Wrong! Fa fa fa - Foul!!!

No individual player is indispensable. It's a team sport.

Right now vic Moses is indespensable.. And I hope Rohr understands that

I believe that he was excused from DR Congo friendly, so nothing spoil here.

They should have selected 'The Dream of One Team', then the whole group would be dream based or shall we say "The Dream Group".

The Wings Of African Pride: The Slogan Of The Super Eagles At Russia 2018 Is Known
The Super Eagles 2018 World Cup slogan which will be will be emblazoned on their team bus for the entirety of the tournament has been revealed by the official website of Fifa.

From the three options, ''The Spirit of Unity'', ''The Dream Of One Team, The Heartbeat of Millions'' and ''The Wings of African Pride'', the third and last option was picked as voted through a Twitter poll.

Here are the slogans of Nigeria's Group D opponents, Croatia, Iceland and Argentina :

Croatia : ''MALA ZEMLJA. VELIKI SNOVI (Small country, big dreams)''.

Iceland : ''Látum drauminn verða að veruleika (LET'S MAKE OUR DREAM COME TRUE)''.

Argentina: ''UNIDOS POR UNA ILUSIóN (Together for a dream)''.

The individual who came up with the winning slogan will be rewarded with a trip to Russia 2018, including accommodation in a four-star hotel and opportunity to escort the Super Eagles to the stadium for one of their matches.

You can find all the 32 participating countries World Cup slogans here.

True. But I doubt if that would stop the useless British pundits from blaming him for everything wrong with Arsenal.

Martz101:
let's wait and see, you never know. the worldcup would help iwobi if he performs well

I agree. I think that Ligue1 or even La Liga would be a perfect fit for Iwobi's playing style.


O pari

charlesemeka85:
yea alex leaving should be to away from epl. teams like monaco, hoffenheim, borussia dortmund and liepzig will suit him

So the team B played with 12 players, I guess

Anyway, so John Obi Mikel still isn't in the camp yet? What kind of captain is he? Talk about leading by example
The only player who has an excuse not to be in camp at this time is Victor Moses.

SIMY ALREADY SHOWING HIS QUALITIES



How Super Eagles Lined Up In Training Session – Crotone Simy Scores Spectacular Goal
May 24, 2018013

Ahead of their upcoming friendly game against Congo DR in Port Hacourt, the senior national team of Nigeria had their second training session witnessed by Owngoalnigeria.com.

As usual the team were shared into two different teams by coach of the team Gernot Rohr after the traditional warming up, light exercises and shooting drills.

Rohr lined the team up in a way which suggest he is already building the team for the Congo DR friendly as most of the regular players were lined up in one team, while the rest who are trying to win a spot were lined up in a separate team.

The highlight of the one hour training session game saw newly invited Crotone forward Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo open scoring in a spectacular fashion with a lob over the head of goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa.

Team A.

Francis Odinaka Uzoho (GK)

Leon Balogun

William Troost-Ekong

Ola Aina

Elderson Echiejile

Ogenyi Onazi

Joel Obi

Oghenekaro Etebo

DONT MISS ==> EXCLUSIVE: Efe Ambrose Reacts To Olympiakos Rumours
Junior Lokosa

Simy Nwankwo

Alex Iwobi

Team B:

Ikechukwu Ezenwa ( GK)

Kenneth Omeruo

Chidozie Awaziem

Stephen Eze

Uche Agbo

Kelechi Iheanacho

Mikel Agu

Odion Ighalo

Tyronne Ebuehi

Moses Simon

Ahmed Musa

No football strategy/tactic if fool-proof. The other teams would eventually figure it out: the Ajax team of the late 90s; the Barca team under Gurdiola; the Chelsea team of last season ... you name, your opponent eventually figures you out. Hence, the key is to remain dynamic and keep changing tactics on the fly.


O pari

mank1234:
Did they win the trophy? If the strategy failed twice with the calibre of players in that team then the strategy is not fool-proof. Just imagine if ball gets behind the 6 displaced players.

According to him, sell Aaron Ramsey too while they keep Kolasinac. Useless pundits

But I will actually like Iwobi to leave if the right offer comes along. I don't expect him to get as much playing time with Unai Emery incharge. He's a spineless coach, so expect senior players like Mesut Ozil to start running the show and deciding who plays or sits.


O pari

Martz101:
keep wilshere and welbeck but sell iwobi and ozil...wetin this man smoke?

LG supposed to wait until after the World Cup so they can see who would shine the most.


O pari

Haha!! egbon forgiveness, actually, that would be difficult since I actually don't promote any player, per se. I mean, I have defended players like Tyronne Ebuehi against unfair criticism but I don't see that as promoting him a la the way you do with Kayode

Having said that, I am Igbo but that hasn't stopped me from being the biggest critics of players like Elderson Echiejile, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, and even John Ogu ... to mention but a few. When it comes to naija footie, I am the MOST detribalized Nigeria believe me.


O pari

forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! Look at this one! Pot calling kettle black. Oya! Take the lead by listing all the players you have promoted in your entire stay here. I don't want to use because you will be found wanting.

I am waiting.

We're talking about Dollars here, folks! And where did all that money go

OBJ is a certified thief!


O pari

Abeg, helep me ask them o.

This is just a fan forum, guys. Whatever we say here has absolutely NO bearing on what tactics the coaches chose to adopt or on the players the coaches decide to invite. You can scream Kayode and Alampasu's name all day on Nairaland forum, that wouldn't make any coach worth his onions to invite or not invite him. That's why I don't take anything we do/say here serious ... we don't make the calls.


