If he misses Russia, he would have thrown away a golden opportunity to easily play at the WC. No guarantee, he will be in the reckoning in 4 years time.

I knw sabi wetin dey spectacular abt d guy wet ppu dey shout,if not for our own strikers who refuse to put dier thinking cap on

Apparently Tammy Abraham didn't pull up trees with his performance last night.
I understand he completed only 4 out of his 9 attempted passes. Another performance like this, could be bye bye to Baghdad on his international career.

It's almost impossible to prove, particularly with offshore banking and a lot of foreign player transfers.

He would gives and he who recieve both are guilty. The evidential requirements within a court of law will need some one to admit giving or receiving. Nobody will indict themselves.

The other situations are quite subjective and to get the evidence problematic.

The other issues of racism that our boys face that's a whole new subject is wrong and a reflection of corruption as well.

Corruption in the UK is subtle and once on the inside it becomes quite obvious. I will give you some indicative pointers you can fill in the blanks. But first check this link below

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/premier-league-managers-accused-of-taking-transfer-bungs-by-football-agents-a7333941.html

Then consider this

1. Alex Fergus and Sam Allardyce both have sons who are agents. Moyes and Pep have brother who are agents. I could give personal specific examples. What do you thinks going on clear conflict of interest and undue favour.

2. Each player is somebody's meal ticket better new player comes in his meal ticket goes out. Therefore meal ticket must be protected.

3. Unholy alliances which means recruitment manager's are linked with particular agents. So once a player comes in the agent makes sure that everyone will have reason to smile.

4. Manager sells player he gets his cut offshore or any other clandestine arrangement. Dele Alli agents when he was sold to Tottenham were the same agents of his Manager plus he get shares in the company. See below
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4138156/MK-Dons-didn-t-know-former-boss-shares-agent.html

5. Top player in Manchester city youth academy needs to make way for expensive import. In contrived practice game academy strikers told, "Mate we know what you can do, so today your job is to give the ball to Enrico" (for example) . Obviously Enrico looks great scores goals and they then justify paying £1million for a 15/16 year old. Recruitment team are appeased by agent after hefty unjustified transfer fee.

6. Championship team in the Midlands see video of prospective striker. Tell his representative, can't bring him in, he's going to prevent our two England youths from progressing. In other words he is better than our strikers and what's in it for me if we sign him.

7. Premiership team player goes on trial after various attempts prevent player from coming in. Finally plays in one game scores a hatrick and two assists contract offered under public duress. But later withdrawn on break down of communication.

I could go on and on and Onazi that's a small glimpse from mainly personal experiences.


With national team set up its very difficult to manipulate the system without a players meeting the
required standards. Particularly with all the structured academy games and statistics there for all to see week in week out.

Rabah Madjer : Nigeria Refused To Take The Game Easy Despite World Cup




Algeria national team coach Rabah Madjer was satisfied with his side's 1-1 draw with Nigeria on Friday night, and admitted that the North Africans would have won if not for the opportunities they missed.

Israeli-based midfielder John Ogu broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute with a shot from distance, and the Super Eagles came so close to sealing their fifth win of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers but a controversial penalty was converted by Porto's Brahimi in the 88th minute.

''Frankly, we could not ask more to this team. We faced a very tough team from Nigeria, who did not let it go despite their World Cup qualification earned even before this match. We tried to develop our game despite the difficulties,'' Madjer said at a press conference attended by Le Buteur.

''That said, I think that what I saw tonight, the future of this selection looks bright. There are many positive things to remember, though, I repeat, not everything has been perfect.

''I think this draw is satisfying even if we could have won if we had converted the opportunities we got , especially in the second half.''

Despite the draw, Algeria finished last in Group B, having failed to register a win in the group stage for the first time since CAF expanded the qualifiers to 4-5 teams.

MetalJigsaw:
I don't think that's our WC Jersey... It can't be.

BascoVanVeli:
I am not teaching English but IMO that was not the right choice of word. African players in general won't fall to the ground and start rolling around. It has been imbedded in the South Americans who do and tbh it is a dirty and disgusting habit that takes away from the game like how Sergio Ramos spoilt the champions league finals. I personally respect penalty divers way more than people who go looking for red cards.

solonnachi:
I agree with you. Iwobi is also becoming fat that he can't run at times and make necessary tackles & was sluggish. Was the bad pitch also responsible for that?

Oasis007:
Prof Joe!

I understand your Point, and kinda appreciate your in depth Knowledge in the Game, but there is something I wanna make clear Boss;

Managers and Coaches know what's good for the Players, they see them in Training, they know their capabilities and weaknesses. Can Iwobi play 10...?! Yes! But can he play the Position satisfactorily?! Not Sure!

I remember Dudes claiming Etebo best Position is AM, he was tried there Yesterday and we all saw he's ain't made for the Position.

Mkhtaryan claimed his best Position is 10, and Mourinho was playing him out of Position last Season. He gets his chances this Season, he was exceptional in the few Matches, but now turns out to be a ghost of himself.

