make we arrange friendly with San Marino. If we no beat them 1-0 at least, I change my moniker.

nairalandankrah:
With Rohr at the helm, eagles fans can only dream of this kind of scoreline...

and una dey surprised say Olise turn down Naija for Algeria. And Ike Ugbo no even dey patient to fight for a spot.
in fact if FIFA change player eligibility laws to allow players switch as the like many of our players go port

JohnBullMySon:
For your mind he'll reject Aston Villa for Naija and be owed salary ahbi. You sure say your source no be meth ?

There has been talks about Aribo having interests from various EPL clubs. I wouldn't be surprised as he was one of Gerard's top players.

Italy vs Portugal eh? who u dey wish bad thing?

Icon79:
Haha. Trouble maker

Big Joe, I ain’t kidding tho. They said that Gerard rates him highly and you know he still hasn’t reached his potentials yet.

And by the way, Switzerland just won their World Cup qualifying group, which means Italy goes to the playoffs. How I wish that Italy would draw Portugal in the playoffs


O pari

keeping it to my chest

JohnBullMySon:
Which sources

My sources tell me Gerrard is interested in the SE job.

Icon79:
Hey, my sources are saying that Steven Gerard plans to bring Aribo to Aston Villa during this January transfer window. The word is that Gerard rates him highly.

Those in the know, can anyone confirm this info?


O pari

we are saying the same thing na.

I tell you say I like am like that? I am just saying the reality. We can only hope for a better coach that will utilize our talents well next time.

Blueelf:
Lol

Bros Joebie

Remember Rohr telling us this same story in 2018 WC? How that our boys then were young and that they were a team for 2022 WC

Well, 2022 WC is around the corner and we haven't seen the improvement. Rather, we have declined

I won't be surprised if we don't qualify but I don't wish for such

But thinking deeply about it, even if we qualify, are we going to the WC to make up the numbers again?

Are we not tired of mediocre outings?

Na wa!!

fake Rohr quotes:

"I told you it will be very difficult against Liberia with our young team. But our captain brought his experience and won the match for us"

fake Rohr quotes:

"Samuel just came back from an injury. We have to be careful bringing him in. Next game we will see. Maybe he plays"

you read my first line and you also read where I said we are looking at the players a coach has at their disposal and you still dey yan wetin u dey yan.. The irony is some of us do not the see the true potential of the Super Eagles.

fabyom:
How did Ethiopia look against Ghana? How did Benin look against us in their backyard? @joebie Even Carpe Verde at their backyard apart from their goal they did nothing in 90 minutes playing against our bench!

Tell fabyom to tell us what we should admire in our team play oh.

Ppogbae:
We cannot admire their defence?

Ghana no get strikers. Even the commentator stated that fact.
We are looking at what a coach has at his disposal and what he can do with them. If all Ghana can do is defend, then defend well when it matters most.
Today, they were very organised at doing that. If it was this South Africa team that played against us they would look like one top team. South Africa looked so ordinary against Ghana.

fabyom:
If it was Nigeria that played this way against South Africa all hell would have been let loose. But here comes some hypocrites praising the Ghanaian coach cos his team won by a dubious penalty. A team that had no shot on target in 90 minutes! Okay, oo!

u read the comment I reply to?

We dey struggle to break kurukere defences you dey knack hand for chest. Anyways don't digress, my position was never about who is the better side, but about the football federation knowing when to sack a coach.

JohnBullMySon:
Honestly, nothing impressive about them. Nigeria will beat this Ghanian side I watched. I wonder why una like to hype other African teams too much.

one of the several countries when get healthy pride.

charlesemeka85:
Ghana get sense on time sack akonnor if not dem for finish 3rd for that group

na the same Rohr na.. that's why I said I hope NFF do the right thing.

Modified.
I knew we would achieve nothing with Rorh long time ago.

elyte89:
We av been always predicting a "formidable" side when a mundial is abt coming or just concluded.. Keep repeating same cycle

No b so we talk after Russia 2018..fast forward to today..nothing has really changed

ooof. its over for South Africa!!!!

