You all rooting for North Africans to excel at the Mundial are living in "fools paradise" ...

People that only flatter to deceive

Na for only Africa and their Home ground they get mouth

Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia all of them na big flops for world stage

North Africans can't beat even Tahiti convincingly not to talk more of Sweden, not to talk more of Spain or Portugal. Tunisia here is the worst culprit.

I will rather put my money on Togo or Angola or Zambia to give Africa a better performance if they are going to the world Cup than those pretenders.

I really wish they prove me wrong this year sha!

please let today be the last time you will quote me...
it seems you don't know how to pass your point across without resulting to insults...the fact that we all comment does not mean you should expect every one to reason same way wit you....

we all don't think alike...and don't expect me to pitch tenth wit you...and because I don't does not make you wiser....

Oshaniwa

modified: Shola and Uchebo also had decent games in some of our preWorld Cup matches, just that they didnt get enough time to impact on the world cup.

That said rewatch the Bosnia game and see just how vital Shola's introduction was, he held up the ball brilliantly

which decent game has uchebo? you mean the goal against Scotland...?
apart from that goal...he played trash that day....

how he made the team over imoh Ezekiel who despite being a second striker for his team in Belgium scored 12 goals and uchebo manage to get 5 for club de brugg

oshaniwa would have still make the team...he was a backup to elderson
but how Gabriel, agbim, uchebo made that team still a mystery

Kog45:
Well with intact 2013 afcon team with few changes at WC may be we would be talking about qtr final now.

Remember 2nd round record belonged to Westerhoff though Keshi equal it which to me is not a failure,hope Rohr would surpasses it cos anything short of qtr final not really good.

keshi team had the opportunity to move beyond the round of 16....but the team lack the quality and motivation....

keshi never helped in his players selection...players imoh Ezekiel,Kenneth otigba, hope akpan etc were ignored

Mickael2:
we made the round of 16 and barely lost out to France, wasn't that a success?

apart from babatunde. ...who else amongst the Rockies played really good football in that world cup...?
uchebo,Gabriel, nwafor, agbim,shola etc

Kog45:
Pls go back to WC cup team selection history not only in Nigeria but across the globe then you would agree with me.

no problem sir....
I see wisdom in your words though
remember the last keshi list was otherwise...
the likes of ideye,nosa igiebor and more were dropped for the likes of uchebo,Gabriel,nwafor,babatunde etc we never saw during the qualifiers..

TheSuperNerd:
I agree to this. Players like Hadraf (the no.7) and that no.11 and 10 are very good technically. But shaa making the Moroccan WC Squad will be hellish for most of those CHAN winning players from Morocco. Morocco has a very strong foreign contingent especially in their midfield. I reckon Morocco to have one of Africa's best midfield forces right now with Ziyech, El-Ahmadi, and Bossoufa

I have not been opportuned to watch Morocco team A play...going by you guys assertions here...it means that team is a bomb...and some persons are underrating them...

I see them posing a shocker in that world cup group...

TheSuperNerd:
^^^

That young Nigerian GK is Akpan David Udoh.... I have given him some reviews on this thread a few times.


He belongs to the Nigerian 2015 U-17 class.

I remember him...the lad was still in secondary school during that tourney...

pray he is well groomed...

TheSuperNerd:
According to ANS, it seems Daniel Akpeyi has also been invited for the friendlies in march.....

Ah well.... the experience crew right now.... They be like, "Well, we told you so...."

one slot just wasted on akpeyi...
hope rohr is not planning of taking him to the world cup....

Kog45:
Definitely 35 man list would be rolled out but just 5 slots remain to grab for fringe and new players .

says who?
sir mind you...we gonna see lot of changes prior the tournament...though I am so happy for musa......pray he stay fit..

tbaba1234:
CHAN is a low level tournament. Players that shine in CHAN might not shine with better teams. Morocco already has one of the strongest African side. Remember, they conceded no goal in WC qualifying.

Ejike Uzeonyi was looking like lionel messi in CHAN. When he faced better opposition, he was no where.

I understand...you bro...

but mind you..that Morocco team in the last Chan was way better and more technical than the men keshi paraded in south Africa Chan of 2014....

for a player to score 9 goals in such a tourney is not an easy fit.
there will always be like 2-4 players to be drafted into the main team from that Morocco team I saw in Chan...

had it been Nigeria paraded such a team I tell you....it would be easy for rohr to pick at least 2 players into the main team....

I understand your stance about ejike...but in that Morocco team....you will see players of better quality and techniques than him...

Kog45:
Pls i want us to be realistic when it comes to considering players for certain positions.

Henry Oyekwuru no doubt a good player scoring goals with ease in Belgium league but a very fringe player in Super eagles meaning his place in 23 man list is not sure even in his normal position talk less of CF.

We know players Rohr rate unless we don't want to say it,so Oyekwuru will need to work extremely hard to make the team and making the team would not be as CF,Rohr will never try it.

