The atmosphere is frightening. Imagine Thrashing Egypt in that game. Lives can go and it is not an exaggeration.

Congrats to them. They deserve it. As for El Neny, he is transforming into a brilliant talent.
El Neny, that pass.

Egypt have a good team.

2018, can't wait....

lol....I actually cried watching this, especially when the commentator started crying. Very emotional

Forget fancy footwork and tiki taka, this is the true beauty of football. The fans, the stadium, the atmosphere, that is what I find most attractive in the sport.

Congratulations once again to beautiful Egypt, that is the real blood, sweat and tears that deserves a World Cup slot.

Hopefully, Senegal will be next....but nothing can beat this Egyptian celebration
Blood of Jesus!

I have watched the highlight more than 10times already.

That moment when that penalty was awarded. God!

i expect 90-95% making it to WC,there is no better player else where than the ones we have.
unless if the new play should go to EPL and score 20-25 goals before the WC,or go to Italy,Spain and Germany n score 30 goals.
Honestly, I was just being modest with that percentage.

I have no sentiment just one objective let the best players go and do Nigeria proud.

Now that doesn't make any sense to me. WHY huh

2018 is a very long way to go a lot of water can go under the bridge. Players God forbid will get injured new players get discovered, some players will lose form.

I don't expect to see more than 65% of the current squad making it. Why because the season has just started let's see who is HOT and who is HOT at the end if the season.

I expect to see at least 10 friendly games with good top class team's. From some if these games some players may loose thier position. That's competitive progress.
80 - 90% of this squad will make it to the WC.

no. We cannot retable for Tammy, we can table for Cyriel, but Tammy? God forbid!

I am disappointed in all of you mentioning Tammy's name here. It is Tammy you want to field against Spain and Germany and Brazil? Tammy will just sink you people, it's like none of you understand what loyalty means in football and how important it is
Is Cyriel any better?

I am rooting for Tammy abeg. We just need to re-strtegise. We can still get him and Cyriel too.

Ighalo can do like NEPA sometimes... I think we should look into Dessers as well. He is easier to get than Tammy.
I tell you.

After that first leg against Cameroon I said I would not be surprised if he resumes on his goals drought.

A striker with 1 goal in 3 straight matches is not good enough for a team With such quality.

Now that we have qualified for the WC can we re-table another bid for Tammy Abraham?

If Ighalo will lead our attack in that world cup we will labour to get goals o. Those chances he missed were so appalling. If that Iwobi's chance at goal had fallen to the feet of Ighalo, that game would have ended 0:0.

It is not looking good for Iheanacho at Leicester. We need a striker that will be prolific this season for club and will transfer that form to the WC.

I would want to see Nwakaeme start against Algeria and Kayode should be recalled.

At least we have an idea why Isaac Success' talent is rotting away if this story is true. No serious coach will play this kind of person.

PREM ACE SEX SHAME
Premier League star Isaac Success arrested after ‘paying four hookers £2,000 for a hotel romp’ and ‘angrily demanding his cash back


A PREMIER League ace paid four hookers £2,000 for a hotel romp — but failed to score with any of them after drinking two bottles of Baileys.

Watford’s Isaac Success, 21, was arrested after angrily demanding his money back.

Alexis Domerge was one of the escorts paid by footballer Isaac Success

Alexis Domerge was one of the escorts paid by footballer Isaac Success
Escort Alexis Domerge said the Watford star boasted of his prowess in the bedroom after paying the women £2,000 for a hotel romp.

But the 21-year-old, who has found the net only once in 19 Watford appearances, drank two bottle of Baileys — and then repeatedly failed to score with the hookers.

When the women decided to blow the whistle on Success’s lacklustre performance after 90 minutes, he angrily demanded his money back.

He was arrested in the hotel lobby after cops were called.

The Watford star became angry and demanded his money back after the girls called time on the romp
Alexis, 24, said: “He accused us of ripping him off and asked for his money to be returned.

“It was terrifying. He had paid four of us £500 each to party with him and we all got naked as soon as the money came through on our phone bank accounts.

“He was drinking Baileys straight from the bottle.

“He must have chugged at least two. I pulled off his shorts and got down to it with three other girls doing everything you could imagine.

“But he was getting frustrated. What do you expect if you drink two bottles of Baileys liqueur straight from the bottle?”

Fellow escort Michaela Carter, 30, said: “He had a nice body and all four of us massaged him for a full hour and a half — as long as a football match.

“He had been boasting to us all night about how much he earned and how much fun we were going to have.

“But it’s fair to say that Mr Success did not live up to his name during our night together.

“He seemed really keen on Baileys — swigging the stuff out of the bottle. It made me cringe because it’s so sickly sweet.

“He seemed a bit shy and awkward, probably because he’s only 21. After a bit of chat Alexis took charge and said it was time to get down to business.

Alexis says the Prem star became frustrated but blamed his performance on the booze
Alexis says the four escorts all got naked as soon as the money came through on their bank accounts
“She laughed and told him, ‘We want your money before the honey’.

“So he transferred £2,000 straight to one of the girls which was divided between the four of us.

“The partying started as soon as the money came into our accounts and we all stripped off.

