I thank God it played out like this so CAF and FIFA can see how disgusting this idea is. The world should never have to choose between Nigeria and Ghana at this level.

tbaba1234:
Since they are playing it in one location, proximity does not matter as much.

Some of the best teams will lose out under this arrangement.

maidaboi:
If football was mathematics i will say nigeria will beat ghana but this is football anything can happen

tbaba1234:
With their history, both teams should not be paired together

comodo:
It hurts Africa will present only 1 team & others.

opes:
How many teams will qualify from this zone?

Joebie:
why is Nigeria and Ghana in the same zone?

tbaba1234:
Niger has not conceded or scored in the tournament.

Well,on Ajayi and Jamilu: Yeah, Rohr is not going to start both. Probably a 3-5-2 with Balogun,Troost and Omeruo as the centre backs.

On playing the role behind the striker,that is optional. There mustn't be a define 10 position na. Must there? It's only in our national team I see a tendency to always play a defined 10 behind the striker. Spain didn't play it yesterday. Niguez and Ceballos played RMF and LMF respectively and the they walloped their opponents notwithstanding.
I'm not stiff on playing 4-2-3-1/4-5-1 to accommodate a 10. If it's that formation Iwobi/Simon will lose their place.
------Musa-----
Simon-Iheanacho-Kalu--

----Ndidi-Mikel---

Idowu-Balogun-Troost-Ajayi

sontoly:
Men, this guy na real injury player oooo. See the lengthy spell, Can you paste Dennis injury history, cos both players are injury prone.

SlayerForever:
Ofcourse,the next best thing in my opinion. Play Musa as the 9. If those 3 players are to feature then in a 4-3-3, Musa centre forward,Simon and Kalu from both flanks. Iwobi LMF Etebo RMF Mikel Holding Midfielder. In Defence,Balogun and Ekong. Collins and Ajayi on both sides (For the lack of better alternatives).

Onyekuru can come in Simon.
Ndidi for Mikel etc.

SlayerForever:
Personally, I do not believe Rohr is big on playing a False 9 He played Musa/Iheanacho as strikers against Iceland with Iheanacho behind Musa in a support role,not false 9s(I don't even know if you can have 2 False 9s in a team). Observe that Rohr is keen on getting another outright 9 hence Simy and Lokosa got call ups against DRC. Playing a False 9 is a very tactical approach. I don't think Rohr is big on it.

Once again your presumption in the negative shows your parochial and limited view.

This was sarcasm and tongue in cheek rhetoric that is about Kayode in the past, present continous and future.

Not just the immediate NOW that you have decided to underpin your view on.

It is something to laugh about in a light hearted ♥ sort of way, but you decide to catch fire instead.

Shall I call the fire brigade for you to quench this fire or play Eazi 4 u, to spray you holy water make your fire quench❓

safarigirl:
he is busy calling players wey never even kick ball to replace players that are kicking ball.


Na people wey dey recover from injury, some never even recover finish, and players that there is little to no feelers that NFF will reach out to them in a space of three weeks. If you want to propose players, propose the ones that are feasible.

komekn:
It seems the irony of my comments went flying ✈ over your head.


Thus your comments.

How you attach emotive bias and prejudice to a statement that's tongue in cheek sarcasm is beyond me. In this regard who is being irrational, emotive, unbalanced and prejudiced ❓

A classic case of leaping before looking.

safarigirl:
Kids, this is why you should always be sober before posting online.

Drink Responsibly

SlayerForever:
Don't you think all that wit and creativity will be wasted in the 9 position?

confun:
lol, tx Chief, I always come around quietly, I dey enjoy the discussions.

AIG07:
Hmmm... With Iwobi and Simon back, one of Kalu and Henry will have to make way.
Rohr doesn't see Iwobi as an AMF and Ighalo is already destined to lead our attack again.

As much as I don't like to admit this, we are in for a very long thing under Rohr.
Imagine Success hitting top gear before next match. Ighalo and Simmy scoring in our previous two matches and Nacho hitting the upright from a resulting free kick that later led to a goal(now our set pieces taker) Rohr will rather call up the above regulars as is 9 despite delivering 3 goals in total in the last one year.

I'll advice Lookman to keep whatever card he is playing close to himself, keep his head down and continue to churn out top performances hopefully luck will smile on him cos that way, he is assured of being called up.
