Lol he sold Osas Okoro to us as the best right back since the days of Cafu. Lol d boy come rob am for his face during Chan. Since he accidentally predicted Cameroun's AFCON triumph, dude now feels he is Guardiola and Mourinho rolled in one.

Na so.

And the funny thing is that when ever we win he doesn't show face.

Which Kain thing be this?

He supports any other team asides this team. So Tay, you dare not say anything negative about that CHAN team. Now na Team B him carry for head.

Mark my words if we beat Croatia he will not show his face here. It is only if we should lose that he will come and start shouting his TeamB-TeamB.

Martz101:
simmy gives some flashes of kanu and agali, his a handful

Yeah, that guy was a threat all night

We are not going to Russia to win the world cup, are we? There's life after Russia, it's not enough for Pinick to say he has teams for 2022 and 2026 world cups. I'm obviously talking about Nwakali and Azubuike for reference purposes, this Russian world cup have come and gone as far as I'm concerned.

Oga, why do you always make comments like these?

That's how the other time you magnified Cameroon so tey you became a Cameroonian fan at a point.
So because Nwakali and Azubuike are not in this team your own World Cup has come and gone.

Well, for me the World Cup party is just about to start. I have placed order for my jersey already. I have my collection of Green and White Super Eagles Survenoirs. I am placing them on my dash board like I always do during major competitions.

The World Cup party takes place only once in 4 years and I would not let one or two players that were not selected spoil my fun.

Roll the drums Jare...........the mundial is upon us again....

Let us see Simy on a better pitch first.. I think, we will see more of a first team against England. Lokosa made a good account of himself but i doubt, he will be among the 23.

For sake of fairness, against England, I would want us to start Ighalo as the CF and at half time depending on how the game is going we feature Simy.

But if you ask me, I think this Simy looks more threatening than Ighalo.

As for Lokosa, he did very well even though he was played out of position. Even if he doesn't make Russia, he has done enough to merit future invitations to the national team.

Simon's injury has made the selection a bit easier for Rohr.

I trust Nigerian fans and how they switch 180 degrees depending on the outcome of every game.

The pitch really messed the whole game up.

Pinnick and the entire NFF deserve 77 strokes of the cane each for taking our beloved team to that kind of injuries threatening pitch.

They are taking 180million Nigerians for granted. What was all that show of shame for?

You take a WC bound team to a potato farm to go and break their legs abi? And some fans are already quick to start condeming the team.

Those of us that have followed this team right from that game against Tanzania know the team very and what they can do.

One of the major positives of this game is Simy Nwankwo. That guy is so impossing and so daring. He was a major threat all night.

Let's see the boys against England.

Mujtahida:
if i recall correctly iwobi has never been deployed as a ten or AM for nigeria since Rohr came in except in this match.

against zambia he played a a rwf
against algeria he played as rwf
against south africa he played as a lwf
against zambia he subbed simon moses as a rwf
against argentina he played as a false nine coming in from the left wing
against poland he played as a lwf
against serbia he played as a lwf but disobediently drifted into the midfield.

What of the Senegal friendly?

ChrisKels:
Joel Obi was forcing it, Agu was more calm and calculated and he didn't give away unnecessary fouls like Joel did in the first half.

I agree with this.

elyte89:
U prefer him because he switched nationals, if he were to be thorough bred naija player from scratch,am sure u won't prefer him to echiejile,dts d pity majority have for him,not dt he's better Dan echiejile

Haha, you sabi every bro.

It is just born out of pitty and sentiments.

Ola Aina, is a talented young player. But he is not ready for the challenge at this level.

Mujtahida:
In any case I'm satisfied that Rohr has tried him out there. And Simon's injury makes our argument academic.

But this is not the first time Rohr is playing him there naa

Mujtahida:
I know it's a test game but it's very clear that the coach is aware that Iwobi can play ten and that's good enough.The coach is trying to see if the flashes against Serbia are for real.
I doubt you Bro on the bolded. Did you envisage that Iwobi will play 10 today? So let's watch and see. Don't be too certain.

We should rather be talking about iwobi's performance playing from the middle. How has he been?

It is like you still do not understand.

If you go back earlier on this thread I am among the first that have clamoured for Iwobi being assigned a central AM role.

My point is Mikel is favorite for that position, but so you cannot keep Iwobi on the bench and wait for Mikel to get tired before bringing him in when we know Iwobi is a favorite to start from the wings.

LieDetector:
Why do we lack creativity?

bc Moses and Mikel are not on the pitch

OMANBALA1:
I prefer Aina to Echiejile but I feel he is not ready

Prefer him for the WC?

ChrisKels:
Nobody wanna talk about Joel Obi's replacement? Well Agu Mikel came in for Joel and he hasn't been too bad anyways but still not good enough. He shouldn't go to England talk more of Russia

Agu. No noticeable impact

safarigirl:
he isn't injured abeg. Slight knock, probably from exhaustion, he go dey alright

His fitness level is always an issue.

Mujtahida:
I first saw this in the match against Algeria. That was the match I began to go cold over Aina.

I have never been impressed by his games is the GWG jerseys.

Echiejile is ahead of him.

Mujtahida:
What matters is that the coach is aware. It's obvious contrary to how we were dismissed for making the point. There you have it- coach doing it the way we clamoured. He might not try it out at the WC but this game shows he's thought about it and ready to try it out

This is just a test game bro.

In the WC Iwobi cannot be sitting on the bench and be coming in for Mikel every second half.

Aina cause penalty

Mujtahida:
Smh. Rohr na beer parlour coach

Did Rohr directly bench Iwobi for Etebo?

Besides this is just a test game

AIG07:
Aina is better going forward. But defensively I think Echiejile is better.

He leaves gaps behind.

Ebuehi Don wound o

Good game Lokosa

Mujtahida:
Karius. He will surely make one of those school boy errors at the WC. No be swear oo

Hope it will not be one of such that will spell disaster.

tbaba1234:
That ball na penalty o!!

School boy goal keeping there

Uzoho don't try that at the WC o. Most refs would have given penalty

Well done Uzoho. Perfect positioning

safarigirl:
honestly

See all the shout about his Las Palma's performance, see where e reach

You know how we roll here naa

Simy is always a threat.
He has a lot to offer this team

NFF wan kill us with this kind of pitch.

I cover the players with the blood of Jesus for the remaining 34mins of the game.

Etebo has not been improving on his game level. Not good for him going forward

See what Chukwu Ndukwe is saying. Tomorrow him self go wan become coach.

AIG07:
Is this not thesame stadium that hosted our 2014 WCQs? Chai! Are we progressing or regressing? SMH

Nops

OMANBALA1:
Wait a minute.... Is Etebo not in this game ?

Rohr will probably drop Etebo for Lokossa

Na... then Rohr should drop Iheanacho too. One game is not enough bro.
