Rohr is not fair to them okay ,but such is football

Even osimhen didn’t impress on his debut

50 percent of international didn’t impress on their debut

Let me just say nwakaeme is not lucky

The major factor against both of them is age

Joebie:
I expect Kalu to make the team and not Dessers in the real list.
Other than that, it looks like a typical Rohr list

Pinnick already confirmed Dessers and I also expect Kalu to make it

Icon79:
Is this team list for real? Why too many strikers and not enough midfielders Not that I have any problems with the individual players invited but this just isn't a balanced team. Is he going to play with only strikers


O pari

It's not real, the NFF have not released any list

Odunayaw:
your No. 4 conclusion reeks of dung sir. You don't rate among the best 5 DMs in Europe (by better mouthpieces) for one grunt on Nairaland to come making bold statements.

That said, What superstar was in the Costa Rican team that reach the QF in 2014 WC? Ogbeni this isn't pes

Or maybe he can remind us the superstar Cameroon had in 2017

andrewbaba44:
Story, so because giroud is in france team means kalu should be in eagles list, maybe they should have dropped an inform moses simon

Is kalu even better than ejuke this season who is not even close to being on the list?

Kalu have been playing nonsense this season and doesn't deserve to be in the squad

Finito

The list is false, it's not on NFF or super eagles twitter handle

This guy is very confident on the ball. N.B : he played LB yesterday.

He won't take it... The Italian league is ranked lower in the calculation of the golden boot points...

I don't think so, I think the EPL, Serie A and LA liga have the same ranking

TheSuperNerd:
Because of a rule. Leganes already knew what would happen and Barca only had an emergency 15 days to wrap up a deal with them too knowing what will happen. And the rule says the player signed must be a free agent or a player from within the division.
It is a silly rule if you ask me.

The rule further states that the player Barca signs this way will only be eligible for Domestic matches and not for the European continental club matches. Also it states that the team from where the player is signed cannot be allowed to replace that player. It is just crazy! And I didn't even think Leganes' braithwaite would be the target considering their current predicament. But when the list of targets were reeled out, his name popped up and viola! Barca have signed the guy bcoz of a release clause they activated and even the guy sef wan go Barca. He wanna add it to his CV not minding how Leganes fare in the end. To the man, na now be him only chance of playing for a big side. Lol


I feel for Leganes but that silly rule is just what it is.

I can't even blame the guy, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. I blame the silly Laliga rule

Icon4s:
On what Technical basis is it not right?

I think it's not a fair deal, Laliga granted Barcelona the special right to sign a player, they activated that guy's release clause which means Leganes can't turn it down, Leganes approached Laliga to allow them replace him but Laliga said they can't do that

Icon4s:
What is wrong? Did Barcelona take him from them for free? Can't they replace him with another player?

They can't, La liga said they can't

Danielnino00:
Thesupernerd, tell me something... If Haaland was Nigerian and Osimhen a Norwegian, would u rate them the same way you are doing now ? �

That's below the belt Bro

kendrick93:
Typical Nigerian....
Anyone who doesn't toe the same line is a hater or enemy of progress...
Anyway like I said, osimhem doesn't have the tools to reach a mane or drogba's kinda level...
I think Nigerians like you are just eager to see a world class player so will cling to anyone who shows a little potential and hype as the next Lord and saviour....
Unlike you I see things for what they are....
Osimhem is a good player....and that's it

Osimhen have showed that he can be as good as the players you mentioned, it's obvious you don't know much about what you are saying because if we start analysing the statistics you'll see that the joke is on you

Icon4s:
Good one.

And good that we are fielding a strong squad for the double header. We just need 4points from the two games to secure qualification.

Abeg we want the 6 pts, Algeria is breathing down on our neck as per FIFA ranking

kendrick93:
Truth is,it is only on nairaland super eagles section this argument will entertained..
Elsewhere you will laughed at...
As for osimhem, scoring in a Ligue 1 is good but not that impressive..
For anyone to truly notice him he needs to smash it like the likes of hazard, mbappe, Benz did for him him to achieve a top club to take notice...But then again he's not as talented as those guys...
Maybe he will lucky to reach the level of a Lacezette......
time will tell

Not sure you want to tow this path

COOL10:
.

Haaland doesn't just wait at the goalpost. He seeks to exploit loopholes in the defence. That's what makes him extremely dangerous. He has that goal poacher's killer instinct and his movement is just on another level. Did you see his second goal?

In just 3 matches,he already had a massive record of 8 goals from 10 shots,just one off target. The guy is a beast.

