People should stop saying that nonsense that Ighalo begged to be subbed in, una dey there? I think what happened was very clear, Rhor wanted to bring him in and he called him over to give him tactical advice before he joins the game, very simple stuff.

forgiveness:
The last time we played Iceland, we chop sand. I mean we chop 3 goals without scoring a single goal. I mean we chop 3 nut.

Today, I hope we score early so that we finish dem on counter attack.

please when did we play Iceland?

TheSuperNerd:
I honestly don't wanna analyse this. I just wanna keep mute. Rohr will surprise us with a formation and starting personnel tomorrow but maybe Colin just deliberately dropped one or two names out. We surely cannot be showing our cards this early to Iceland naa.

I'm sure Collin changed the set up, because he said on his post two days ago that formation fee leaked isn't good, so why will be do same

BascoVanVeli:
Dembele played at Nantes. But did you guys see the nutmeg he did in his own half under pressure? Nerves of steel.

which of the Dembeles? the Akanji boy over impressed, I hear he had Nigeria's flag painted on his right boot

ChrisKels:
Akanji was just okay but not exceptional. He is not inventive and he is too scared to give forward passes. But he did okay and will improve for his team.

I wish him luck

lol, I concur, Awaziem is a better talent that's why one play with Nantes and the other one Dortmund

tbaba1234:
Anyone who has watched Egypt play in recent years can not be surprised. They keep it tight at the back and wait for Salah to do his magic upfront.

Yeah, that's the stick which critics have been using to beat Cuper, that he has no plan b, his only plan is give the fvking ball to Salah

Mujtahida:
Stale jokes are boring. Pics was in 2014

2013 confederations cup

andrew444:
lol Saudi never played well during the friendly

You are getting it wrong,no sane man will tip Saudi to win,but I am telling you no team is a walk over this is football.

I am not sure if you even watch football,Saudi failed to win any friendly and they just played good game against Germany that's all.

Now tell me when I said Saudi will win Russia ?

I await your response

Ha, bros why are you doing a 360? you said we should go and watch their game against Germany and see how good they are, but I watched their game against Russia and saw how poor they are.

andrew444:
If we play the way we played in the friendlies we will not win Saudi Arabia or even the host Russia.

If you watch Germany and Saudi Arabia then you will know how good they are.

You see why you shouldn't use friendlies as a yardstick? the Saudi you dey hype chop 5 today

TheSuperNerd:
Mikel will lead us to Afcon 2019 for sure. I reckon that to be his final major tournament for Nigeria's Super Eagles. So 17 games between now and then may be achievable kinda.....

I feel he should have strength for the next World Cup, he'll be 35 by then which isn't too old for a midfielder.

Two years ago today, we lost the most underrated and under appreciated coach in 9ja football's history, Amodu Shuaibu, the only coach to ever qualify us for two different world cups. continue resting in peace

Today in history: June 7 2016 we lost Stephen Okechukwu Keshi to the cold hands of death, tho a controversial person with his own flaws, don't forget he gave us our 3rd nations cup victory against all odds and expectations. rest on the BIG BOSS of Naija football

ChrisKels:
The bolded is a scam that we have been falling for. Remember he always promised a better outing after each shambolic match throughout this preparation but what did we get after those high promises? Nothing but something Worst than the previous displays

I cant fall for his trick anymore. I have learnt my lesson for good

you sure say this bros never stake money on top these boys, see as grown man dey cry

ChrisKels:
I over rated Rohr, that man I so poor. His ineptitude is unquantifiable. I dont have no single confidence in him anymore.

Why cant we have Herve Reinard as our coach?

You'll still call for his head, that one is ultra defensive

safarigirl:
no mind them......you look at some people wey you dey follow argue and how clueless they are, you go just dey regret say you follow them talk

That one no even sabi who dey World Cup.

