As expected but not too bad to be discarded as some suppose.

forgiveness:
Actually, it's in regards to Akpeyi.

forgiveness:
Some people will not like this.

realpoacher:
You guys should stop all this talks about Egypt when you haven't played Cameroon.

What is wrong with all of you?... You are sidelined Cameroon like they don't exist yet focusing on Egypt.

Did France '98 teach you guys anything? ...

Have we been particularly impressive at this tournament?

Have we been scoring goals?

Have we been breaking down defences?

Have we been playing scintillating football?

What's wrong with y'all?

You guys should be come down to earth and analyze each game as it comes.

Lolz.. funny superstition. If football thrives on superstitions, Ghana should be winning this AFCON

AFCON 2019: Rohr Bars FG Delegation from Super Eagles’ Camp

With less than 24 hours to the second round knockout encounter between Nigeria and Cameroon, the Super Eagles’ Head Coach Gernot Rohr, has barred his players from all forms of activities that could distract the team from underperforming during the match tomorrow.


The action which took effect from yesterday will most likely affect the large delegation of Federal Government entourage that will arrive Cairo today before heading to Alexandria for the epic clash tomorrow.

On Wednesday night, the coach allowed his wards free reign to interact with the media, friends and relatives around at their hotel base lobby.

However, begining from yesterday morning, the rhythm changed as the players were confined to regimented life style until after tomorrow’s match.


But when the high-powered delegation from The Presidency that will include Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Speaker of House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, the governors of Lagos, Delta and political aides storm the coastal city of Alexandria before the match, there will be practically nobody to welcome them into the team’s camp except the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick and his board members who THISDAY learnt will be more diplomatic in handling the matter.

Pinnick is likely to prevail on the government delegation to see reason with the Franco-German tactician’s de ision as his job could be on the line should the team fail to beat Cameroon and proceed to the quarter final.


“Gernot Rohr wanted outright concentration and will not want anything to disrupt the calmness of his players and the tranquility of the environment.

“He wants Eagles to be more focused than before for the match against Cameroon on Saturday,” a top official hinted THISDAY in Alexandria yesterday evening.

The coach had insisted that the players must be in their rooms for their afternoon siesta which was between 2-4pm and no loitering, no visitors nor telephone activities are expected from the players until after the match on Saturday.


The media had its own dose of the camp ethos last night as they were barred from the training arena as the team trained behind closed door for tactical reasons. Before now, the media were allowed to see the first 15 minutes before the cameras are shut down

what's the difference between Dunga and Rhor?

phamarsenal:
Hmm everyone is mentioning Egypt as if southafrica is a pushover, d Egyptians to me HV not been spectacular on this tournament, d only tin going for dem is DAT massive crowd beind dem...I won't b supriaed if we witness an upset on Saturday

phamarsenal:
I had to watch d highlight BTW super eagles and Cameroon, where we defeated dem 4nil, wit virtually almost d same squad DAT we HV nw apart from some few changes here and dere...BT d most notable difference BTW d present squad and d other one is d absence of a certain victor moses, his trickery and pace on d wings and surprisingly his unselfishness was a thorn in d flesh of d indomitable lions. I don't wanna say we miss him, even though he would HV been a good addition to d squad BT I believe DAT we HV similar players DAT can do damage to d Cameroonians even though dey r quite young. He has to start either chukwueze or onyrkuru on Saturday because dey can stretch DAT defence and open up opportunities for others to score. BT if he decides to play safe like he always does, den am afraid we should jst start to book our flight tickets back home because dere is no way we would win if dat match goes to penalties, not with DAT Cameroon goalkeeper

Humility017:
bro...Rohr is just the problem of that team..
I wish one of us here can take over his job just for this afcon.

Egypt can't beat us if we really play to our potentials but Rohr is just the problem.

I expect him to be sacked later next week after loosing to Egypt.

Humility017:
No...but we have a team better than Cameroon national team.

in potentials and abilities the super eagles is better....
all we need do is to play oshimen as CF put in ighalo in the last 30 mins.
musa and chuks on both flanks...
Iwobi on the 10 role... Aina play the RB and Collins LB and Balogun/Ekong and omeruo play the CBs role.

we can get some results with this.... kalu/Henry can come in later to outrun the Cameroonian defense...Simon Moses can come in as a 10 also for iwobi if he gets tired.

Humility017:
oga Nigeria will beat Cameroon come this weekend...
my only fear is Egypt that await us...

kluivert obviously learnt nothing from Louis Van Gaal... him and seedorf are the worst Dutch coaches I have seen since a decade now.

we will beat them....

aniomafirstson:
I am not underrating them but most of the comments I see here are irritating.
Psychologically they are afraid of the Nigerian team weather we like to admit or not and I don't even see anything spectacular about their gameplay.

darkelf:
This is a different Cameroon bro. Never underrate your opponents. They have a different technical crew. They have also not conceded any goals in their group stages while our attack has been poor.

krattoss:
Mehn I no go lie,I will loose interest in this AFCON if we crash out in this round 16, and I no wan loose interest

If Egypt eventually crashes out against South Africa, then this year's AFCON will go into records as the AFCON with the least spectators in the history of AFCON..cos it's only the Pharaohs the pulls amazingly crowd.

Truidstar:
Oga, please get my point. Brazil apart Neymer does not have a player that comes close to Messi and Ronaldo. This was the same Brazil at a time that had Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho. Each of these players a game changer on his own. Argentina had the Gabriel Batistuta, Pablo Aimar and the like. They just have Messi who will soon be over the hill. Same with the Germans. These teams have evolved to play without game changers (except Argentina, still depends on Messi). Our so called limitations can be our greatest strength in the hands of a brilliant coach.

Humility017:
and so.... we won them in 2004 by simply techniques and smartness.
in that match kanu played even passed the ball for utaka's goal, osaze played too and we took our chances so well.

you don't have to jam body to win them... I it requires jam body they would have been winning light skinned countries in the world cups... since 2002.

we need to utilize our chances.... so well.

OMANBALA1:
Bros, Cameroon play very good football plus their extra jam body. The indomitable Lions are not just about jam body

Danielnino00:
In short,if we has lost that game, nobody will be saying Keshi was a better tactician than Rohr is ..

Humility017:
that guy will keep finding it difficult to score goals..... you won't understand.
in a tourney like this...an unknown player often steal the show.
Sunday MBa did so at the last afcon.

Humility017:
Ighalo is killing our football...the earlier we know this the better for us.

Dude is also selfish...very selfish.

balogun have no problem...I won't blame him much for that errors....ogu does not sense of his own too...
for a player that have played football that long not to be able to read games shows the problem we have in that team...

balogun and other defenders...should be made to know that we expect them to score from set pieces...

they barely know how to put their heights to use...so pathetic.
sometimes I try find the German traits in him.... Germans make use of corner kicks like penalties... but this one and his uncle coach are something else

Truidstar:
The right word is our football has evolved not regressed. Brazil used to have Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho in a Generation. They don't have that anymore they have evolved to cope with their limitations. That's what we need to do too.

TheSuperNerd:
Names of those who don't see us winning the Cameroun game + Those who don't want us to win sef...