Unfortunately, he'll always have his doubters cos he's not the type to hold on to the ball for long,and that makes people believe he's not working hard,but that to me,is his greatest asset.

I'll compare him with Nistelroy

Subzero047:
The stats keep falling out

The first one isn't a special stat, this season is the first time a player would be allowed to play for two different clubs in a season. If it were in the past he'd have been cup-tied

TheSuperNerd:
Sorry didn't see this earlier.

Ofcos you will recall Claudio Reyna. Brilliant midfielder he was. Giovanni is his son. Another beautiful baller. Still only 17.

Claudio and Haaland's father played for City together

Danielnino00:
It's about time FIFA review this offside rule...

Marginal offsides should be allowed to stand .
The way VAR has been ruling out goals for such marginal offsides is ridiculous

Referees should be able to use their head, they are not robot

Danielnino00:
Apparently so..

But being an ex footballer doesn't guarantee that u will be a good administrator..

Football is business too .. .. it's just the appointments in public services in Nigeria are hardly on merit..... Connection and sentiments usually influence such appointments.

Don't think so, Odegbami has never been state fa chairman and be has contested for the post a couple of times

TheSuperNerd:
OGN is the source

March First week will tell shaa but this report looks very good if true.

You don't even need a sorcerer to guess right

BascoVanVeli:
What has Salah done this season except prove he is the most selfish superstar in the league? Adama has been better than him

Lol

NPFL over the weekend

chrisooblog:
ok fair enough he has the qualifications and experience for the role. is he the best we could have gotten? considering we have guys like emenalo, oliseh hanging around

Oliseh? He'll break bottle on Rhor's head lass lass

andrewbaba44:
I agree with this list apart from Adama Traore

Imagine o, Adama ahead of Salah

forgiveness:
Which Chelsea?

Obviously he doesn't know the meaning of FFP

tbaba1234:
I agree but who will you drop from the team?

Kalu

Why NFF made Yobo Eagles’ assistant coach – Pinnick

President, Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has given reasons for Joseph Yobo’s appointment as Super Eagles assistant coach.

Mixed reactions have trailed the decision of the NFF to pick Yobo, a former captain of the national team, as Gernot Rohr’s assistant.

Even some of Yobo’s fellow ex-internationals questioned the 2013 AFCON winner’s experience and qualification for the Eagles job.

But Pinnick, in an exclusive interview with Sunday PUNCH, said Yobo’s appointment was a unanimous decision of the NFF’s Executive Committee.


“The NFF is very excited with his appointment and will take it as a responsibility to ensure that he gets the requisite (coaching) qualifications at the highest level,” Pinnick stated.

“That’s how Stephen Keshi started. Who says Yobo can’t be the next Nigerian to win the the AFCON as player and coach?

“FIFA stipulates that the head coach and first assistant coach must have coaching licences. Yobo is not the first assistant coach.


“The idea is that we want to nurture and condition him to provide leadership and mentorship for the young team, using the Nigerian factor, which Gernot (Right) cannot provide.

“He’s played for some of Europe’s big clubs, won the AFCON and he is one of our most-capped players ever. So, we should back him to succeed.”

Pinnick added that Yobo’s former teammate at Everton, Mikel Arteta, began coaching immediately on retirement in 2016, despite not having the experience, and rose through the ranks to become Arsenal’s manager.


“When Yobo was at Everton, Arteta was on the bench. But he began his coaching career as an assistant at Manchester City when he retired. Today, he is the Arsenal manager and one of the top coaches in England. So, we should learn to support our own.
“Are we going to keep relying on foreigners all the time?” He said.

So he's just a cheerleader, is that what Mr Pinnick is trying to tell us? Tot Kanu have been doing that well tho

tbaba1234:
Fickle fans.. He has done well for them...

That was an truly an Akpeyi moment

It's normal for them to act that way, he's benching their long time GK and SA number one

Akpeyi had an 'Akpeyi moment' today and South Africans have started calling for Khune to be reinstated as number 1

GOAL! Daylon Claasen finds the opener for Maritzburg United. Daniel Akpeyi commits but does not fully get a handle of the situation. Could this be the mistake that gives Khune his number one spot back? Chiefs 1 - 0 Maritzburg United #AbsaPremiership #AbsaPrem pic.twitter.com/826tEPjmwJ

Ladan Bosso and Aigbogun from what i hear, are making comebacks.

@ Seun please we'll need a clown emoji for the NFF if it turns out to be true
