Very good lineup.
Except that Collins was said to have been subtituted 15 minutes to the end of his club's match. I hope it isn't serious.

I want to see those wicked passes from Iwobi.


November 17! Where art thou?

Curtisaxel7:
Lol. John Ogu is no libero. He can't play there. If only we had Mikel.....

Danielnino00:
Don't be surprised if Agu starts ahead of Ogu ooo... Ogu's lack of pace might be a problem especially if Etebo goes forward too often.

But I believe Rohr might want to reward Ogu for his patience with a start.. ...The man rewards loyalty. .

Danielnino00:
Good lineup. .But there's really no need for a 3-5-2 IMO.. Balogun doesn't have to start cus he is match rusty.. Starting Omeruo and Ekong with him won't prevent him from performing poorly... it was evident against Libya.

SAFA to lift Serero ban?


SAFA are looking at recalling Holland-based midfielder Thulani Serero for the AFCON qualifier with Nigeria next month.

SAFA banned Serero from playing for Bafana Bafana in February after he refused to report for national duty unless he was guaranteed game-time in Stuart Baxter's side for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Senegal last year.

The Vitesse playmaker was benched in the previous three internationals, twice against Cape Verde and against Burkina Faso.

In a Dutch media report in November 2017, Serero was infamously quoted as saying: "The sofa in Arnhem is more comfortable than the South African bench.



"If the national team wants me, then I must play. As the situation is now I don't want to go."

But according to sources at SAFA, the national association are making efforts to patch things up with the former Ajax Amsterdam man.

"There has been contact. SAFA are keen to bring back Serero to Bafana Bafana," says a source.

"He could be included in the squad to be announced by Stuart Baxter for the game against Nigera."

Group E leaders Nigeria have already named their squad to face Bafana, which is notably without ex-Chelsea star John Obi Mikel.

The Super Eagles have nine points from four games - a point more than South Africa with two matches left.

Bafana will host the West Africans on November 17 before concluding their campaign with a trip to Libya (four points) on November 23.

The top two sides in each group will qualify for Cameroon 2019.

"As a man thinketh so he is"

To the man who has no car, seeing some one driving a basic car playing music with the A/C on, will seem like, Dude is showing off"

I do not have to prove anything on a faceless , that would be stupidity.

But the things i talk about are for me every day occurrences they are simply no biggie , to you they may be, but not to me. If you like believe if you like no believe , it adds nothing or takes away nothing.

BascoVanVeli:
Tell me where I spoke out of topic? I comprehended your point just fine and I don't agree

BascoVanVeli:
How do you blame Rohr when he benched Onazi at the world cup. That right there shows no shirt is safe. Even captain Musa had his time on the bench

tbaba1234:
After the WC, Onazi liked some social media posts criticizing Rohr. I thought that was unprofessional.

ChrisKels:
Guys it is official, Mikel has taken a sabbatical leave from the national team duties and our mumu coach is doing nothing to inject new players in his position. This Rohr is damne clueless. Very very annoying thing.


Gernot Rohr; “Mikel told me that he will tell me when he will be ready to come back. He didn’t tell me yet. So I wait,”

“I hope that we can go with him to Afcon and win it for him.”

tbaba1234:
I think, this proves all is not right between Onazi and Rohr.

Why would you drop Onazi to invite Agu?

Icon4s:
Joebie you are being emotively biased o.

tbaba1234:
Otigba turned down an invite from Hungary to wait for Nigeria and we never invited him.

Ebere Eze and Ejaria have made it clear that Nigeria is their first choice. Ejaria came all the way from England to audition for under 17 and was part of the 2013 under17 team before Arsenal called him back. He would have gone to the WC with Iheanacho and co.

Semi Ajayi played under 20 for Nigeria. He did not wait to be called by England. He was at Arsenal at the time.

There are several players who will jump at the chance if we invite them.

Curtisaxel7:
But to be honest, that is the same way EVERY SINGLE FB player looks at Nigeria. And that includes Iwobi, Aina and co. It's always Europe first before Nigeria. Can you name a single FB player we have now who stood a good chance of making his foreign team before choosing us?

Let's face it bro, these guys see us as a backup option. And I don't blame them.

Nedville:
I'm getting a victor moses vibe from him....if you ask me, I think we should just forget about him....he's probably seeing Nigeria as a step down and a huge disappointment... Not that I blame him sha

Icon4s:
U for kuku ask say "what if Rohr gets injured".

Was Uzoho part of our WC qualifiers? Do we not have goalies that kept goal in those games?

komekn:
There is way more justification for the invitation of Awoniyi than Osimhen.

There is clear favoritism in the NFF selection.

junnyjake:
I seriously don't know how to react to this list.

But it's all good.
