good....someone should please tell the nff
I can volunteer type this letter...if it's going to take time...

mumemma:
Ezenwa to start start

Na wa oooo.I hope we know this is Cameroun as in Cameroun!!!

guy relax....Cameroon dey chop bottle?
you guys are just scared unnecessarily

Nigerdeltaboi:
yes o , he needs to put up a five star performance or else !

I tell you.....even Nigerians will not forgive him
if he misbehave....himself.
I just pray everything works out for our good

Joebie:
Even the media have been making that mistake. Ifeanyi Matthew and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi are two different players. Both former U20 (Manu Garba's boys)

thanks bro....
I am just bothered about these Aina switch thing....

I thought pinnick now works in FIFA... can't him fast track Aina switch... iwobi switch also...took these route...

forgiveness:
After world cup ke! I think Onomah has not been approached by NFF. We need to cap dem as soon as possible.


Abraham can go to the world cup if he plays well and decides to play for Nigeria.

I will advice the nff do another UK camping....
just like the get together recently where Aina, Chuba and co....get to train wit the SE....early next year...
during one of the international break...by so doing we will likely get some of them...get to train and play wit the SE....

and then get possibly some of them ..in our hook...

tbaba1234:
The situation of Ola Aina is that we are waiting for official document from FIFA. We hope by today or tomorrow,we will have it - Gernot Rhor

FIFA is a problem on its...own
just to sign papers is now problem..same problem wit Nigeria bureaucracy

Joebie:
hahahahahaha.. oga u don start oh..

In the first place there is no player from that section in standby. Hence, you have not said anything new. I'm still waiting for your preferred choice of coach for our national teams, and his track record/achievement/credentials to back it up.. And the coach has to have applied.

STANDBY: Uche Agbo (Standard Liege, Belgium); Henry Onyekuru (Anderlecht FC, Belgium); Kenneth Omeruo (Chelsea FC, England); Aaron Samuel (CSKA Moscow, Russia); Alhassan Ibrahim (Akwa United); Stephen Eze (FC IfeanyiUbah); Ifeanyi Ifeanyi (Akwa United)

ohhh my badt
now I get....I was surprised
never read his name as among the 24 called players....

thanks for this info bro....

Nigerdeltaboi:
Rohr: Ezenwa will start on Friday. He had two good performances with the CHAN team and we are happy
Akpeyi is injured

ohh boi....

just hope the dude prove his fans right...

and grab these opportunity with both hands

komekn:
You do not appreciate his background or the circumstances surrounding it. It's not everything I can say here.

It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH RESPECT.

Do you know what it's like to be abandoned by your Father or have a Father who abused a mother. Add to that live and grow up outside Nigeria. You need to empathise and not jump to conclusions so quickly.

Ok...sir komekn...
I agree wit you....but I am not so pleased wit the path his career is heading...
he was a youngster wit so much promise

remember his game against beskitas in Europa games...

komekn:
I haven't spoken to Lukman but there is still hope. The one I'm not sure about is Dominic because right now he is making big waves. He has literally sent out Origi with his £10 million price tag, and become a regular in Liverpool.

I have since given up on solanke....
comsiderin the fact...that he is even light skinned and he now plays for one of English traditional clubs...(Liverpool , Manchester United etc)
so he is beyond our reach....he is another dele alli

forgiveness:
Sorry, you have not answered my question but you only made excuses.

Who no know say em no go play before? Why bring em in when em no go contribute anything tangible to the team?

I see. Dem wan share bonus?

I just dey ask oooo.

Lol.....
you never can tell....I still remember how we all fumble on Aaron Samuel invitation then by keshi....but right in the field the dude proved us wrong....

komekn:
Jordan Ibe situation is quite complicated, do not be too judgemental and presumptuous.

Ibe's mother separated from his biological Father at a very early age and remarried. Her husband Michael is Jamaican and there has been an almost zero Nigerian input into his life. In addition Michael brought Ibe up from a very young age, the only Father he has ever known is Michael.

It was never about the chance to play for England but he is just has no connection to Nigeria. You could blame his mother but then you don't what possible hell she went through with Ibe's biological Nigerian father.

I see a lot of bitter and damaged Nigerian origin kids who have been abandoned by thier Fathers. What do you expect them to think of Nigeria in those circumstances. Lots of love and affection

but the way he turned down Nigeria advances was an opportunity he threw away...
very few players like that....get to be convinced by a national team coach and assistant....
a wise lad will be indecisive....
it goes show...he has no respect for Nigeria...
he should stay in England..

komekn:
Since someone brought up the issue of tribalism. Is that not tribalism to name only the Urhobo boys on this matter.

Lol please just joking.

