Thank you so much. I had wanted to ask how many of those players were actually born in Morocco after seeing tbaba1234 's post earlier. I was too lazy to do the research. I remember the commentator saying something to that effect in their game against CIV.

With Raja Casablanca as Africa's Champions they should have put faith in their home based players in order not to kill the development of their league. I love my sarcasm.

Modified.
Oh and let me add, the commentator said something like most of them couldn't speak Arabic.
aha!!! If it were Nigeria..

Mujtahida:
Morocco lineup in the crucial WC qualifier in Abidjan:
4 players born in Holland
4 players born in France
2 players born in Spain
Just one born in Morocco - and he grew up in Belgium

If it was Nigeria?

your moniker should be wayodude
I'm sure BBC would figure.

jobsat34:
I ve given him more than 10 votes already..
Still counting tho..

So Ogu is now phenomenal, creative etc.. oya make una add more oh
kwantinue!!

Loogan:
Your the funny one, and it's unfortunate you people like to drag players down just to defend some silly point of yours.
I don't understand you, if scoring a curler from 25yards out is not being creative, then what is? Is it until he gives 3assists in one match before you acknowledge he has some creativity in his game.
Apart from mikel who's the most creative center midfielder we have in the team presently? Since you know a lot about creativity from midfield.

Rohr will make the best decision for the interest of the team, considering other factors.
For now, Aina is ahead of Echiejile at LB. If Idowu fails to come better than Aina at LB, it will be in the best interest of the team to keep Aina at LB.
Modified:
But if Idowu proves to be a very solid LB, then we can start talking about who is a better RB between Aina and Shehu. Then Aina should have his chance at RB in friendlies.

komekn:
We do not conclusively yet because Aina best RB in the championship has not been allowed to play his natural RB position so that a direct comparison can be made to Shehu.

go try for cyber cafe. No be phone u first try use?

safarigirl:
who I wan send am to?Who I know?

Ehen send the link to someone who don't care a thing about football to vote for you.

safarigirl:
for some reason, I can't vote

Tried with opera mini and it didn't even pop up....something about JavaScript

Tried with the main browser and it says I have to enable cookies.... It's enabled in the settings, me I dunno again.

So how many of us have voted? All those claiming more patriotic than foreign-borns. Now it's time for you to take action. Vote!

My lineup versus Argentina with 6 substitutions.

How can we still be looking for a CF when we have someone in the mold of Ogu, who only needs to fall back and fire a long range shot.

That midfield go leak well well oh

pyrex23:
Subs..
Idowu for aina
Tyronne for shehu
Might be good if we want to go all attack..

If he performed badly I would say. But wetin most of una go talk before, especially after claiming that he cursed us, slapped us in the face etc.
I expect bad belle. You guys are not qualified to comment on Tammy's performance OBJECTIVELY.

jihday:
weytin you go talk before, aren't you his biggest supporter here

I voted Victor Moses because I sincerely think he is best.
Having said that, this is more like patriotism. ACTIVELY supporting one's country or countrymen over others.

This is not an example of nepotism.

Taliban:
Joebie is this part of corruption the one called nepotism

Something I noticed about Nwakaeme. He was calm and very confident with his passes. As a full debutant, we want to see that hunger to impress at least.

Mickael2:
Ikechukwu and Martins still dey ooo. You guys have been saying Nwakaeme is better than them, he has been tested and proven unworthy. Next now is Onuachu, they will be going one by one

I read the stories and also posted the ratings yesterday. I reiterate, for a debutant, he had a decent game. Don't also forget it was a high level friendly and the boy acquitted himself pretty well. Shows he can play at a really high level

Humility017:
leave him and let him be giving himself hope there.....
same match I follwed even though I never watched the full 90 minutes I read daily mail and mirror uk assess the match...
and someone is telling me....a player who only was going behind defenders and could utilize any of the crosses from sterling and co... was well positioned and had a good game.....

Two different things: Poll for who impressed the most.
And
My opinion on Tammy's game.

Did you watch the game? It's expected that most of you won't say anything good about Tammy especially at this stage.
If he had a bad game from what i've seen so far, I will say it as it is.

Famocious:
Oga Joebie...not surprise with your verdict though

lol

2016 - Marco van Basten to Hakim Ziyech: "How stupid can you be to choose Morocco if you are in contention for the Dutch national team?”

2017 - Hakim Ziyech helps Morocco reach #Russia2018... The Dutch didn't qualify.

ENG vs GER

I'm almost done watching the first half

For a debutant, Tammy had a pretty good game. Good positional awareness. Was never overwhelmed by the occasion. Good link ups. Did not play like a debutant. Great attempt at goal. So far i'd give him a 7/10.

Just did.

tbaba1234:
Please vote Victor Moses for BBC African Footballer of the Year... Forget your club side and vote for Moses..

We have the numbers advantage, let us take advantage of it..

let me check.. actually watched it on SS

Mujtahida:
I can't find the complete match online. Help me with any links

oh it was actually an old post I commented on? My bad..
Must have got it wrong while navigating.

TheGoodJoe:
The Oshaniwa post you dug up.

I don't even have a slight idea what you mean by March 30

TheGoodJoe:
You are the one surfing March 30 post to bring an already debated argument and telling me I appear like someone waiting to criticize. I mean, March 30. Haaa.

If I am waiting, you are looking. If I see something wrong and I disagree with it, I will point it out. If the coach agrees, I praise him because that is when I am Convinced to the best of my knowledge that the coach is doing his best for the team. That is what I want from him.

