Danycrusoe:
I heard the Nigeria v Egypt friendly will be played on this..... pitch? Farm? Bush? A combination of all

It can be worked on before then.

TheGoodJoe:
Very sorry for your loss. I am dealing with the same heartache. I lost my dad about a month now. During the end of October and it has been hectic. I pray God gives you and your family the strength to bear this painful loss.

I also pray God console you and your family.

komekn:
Agreed 100%

It is ludicrous for us to be using age as a standard when we all know that age cheating is in our DNA.

Firstly, we have no automatic birth data capture so nobody born in Nigeria can have any authentic verifiable age certification. Even our Presidents age is up for question.

Even the MRI is not 100% fool proof as it is an indicative component giving conclusive evidence of what age range you most likely are. Not your actual age.

Age in this regard should never be a yardstick particularly in Nigeria. For goodness sake I have known guys who got married to females older than themselves but it was too late when they found out. Pikins don enter.

Honestly, it is indeed ludicrous to use age as a standard to discredit players.

You are right on point.

junnyjake:
Hahahaha, in place of Moses Simon right??

No. It is rather in place of Iheanacho because Bazee is a SS and that's where Iheanacho places. chai!

edi287:
Ayo aka wAyo . He's like the Forgiveness of CE.

I am That I am. I no bi God oo but I am Forgiveness. Any other na.

MetalJigsaw:
That guy is blazing hot! I watched the video of his last few goals... clinical finishing! very Impressive.
The number of goals he's scored is almost times two of his appearances for his club this season.


He's the most in form Nigerian attacker right now.

Ogbeche has being consistent for the past 5 years.

He scored 14,12 &10 goals in the last 4 season save last season but the problem with many is his age. They use age to dismerit and disqualify any player they don't want. Age is nothing but a number if an old player is performing better than a younge player.

Certitude:
He doesn't have more years to offer us coupled with the fact that he is been off the team for very long. So what happens after the WC. It seems to me like hiring mercenaries.

Pls, list the ones that have more years and tell us what they are doing now to show signs of better years.

komekn:
You can not ignore him.

We haven't set any benchmark that restricts players.

I watched Ogbeche when he played for Middlesbrough and he looked quite decent. The only problem is that the Eredivisie is one of the easiest league to score in. Nonetheless, his scoring rate cannot be ignored.

Well said.

tbaba1234:
Sarenren-Bazee is back..

This guy sure pass to go WC.

Certitude:
I kinda disagree.

Why?

Certitude:
Bad day for me as I lost my dear father this morning.

Sorry oooo. May our gracious God console you.

Joebie:
Ogbeche won't stop scoring until Rohr invites him

Vitese 2-2 WillenII

There was a time I could not understand why Ogbeche was never invited despite his performance at PSG after he went to WC.

I think if he continues to score, Rohr should give him chance to prove himself.

Barcelona In Attendace As Super Eagle Joel Obi Stars Against Lazio

Barcelona In Attendace As Super Eagle Joel Obi Stars Against Lazio
Attacking midfielder Joel Obi showed off his skills to Barcelona representatives during Torino's impressive 3-1 win at Lazio on game week 16 in the Italian Serie A on Monday, December 11.

According to Sportmediaset, making reference to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, technical secretary of Barcelona Robert Fernandez and one of his scouts closely followed the match at Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

And it is being suggested that Spanish midfielder Luis Alberto, wearing the number 18 jersey for Lazio, was the main attraction.

Joel Obi has thrived for Torino in the current season, having been directly involved in five goals (3 goals, 2 assists) in ten appearances across all competitions.

The Nigeria international played well following his introduction for the last fifteen minutes against the Biancocelesti.

He is contracted to Torino until the summer of 2019.

I don't the best is what youthink it is based on these statistics.

Catch up on the Nigerian players who scored for their teams in Europe on Tuesday.

