I still maintain that Enyeama, Ikeme and Uzoho will be our three goalkeepers in Russia

That one slot at the defense, belongs to Kevin Akpoguma, don't say I didn't tell u. This is so confidential but I just have to break it, talk is at advanced stage with him and he's given Rohr his words that if he remains injury free, he would honor a call up. Nff wouldn't wanna repeat same mistake that's why they have kept a sealed lip

At the midfield, it will be a fit Joel Obi and Iwobi. Iwobi won't be listed as a forward.

Forwards ; onyekuru will take the place of iwobi who I just took back to where he truly belongs while d remaining slot will be a battle between a fit Bazee and a rejuvenated Success Isaac. Rohr is so crazy about these two guys but while one has bn so unlucky with injuries, the other has been an unserious fellow though with an immense talent.

Mho
bro...you brought in good news....
bless you for this.

and for bazee and Isaac....I will still prefer we try also Dennis, yinka and kalu and see how good they're too....

FBs have the greatest chance to gatecrash. Rohr has been shopping for them. Any of them that perform well will most likely get the nod over the unimpressive experienced ones.

Rorh MAY want to see Aina at the right. Ebuehi at the left, and Shehu as DM. Well, that's what I would do.
yeah you're...right.

mind you a good performance from ebuehi or uzoho in our next friendly...means they will definetely be heading to Russia....

and for idowu he will definetely make the team....
elderson may go to Russia but definetely won't be starting matches...

(Photo) World Cup : Simulator Predicts Nigeria Will Face Argentina, England & Denmark In Group C



Published: November 18, 2017
Nigeria could face Argentina for the fifth time in the group stage of the World Cup if the simulation of the World Cup draw conducted by
allnigeriasoccer.com is anything to go by.
With seven months left before the tournament begins in Russia, the only thing left is for the thirty two qualified nations to discover their opponents in the group stage.
The Super Eagles were paired with Argentina, England and Denmark in Group C, while Brazil were drawn with Spain, Sweden and Australia in Group H, and the two groups are the strongest on paper.
Nigeria met Argentina in the group stage at the 1994, 2002, 2010 and 2014 World Cups, losing by the odd goal on each occasion, but will fancy their chances of beating the South Americans if they cross path again in Russia after thrashing the two-time world champions 4-2 in an international friendly in Krasnodar on Tuesday.
A star-studded Super Eagles featuring the likes of Austin Okocha, Finidi George,Nwankwo Kanu and Taribo West lost 4-1 to Denmark at the Stade de France in the second round of the 1998 World Cup, the only meeting between the two countries at the mundial.
Fifteen years ago, the three-time African champions played out a goalless draw with England in their final group game of the World Cup.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup draw will take place on December 1 at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia.

femidejulius:
They marched against Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and now Egypt is very weak and her economy struggling.

They marched against Muhamma Gaddafi of Libya and now the once thriving nation is a shadow of itself.

They marched against Ibrahim Babangida of Nigeria and then Sanni Abacha, the more wicked one came on board.

Why wait from Wednesday till today. When those military guys failed to convince Mugabe to resign, they are now trying to use protesters. You think Mugabe is bad, wait till you see the next guy emerge. Una go fear fear.

The silly West will be saying Mugabe is a dictator because he refused to bow down to them. Yet, the West are still supporting puppet sit tight rulers around the world. That was how they supported former Egypt president Hosni Mubarak for 33 years in office till few years ago when he became a casualty of the Arab Spring.

Even this Mugabe used to be a good boy when the West were able to control him. After 14 years as president of Zimbabwe, the was Knighted by the Queen of England and all Britons were happy. He wasn't a dictator then despite having spent 14 years as president. Then he did the unthinkable. He took the most fertile land from the whites and gave it to his people (90% of fertile land in Zimbabwe use to be in the hands of the minority whites) and then the celebrated Mugabe became a dictator who must go. Shame on Africans who let the West media manipulate them.
must he sit there for life.....
so because he did what was expected of any sane leader...he should now be a life president....?

Who Is On The Plane To Russia? 16 Players Assured Of Places In Nigeria World Cup Squad



Published: November 18, 2017
One of the noticeable highlights of Gernot Rohr's management in the series we witnessed was that he largely showed an unwavering loyalty in his choice of core players, less prone to tinkering, in such a way that has barely tried to improve on the fallout of the team's game-by-game exigencies.
While the midfield pivot of Ogenyi Onazi, Wilfred Ndidi and further forward,J ohn Obi Mikel largely remained unchanged, he had somewhat staunchly kept faith with the duo of Shehu Abdullahi and Elderson Echiejile irrespective of their deficiencies and also, William Troost-Ekong and his partner, Leon Balogun were always called upon to man the defense.
The jubilation and the flow of champagne had been at its utmost since Nigeria secured its participation at the biggest stage of international football billed for Russia next year but then as we savour and watch the dust settle on that stunning run with a return to club football, this review would just about postulate the sixteen dead-cert Eagles who are more than guaranteed a place on the plane to the Eurasian country — of course, barring any last-ditch irremediable development(s).

(1) John Obi Mikel — There is very little to suggest that the 30-year-old would not be leading out the Super Eagles in the World Cup tourney next year. Cohesion, incisiveness and coordination: he has these qualities in bountiful amounts.

(2)Victor Moses — Victor Moses is even more irremovable and the nub of the matter is simply that when he is on song, he gives the team that sprinkling of gold dust that evidently rubs off on his teammates and elevates them to a greater level. Rohr can ill-afford to leave him out.

