They will have to beat Cameroon mercilessly to stand a chance.

But we wont be waiting that long to seal OUR spot.

R2bees:
what if Nigeria draw Zambia match and lose to Algeria??

That's a whole different argument. And your point has been long established here.

tbaba1234:
Omeruo is young but one of the most experienced members of the team. Look at Omeruo and Onazi, they started at the same time. Who is now more integral to the team. Omeruo has stopped improving. I hope he finds himself.

I've never known us to beg players. For me begging is when you make an approach, they turn you down. Then you make another approach.
If Tammy had given his word for England earlier, I'm sure Pinnick won't have went on.
Lookman's case will not be an exception. Not like he is even ahead of those forwards we have compared him with.

forgiveness:
The fact that Leicester city is benching Iheanacho doesn't mean Iheanacho is not good. Consider.

We need to move on from mediocre ways of scouting talents.

Is Ademola-lookman talented enough?

We've already done that in the past.
Now, NEXT.

forgiveness:
Nothing is wrong with his career. He doesn't really need Nigeria's help because he's got the talent to attract good clubs and England.

We don't need to wait until he starts doing well. We only need to identify his talent and decide to give him a call.

What is the work of a scout?

You and I know Everton is whack.

forgiveness:
Come carry dem start now.

they are both still in SE set-up. That's the point.. Please make una no try insinuate wetin i never talk.

safarigirl:
lol...Omeruo ke? Ha! Ebuehi is in a better position than Omeruo abeg...if we want to waste WC slot, we will waste it on Ebuehi before Omeruo

Well I guess he would be looked at as one of their emerging young players in the Eredivisie.

Mujtahida:
I meant that assuming he didn't switch allegiance is he good enough for the Dutch national team.

Ebuehi's case, he was never capped by Holland at the junior level. Nothing wrong with getting his mind go our direction and building relationship early. However, your point is still valid.

Mujtahida:
You are right. That's why we must be sure of persuading top talents to play for us. In all sincerity can Ebuehi play for Holland? Is he so good? I sometimes feel bad for him considering the effort we put in to secure his change of allegiance. Remember that he first didn't come. And cried some and then he responded. Only for him to remain on the bench. I am only reiterating your point and adding that we should go for top top talents who will easily break into the team.

They both are young.. I never ruled Ebeuhi out.. But the fact remains he is not cementing that RB position any time soon. Likewise, Lookman, we don't need him at the moment, unless his stocks rises in future. They both have a point to prove. But Ebuehi is simply ahead. He is playing regularly for club and he is one step ahead as regards SE.

Rohr said Omeruo is still very much in his plans (made the standby list the last time. A position Ebuehi is now). Buttresses my point.

tbaba1234:
Omeruo has not made 2 lists now. This is an experienced player o.

Ebuehi has only been left out of one game. He is still young and will have many more chances.

I think at this point he should be reaching out to NFF.
We are not keen on having him. His recent stats are RELATIVELY poor.

forgiveness:
Firstly of all, Ademola-lookman is not a striker. He can in multiple roles though.

Secondly, I am interested in giving him a call up now that his stock is low and not necessarily taking him to the world Cup, but he impresses when called, why not?

Give all of them the chance to prove themselves.

They will even start in that whack team

forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! The boy is a Everton player ooooooo.

Do you think those three can make Everton bench?

He is still very much in SE set up like Omeruo.
Doesn't nullify my point. Change of allegiance don't guarantee anything. It doesnt guarantee you will displace whoever is currently playing a specific role in SE. You still have to fight for a shirt.

tbaba1234:
Ebuehi is still part of the Nigerian set up. It is not as if we have plenty right backs. He is in a better position than Lookman