Abdul Ajagun was among the goals as KV Kortrijk outclassed visiting team, KAA Gent 4-1 in the Belgian top flight.

The attacking midfielder added his side's third goal of the encounter before providing the assist for KV Kortrijk 's fourth goal scored by Stojanović with 16 minutes left on the clock.

Anderson Esiti and Samuel Kalu were in action for the visitors, the latter lasting for 70 minutes while the former featured for the entire duration of the game.

Samuel Kalu and Moses Simon, who both started on the bench were thrown into the fray, in the 68th and 72nd minute respectively.

Former Flying Eagles invitee Freddie Ladapo helped Crystal Palace U23s beat Cardiff U23s 4-2 in the Professional Development League. The 24-year old attacker struck in the 89th minute to make sure of the points.

In the Emirates FA Cup second round replay, Inih Effiong was on target for Woking in their 5-2 loss to Peterborough United at ABAX Stadium.

The striker opened the scoring for Woking with barely 19 minutes played before the hosts turned the game on its head.

BascoVanVeli:
Good advice but why call Rohr a prankster?

Hahaha!

Mujtahida:
I can't for the life of me know why Shehu had to play that match. Not pranks by Rohr though. Pranks for what na?

When I dey talk, people think say I dey craze. Now, eyes go clear.

I still insist our players must be lectured about the rules of the game prior to the WC else we go hear am if Akpeyi do the same mistake or if Shehu tries to retaliate instead of dramatising the whole issue.

Humility017:
I tell you....I remember that day how oga icon and his crew jump to defend rohr for benching ebuehi...

even when everyone here was citing reasons why the young man should have played instead so as to better assess him.....

but oga rohr unwilling to take risk...still went ahead field shehu and that almost cost us the world cup.....
mtcheeew ....

Na common sense to use Ebuehi but....anyway this is another eye opener.

Oasis007:


Nothing gives Forgiveness than this kinda News!

I know dem good boiiis ballers. Ajagun is among.

tbaba1234:
Ajagun with a terrific goal

That's my boiiiii.

edi287:
Didn't score or assist to be fair...

It doesn't matter. It is on record that he Martins was part of the team that qualified us to the WC.

Abi no bi for the same match we don lose our unbeaten runs?

Joebie:
Yes new competition can help in bringing out the best in what we have

Correct. 100/100.

nelszx:
Yes it was actually against Swaziland away

Every matches played count. That's why I said Martins played part in our qualification to the WC. EOD

FIFA FINES NIGERIA FOR USE OF INELIGIBLE PLAYER IN SHEHU ABDULLAHI AGAINST ALGERIA.


World football governing body FIFA has sanctioned Nigeria for fielding an ineligible player in Shehu Abdullahi in their final FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifiers tie against Algeria on the 10th of November 2017 in Constantine.
Abdullahi who played the entire duration of the above mentioned game and even gave away the penalty, which Algeria converted to draw 1-1 isn’t eligible for the game after picking up two separate caution in two separate games of the same competition.
He was supposed to be suspended for the game but Nigeria fielded him, and FIFA have now confirmed a fine on Nigeria following the recent meeting of the Disciplinary Committee earlier today.
Nigeria were fined CHF 6,000 with FIFA also awarding Algeria three points and three goals, which means the game which ended 1-1 is now recorded as 3-0 in favour of Algeria.
However the victory awarded to Algeria, has no implication on the final standings of the group as Nigeria have already qualified for the World Cup, while Algeria were confirmed eliminated before the game.

This is what you get when you are too sentimental about a player.

Ebuehi suppose start and finish that match but the coach was busy playing pranks.

Thank God we have already qualified else the second best could have just replaced us if the 3 point will make dem top the league.

terzurum5:
I am one of those who is impressed with what Alampasu has been doing in training during camping and the performance of Uzoho for both Club and 45minutes debut for the Super Eagles. However, I refuse to rule out Vincent Enyeama's return because we need the best for that position.

