He said he was considering four strikers for d AFCON. The most he will pick is 3 ..

Ighalo is the only one whose spot is 100% guaranteed... because Onuachu scored against Egypt doesn't mean he has gotten a ticket there. anything can still happen...

forget it...
baring any changes...this 3 strikers already sealed their spot
*Ighalo
*Oshimen
*Onuachu
* up for grab...any of Nancho/Success can still get this

gamaliel9:
The most scary words to say in a plane " ALLAHU AKBAR"


That is the same as taking Simi to AFCON...he should join Juventus

do you have sense at all?
are you a kid?

this is a sport forum...where you have peeps of various tribes and religion...
don't you have respect for other peoples faith?

On Rohr....
he have tried even though he has shortcomings, that shows he is human. You see, I don't like blaming players or coaches simply because playing and coaching ain't easy as we see it or better still watch it on TV. majority of guys here blaming Rohr,if given the SE WC squad can't qualify from a group comprising crown FC ,Sunshine stars and Remo stars.
The only option now is for NFF to retire Salisu Yusuf and bring in Unknown but proven tactically astute coach maybe from our league. This will complement and strengthen Rohr's weakness.
o pari

God bless you, i reduced the way i criticize coaches during my NYSC i was the Platoon team coach.... then i know coaching a team is never easy, my team was so defensive minded and disciplined but scoring goals was a big problem, at a point i was clueless on what to do..... though we later manage to come out 4th but mehn that sojourn wasn't easy many of the forward line were not discipline, you will tell them something and they will go do another thing in the field.
Lolllls*

please that Enyimba Coach should be drafted in to edge out Sanusi.... immediately

Mickael2:
Have you ever compared the salaries our local coaches receive to what Rohr is currently earning? And have you ever checked if Rohr has had to work for at least 6months without pay since he came on? I do not support bribe in any form, but if our local coaches earn well and on time, I dont think they'd need to take bribe.

prior now rohr was owned for some months without pay....

Nigerian coaches...many of them are corrupt even should you pay them money accruing to milions...
remember keshi and adebayo sanga when he was the coach of Togo. many of this westerwolf boys believe they can still get egunge from their players signings.... which is now corruption unlike before. ..

Icon79:
I will agree that he's the best for the Super Eagles simply because of the support and the respect he receives from the NFF. Would the NFF accord similar treatment to an indigenous coach? Not a chance!

Yes, some ICs have been accused of egunje and the likes but did we bother to ask ourselves why they resort to such underhanded means? Isn't that simply because they are trying to survive?? The NFF is in habit of owing ICs 6 months or more salary. So how do you expect these men to feed their families I would like for the NFF to pay our ICs coaches their salaries on time (as they do with these foreign coaches) and give them freehand to select players, then let's see if our local coaches are not good enough.


O pari

you've not heard on how the NFF owned rohr salaries running into months....?
The old dude even debunked it on several occasions that he is not hungry and with some of his job in Africa in Africa he was not even paid self. ...

you forget that he pays his foreign assistants from his salaries...

yusuf with #5m monthly salary still went to take bribe.... just to include players who were already good enough to make his team. ...

I doubt if he was not well taken care of...

many Nigerians are corrupt...we need to stop painting the truth.... many Nigerians greed will never let them to be contended with that they have got..
even the last time Siasia and oliseh wrote players like leon and troost ekong off... especially oliseh...he brought Obafemi out from retirement and one unknown sylvester simply because they are his brother protégé. ..and Siasia has his boys too..
same with keshi who gave an unknown player the iconic No 10 jersey to wear....this men were all allowed to pick their squad....and what next? corruption raised its ugly head...

rohr is not too sentimental...and moreover he is not a Nigerian let alone we accuse him of being tribal....
so please this man has done well for himself and nigeria....just that he act like a coward sometimes

darkelf:
I'm talking about how Mikel helped us win games.

Since we lost, player rating doesn't matter.