(3)Alex Iwobi — The Super Eagles attack has bedded well with the explosiveness and trickery of the Arsenal youngster and perhaps, it is on such dispositions that the team would thrive in Russia.

(4)Leon Balogun — Much like his defensive partner, Troost-Ekong, Balogun has been almost impenetrable at the heart of the team's rear guard and would surely form part of it's defensive lynchpin next year.

(5)William Troost-Ekong — Troost-Ekong seamlessly complements Balogun. So what we are primed to continue witnessing in the 2018 showpiece is the duo of the aforementioned Balogun and Ekong reprising the inch-perfect roles they had played at the back line for the Super Eagles.

(6)Ogenyi Onazi — Very few would match his tenacity on the ball and his disposition in helping out defensively in adverse situations. Onazi would, no doubt, walk back into the team when fit.

(7)Wilfried Ndidi — Ndidi's aggressiveness, work rate and midfield agility picks him out as a surebet, even if idyllic passing ability counts against him. It is equally telling that the Leicester City midfielder has featured in almost all the Super Eagles qualification games.

(coolKelechi Iheanacho — Iheanacho has shown his brilliance and deadly instincts in large swathes for Nigeria and it is succinctly clear that on his day, the precocious starlet is simply unplayable.

(9)Moses Simon — He has handily held off Ahmed Musa, his direct rival for the left spot and has largely done well whenever called upon. A viable shoo-in for any kind of Super Eagles attack.

(10)Odion Ighalo — In Ighalo, the team's attack have just the perfect poacher to unlock the meanest of defences and we had all at different points witnessed the efficacy of his biggest powers.

(11)Ahmed Musa — Ahmed Musa would surely feel hard done by if he were to miss out of the travelling party but that is very unlikely. Even though he is not getting substantial game time with the team, one would hardly begrudge his quality.

(12) Elderson Echiejile — He might be much-maligned by the local faithfuls but it would be doing disservice to one of the long-serving members of this team. Come the turn of next year, a fit and performing Elderson would get his World Cup wish.

(13) Shehu Abdullahi — His versatility would likely prove crucial in getting him a place on the Russia plane. Having largely filled in well at right back for the team while naturally being a midfielder by trade, Rohr might yet call upon him at any given time.

(14) Ikechukwu Ezenwa — The jury is still out on which goalkeeper would be between the sticks for the Super Eagles but Ezenwa might just be the Occam's razor in a situation whereby Rohr is forced to make do with what he has at his disposal. Yet, the team's goalkeeper position is currently in the melting pot though.

15) Oghenekaro Etebo - The CD Feirense number ten would equally be on the plane because of his ability to thrive in all the positions in the midfield zone and attack.

16) Ola Aina : A no-brainer. The Chelsea product would act as back up option for the regular left back and right back and this makes him a useful option. Can also play in central defense and midfield.

nice one...in that forward role I will expect kayode to pick up the last slot...or even Paul or dessers....but i think kayode will likely pick the remaining spot.

while on the midfield.....
Joel obi will be a perfect notch....
I just pray rohr get to notice him....even though he may not get to play much games...but having such a creative player in the bench...is a plus..he can fit into mikel shoes....
i see his agent to be a lazy dude......can't he blow his hype...

and for the defense..role I still think we can get one of this German born prior the World cup......if none we can then try Uche Agbo..I am not just sold on him reason because of his quick propensity to get bookings...

Was Iwobi close to playing for the England National team before he played for Nigeria?

Without the National team Arsenal wouldn't have renewed his contract because he was never rated but now see what the national team did for his career.

Dude, talent wise, Aluko is never behind Iwobi.
please stop talking what you don't know...
even Scotland rarely call up players from their league for the national...team.
most of their players are mainly from the English championship just to tell you...how they lowly rate their league...and you now expects England to go after aluko all because he plays for rangers....

Plays well in the world cup and against big names[
Understand a bit of Russia, understands the weather from his stay here.

He's a pivotal part of the SE and has something in him that makes coaches call him to the camp, dunno what it it, but his teammates like him around.

Lastly, his loyalty which all coaches look for is unquestionable.

I repeat, unless he stops playing competitive football next year, he's going to Russia.

I think rohr should talk to him on the need to get a club come next January....even if it is a championship team.

That is why we need that AFCON qualifiers game against Seychelles. We start Ebuehi and Idowu and they are capped for life.

After that Seychelles game there is no other full international debut opportunity before the world cup.

Pinnick should go and withdraw his proposal to CAF.

Yes, he can. In short, Ebuehi played for his club on the LB sometimes.

I think I will have to agree with you on this.

and deji should be called up to just train with the super eagles at least to prepare him for the future...Qatar 2022.

It seems you don't understand my point. The formation we played against Argentina is meant a LWB and not the usual LB in a 4-3-3 formation. That was why Aina struggled to cope holistically in that new role. I am not say he is a bad player going forward but in that particular game, he did nothing offensively.

Now, let us go away from the LWB and back 3 defence to the usual 4 back defence known to us. I still feel I need to see him again in that role before drawing conclusion but before then Elderson or Brian have my nod.

However, I am convinced he is a better player at RB and I would like him to be played there first to compare his performance on both sides.
does ebuehi use both feet....?
if he does....we can as well ready him there against sychelles and then...use aina for the RB slot....
I expect us to whip Seychelles silly with this new formation they won't pose any threat at all......