Suleimana of Ghana

charlesemeka85:
who missed?

1 more minute for Ghana..

I am just looking forward to Canada,USA,Mexico 2026. I think our side will be very formidable by then. We just need our boys to make it to this world cup at least to get some experience. And after Qatar I hope NFF does the right thing. Well let's qualify for Qatar first.

what a miss!

South Africa got everything right except real talents.

JohnBullMySon:
All this poor calls will just add to people's heartbreak.

Honestly I somehow wish South Africa could qualify. They really have been dedicated to their football development and keep losing out, first AFCON and then WC. Also they have been getting a lot of negativity online. I've not seen anyone outside SA support them. The whole Africa seems to prefer Ghana.

EVen this Musa Muhammed is better than Shehu. I remember when he had his SE debut, he didn't put any foot wrong.. He played like a regualr SE player..Rohr say make Musa Muhammed go find better club before he go recall am. Fast-forward, today, Shehu still dey get call up.

Surebaba01:
Akpoguma

The point is the guy has not been outstanding in SE and he can definitely be in future considering his age.
Whether he sign for EPL club or not the earlier point still stands.

charlesemeka85:
okoye the first 9ja keeper to play in the epl and 9ja’s first choice

If u no like am hit head for the nearest wall

Prior to this season he has also played a considerable percentage of games as an RB.

andrewbaba44:
Akpoguma is a cb normally nah ,because say he Dey play RB this days no mean say e no be CB

your argument always dey get as e be.
soon you will start to argue which league is better.

Modifed
I was very clear initially when I implied my comparison is based on what they have done in the national team.

forgiveness:
Can you play in Seria A or EPL without defensive attribute?

Sir, it is true he played a lot as an RB when he was a German junior international.
As a matter of fact he played both positions enough throughout his career for us to term him versatile.

Kog45:
Charles he started as RB and I remember vividly during U20 WC he was deployed as RB.

Balogun and Ekong partnership cannot be distorted like that,is either Balogun stay and Awaziem or Akpogunma pairing him.

Awaziem as a CB for eagles was not that impressived but the new Awaziem am seeing now should pair Balogun and let see what he can do....As I always saying Ekong can never make my team.

who is debating that? I believe he was quoted as saying the same thing. But he has played RB/RWB enough for Rohr to try him there.

charlesemeka85:
him playing there because of injuries at hoffenheim doesn’t mk him a wing back or rb

Kevin is a cb, a position he has played right from karlsruhe youth team and German u20 to 21 teams

He showed his strengths more in attacking forays. We are saying the same thing. In a 3-5-2 set up he is my first choice.
In a defensive set up, he is not clearly better than the others.

forgiveness:
He is better than Awaziem in green white green. His record at the last AFCON is there for all to see.

Agboguma is essentially a CB. But na RB/RWB he dey play pass for club these days. Let's wait till he plays CB for us and does a great job before we start to dey add am for our line up.

charlesemeka85:
who told u Kevin is no cb? Una Dey watch ball at all abi because rohr once played him as a rb? Mk una no Dey talk nonsense here

arguably our best wing back.

isan:
As a RWB or LWB aina could not have been worse than collins or Simon and Rorh bench him for 90 minutes

Aina is probably our best Wing Back. As a full back, he's not better than Awaziem on the right or Zaidu/Collins on the left. He could rub shoulders with them but not clearly better. Let's leave club football and talk Green White Green.

forgiveness:
Hmmm! You don’t even know Awaziem more than me.

I was the one that first clamored for his invitation here when he broke into Porto’s first team.

Then, he played as a DMF before he was moved to defence.

Aina is a better RB or LB than him. That’s a fact.

"It will not be easy against Cape Verde. They are a very good team. But we will put in our best to finish the job"

Odunayaw:
This is exactly how it is written in Rohr's mind. Play to win? Nay!

Really, Africa deserves just 3 slots.

ChrisKels:
Na so una wan take win AFCON and qualify for World cup? I hope we get paired with Ivory Coast
