I’m very comfortable with this

nelszx:
If this is anything to go by; our XI vs Burundi
4-3-3 formation
Looking forward to seeing what Chukwueze will do today.

A Europeean, not “an”.

Modified
E in European has a consonant sound, not a vowel sound

Marjoribanks:
An European country is playing an African opposition and you put an European in charge of VAR.
Seriously!!

una don start. no be the same Iwobi play our WC qualifiers?

OMANBALA1:
Etebor is not a better 10 but he is a workhorse. I mean, Iwobi couldn't play against Europeans and now you think he can play the ever physical African team.

Additionally, Etebor was our best dribbler in the world...So, yes , he can dribble and run with the ball.

Lol

do4luv14:
as in ah tire sef,

no be ronaldiho agaian, person wey sidon for bench , dey learn as JJ dey take dance atilugu

mak ah jst sidon dey look

E don do. SE players are tactically and technically sound.

TheGoodJoe:
On the money. Game intelligence. Not individual brilliance. That Villareal goal shows tactical insight in the players. These kind of players are the platforms for coaching magic. Not solo skills.

Lol that’s if they don’t score another

Earthquake3:
They need to get two yellows before they overtake our disclipinary record

And the coach has told them not to conceed any yellows

Na coin dem wan toss?

Sainty92:
Cameron just picked a 6th yellow card against our 7(2yellows for the red).
Let's pray they get another card b4 the end of the game to tie with them. Ahhh, falcons just turn person to wizard... hmm

Wahala dey

Earthquake3:
We have the same record as them

But our disclipinary record is worse

Chile needs to beat Thailand by at least 3-0 -
And Cameroon needs to beat New Zealand by 2-0 to end Super Falcon's hopes of scaling through.

Argentina could still make it if both Chile and Cameroon lose their final group games.

All this calculations eh make e no end in disappointment oh

Abi? d constants Na the ones when don qualify lol

Icon4s:

Nigeria cannot be a constant because we are part of the variables in the eqaution.

Nigeria has been differentiated already with respect to France and Argentina differented with respect to Scotland.

Now the next variables to be differented are DCameroon/DNewzealand and DThailand/DChile.

At the end of the first order differentians the top 2 two variables differented will join 2 other previously differented variables as part of the 4 best variables.

QED.

Corruption from top to bottom. That’s why we can never revolt.

Icon4s:
U know each time I see these our U15 teams I always have the feeling that a proper selection process was not done.

That's why when it comes to the U17 only few of those previous U15 players progress through because a good number of quality players were left out during the U15.

A few connected academies are just benefitting from these U15 programs.

See what I saw on Twitter

Egunje

tbaba1234:
It is ridiculous that Solanke starts ahead of Tammy and calvert-lewin in the under 21. He barely played all season.

1-0
Abeg our girls try

Lol I wouldn’t debate that unless jam body is allowed hahaha
Those guys funny

forgiveness:
France female team can flog NPFL teams.

Lol

darkelf:
As you bring am out na, na wahala ooo

I wasn’t taking a jab at u. I was only saying we have been on the path before when we thought Rohr had something in store waiting to shock the world. I rate SE top 4 in this AFCON and I have said that repeatedly. Clearly shows my stance. WHEN I SEE A GOOD TEAM I SAY IT. I have hope in our U17 team than any other national team at the moment.

Icon4s:
If you have known me long on this thread, u will know I will not see a weakness in the team and keep mute.

Just a couple of days ago I was pointing out our bluntness in the central attacking position. The same Joebie who u quoted to take a jab at me said I have written off the entire team. Same person that has gone back to attack Rohr and the team again.

If there is any one that needs to have a balanced view of the team it is u the pessimists.

I see both the strength and weaknesses of the team and I point them out when I need to. But there are people here that all they do is predict doom. Not just for the SE but for all our national teams.

You can continue to write off the team if you want but please stop coming to take a jab at Icon4s any time any Nigerian team loses. Look for elsewhere to channel your disappointment to.

talk talk talk. make match start...

jihday:
"We are not scared of France," says Ordega. "I like challenges. We went to France last April and the result was pretty bad but that's football.
"We went to Germany in 2011 and lost 8-0 in the preparation for that tournament but in the actual World Cup they struggled to score against us. We know France are a good team though."
Team-mate Oshoala added: "You can't beat my country 8-0 and come back and do it again. No way!
"We have to go all out against them. We want them to know that was just a mistake. We have to return our image. It will be an interesting game."

Hahahaha. All the members in this thread want the best for SE. I can beat my chest to that.

darkelf:
And they say we are unpatriotic

I have no idea what Icons said but we’ve been on this path before

ChrisKels:
Seems there was some kinda tete-a-tete on the course "Reality101", between these three before coming online this night.

Icon4s the target

My list hasn't changed
1. Egypt
2. Cameroon
3. Morocco
4. Nigeria
5. CIV

All those thinking Senegal will do something, let's wait and see.

elyte89:
OK am taking d challenge too...aside Egypt,bin d host

We re winning d cup

Oya..over to d "sheybe I talk am crew"

Cc...chairman of d crew..joebie

Secretary... Humility 017

Pro...chriskel

Welfare....darkelf



Oya make una talk una prediction now o or never

This is a new one from NIke I saw yesterday. Didn't bother to share

mostob:
ladies and gentlemen. .
sisters Ajibade..Oshoala...onome...okeke... say HI

I don't even care if the 3 keepers are all from the NPFL. As long as there is a fierce fight for the #1 shirt.

Mickael2:
Excellent? I am guessing you didn't watch that match against Algeria, dude couldn't even catch a back pass even if he used his hands.

By the way I think at some point Femi Thomas was exceptional, watched some of his games but u don't know about now, put Ajiboye and Ezenwa in the same club and Ezenwa will sit on the bench for 38 league games. I don't really know the names of the goalkeepers but someone can help out. I seriously don't believe that Enyimba's former 3rd choice goalkeeper is the best we can get from the NPFL

thank you! two different situations.

TheGoodJoe:
First thing, sack Alloy Agu and bring back Ike Shorunmu. I think the growth of Enyeama and Ejide happened under his watch. We need competition in that role before we enter problem.

I think in Manchester United, it was about the figure with charisma than goalkeeping talent.

key word, "MIGHT". If what I have is not good enough, I will try my best regardless. Even if it means turning to the domestic league.

Earthquake3:
Who is there to scout, Maduka Okoye that conceded 22 goals in 11 games or the Sylvester guy

When Rohr said the guys in camp are the best we have, he may be right

He won't break my heart. I know what to expect from him.
I am just hoping for surprises. If i get surprised, I will definitely jubilate

Famocious:
Rohr will surely break a lot of hearts at this Afcon 2019..

You can give what you don't have..

I will support the team with my time and eyes not with my heart this time around. Once beaten twice shy

So how does that example hold water relating to SE

TheGoodJoe:
I think Bosnich was okay. Van Der Elst also looked good to me. Taibi started very well and just tanked and became crap over night. Van der Sar brought the stability.

and the keepers between them were whack.

TheGoodJoe:
Schmeichel left Manchester United in 1999 and van der sar joined in 2005. That is six years, but your point still stands.

I don't think we have been ambitious with testing keepers and promoting competition. What have our keeper scouts been doing?

Earthquake3:
I don’t know what else Rohr could have done

"keeping his cards to his chest".. abi u never hear that one before? Even if the game have ended a draw it doesn't still say anything. If we had won, how would it relate to the previously bolded. I really don't care about the outcome of the friendly.

Earthquake3:
What's the point then?