Finito.

i've only said it's misleading. Never said you should not keep hugging your opinion.
He had a great goal. The only goal form open play, and in fact, the only valid goal. That's enough to win MOTM. And if they want to top it with all the beautiful toppings, okay then.
But most of those things won't have been said had he not scored.

TheGoodJoe:
That is your opinion. From Instagram, Facebook, forums, other media outlets including 4 websites I checked all praised Ogu. If your opinion is different, that is for you.

I have mine, people backed it and that is okay for me.

Finito.

No point crying over those who didn't give Oshaniwa a look in, or you'd appear like someone always waiting to criticize, relevant or not.

TheGoodJoe:

I wanted Rohr to look into Oshaniwa and he did. That is all I ask. If he does not impress or fit into the coaches plan, I am okay with that. My respect for Rohr is that he looked in. It is his team and his choice to make decisions that is best for the team. As long as the coach is true to himself, he has my respect.

I just watched that match for the third time. To say Ogu's performance was phenomenal is misleading.

TheGoodJoe:
I already said Ogu was the man of the match before the goal. The goal just confirmed it. He along side Shehu were the best in terms of dealing with the poor condition of the pitch.

As I said, Ogu's brilliant performance is not up for debate. If you do not like it, that is your opinion. It will not change the fact.

@ forgiveness would LOVE this

Mujtahida:
Where dem go pack all these people from now? What's their antecedents?

From my little research then,

"Federal Law on Citizenship of the Russian Federation was adopted in 1991 and completely revised in 2002. Now it is in force with numerous amendments. This Law makes difference between the dual citizenship and the second citizenship. The dual citizenship can be possible for Russians only on the ground of international agreement. It is important to notice that Russia concluded few numbers of international treaties which contain provisions related to the dual citizenship. All other cases of obtaining foreign citizenship is considered as the second citizenship.

The Russian Federal Law does not prohibit the second citizenship. However, it is a subject of restrictions and control. The acquisition of another citizenship by a citizen of the Russian Federation shall not entail termination of the citizenship of the Russian Federation. At the same time, Russian citizenship can be granted by a decree of the President of Russia to foreign citizens. Persons who obtain the second citizenship are limited in their civic opportunities, e.g. they can’t have an access to civil service or establish mass media and control mass media in Russia. Besides, they should execute their citizen’s duties that both of the countries imply. Persons who obtain the second citizenship should declare about their foreign citizenship to the Russian bodies for migration control according to the Citizenship Law amendments of 2014. They shall submit a special declaration in according with approved form to the competent local department of Ministry for Internal Affairs (previously, to the Federal Migration Service) in 30 days. If a person who obtains the second citizenship does not submit the declaration on foreign citizenship, he should be prosecuted by criminal law."

Mujtahida:
Yes, I read something confusing then. So I'm surprised he's in for the friendly but then why now and not since if there aren't any issues concerning the switch thing? No be today we start to get LB issues na.

lol OGN made it seem it was complicated, and that he had to give up his Russian passport or something (IF I STILL REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW THEY PUT IT). I knew it was misleading.

Mujtahida:
Please oo, you guys should explain the rules to me. I thought this guy was having issues with switching to play for nigeria cos of the peculiar Russian citizenship laws. How come he's been drafted in abi the rules don't apply when it's friendlies?

Not Finidi George?

In a related development, the NFF Technical and Development Committee has appointed a new technical crew for five –time word champions, Golden Eaglets.

Abdullahi Maikaba will take over as Head Coach, with Abubakar Bala as First Assistant Coach; Oluwafunsho Bunmi Haruna as Second Assistant Coach and; Baruwa Abideen as Goalkeepers’ Trainer.

Nigeria won the FIFA Cadet World Cup (which debuted in China in 1985 as an U16 competition) in 1985, 1993, 2007, 2013 and 2015.

Confirmed : Score Nigeria Scores A Bull's Eye As Brian Idowu Links Up With Eagles
Published: November 12, 2017

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/20754Idowu.jpg

Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm that Amkar Perm defender Brian Idowu has linked up with the Nigerian national team at their get-together in Krasnodar, as first reported by scorenigeria.com.ng.

The Afro-Russian is in line to make his first appearance for the three-time African champions when they take on Argentina on Tuesday, November 14.

The Nigeria Football Federation informed through the social networks on Sunday morning, '' Russia based Bryan Idowu( @idovubryan) has joined up with the rest of the squad in Krasnodar ahead of Tuesday’s friendly vs Argentina.

''He is very happy to be here #SoarSuperEagles.''

Idowu was born in St. Petersburg, Russia to a Nigerian father, while his mom is half-Russian, half-Nigerian from Imo State.

The 25-year-old is very versatile and can operate at left back, left midfield, central defense and right back.

Lol, just because someone scored does not necessarily mean they had a great game overall. I gave him a 7.5, because even statistical sites will award quite a number of points for goals scored. And it was a ver good goal. Besides his goal, I would have given him a 6.5. He raised his game in the second half. Kwese gave Ogu a 9, Etebo a 7, and Ndidi an 8. Are you kidding me? That's like telling anyone who didn't watch the game, we controlled the midfield pretty well. Our midfield play was average, if not below par. I still put the blame on the pitch. But let's say it as it is.

His splendid goal could easily make most people give him the MOTM, especially considering that was the only legit goal of the game. simple logic

TheGoodJoe:
I have seen four sites giving Ogu man of the match and you feel they are all fools. I and some on the thread hinted it before the ratings. He was our best on the field. I actually watched the game with a former Sharks FC player. He even hinted Ogu was going to score.

The goal was just a testament of his good play.
