Make una calm down.

My Half-Time Analysis

1. The Zambian forwards speed is unsettling us. More reason why we need better DMF's, or ouur DMFs need not join the attack.
2. Echiejile is still the weakest link
3. Let's allow Agu settle in. Besides the bad tackles he has been average.
4. Onazi's highpoint was that cross that Ighalo missed, besides that he was also average. I remember him misplacing a pass or two.
5. Shehu has been our best defender so far.
6. Victor Moses is beginning to settle in after initially making unnecessary runs and giving away possession.
7. We need to stop all those high balls. They are winning most of the aerial duels. That means we need to put the ball on the ground and do what we are known for.
8. Zambia's weak link is the center of defense. We will do better operating from the middle than the wings.
9. Why does Balogun look sluggish today.
10. Fine save by Ezenwa. The commentators thought it came off the post -- or am I wrong?
11. We should have been one goal down by now if not for ref's good bad call.

That ref Na Nigerian? Lucky us lol

I think they looked like the same SA that came to Uyo. Senegal will have to watch it. But I think they will drop at least a point in their last two games. I have the feeling Senegal will clinch the ticket eventually.

BascoVanVeli:
How did u see SA's performance?

That Thomas "goal" was actually offside.

I didn't watch that game. I just changed channels to check scores. I watched the south africa game for the most part.

BascoVanVeli:
Forget their chances was it a clean goal or not?

Do your thing bro. Personally, I don't bring God into any competition. Even I "pass my neighbor" competition. Talk less of sports.

soetanoreoluwa:
Sir Jobie can we have our prayer for Super Eagles

It's time to seal the world cup ticket

#Soarsupereagle

Even more slim than very slim.

Even if they have beaten Uganda today, a win for Egypt, who host Congo tomorrow will finalize things in that group.

Hanibal:
Let me help Ghana with my mathematics skills.
As it stands Ghana has 6 points, Uganda 8points, Egypt has 9 points with a game in hand.
First off.. Ghana has to pray that Egypt loose tomorrow, then hope that Congo beat Uganda in the next match, and Ghana should beat Egypt in the final qualifying round by at least 4 goals.
Simple isn't it?

Their chances would still have been slim even if they had won. The ref only made it worse

BascoVanVeli:
Ghana just got raped out of the world cup, Clean goal.

haha.. that will make the forum even more interesting..
well too bad ref was against them today. I was really supporting them.

Danielnino00:
They will still come oo

they will brag to us about how they have reached the world cup quarter final while we haven't

Ummm Where are those Ghanians who always come to this forum? I know they won't come today. hahaha

Yes I don't think it did. The ball has to cross the line completely. How could you tell from that angle? The linesman will have to be standing by the corner flag to tell from the way it happened.

Icon4s:
It did not.

The SA players reactions influenced the refs decision.

South Africa VS Burkina Faso

Did that ball cross the line? I don't think it did

Photo Evidence – Sunday Alimi Announces Transfer To Turkish Giants Galatasary
October 7, 2017030

https://i0.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/IMG_3640.jpg

Lobi Stars of Makurdi striker Sunday Alimi has joined Turkish League giants Galatasary according to a post on his Facebook handle to mark the occasion of his birthday.

Alimi turned 18 today and the forward who was a member of the last Nigeria U-17 , the team that won the World Youth Championship in 2015 announced his move to Galatasary is a done deal.



The striker has been on trial with the Turkish giants since the start of the month, and has played in games for the youth team of the Turkish side where he has scored goals in some games.

Alimi is expected to start with the U-19 of the Turkish side before hopefully progressing to the main team, if his performances impresses the handlers of the team during his stay with the youth team.

As at the time of filing in this report, the length of the contract he signed with Galatasary is yet to be known by Owngoalnigeria.com, as he is yet to reply the several messages sent to him.

Aina's father in Uyo.

Aina go soon end Echiejile career. Make he F-up today first

Simple, he can play there. Secondly, he can help more defensively there.. he can also spring his long passes from there. My argument is we will get the best of him there while relying on Iwobi to be the initiator in attack with his short passes, something he is known for in Arsenal. He, Iwobi, will match the zambians youth for youth, speed for speed.. Mikel and Ndidi's partnership at the rear will not only be a perfect cover for our CB's but will also provide good support for our FBs. A little bit cautious you may say, but that's what we need at this stage.

Icon4s:
Mikel will start in the AM position.

Why do most of you keep moving him to CM?

My starting line up

That should work. Thank you

Chrismario:
I'm readying it

This should work. Thank you

Chrismario:
I'm readying it

me sef i no know say u be like this oh..
after the match make all of una line up for your doomsday prophesies.
We go flog una.. abeg who get better cane?

Mickael2:
I will bookmark this because I know that the scoreline will be a difference of just one goal or none at all. 8 hours to kickoff

They have to play that way. That's their best bet. If they let us settle, we will be even more dangerous. Either way there is no escape for them tomorrow.

daveP:
Im i the only one noticing the knack headedness of their coach?

They will tire out easily because we have speed too but will only use it tactically.

daveP:
Exactly why i opined that our full backs may not join the attack. But, with due respect to papi Rohr's crew, i'm sure its been handled already. Either we use early surprise tactic, or make them do Usain Boltings and then, gbam!!

Watching Algeria vs Zambia

These Zambians are just full of running. Like a swarm of bees they don't let u settle. A tactical and gifted side like SE will beat them better beat.

Ok na enjoy

komekn:
Watching England play Scotland U21 the forward line being led by Solanke and Tega and the midfield being run by the second Tega.

Will reply later.

Oliseh's boys lost today -- finally.

Nigeria will beat Zambia better beat

Oya come and flog me

Please add to the above

They need the win more. CIV playing cautiously.

Daejoyoung:
Mali playing well so far but lack experience from what l see.

Mikel is very fit to play 90 mins. Then (Cameroon double header) and now is different.
I wonder if you have been following our updates here.

EEGA:
Mikel is not that fit to play for more than 60 mins.

We have Iwobi or Etebo to replace him.