Who cares about that, the fact still remains that Croatia were the second best team at the tournament and we were one of the worst. We crashed out..we lost simple!!!!! Player raying or not we couldn't even make the second round

so you expect Mikel to swindle the magic wind when the rest players where poor in the field of play...
e.g ighalo who missed a seater against Argentina.

mind you we were not the only ones who failed to make the round of 16...so what's the need for the cry?

c'mon just say you don't want Mikel in the team and stop beating round the bush. ...

darkelf:
Oga, I am talking about the WC. We crashed out in the group stages. We were not even the best performing African team

you're very funny. .. I am not sure you knew what happened during the world cup...
are you aware that Mikel's father was kidnapped prior the Argentina match?
please provide me with the Super Eagles players rating for the Iceland and Croatia game...and let's talk on Mikel relevance.

please do...I am waiting.

TheGoodJoe:
No proper evidence to back up your claims while a member of Rohr’s crew was caught on camera receiving bribe to field players.

You do not know how good Amunike is but from the reactions of the Tanzania players and the way his former players like Osimhen who credit their growth to Amunike, Amunike is definitely a great man manager.

Either way, you can give Rohr his props without running down another.

I am not running down anyone....
I vividly remember the tangle he had with the academy that birth nacho.... with the management of nwakali player rights. ...

I remember how the academy boss claimed amunike forced the latter player to sign for his(amunike) academy with the threat to be left out of the squad...


let me tell you he can't try that poo in Tanzania they're already short of talents so...trying that will amount to failure.... but trust them to mess up when coaching the Eagles. ..because even the players coming to bribe them are somehow still okay and as such won't raise eyebrows...

Yusuf bribe scandal revealed the obvious greed that exist in the stomach of our indigenous coaches....

darkelf:
You see....I agree with all you said except that part of winning by at least 2 goals every match. AFCON games will be very defensive. And knowing Rohr, he will be contented to take a 1:0 win even of it means UA defensing for the greater part of each game

you see a midfield with Mikel,Ndidi/Ajayi and Iwobi with fast wingers like musa and Henry/Simon/Chukwueze/Kalu will always take teams on fast counter attack even when they're protecting a lead...

if you watch the Cameroon match in Uyo you will know what I am talking about...

Danielnino00:
And it is Siasia you want to replace him??

even though I don't like some things about the German. .. the man is the best for the Super Eagles at this time.... where we have young nigeria players springing up everywhere...
he is the only man amongst our many coaches...that' can give players equal opportunities to play...
he is a good man someone like amunike will turn the Super Eagles to egunge era of Keshi where players will have to grease palm prior their call up and we will end up loosing lot of foreign born players.
He should stay in Tanzania please...though he is better and more tactical compare to rohr but in terms of management and fairness....rohr is the best.

ChrisKels:
now this is someone who was there, plz do u still remember what was icon's assertions when onuschu's name was thrown around against simmy's enroute Russia?

Lol. ..brother you nor get work at all.
ABEG leave Oga Icon4s let's enjoy the moment

darkelf:
Bro, agreed but what happened in the run-up to the WC and the WC proper? Why couldn't we simply pass the ball around and create enough chances even with Mikel on the field? Did the magic simply vanish? Why couldn't the players congenial locker room translate to cohesion on the field of play? What simply happened? Why were we disgraced despite the hype, the unprecedented support?

you see this rohr team....they're perfect ĺocal champions they can perfectly win Africa teams but when they face European or south America teams they fumble....
my hope is that they will be playing AFCON with all Africa oppositions.... they've only lost to RSA...so far.
Rohr team flex their muscles on Africa teams easily and pee on their pants when they play non-africa teams....

like I said earlier.... with a good defense back up,having iwobi and Mikel in the midfield will birth not less than 2 goals for the SE in every match...come this AFCON

Icon4s:
Sudan Vs Nigeria
First Leg 5th June, second Leg 9th June, 2019. Perfect end of season timing. So we unleash our full foreign based squad once again. AFCON does not start until 2 weeks after the second leg. So Rohr can as well borrow us some of his boys again

No mercy.
We learnt from the mistake of Libya first leg.