Hope you remember that Oyekwuru couldn't do it as CF in his club and his coach pointed it out but as a winger the guy is damn good.

In eagle he has good competitors in Simeon Moses, Ahmed Musa,Victor Moses and possibly Alex Iwobi,just to tell you making the team is a big task for him.Remember the same player is out for now due to injury.

yeah...since rohr gonna draft from a 35 man list...the possibility of him.making the cut...is there...

he is a very ambitious player...someone who has lofty dreams and he is hardworking...I believe he gonna fight for his place...

LieDetector:

hope you're not being pessimistic?

same amokachi made Similiar statement...
I believe same...Africa teams gonna shock the world come June/July this year.

i foresee the possibility of either Nigeria or morocco posing a surprise to many....

tbaba1234:
My predictions for the WC groups (My African bias is evident)

A: Uruguay Egypt
B: Portugal Morocco (Spain knocked out, first shock)
C: France Peru
D: Nigeria, Croatia
E. Brazil, Switzerland
F: Germany, Mexico
G: Belgium, England
H: Senegal Columbia

you're not far from the truth Big bro...
I told someone Morocco likely to qualify from that group...they're Africa favorite in the mundial....going by what I saw their CHAN team play....
renard (Morocco team A coach) just need to absolve some of the CHAN team players into the main team and the Morocco world cup team will be a hit...

unlike your prediction I see Spain going wit Morocco into the second round...

for the first time africa likely gonna get up to 4 teams in the round of 16.....
how I wish Tunisia was as strong as Morocco England won't qualify from that group....

Afrocentric:
I swear brother, this is my weakness. If I'm too close to any lady I will start developing love for then, even if I never love them initially

that's not problem bro....off course it happens to every one....reason why you see sometimes married women cheating wit their colleagues in the office....

whom you spend time wit...you begin to have affection towards...that's why you hear counsellors advising spouses to share same bedroom and it's likes...

that's why I believe so many don't understand how the word "love" works...
you can get to love any one you take time to understand and spend time wit....

forgiveness:
It means we are going to the world Cup with 1 striker.

and that does not matter...provided the other two nancho and Henry can score goals as well even better than the lone striker....

don't forget nancho can also comfortably play as a CF....so no fuss there.

XhosaNostra:
Depends on the "situation" & on whether the feelings are mutual or not.

Because there's a very thin line between resolution, foolishness & having stalkerish tendencies. Sometimes you just let go. Not because you don't care, but for your own peace of mind. Life is too short. After all, nothing is guaranteed, so why waste time trying time after time? No thanks.

don't you think that what we call love most times emanate from excessive familiarity and intimacy....?
you tend to start growing feelings for people when you keep spending more time wit them especially when you both share a common interests,likes and both compatible

chrisooblog:
exactly o no be komekn dey hype am already but for the sake of facts he has scored 2 goals so far this season in the fa cup

same game nancho scored two goals and made an assist...

I just don't wanna join issues wit some peeps here....because from their comment you will clearly understand what they stood for.

Leicester last match...prior this one..the goal vardy scored...nancho worked it out..the diabete of a guy was absent...
I see him as a flash in pan and he is no way close to nancho qualities...

soetanoreoluwa:
Definitely with the look of things that slot Stil open..
Martins Stil have chance likewise ogbeche they are both in form...
Ideye just need to set the ball rolling... With goals added to his game...

In my opinion I will add Martins n ogbeche if ideye come out good great.. And let see how they come out in training.
No close door for any player so far you are Stil very active and in form and also in coach 's plan you are good to go.

I don't mind Henry be added as the 3ed striker...being that musa gonna likely make the team....
so Henry can be registered as the 3rd striker coupled wit his abilities to play as a winger too....

the CF....should be ighalo, nancho and Henry....
while Moses, Simon, iwobi, Musa,Etebo can come in as wingers

jihday:
I think I'm with you on this, minus ogbeche scoring in the Dutch league won't sway me. see depay and klassen guys who set the Dutch league on fire struggled with goals in the epl

meaning players like Fred Friday,dessers and umar sadiq should be ignored should they set the Dutch league on fire?

how you guys rate a player plying his trade in China wit 7-8 Chinese players in each team starting 11 over the Dutch league leave me baffled....

if martins is to be in the picture...nothing should prevent ogbeche from being invited....

Oladimejyy:
Please how is the mums fault,she loved him wholeheartedly because he's her only child

this is one of the aftermath of single parenting or divorce

the bolded makes me laugh...