“All five of us were squirming around on the bed but after a while we realised the Baileys had taken its toll.

“Eventually, I told him I couldn’t stay any longer and we couldn’t give him extra time. That’s when things started to get nasty.

“There was a lot of screaming which must have woken the entire hotel.

“At that point the police were called. We were all making a terrible racket.

“I ended up with a slight cut on my face and a bruise on my arm during the chaos.

“I don’t know how it happened. During the row I also stumbled backwards and broke the heels of my £600 Louboutin shoes. It meant I was already £100 down.”

Michaela claims the footballer boasted about his high earnings#
Things turned nasty when the girs told Success they couldnt give him extra time

Nigerian international Success, who earns £30,000 a week, booked the four girls after spending the night at a lap-dancing club in London’s West End.
In the early hours they were texted the details of the luxury Sopwell House hotel, Herts, where Success had hired a first-floor suite.

Michaela said: “We met him and a couple of his mates in reception but they left, leaving just Isaac and the four of us.

“We went up to his room. It was a nice room and I could tell he had lots of money because there were designer clothes in there and Christian Louboutin trainers which can cost £800 a pair.

“He offered us drinks then started boasting about how rich he was.

“He said, ‘You won’t believe how much I earn in 90 minutes’.”

Alexis, from Brooklyn, New York, said: “I was actually quite turned on by his body. He’s beautifully toned.

“Eventually, Michaela and one of the other girls broke it to him that they couldn’t stay any longer.

“But he then accused us of ripping him off and demanded his money back.

“Several police cars arrived really quickly and about five officers came in and cuffed his hands behind his back and took him outside.

“Success admitted that he had paid us for sex.

“But he also claimed we’d cheated him out of the cash, without mentioning the reason why he didn’t have sex.

“All this commotion was more than the hotel management could take and they ordered us out of the hotel — including him.

“It’s a really nice place and I guess this isn’t the sort of behaviour they tolerate.”

The hookers said Success later called his bank and had the payments to them stopped.

Alexis said: “We couldn’t believe it when he accused us of cheating him and got the bank to get him his money back.

“We made a deal and it wasn’t our fault he didn’t have a good time. His behaviour was off the scale.”
Success signed for Watford from Spanish side Granada for £12.5million last July — then a record fee for the Hertfordshire club.

He has struggled to make the starting line-up since.
He sat out Watford’s 2-0 away win at Southampton on September 9 but went out on the town in London the following day before hooking up with the girls.
Alexis and Michaela and another 34-year-old escort were recruited by a fourth hooker, a friend of Success’s.

A Hertfordshire Police spokesman said: “Police are investigating an allegation of assault reported to have occurred at 6.30am at Sopwell House in St Albans on Monday September 11.

“A 21-year-old man was arrested and de-arrested and inquiries are ongoing.”

Nonsense.

Just like how he has also failed to leave up to expectations in his career.

Success was not yet in camp with the 2013 Eaglets when Etim Esin and my humble self gave them lectures on the negative effects of living a wreckless life as a footballer. Etim himself and Okoronwanta were the two major case studies.

Well, thank God we are seeing the positive results in the lives of likes of Ndidi, Iheanacho, Awoniyi, Nwakali bothers, Yahaya and co.

Success has missed it. Its a shame.

While other youngsters like Iheanaco, Iwobi, Simon, Ndidi, Etebo, Aina, Shehu are ready to take Nigeria and their careers to the next level. This one is just destroying his future.

Chai Isaac the beast Success. *Shake my head*.

thank u the first half was a mess. Honestly I don't know how some people watch football. Leon played the man onside for the goal that was ruled off and he also got manhandled when Zambia missed a sitter around 30mins.

Yes, not scared to say dt,most esp in d 1st half


But in all fairness, judging by today's game,do we feel echiejile deserves so much criticism? D few chances Zambia saw today were errors made mostly by balogun, and also thanks to d poor pass made mostly by ekong giving d Zambia cheap possession of d ball,thereby piling up pressure on d defence
That is something goes on here. Selective criticisms. The talk about Echiejile as the worst player on the pitch today is so amusing.

Leone Balogun had a bad game especially in the first half. Dude was so slow in marking out his opponent and also slow in the build up of play.

Troost Ekong, just also like occasionally against Cameroon made one silly clearance that almost cost us a goal. If it were Onazi, Echiejile or Omeruo that made those passes we for no hear word here.

Despite Onazi's contributions in the first 20+ minutes he played some are still scoring him 5/10 for those minutes.

We have our favorite players and the opposite as well but we should be fair in making our judgements.

I am beginning to think Azubuike might be better... But he did better in the second half.
I would pick Azubuike over Agu.

You saw how Azubuike slotted in almost seamlessly against Egypt. It was as if that was not his debute. But this is Agu's 3rd game in a row plus he has always been in the squad for almost every game.

That is how you know players that are hypos and those that are not.

In d second half Mikel Agu should just thank Ndidi and Mikel nothing more and Onazi should have add more to d team than Agu in d second half.

My man Rohr should look for a better player to complement Ndidi as DM not Agu for God sake,against Cameroon he was below par,today d same thing,we need better players not shaking ones.
Mikel Agu almost gave someone heart attack.