I tell you.... you don't pity oppositions.
I am so happy with the robust relationship that exist between the under 23 backroom staffs and the Super Eagles coaches....

we need to explore this players age for the Super Eagles and the under 23 team...

Rohr and Imama should create a pool of 40-48 players to always draw from including foreign born kids that wanna play for us like maja, eze, Okafor etc and can as well make deletions and additions to the list...

darkelf:
Oga, I will not blame rohr for not taking Mikel because I have never really been a huge fan if the guy. I feel his creativity is overrated.... Yes i said so.

I'm not saying it because we beat Egypt...remember during the WC friendlies were people blamed Mikel absence for costing us. During the WC proper, Mikel featured and there was no difference. There still was no creativity in the midfield. We lost 2 games because of this despite his presence. So yes, I say again that Mikel is one man who is past his prime and his addition may make no difference until he proves otherwise in a competitive match.

Thanks egbon

you make me laugh... please go tell this to Middlesbrough fans...
haven't you seen his play recently in the championship?
didn't you see his magic wind during the World cup qualifier against super Africa oppositions... Cameroon and Co. .
which major Africa opposition are you asking of again?
with Mikel and iwobi in the midfield there will be so much creativity for the 3 forward line to explore.

then Ndidi/Ajayi can hold the pivot 4 position...
iwobi as AM
Mikel as CM.

with this we will always score not less than 2 goals in any match in afcon...

Icon4s:
Guy forget, friendly is friendly. If we happen to meet Egypt in the AFCON expect a completely different game from them especially as they would be playing in Front of their home crowd.

Let's not be carried away by tonight's Victory o.

Egbon I am not carried away. ....oooo
the Super Eagles is capable of beating any Africa team if well managed....
remove salah from that team they become Tunisia...

Earthquake2:
I said Madagascar because they would be coming with an unknown factor

You'ld know what to expect from Egypt and the rest but a country with insane level of motivation like them would be hard to beat, especially as a first match

you have a point there as regard Madagascar...
if we are to play Madagascar in all important match where a win is necessary....we will beat them to pulp
I just want us to play Egypt in our group or Ghana. ...

then two light opponents...

Earthquake2:
Wow that's harsh

It means we are going to meet one of the big boys in the group stage

Lol.... you make me laugh
who are the big boys there?

you guys are acting like Rohr who is always scared and quick to write off his team...many will call it mind game but I see fear all over the German...just want to have a soft landing....

anyway....the Super Eagles can beat any of those teams..well... save for Egypt because of home advantage.

Earthquake2:
Madagascar would be trickiest in that group to be honest

forget....it.
just wait for the afcon to start proper then you will marvel on what was the reason then for the wild celebrations by this debutant nations
many will be the first to head home after the group stages......

if we happen to play Egypt...I foresee us beating them if the players can be psych enough and with the inclusion of Mikel and iwobi in the starting 11

Danielnino00:
Best possible draw

*Nigeria

*Tunisia

*Burundi

*Namibia


Worst possible draw

*Nigeria

*Egypt

*Uganda

*Madagascar(Ahmad factor )

even in that worst possible draw I don't see us loosing any of the match....just that rohr sometimes act like a coward... left to me the guys are capable of picking maximum point from that group...

elyte89:
Come fight me na

some peeps here... eehh have insults for breakfast

Earthquake2:
Wetin be your own for the matter?

I think you and some of the guys need to learn manners..... this thread was not like this prior you guys joined. ...
why must you and your kind here be disrepectful at all times.... ?
are you guys the only folks in their 20s?
c'mon can't you say words without insult?

he is telling you that your words not right instead of you to take held but pride won't let you....

Icon4s:
Tribalists?

i tire
even me from same place with him, give me the opportunity i will look for excuse to remove him from the National team once and for all.... and give other young productive players the chance to laid hold on the CF role.... i am a tribalist according to one enthusiastic Ighalo Lover

Curtisaxel7:
Look at the shameless pathetic online beggar that is insulting people. Instead of focusing on his begging business.

