So, you didn't see Okon, Ofoborh, Dele, Kingsley, Makanjuola etc, abi?

What do I expect from someone who claimed Etebo can't pass and Moses didn't create one chance, huh?

compare those players to the ones you saw the Senegalese and Mali team paraded...at the last under 20 world cup.

before I forget...pls tell Etebo to stay clear of our free kicks whenever Moses Simon is in the field playing.
Simon is a better free kick taker

ROHR WANTS NO FURTHER DISTRACTIONS AS EAGLES FOCUS ON MADAGASCAR

Super Eagles Head Coach Genort Rohr wants all the distractions caused by the dispute over allowances to be settled finally before Nigeria roll out tank against Madagascar in the last Group B clash on Sunday.

Speaking yesterday in Alexandria, the Franco-German gaffer said in as much as Nigeria has began the group phase very well, nothing should be allowed to put a wedge on Eagles good fortunes.

“I hope that the things that were decided yesterday (Wednesday) will be done so that everybody can focus on the next game (against Madagascar),” he stated.
Rohr insisted that the decision taking on Wednesday by Eagles before the game against Guinea, should help to stem any further bickery over bonuses and allowances.

Leganes of Spain defender Kenneth Omeruo’s header in the 73rd minute off the corner kick by Moses Simon was all that Nigeria needed to pick maximum points from Guinea’s Syli National and the ticket to the Round of 16.

NIGERIA TO PLAY ANY OF GROUP A, C OR D THIRD PLACEDTEAMS

Lagos – The Super Eagles will play their Round of 16 match against any of the third placed teams in Group A, C or D, if
they top Group B of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria currently top the group with six points having won the two games played. They defeated Burundi 1-0 on Saturday and also beat Guinea by the same margin on Wednesday. Madagascar, Nigeria’s last group opponent on Sunday are second on four points. They drew 2-2 with Guinea last Saturday and beat Burundi 1-0 on Thursday. Guinea are third with a point, having lost a game and drew the other. Burundi with a mathematical chance of reaching the Round of 16 provided they beat Guinea on Sunday are pointless having lost the two games played.
According to the tournament fixture, the team that wins Group B, will play one of the third best placed teams in either Group A, C or D.
After two matches, Uganda or Zimbabwe or DR Congo may place third in Group A, while in Group C, either Kenya or Tanzania may place third and likely Group D third placed teams remains sketchy since they’ve each played a game. The group D teams will play their second games today.
Commenting on this, Taiwo Oloyede, ex-international says, “The Super Eagles should be prepared to face any team if they hope to lift their fourth AFCON title this time around in Egypt.
“The players are there and the technical crew should be able to get their acts together and use the best selection for the team’s matches.”

ETEBO: MIKEL ALWAYS MOTIVATES US ON AND OFF THE PITCH

Of the line-up that started Nigeria’s 1-0 win against Burundi last Saturday, coach Gernot Rohr dropped five players in Wednesday’s second Group B match against Guinea, including his influential skipper John Obi Mikel.

The Chelsea legend who is participating in his fifth AFCON was dropped in favor of Alex Iwobi in the play-making position.

Stoke City star Oghenekaro Etebo has revealed that Mikel always motivates the players whether or not he’s on the pitch.

‘’I must tell you he is a good leader, quality leader for that matter even when he is not on the pitch, he always encourages everyone,’’ Etebo said in the mixed zone.

‘’The most important thing is that every team that wants to succeed sticks together because that’s what the manager use to say, whoever is playing or not.’’

The Super Eagles have been brilliant in defence so far at the AFCON, posting two shut-outs in back-to-back matches, but have struggled to break down the opposition having scored only two goals.

‘’The most important is that we get the three points, you saw the game between Ghana and Benin, they had a a 2-2 draw. Even if you score one goal and you have three points, it is very important and it’s vital.

‘’That doesn’t count if you score three, four or five goals, the most important is to get a win and three points,’’ added Etebo.

On the Super Eagles advancing to the last 16 with a game to spare, the Nigeria number 8 said : ‘’I am excited about it, not only just me but the nation is excited about it.’’

AFCON 2019: WE STILL HAVE NIGERIA TO THINK ABOUT - MADAGASCAR COACH.

The Barea won their first ever game in Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) history and also kept their first clean sheet in the competition

Madagascar coach Nicolas Dupuis is overjoyed after his team recorded their maiden Afcon win on Thursday.

The island nation defeated Burundi 1-0, courtesy of a fantastic 76th-minute free-kick from Marco Ilaimaharita in their second Group B game.

The victory at the Alexandria Stadium comes a day after Madagascar celebrated their 59th Independence Day.

After seeing off the ‘tough’ challenge from Burundi, Dupuis said he is pleased with the team's hard-fought victory as they edge closer to securing a spot in the last-16 round.

“I am so happy because of this victory. It was our first in the history of the Afcon and we worked hard for it," Dupuis said after the game.

"It was not an easy match because Burundi gave us a tough time especially in the second half.

“But we can be proud of our efforts, we can be proud of what we achieved but the work is not yet over. We still have Nigeria to think about.”

Madagascar are second in Group B with four points after two matches, two points behind leaders Nigeria.