Lol....they're the ones I could remember
I have since relaxed on lookman reason because it is not gonna be easy getting him play for us...at all.

forgiveness:
Chai!

Out of the trio, we must try get Abraham and Onomah (dis boy is a beast), but nobody gree look em side since I don dey talk about am.

just relax....after the world cup and when it comes glaring that....there is no hope for them...in 3 lions they will look inwards
I pray...Aina achieve much wit super eagles and Nigera get to qualify....for world cup that will influence them....
getting aina play for us will go a long way get these boys

AIG07:
We need to hit this cameroonians with Early goal(s) to reformat and distabilise them.

I tell you....
early goals...we expose their defense
and create room for more deadly strikes

forgiveness:
What do we call it? Corruption, Nepotism, favourism etcetera!?

bro....don't be surprised he may not get to play...any part in the match...
just keep the bench warm

komekn:
Since someone brought up the issue of tribalism. Is that not tribalism to name only the Urhobo boys on this matter.

Lol

Lol....hahaha
you must be pulling my legs..bro
It didn't even occur to me that they're from same state....though i am not from delta state...I have never been there too

mumemma:
See them oooo...
So much strength...and fierce...Like they are going on a battle

so this is what you saw that makes you scared? bro...you need to relax...football is no longer played wit muscles....

forgiveness:
Some people think say everybody na mumu. Tomorrow if you question the inclusion of Ifeanyi Matthew who is playing in the Norwegian league over players in Belgium, Spain, Turkey or England, dem go tell you how he's a member of Super Eagles since ewa agoin from Benin Republic start to exist.

Corruption everywhere and dem wan make I pretend, na lie e no go work.

Oya, to the defenders of corruption, how Ifeanyi Matthew take enter team?

Na Massi or Mbappi of Nigeria?

probably that will be the handwork of salisu yusuf...you know he once coached him...
and have always been fond of him...

you shouldn't expect the assistants not to have a bit of influence on the team list

Truidstar:
Make una relax, I will repeat myself again, we will qualify with 2 games to spare. Zambia vs Algeria confirmed draw. Relax folks.

I share in your optimism my brother....
if care is not taken....there will be a reoccurence of what happened in Brussels few years ago....
under oliseh's belt as SE coach

oloriooko:
So much hype about 9ja team I can't see any serious team in this 9ja

bro....you need look again.. possible put on your glasses and look closely....
all I see in these lads are potentials

Nigerdeltaboi:
heard on Godwin enakhena show that a top official at the NFF Secretariat said Aina's clearance could be completed 'any moment from now'.

thanks for this.....

reason why I see these switch as not always easy...
the papers and procedures involved are way too much....
Dessers should be capped immediately after these Cameroon match...to avoid a similar route

Famocious:
He had his initiation ceremony into Super eagles today...probably has been cleared.

I pray it turns so....
I will be so glad should he get to play and also Nigeria qualifies....for the world cup through this match against Cameroon
that will give the likes of Tammy, ejaria, onomah and co food for thought....

Having a rethink about my prior line up

Akpeyi bearing last change according Rohr

Aina. Balogun. Ekong. Echijiele

Ndidi. ONazi
V. Moses. Mikel. Etebo

Nacho


If Rohr can risk omeruo and Ndidi at right back definitely I don't see reason for him not to risk a natural right back
Since Aina and Moses have played togther before ,then they should be a able to understand each other chemistry and Rohr has a special interest in Aina during the camp in UK.

Kind having different thought about our DM...


Ndidi and Onazi pivoting the two position then once in a while Ndidi can help in attacking... So far is not that discipline in green white green then onazi should sit back to shield the defense


Mikel should do his normal attacking midfielding and concentrate on unlocking the defence of the Cameroonians

V. Moses and Etebo should do the damage for us...

I having been thinking should nacho lead the attack? Or Ighalo? Then I will go for nacho... Cos

1. His appearance and his goal ration on national assignment
2. Working with vmoses Mikel and Etebo which has work in our last two world cup qualifiers
3. He got a fighting spirit.


On goalkeeping dept... According to some report Rohr said he does not know who will man the post...

Am thinking Ezenwa cos atleast he has been in the set up of eagles for some time now... he has some experience during the liga tour in Spain and I think he didn't disappoint...

Mr Akpeyi has a very 'good' record in conceeding in any National assignment... If he eventually man the post it will only take miracle for us not to conceed against the Cameroonians...

Substition

Don't think Mikel will be allow to play 90mins cos of fitness issue... Etebo will take his place then maybe musa will come in for him..

Nacho might be remove too... .then ighalo will take his place..

I'm wishing super Eagle of Nigeria maximum 3points come Friday...