Don't try me oh.

what you just did make no sense... who does this?

haba........ is there anybody in this life who don't sometimes need help from his fellow man? even buhari and co does....
you don't laugh at another man wih his past/present challenges...
i will say you apologize to him, even if he insults you prior now...this is not maturity at all

Chriskelz:
Seems Felix Uduokhai has finally said yes to Nigeria, and is being considered for a place in the Afcon

i thought he wanted wait for germany... he gonna fight for his shirt, we have so much players in the defence now...ebuehi still on standby

minfelix:
im jus a reader/follower on dis thread, my take on this thread goes thus:
''d way guys type/comment here especially with good use of vocabularies, one will think every1 here is a full matured persons/ Behind learned men & women if not boys and girls, but it jus shows som ppl kip dictionary close to dem to drop post here, especially wen it comes to time of throwing insult back at each other..mk una take am easy here abeg, dnt b quick to blast sm1 here with strong idioms/proverbs/indirect phrases(if der is anything like dat)

bro it was not like this before, just when kids litters the thread we began to have this whole drama...
it is so pathetic this was a thread everyone used to love visit.

Bolowolowo:
E pain Baba!!

Why should it pain him? sometimes it is easy to deduce the level of some peeps maturity on this thread

kentebemoney:
He played for kano pillars a while back. very good midfielder

and he is till less 20 years old?
some of us here are accomplice in these players age cheat menace

there is no way such a player will be 19 years old...

Tecno66:
I am seeing a repeat of 1983 elections which was manipulated for the defunct NPN and which led to serious crisis and eventual end of that republic. It's funny that after all these years we are still talking about falsification of election results.

I told someone today...that there may be a coup prior 2023.... it may look impossible but to be honest some patriotic military officers are not happy with the happenings currently

andrew444:
Yes o he his nigerian

we may loose him...Switzerland does not have too much players like that...
any glimpse of light nah they will call up to the national team

We want to keep bringing Super Eagles to Asaba – Okowa

Friday, March 22, 2019 5:05 am


Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State

Tonobok Okowa, the Chairman of Delta Sports Commission, says the state will be delighted to continuously have the Super Eagles play their matches in Asaba.

Okowa told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Asaba that the team’s handlers seemed comfortable with the Delta capital city’s hosting capabilities and facilities.

“The state government has not influenced it in any way.

“The choice of Asaba by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) may be out of the fact that the state has successfully hosted other international matches and that the facilities are good.

“The state government has not really done any form of pushing to continue to host the matches in Asaba, but if the state has the option, it will grab it.

“We want to keep bringing them (the Eagles) back because we want to always put the stadium into use and our people love to have them here,’’ he said.

The Delta sports official pointed out that Asaba was well situated and bordered by states such as Edo, Anambra and several others.

“I guess the NFF loves what we have here and the first time we ever hosted an event for them was the Aiteo Cup.

“I am sure they (NFF) loved the turnout of people and the crowd was overwhelming. This may be why they are coming back.

“The city’s location is strategic and I know that they will always want to use this place and we will be obliged to be giving it to them at all times,” he said.

Okowa assured that every arrangement to successfully host the three international matches slated for Friday and next week at the Keshi Stadium had been concluded.

He added that they expected to have a surge of spectators.

“Here, we are talking about two international matches between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Seychelles coming up on Friday, the Super Eagles’ friendly with Egypt and the Nigeria Under-23 team’s fixture against Libya next week.

“We want people to come out and cheer them, but we guess we will have a surge. However, we have put mechanism in place to control the crowd and the traffic will be put under check throughout the period of the match.

“We have a good security architecture in place to manage the situation,” he said.

the governor of awka Ibom should please come to our rescue..... this okowa is becoming annoying...his mate in awka Ibom is building world class stadium and even got a state airway working....he is busy boasting of potato pitch