They face the Super Eagles for their final group fixture in Alexandria on Saturday

EGYPTIANS LAMBAST NIGERIA FOOTBALLERS OVERFREQUENT PROTESTS

some Egyptian fans feel the frequent reports of protests by Nigerian players about non-payment of match allowances and bonuses are not doing the African continent any good.

Within the last two months, Nigerian teams taking part in international competitions have protested over alleged non-payment of entitlements by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

From the Flying Eagles’ participation at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland, the Super Falcons involvement at the yet to be concluded FIFA Women’s World Cup in France and the Super Eagles’ campaign in the Egypt 2019 AFCON, it has been one squabble over alleged unpaid allowances or another.

At the Cairo Stadium on Wednesday night, where the Pharaohs of Egypt defeated Congo 2-0 to move into the round of 16, the issue of Super Eagles’ protests over unpaid wages was the major topic by some of the fans.

Those who spoke with The Guardian carpeted the Nigerian players for turning their participation at major championships into ‘one competition, one protest.’

“This is becoming too frequent an issue in Nigerian football and I think it is not doing Africa’s image any good,” one of the fans, who identified himself as Ali told The Guardian at the Cairo stadium.

“As a national team player, I think Nigerian players are not behaving well by bring issues of unpaid allowances and bonuses to public domain every time they are on major competitions. There are other countries taking part in the AFCON, and it is only Nigerian players who are crying loud over unpaid match allowances. We had such situations recently with the U-20 (Flying Eagles), who refused to vacate their hotel after crashing out in Poland. It was followed by the Super Falcons in France. Now, we are hearing that your players (Super Eagles) are complaining in their hotel in Alexandra. I believe it is not only Nigeria that has financial problem. Your footballers should think of how to help your nation grow because playing for the national teams help their career as well.”

Ali continues: “Here in Egypt, Mo Salah is not getting much in terms of financial reward from the national team, yet he has built schools and hospitals for the people. He even helped the government in fixing the roads. That is what your players should be emulating, not issues of unpaid bonuses and allowances all the time.”

Another fan, Emerek said: “I am sure your players are always protesting because they feel the officials are making so much money in the football house. In that case, I think the government should try to sanitise the system.

But to be sincere, this issue of protest by your national team players during major competitions is becoming a major embarrassment to Africa.”

Sporting Charleroi frontman Victor Osimhen suffered an injury scare during the Super Eagles workout at the Arab Academy of Science and Technology and Maritime Transport on Thursday, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

Osimhen who was lively in training today felt his groin after powering a shot past goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa in the opposing goal.

After the goal, the young striker went to the deck and was attended to by the medical team under the watchful eye of head coach Gernot Rohr.

The good news here is that the striker got up after receiving medical attention and continued with the training session.

Osimhen has yet to appear for the Super Eagles at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations but could be given a run-out against Madagascar on Sunday evening as the Gernot Rohr-led side are already through to the last sixteen.

Madagascar have moved to second on the table after beating Burundi 1-0 in their second Group B fixture played today.

the lad could just steal the show against madagascar and that will be it...

ighalo messed up with that ball.... had it been musa scored that goal; that would opened the guinea defense as they will troop out to attack and who knows ighalo would have scored his second in the tournament...

TheSuperNerd:
More Thoughts on Rohr at the AFCON

I feel the team ought to be braver under Rohr. To be honest, I didn't see the need having both Etebo and Ndidi on the field against Burundi.

I knew it was unbeaten Burundi but again we are classes upon classes above them. When Mikel was messing things up in the AM role, I would have suggested Rohr shifts him backwards to the Deep lying CM role, alongside DM Ndidi, to calm things, settle in and dictate the game's flow from there. Move Iwobi to the AM as he did anyway and bring in Musa. The culprit will now be Etebo to drop to the bench not because he was having a bad game but because Nigeria had to take offensive control and truly rip apart the opponents.

Rohr needs to be braver offensively and look at at the big picture of making us a consistently fluid passing side creating chances upon chances upon chances and upon chances.
That way I don't even care if Ighalo or anyone leading the line will miss one or two big chances because I know we will have and create more. That way we also boost our chances against the other top teams where chances don't easily come by unless you deliberately create them.
We did create chances against Guinea though but we can do much much better offensively. Imagine a Mikel-Iwobi Combo with NDIDI doing the dirty works helped by Mikel's deep positional discipline as DLP/Regista helping out in defence too.

We need to be more assertive on the scoreboard and not just in tackling and defensive stats which makes us settle for just 1-0 scorelines.

well said...I will really love to see a midfield combo of ndidi, mikel and iwobi...really wanna watch how creative that would be....

I believe with such combo our wingers and striker will get more killer passes and we'll sprint balls.....

We will celebrate the win, but if you look closely there was no atom of creativity in the team, the game was overall boring, the coach only sets up his team to defend and nothing more. If we play against a more attacking team, am afraid we will crack.

exactly..
our defense saved us today.

I am so surprised I am expecting the team to make an improvement on the play against burundi but to my disappointment it was not so.....

mikel would have even done better today than iwobi...

I am not really pleased with rohr benching mikel...
one match is not enough to judge a player...rather he should be allowed to play the CM role...and bring in etebo for him later