Maybe Czech dey same group with Ghana, USA and Italy

coincidentally the 4 of them shared the same group at the 2006 World Cup

goldfish80:
Ogu brought balance to the back 3 playing the left CB lasy night, going forward, this should be his position.
I don't know, but it appears Rohr have programmed the minds of Nigerians not to be daring when analyzing this team. Shehu was about the best player in Cyprus playing as a Dm and that form continued in Turkey but somehow, people dont want him tried in that position even when you have a fumbling Joel and a the fat guy. I dont get it.

I think you are right, he even confined Agu to the bench

Icon4s:
I am sure if Rohr had done what you just suggested you will still be among those that will question why Rohr started Musa ahead of Moses. Why didn't you make the suggestion before the match?


We are always quick to provide alternatives after the did is done.

he did, I saw his post on Fri I think where he said he doesn't expect Moses to start the game

LieDetector:
that should be yesterday.

he's right, it happened two days ago

tbaba1234:
I think Ogu might be dropped. It looks like Joel Obi is the preferred choice in the absence of Ndidi. That means that the last midfield slot goes to Agu or Ogu.

means Joel must have really impressed Rhor, abeg I no wan player wey fit get injury just by drinking too much water

Optajoe fact: 15-since 1966, the most dribbles completed in a World Cup match is 15, by Jay Jay Okocha against Italy in July 1994 #showboat# #legend#

Just saw a report now that Ajiboye, Agbo,Lokosa,Simon and Eze have been dropped. the report also claimed that Agbo reported to camp with an injury. guess that's why we didn't see him in yesterday's game

Alfryd:
Which time be NIG-,DRCy

5pm

Game time: 5pm

tbaba1234:
He was trying to block Iheanacho's shot and hurt himself. No body touched him.

a journalist just tweeted that some players are hiding their injuries which they've had before they reported to camp, I think he's referring to Simon. if true, that's unfair to the coach and other players who could have been picked in his stead

krattoss:
when he himself has said he will be fit for England cracker

respected journalist Kelechi Nkoro just tweeted it

Breaking news: An unconfirmed report says Simon may be out for about 3 weeks, if true that means his world cup dream is over

Kog45:
Osaze was an established player in eagles and we all know what he can do.

Mike Emenalo and Chidi Nwanu also gatecrashed 94 team but they have good experience with eagles

But can we say the same thing about Batholomew Ogbeche,Sam Sodje,Uche Nwofor,Michael Uchebo,Shola Ameobi

Efe Sodje, not Sam Sodje

Hi guys, let's talk about our past world cup performances. I know we'll all agree that 1994 was our best outing, however which one do y'all think is our worst? for me I think it's 2010, we had all our important players from Martins to Osaze, Yak, kanu, Obasi, Yobo etc the only noticeable absentee was Mikel yet we struggled to gain just 1 point despite being in a relatively easy group. So let's have our say on Nigeria's worst World Cup outing

AIG07:
The World Cup is few days away. Till this moment, nothing has been heard from the supporter's club corner. I just hope we will not end up blowing vuvuzelas.

I think I read somewhere that drums won't be allowed inside the stadium

Icon4s:
As at 93-94 I had not started writing for them but I was an addict of their magazines. It was published monthly.

I wrote for them around 1997/98/99. Because of my passion for youth's football, I focused more on the progress of the U17 and U20 graduates. Some notable players I wrote about and they later became Super Stars were Gbenga Okunowo, Obafemi Martins(of course my boy from my hood), Ifeanyi Ideze, Haruna Babangida and a host of others. I was a University undergraduate then and was a freelance writer.

How it worked. You submit your article by the first week of a month. The editors will go then through it to see if it good enough for publishing and also do some little editing here and there and then it flies.

how were you able to gather information on these players considering the fact that there's no internet then, or did you know them personally?

elyte89:
Baba dis ball we talking of self,even as as today some ardent fan of football don't knw d basic rules if u engage dem,such do happen on dis forum at times
