BascoVanVeli:
Highlights of the game.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYz6XigFzrc

set piece, my fear about peseiro. His teams are notoriously poor at defending them

Starting 11: Uzoho; Awaziem, Ajayi, Ekong, Bassey; Faisal, Iwobi, Aribo, Simon; Moffi, Dessers.

BascoVanVeli:
Since when

Buhari is in Spain, I guess important members of the Nigerian community came to visit

In basketball, FIBA have replaced Nigeria with mali at the oncoming 2022 women basketball World Cup

AndSunGorilla:
Apart from Dennis, are we seeing any new face again besides the guys who played against Mexico? With Dennis available, Ishaq may not be able to start the game today. I was hoping that he would get more time. With Bonnke out, I would think that Madu would start.

owngoal have predicted Awaziem Ekong Bassey, Aina Moses Dennis Aribo Iwobi, Dessers Moffi

Danielnino00:
So Pseiro came with his own video analyst (his son)... What now happens to Smartsmith (as the rumours said) who was appointed as the team video analyst??

I guess they can work together

A long time follower of the Nigerian league will definitely remember the Belgian coach called Maurice Cooreman, it has been reported that he died in Belgium at the age of 79

This tweet from the NFF media officer suggest we are getting a new kit

Emmanuel Dennis now in camp

andrewbaba44:
Ben white is not that bad ,but mehn he is not a 50 million player ,arsenal wenger won’t buy such player for arsenal ,Na arteta go Dey follow media hype go Dey buy Ben white ,William saliba is a better player

he bought Mustafi for 35mill tho

COOL10:
You're correct on the Osimhen case.

I remember Amokachi once say in his own words that the 'half casts' are not true Nigerians and that they do not know what it means to play for Nigeria. Balogun's name also came into the picture.

According to some Nigerians, home based players are more Nigerian than foreign born players just because of contrasting backgrounds.

Hunger and dedication is now determined by who they feel is ajekpako and who is ajebutter.

That is such a warped way of viewing things.

Amokachi is just a hypocrite, if his children were good enough to play proper football he won’t say that. Nigerians love the ‘he don too suffer’ story , that’s why Buhari easily scammed us and became president

andrewbaba44:
Akpoguma needs to be given a chance

I think he will, the 3 centre backs didn’t impress. We need real quality there

Blueelf:
He could've saved the first goal

Still not convinced

Our defence looked in total disarray at time

It's obvious we are lacking a commanding CB. Please Ekong should just go to Stanbic IBTC pension managers and collect his pension. HE is done

huh! Uzoho should have saved that? I’m certain you didn’t watch the game

COOL10:
To those low grade nitwits who call themselves journalists who have always been of the opinion that foreign born players lack the zeal and commitment whenever they play for Nigeria: Just take a look at Dessers' performance today. Helping with the midfield, holding up play, excellent runs from deep, linking up with his wingers.


I don't want to call Iwobi a foreign born as he was born in Nigeria but he's still more or less an 'oyibo', yet he played his heart out. Iwobi played like he was on drugs .

Dedication has no boundaries. It's not by race neither is it by colour of skin. You could say it's the 'New Coach effect' but I highly doubt that.

I'm also speaking to those at the glass house : If you feel you or your 'special players' are more Nigerian than these boys because they look different and act different, you should really be ashamed of your racist condescending selves.

I don talk my own.

Aribo is the Nigerian player that have played most games this season with well over 50 games, he could have easily opted out of both friendly games like a certain ‘home born player’ called Osimhen. While I’m not criticizing Osimhen and others who wanted to rest but none of the foreign born players have ever given us a reason to question their dedication to the team

Mbaoma on for Moffi

Ekong owngoal

Samueltemi337:
why Bassey nor deliver this kind cross against Ghana

coach instructions boss

Once again God punish Eguavoen, should have told these players to pump Osimhen with crosses against Ghana

Dessersssssssss

Faisal Sani in for Bonnke

Boomgist:
A 3/ 5 man defense has failed to favor the super eagles , why then do the handlers keep using it?

We are been out played here, I hope they don't give a speech citing "NEW COACH" as the reason for this performance.

If this is the tactics they plan to dish out to supportes, I suggest they have a rethink.

guy calm down, even world best Guardiola came 3rd in his first epl season. ‘New coach’ is a very valid excuse

Bonnke down with a knock

TheLoneCitizen:
NGA's football been good though, but the formation, no!

just gotten better but the attack is nonexistent

Scores suppose don reach 4 by now

Mexico 1-0
Awaziem failed to track his runner

This place be like home for Mexico, their fans are very loud

M7even:
Please, What time is the Nigerian game.
Secondly does anyone have a link to watch the match

Modified
It's gonna be 3 am Nigerian time
It's on hesgoal .

1am it will be on NFF YouTube page

Samueltemi337:
According to owngoal
it's a 3-5-2 formation


here's the line up


Francis Uzoho
Chidozie Awaziem
William Ekong
Semi Ajayi
Innocent Bonke
Alex Iwobi
Joe Aribo
Moses Simon
Calvin Bassey
Terem Moffi
Cyriel Dessers

them pack 500 home based players go baba no even start 1

Ola Aina injured, almost certainly not play.

Curtisaxel10:
Exactly what I was about to say. I think Rohr had the same problem. On many occasions it was clear that Rohr was struggling to properly express himself. I guess this was one of his weak points.

There are some complex ideas that you may need to communicate to your players which requires competence in the language of communication.

An interpreter would be great for the training sessions but what about on the pitch? Will he shout instructions through an interpreter?.

I think going forward, the NFF should focus on getting English coaches. Most of our players are born or based there anyway. They would be on the same wavelength with the players in terms of culture and language.

Aguero, Tevez and most South American players struggled with English while in the EPL that didn’t make them less successful. Conte’s English is very Italian but he won the epl with Chelsea. Coach wey sabi sabi, language can never be a hinderance

Karlovych:
We stand a better chance of landing Azeez than Chukwemeka as Austria will most likely call him up if he doesn't make the England team, similar to what happened in Ike Ugbo's case and Canada (it will take centuries before the lazy NFF remember his documentation for switching teams).

Also there are several players who have been called up to senior teams and capped that weren't established first team players for the clubs, the likes of Walcott and Solanke weren't first team regulars when they played for England.

anything to throw dirt at the NFF, Ugbo will struggle to make SE 2nd string team. We don’t need him