Like Safarigirl... Me too dream about us winning

I wish we win come Friday...

no one knows if Aina have been cleared by FIFA....
FIFA is just annoying.....

fwesh3:
I saw this scoreline in my dream...i'm fucking scared mehn

bro...I think you need to have another nap...
hopefully the dream will be different this time..
me see nothing but victory...
early goals....will make it easy for Nigeria

Joebie:
Joel Obi makes Whoscored's best VI in Italy

I think should this guy keep up with this form forbidding any injury...
he should make rohr next list....

play week in week out....in Italy is no child's play....

Icon4s:
Bros that Benin game is not a true test o. The only save Ezenwa made all evening was the penalty save. I am not hating on him o. I am just saying it as it is. Compare that with the nature of oppositions Akpeyi has faced: Egypt in Alexandria, Algeria, Senegal and South Africa.

Akpeyi is not being given a fair assessment here honestly. I am not saying he is a fantastic goalkeeper but he is not as bad as people tag him to be here.

see sense in your point sir....
but he is just so jittery while on the post...fear all over his face....

that's what i don't like....a goalie should be bold and brave....

anyway...let rohr play whoever he deem best

Icon4s:
You want to start Awaziem at RB? No room for wild experiments in this game.

Remember what happened the last time we played Ndidi at RB?

It takes an experienced member of the team to switch positions like that. Like Omeruo playing RB against Algeria. Like also Shehu playing RB which is not his primary role (although he has played mostly RB for Nigeria than DM). Leon Balogun can also play RB. But not a newbie like Awaziem especially in a match of this calibre.

Plus I will pick Ndidi in the DM role over Onazi.
With Iwobi out I would move Etebo to LWF and play an Ndidi - Onazi (CM) midfield pair.

People clamouring for Mikel at CM, we need his creativity more in the AM position.
To unlock a stubborn defense you need very creative players in the AM/ Wing positions and Mikel is the most creative amongst our Midfielders.

Talking about Ezenwa, where were you when he was being treated like a piece of trash here. At least some of us stood up for Akpeyi.

yeah I was among those...who never wanted ezenwa and akpeyi near the eagles.....for reason that ezenwa wasn't the best in the domestic league....

but his performance against Benin made me....have a rethink...

at least he won't do another agbim on us....

for now....I think he is ahead...he should start If rohr deem it to be...


for your midfield pair...

you're right...onazi and ndidi will offer the much needed pace in these kind of match...
and etebo playing as winger wit V Moses gonna be deadly....


I think I like that....had it been Aina have been cleared by FIFA ....I don't mind him playing RB
he has a very good passing accuracy and ball control is top notch....

Petrobros:
Here we go again.

Lol...we're going nowhere bro me don't have anywhere to go... tired of movin around... ***winks

Victor Moses Confirms His Availability For World Cup Qualifiers Against Cameroon
Published: August 28, 2017
Chelsea right wing-back Victor Moses has confirmed his availability for Nigeria's crucial World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon early next month.
Shortly after helping the Blues win their second straight game in the Premier League, the Super Eagle took to social media to announce that he will soon join the national team at their get-together in Abuja.
Moses, a former England U17 international, has not featured for the Super Eagles in 2017, having pulled out of the international friendly versus Senegal in March and June's AFCON qualifier against South Africa owing to injury.
The Chelsea number 15 posted on Instagram : ''Off to join up with Nigeria for international duty after a massive 3 points today! #CFC ��''.
Since Moses made his debut for the national team, he has played in World Cup qualifiers against Namibia, Malawi (2), Kenya, Ethiopia (2) and Algeria.

Exclusive – FC Porto Snap Up Talented Nigerian Duo Kingsley Kuku & Isah Musa
August 27, 201701

The Nigerian contingent at FC Porto has swelled by two following the signing of two more Nigerians in Kingsley Kuku and Isah Musa, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

They are presently awaiting their visa at the Portuguese embassy in Abuja before they join the club to bring to five the Nigerian players on their books.

Chidozie Awaziem, Musa Yahaya and Chidera‎ Ezeh are the other Nigerians at the club, but only Yahaya is with the team where he is presently playing for the B team.

Kuku is a left footed forward who was cited by the club alongside Musa who is a pacy right wing back but can also play as a winger due to his fine ball playing abilities.

They were both picked up by scouts of the team during the annual Geelec scouting tournament in Keffi, Nasarawa State Nigeria earlier this year.

--OwnGoalNigeria

someone should please tell these young lads....that they need to seriously work hard...put in extra effort..
go extra mile to engage in individual personal training if they must make the mark.....

coming from Nigeria academy to break into a team like fc Porto...requires nothin but hardwork