At Dortmund, he played mostly on the LW, he banged Goals and Assists, won best Player in the League..... yet he's not satisfied playing on the Wing at United. I believe he has seen the Light now!

I may sound too rigid with my Submission on Iwobi best Position, but I believe his Handlers ain't making Mistakes by playing him on the Wing Sir.

solonnachi:
This is enough reason to play Iwobi in the 10 role and not Etebo who struggled last night. Same thing is Iheanacho playing supporting striker not winger.

BascoVanVeli:
U can say savvy but saying the guy is not smart sounds very disrespectful. He was well discipline IMO no matter what he said Brahimi had no right to do what he did. I expect FIFA to take action.

Icon4s:
The coaches need to teach our players how to be actors on the pitch.

That moment when Brahimi headed Shehu, he had no business being on his feet.

He ought to have fallen and rolled as if a sledge harmer was used on him.

That would probably have influenced the ref to show Brahimi the red card. These are some of the tricks South Americans and Europeans use to edge out their opponents when there is nothing to separate the two.

This singular act can prove crucial in a world cup game.

komekn:
The exercise is to see who my best players are and to test thier competency.

I would start Aina as RB we do not know how good Shehu is until thier is someone to compare him too.

Back to my principle club form should be the basis for inclusion all things being equal.

Ebuehi I really don't know how good his club form is. How outstanding is he in the Eredivisie. But this is a good test for him he should be in the mix.

Ebuehi is not able to replace Etebo that's not his position. That's unfair it's almost setting him up to fail.

Oasis007:
It's kinda funny when you come online and read Stuffs like Iwobi is the best AM option for Nigeria. Perhaps they think he's the new JayJay.

Iwobi is a Winger, in the Mould of Sanchez. He ain't a creative Midfielder who can orchestrate the Game from the Middle. Rather a type that can do the damages from the either Wings.

ykalhaji:
Anybody watched Tammy Abraham debut for England today, how was his game ? Does any one really think he has a future in their senior team ?

Kog45:
Good rating Joebie,but i want to base my comment on Ezenwa and Nwakaeme based on your rating.

Ezenwa 5 clearly showed today is not our man for the world cup and this w definitely increase the call for Enyeama and his performance today has opened the door for others to compete again,just too glaring he can't do it.

A lot praise Ezenwa due to his performance against Cameroon and Zambia but watching the two matches all over again he did nothing special than the confidence he imposed which Akpeyi always lacking,apart from confidence Akpeyi is better.

Now we are having not so real keeper in Ezenwa and shaking Akpeyi,what do we do if Enyeama refused to come out of retirement.

A lot may argue this but I can tell anybody who care to listen that Dele Ajiboye is better than Ezenwa and Akpeyi.

There is need to give Uzoho and Alampasu chance,truly the two guys are young but they are talented,the height is there and having European club tutelage is an advantage.

Rohr and his coaching crew especially goalkeeper trainer should pay special attention to Uzoho not easy to be in goal for Deportivo at a very young age,Alampasu need to be recalled and let us see him in action,also Dele Ajiboye cos he is better than Ezenwa and Akpeyi.

Nwakaeme was a huge mistake but what baffled me was the way Nwakaeme was rated on this thread,honestly Kayode is far better,not a super eagle material.

Rohr should stop calling players based on recommendation from outside his crew,he should send his scout out cos just too embarrassing see player like Nwakaeme in eagles colour,funny enough Nwakaeme and Aaron Samuel were called up during Cameroon match.

junnyjake:
I would have liked to watch this video.







But I'd rather use my data to watch children Cartoons on YouTube.

Mujtahida:
Omo wetin you want make I do. Complaining is more painful, my grating on my sensibilities than defeat. It's better the man is sacked so that the complaints can stop.

Humility017:
nwakeme impressed only you oooo oga goodjoe....

you mean that guy impressed you...? then you can easily be impressed...
anyway the dude is not an SE material...

Icon79:
The goal was fantastic. The other parts of his game. Not so good.


O pari

Mujtahida:
Rohr should be sacked. Simple. And I am serious.

TheGoodJoe:

Nwakaeme impressed me with his hard work. Especially when he switched roles to play on the side. His tracking back was good and he put in work to help the defence.

Onyekuru showed confidence and nice touches. Sad the pitch did not allow us see the pace our forwards could bring. Algerians looked better and I suspect it has to do with the studs. This should be a lesson for us spending long time away from the venue.

TheGoodJoe:
Phenomenal. That one is not even a debate. From the first to second half, Ogu was the most consistent player behind Brahimi. From the start of the game, he stood out and he is clearly the best defensive midfielder I have seen in years play for the Super Eagles when it concerns all round play.

TheGoodJoe:
The match was an analyst nightmare because of how terrible the pitch was. We had a balance mix of players but the pitch made it difficult for the players to string simple passes, let alone long balls.

The forwards and full back had a terrible time running the length of the pitch. On a better pitch, this team would have performed far better.