Maradona Worried Over Argentina Team : We Almost Conceded Eight Goals Against Nigeria


Legendary Argentina midfielder Diego Maradona believes that the Argentina national team has lost its former glory and has called current manager Jorge Sampaoli a liar for claiming he does not have a genuine number nine in the squad.
The former Barcelona and Napoli hero pointed out that Argentina would have conceded eight goals in their last friendly against the Super Eagles and the team rely too much on Messi to win.
''Today, except for Messi, they have lost respect for the team's jersey,'' Maradona told Diario Popular.
''Look at what happened in the last game with Nigeria, we almost conceded eight goals, please, you know what happened in my time in a match like that. "

Maradona added : ''Pipa' (Gonzalo Higuain) is ten times better, so for me he has to have another chance, but that boy (Sampaoli) does not know anything, what he does know is going to eat at friends' house..''

The 1986 World Cup winner said that Carlos Tevez deserves to be called up to the national team : It's not a debate, we have nothing else, we're scratching the stones to get a nine, one that overflows, Carlitos also has the sacred fire, it's contagious."

A brace from Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi plus additional tallies from Amkar Perm's Brian Idowu and Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho earned the Super Eagles a 4-2 win over Argentina in Southern Russia on November 14.

Sir am indeed sorry if you see my comment as chiding but we need to encourage our leagues.

no problem sir...so sorry for the way I replied...especially wit my use of words...I was very angry then...

it is because of reason to support our own that's why we are here.... boldly anywhere whenever people ask me which team fan am I...I first tell them I am a super eagles fan prior telling them I am a Chelsea fan too.

I remember in one of the week during the CHAN tourney I sacrificed one of chelsea's match just to watch the chan team play...

when the npfl started in 2003 under the leadership of chief obaseki the league was in gradual progression....to the extent that globacom and mtn started battling for the sponsorship right....

I remember how I sit glued to the NTA sport news wit Paul ogazi to watch the npfl highlights...then insurance of Benin and enyimba of aba were my club....complete sports and today sports I never missed...
then we had governors who love football...and see the sponsorship of this clubs as no big deal...

the problem have suffered recently and the gradual decline is poor management problem....just yesterday I read the NBC will be sponsoring the super eagles to the tune of 2.5B naira...this you will agree wit me..became a reality because of the recent success and organization of the super eagles team....same fate could befall the npfl clubs should the league become more organised...even wit little pay...the league can become attractive..

komekn:
FABULOUS teenager getting a start in goal is very hard to come by. He must have clear cut outstanding ability, this is La Liga. Not just potential but ability, Seedorf is a quality astute manager and player. And if he puts him in goal then this kid is quality.

Most of our senior goalkeepers if not all are currently far from that level.

I had too look through this comment over and over again...to be sure if you truly put up this words...

you really amaze me...today.
those words are too notch

Kog45:
My man you don't need to be tired for some people cos they asked simple question about fixtures of Nigeria teams representing them at CAF competitions.

If you cannot watch it others will do and doesn't mean they don't know football or they don't know what they are doing,so let them continue watching it.

We cannot have the same attitudes towards Nigeria club sides, so those who are passionate about the teams,pls leave them and let them be watching it like that,it's our own and the league must grow so that our national teams would always come out stronger.

I.know you watched naught football Leicester played yesterday just in the name of foreign clubs,pls let's continue supporting our own even if you are tired but those that are not tired should be encourage not discouraged.

you're talking as if...I am stopping you and others from watching it...

I have no right over your televisions or what you intend do wit your spare time...you've no right to chide me over my opinion.

my response was directed at someone else comment.

jihday:
lol, so if you were a coach you'll take the game to them and get your ass whooped 7-2 like stoke city, even world class coaches like Mou, Conte end Wenger dey park bus.

better to attack and get whipped than sit out play some boring kind of football and still get disgraced....

this one was a disgrace.....

MetalJigsaw:
Forget those execrable teams. Are you not tired of the dismality and heartbreaks they dish out to you people?

Lol....I tire for some people...

why on earth will I sit glued to the TV to watch some naughty kind of football....
something really need to be done about that league......
just take a look at how the Morocco team played....that's the result of a functional league

elyte89:
Na dt NACHO WAS POOR some monikers for this thread no WAN HEAR AT ALL,dey term it as hate,as ppu dey behave here self, I will begin to ANTAGONISE NACHO whenever he's on Leicester city shirt, but for super eagles,na my big fan

Komekn,mikeal2,goldfish80,and oda iheanacho "pressumed " HATERS,u now av a broda,welcome me officially to ur club

c'mon stay where you are...what are you going to do in that club?

the whole of Leicester team played badly...why on earth should a team be walloped 5 goals to 1 and you expect nancho to do the magic...and play differently....

any team playing Manchester city should be more offensive minded take the game to them and not play the leicester kind of football

LieDetector:
lol. This is the case of a typical Nigerian making excuses for his compatriot. Unless you're a backroom staff at Leicester city or that Puel sometimes confides in you, I would consider those excuses baseless.

thought the diabete guy will save them from loosing the match....
mtcheew.....

I care less about what she did, and don't remember how I was justifying the act.

it's okay....