O pari

Mujtahida:
When did Rohr settle on the 3-5-2 tactics? Seems that consensus on the thread is that that is the system we would use. Do you guys have a link to the coach 's backroom?

Mhen, anytime I see some of these guys in their scrimmages, it really bothers me that I didn't continue playing



O pari

tbaba1234:
Wrong

It is

Ekong, Onazi and Lokosa

Vs

Iwobi, Aina and Elderson

Iwobi, Aina and Elderson won... I posted their winning picture.

Wow. You are good bro, you're are really good.

But some folks here are very predicable though - komekn, for instance. EPL is always the best

Lolz. I stalk a lot. It's very good in people's management. Learn the skill if you haven't. Sometimes, I don't look at the poster's name before reading a comment. I only look up later to confirm that it's the person I suspected earlier.

Thank you! And one was the South African game when several players were unavailable due to one reason or the other.

The days of forcing a player on the coach, via the media, is gone guys . Thank God for that!

Rohr didn't not invite kayode multiple times, kayode was not invited more than twice.

can we also say aron samuel and nwakeme are also in Rohr plans??

Bros, that dude always gives me a heart attack each time he plays for us. And I mean, each time - even in the meaningless friendly match against Senegal a long time ago! I can't believe that the dude is a national team goalkeeper.

I don't need to gather up to a thousand posts. I already know where you stand, at least in your personality, likes and dislikes, hobbies etc.

Good point. I really wish that FIFA can allow us to go with only TWO goalkeepers, so we can sacrifice that extra spot for a defender. I mean, both Akpeyi and Ajiboye are useless anyway


O pari

tbaba1234:
Balogun can not play 7 games straight without something coming up. Assuming we get to the later stages of the competition, we need adequate back up.

8 defenders is very likely.

This means ONE thing: Maurizio Sarri.has been selected to replace Antonio Conte at Chelsea. Not a good way to treat Conte, but he would be laughing all the way to the bank with all the money Chelsea would pay him for terminating his contract.


O pari

TheSuperNerd:
Napoli has just signed Carlo Ancelloti to a three year deal...

How e take concern us?: Well it fuels the speculation that Moses may be getting a new coach at Chelsea likely to be Maurizio Sarri (Napoli's outgoing coach). Seems conte is leaving.

So I took you both as kidding and just having small light talk. So me no even Carry anything for mind when giving Safari my thoughts. Anyway, that's by the way....

So uhmmm...

Wow... Really? You are lighter than him below?

Don't mind them. They told us that Pep was winning with Barcelona because La Liga was a two team league; forgetting that if either one of Athletico Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia, or Villareal were in the EPL, they would be competing for the title every year.. Funny enough, Pep just turned the EPL into a one team leagu

Anyway, the good news is, those who understand the game actually know better. Take for instance, when Jurgen Klopp wanted to "bond with his Liverpool team" (aka show them how to play the game the right way), he took them to Spain to Watch FC Barcelona! Tells you everything you need to know.

Na only this season him remember him no remember the past few seasons,he has also forgotten that laliga was the first league to provide 5 teams in the uefa champions league.

he isn't too dark. It was a joke, I am explaining further because you have made up your mind that I have something against dark people which is a lie

Tomorrow, I will say another thing and that comment will be irrelevant. I hate being misunderstood, I say it here all the time, yet I am constantly misunderstood.

Sorry if anyone was offended

But like I said, it would he funny if I said it in person, rather than if you read it. You can only understand it as you are reading and that is hardly a way to judge anything.


I hate that you of all people are misunderstanding me.

Well, not necessarily. Frankly, I am surprise that some of you guys really didn't see the quality of Samadi and the Nwakali brothers. I don't know the names of all the players, but those 3 guys played well yesterday and showed flashes of brilliance. It's time we stop basing the opinions of our players SOLELY on the basis of how they perform in Europe. Some of our players found themselves in bad situations where they at are not given opportunities to perform.

Kelechi Iheanacho has shown us all what can happen when our boys are given a chance to show their stuff. When some of us were screaming our heads off that Kelechi was unfairly being blacklisted at Leicester City in favor of lesser talents like Demary Gray, Albrighton, and Shanji Ozizaki, some folks accused us of crying wolf. Well, wind don blow on that issue and we don see chicken nyash. Now we all know that chicken dey get nyash

Icon4s:
Because they scored yesterday?

The way you guys selectively use stats in this forum is, sometimes, really ridiculous

Now, let me turn that same question around to you: How many EPL clubs were in the last 16 of the Champions league last year and how many Bundesliga clubs? What about two years ago?? And three years ago nko

And while at it, please do tell us how many EPL teams started the UCL in each of those years vis-à-vis Bundesliga. That would help us understand, percentagewise, how each league did.

Please let's take it easy with all these deceptive selective use of data.

komekn:
What do you define hype. In my opinion it is the misrepresentation of facts and the exaggeration of attributes.

The Bundesliga is a literary a one club league where Bayern Munich win everything. True or false.

UEFA rate the EPL the second best in Europe and the Bundesliga fourth, FACT.

How many EPL clubs were in the last 16 of the Champions league and how many Bundesliga clubs

These are the facts stop being emotive and sentimental in the negative against the EPL. The facts are there for all to see.
