally agree we play with two strikers and I also totally agree we play that system but I don't agree we play Victor Moses as rwb or lwb. Mbanu!

Looking at that game, I understood why he used that system and I think it worked well until we conceeded a goal.

Croatia quickly parked the bus and relied on counter attacks and it worked for them.

somehow:
Did you watch costa rica vs Serbia?

Already l told you no.

Danielnino00:
Truth be told, Ighalo is very poot striker.. his goal return in the national team is bad... but I agree with you that Iheanacho wouldn't have done better if he had started ahead of Ighalo yesterday with that same lineup .. Iheanacho struggles as a lone striker everybody knows that...that's even the main reason Ighalo was recalled to the team after the South Africa game... the major mistakes Rohr made yesterday was starting shehu and playing Iwobi on the wing...it really affected our wing play... only Moses was effective on the wing.. Iwobi would have done better at amf while Etebo handled the wing. Ebuehi would have offered more offensively than shehu..


Seriously Rohr should take all the blame for the defeat.. if he repeat d same thing against Iceland, he must be fired...

I agree with you on everything but I don't agree Ighalo is a poor striker.

Maybe he is poor in the National team.

I want him to play tall players against Iceland because those guys are tall and rely on set piece.

somehow:
What were you responding to when you said "i no watch the costal rica match"?

About the movement of a certain player you mentioned in Costa Rica match.

edi287:
I just hope he and the likes of Ebere Eze don't get dissuaded by Aina getting dropped for WC.
Some might say it's crazy but these guys are young and will think like that

Hmmmmm! I don't think so, if we go far in this tournament, and that is why I am given all my support so far.

Criticizing the team without profounding Solutions is just not going to help the team.

However, Eze all pledged to play for us. We should invite him immediately after the world cup during our qualifiers.

Humility017:
abeg try rest...because you need am.

please better stick to scouting...players... because your analysis of the game is watery

Bhuuuhahaha! Empty barrel.

Humility017:
please bro...with all due respect....
keep quiet...
what are you saying that Ighalo did same?
i have been reading your comments since yesterday....all watery with no reason in it..

it is not a must you comment to defend mediocrity.... when last did Ighalo scored for the super eagles...?
after 7 matches still on goal drought and the foolish excuse we keep getting is that he was being played as a lone striker...
is he the only lone striker played in the world...?
same goal drought he had in Watford prior his departure...maybe we should blame that on him being starved of balls upfront...

please I am sorry if my response look abusive...

My friend, if you are becoulded by emotions to remit judgement, I have gone beyond that.

I don't care about what Ighalo played years ago, I am talking about what I saw yesterday which is fact.

You all shouting Ighalo didn't play well. Ok who will play well in that situation?

Na Iheanacho abi na Simy? Well, maybe simy can do well alone yesterday but I don't think Iheanacho will do nada yesterday. Fact.

Read my lips abi na finger again. Iheanacho will do nada if isolated like Ighalo yesterday.

Simy will do little too because he still needs support but Mikel didn't do anything to support or add pressure.

You people should cool down and read match with common sense before you start shouting this player no good.

The ball Ighalo took a weak shot was as a result of no Nigerian player in the box to receive a pass.

Anyway, make Rohr commot Ighalo put the player that rocks your boat so we go get peace for this place. Haba!

somehow:
Please describe the 2 shots on target you're talking about because the one i watched, i saw no 2 shots on target from Ighalo, only 1 weak header.
You didn't watch the match yet you think you have an opinion?

You mean I didn't watch the Nigerian match?

How many shots on goal did Ighalo have yesterday to start with?

Whether na with head or nose or mouth. How many?