Now come to think of the options available to us which are;
1. Akpeyi
2. Ezenwa
3. ***Uzoho*** (The anointed)
4. Alampasu

are you seen what I am seen?

If we decide to go with Uzoho and something happens. Who steps in for him, baring any injury or red card?

Common we need Vincent Enyeama.

Unless Enyaema or Rohr tells me Enyeama is not coming back else I will keep on expecting him.

I have never taken any anti Enyeama return Journalists serious. Let the news come from the right source first.

All these goalkeepers should be given the chance to prove themselves again. Na only 3 matches we need to test each for 45 minutes against top teams and then we can decide who is better.

How can I believe a bench warmer in a local league is better than a regular in the same league without seeing both play? A case btw Ezenwa and Ajiboye?

How can we tell who is better btw a bench warmer/first team squad player in an European club and a bench warmer in our local league? A case btw Alampasu and Ezenwa?


How can we emphatically say a division 3 goalkeeper is better than a regular goalkeeper in Europe? A case btw Uzoho and Dele Aiyenugba/Nwofolor.


How can i agree a goalkeeper with a team in first division is lesser than a goalkeeper in division 3? A case btw Alampasu and Uzoho.

Enyeama no get comma.

How can we say one is better than one without given fair share chance to one?

With an open mind, I say give all these goalkeepers chance to prove themselves and choose the best.

People should not use any more mischievous criteria to disqualify or qualify a goalkeeper.

goldfish80:
Moses was dire in the game against Iran. He touched he ball just 13 times in his time on the pitch. He deservedly lost his place in the team afterwards.
I even forgot to add Mikel Obi himself didn't exactly cover himself in glory @ that world cup. He was as average as others, you may not want to admit it, but you can't prove me wrong.

I agree to your humble submissions.

ChrisKels:
A Pointer ; please what's Deportivo B's position in the Segunda B? Did u know that Uzoho, with his heroics between the sticks, is on the verge of promoting his team to the Segunda division where Ondoa is a bench warmer?

Dude didn't get demoted because he was poor, only the coach knows why he sent him back to the B team. He is definitely better than Pantillimon and will be taking Panti's place in the first team to contend properly for the first choice when Panti's loan expires by the end of the season.

Dude is also about the best goalie in the division he currently plies his trade. 7cleansheets in 10 appearances no be beans. Even Enyeama who just came back, conceded in a division lower than this Segunda B. Not comparing the two but if Enyeama failed to turn up, Uzoho gets my nod.

Playing in division three can't be the yardstick to measure performance and get selected for a whole SE.

I will prefer he sits on the bench of his team first team in the la liga.

Kog45:
My man it has always been 50 50 Barca and Chelsea,so why bye bye

Na my own be dat oooo.

elunico:
I have a question to ask. Is this the time to go about "looking for the best?" or is this the time for us to "bring out the best in what we already have?"

Kratoss, Kog45, Safarigirl, Mujtahida, TheGoodJoe, Komekn, Jihady, Icon4s, Icon79, Soetanoreoluwa, elyte89, Goke7, Jobie, Forgiveness, Somehow, goldfish80, Tbaba1234 + others who's got a thing to say.

It is indeed about bringing out the best from the best. Kpoin

Joel obi was a 75mins sub as his Torino side beat Lazio in Rome. Obi has a 6.0 rating

Lazio 1-3 Torino.

Kayode not in match day squad as his Liga side Girona secured a vital three points away from home.

Español 0-1 Girona

Awaziem conspicuously missing from the match day squad as his Nantes side succumbs to OGC Nice. He initially made the starting lineup but was later dropped after picking a late injury during warm-ups before match.

Nantes 1-2 Nice

Etebo was the worst outfield player for his side, with a rating 5.9, as they lost away from home at Guimares. He played as the second striker. His compatriot (alampasu) at the Portuguese team, once again didn't make the match day squad.

Guimares 1-0 feirense

Kayode still out due to injury.