NETHERLANDS: Eerste Divisie - Round 8

Sittard vs NEC
Ex Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh will lead his wards once again tonight as Sittard host Arnaut Danjuma's Nijmegen.
Sittard is coming of an overwhelming 6-0 victory over Telstar from the previous round, and are looking to extend their incredible 5-match undefeated streak. While their opponents have gone 3 matches undefeated, Sittard have won their last 3 matches.
Sittard now trail log leaders, Jong Ajax by a single point, and lead 3rd placed Nijmegen by 4 points.

that was when he was promising. I don't see us making another approach in the near future.

do4luv14:
lure who, hasn't we approach him before, what was his response

lol gbam

tbaba1234:
There are better players than him right now, Bonaventure, Olayinka, Onyekuru etc, even Aluko.

hahaha.. sir, Ademola needs to get his career back on track. But it will be hard for Nigeria to help him now, because we have young exciting players ahead of him. He may be another Ebuehi even if we get him. Not ruling them out prematurely, but switching allegiance to Nigeria is not a guarantee either.

forgiveness:
This is the time to lure him to play for Nigeria because by the time he starts playing, you will see what he is made of and it will be too late to get him.

ok

Greenbuoy:
means 'I hail o'

Welcome once again.. What does the bolded mean?

Greenbuoy:
Hello everyone!
I'm not a newbie here but the last time I commented is a long time ago. Great job you all doing on here. Mo juba gbogbo yin o!
I know quite well how weird football can get but I wish for a massacre of the chipos tomorrow so that we could as well rape them on Twitter et all... like we always do to disrespectful nations!

Rohr: How We’ll Determine Super Eagles XI Vs Zambia

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has listed the factors that will determine his starting team for Saturday’s Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier against Zambia here in Uyo, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Rohr has a bit of a selection headache with all the 23 players he invited fit for the match in which a win for Nigeria will secure passage to the World Cup.

“The players are all ready for the Zambia challenge and will support whoever we pick to start on Saturday,” Rohr said here in Uyo.

“We’ll consider each player’s fitness and what happened in our last games against Cameroon when we decide on the starting 11. It’s also easy these days to monitor players’ performances for their clubs as there is internet.


“We also monitor the players and follow their progress with our scouting team. We will try to find the best 11 on Saturday.”

Rohr admitted that Zambia will be a tough team, but he has huge confidence in his side’s abilities.

“We have a focused group of players and we all want to qualify for the World Cup. It’s in our hands and we want to get the job done,” he added.

Nigeria lead African qualifying Group B with 10 points from four games and a win over their only surviving challengers will seal their spot in Russia.

Thank you. Right now, we are not even looking his direction

tbaba1234:
Ademola Lookman has not reached the heights once predicted. There are no more clamors for him to join the national team.

Plus we have so many young players that play that role.

I switch go Mali match
Is that George Weah's son?

junnyjake:
Weah has been great so far.

Haha my name tag dey her neck? We just dey look u o as u dey enter Wahala.

do4luv14:

cos d heat wey only firstlady dey receive here, dey fear me wella

Watching Akinola (USA) play against these Indians. Haven't seen a lion yet.

Penalty to USA now

Argentina could still go through with a draw, but not if Peru draws as well.

Yes I was referring to him. My bad. Should have replied him.

Mujtahida:
Icon79 used the 'mugu' word first.

Exactly.. I'm going to have to boycott them if they do so

Mujtahida:
That's very disrespectful and unwise. And they are promising to still be indiscrete tomorrow again regarding tomorrow's closed door session

hahaha

kingphilip:
probably na libero808 owngoals de disturb am

Aina subbed Echiejile in the practice session. This is the list for Team A, according to OwnGoalNigeria:

Team A – Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Elderson Echiejile ( Ola Aina), Shehu Abdullahi, Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, O‎genyi Onazi, Wilfred Ndidi, John Obi Mikel, Victor Moses, Moses Simon (Alex Iwobi), Odion Ighalo.

yes a win will give them a play-off spot or better. A draw for Argentina, will mean they kiss Russia goodbye. A draw for us, we will still be in contention. We have a brighter chance than Argentina as it stands.

Mickael2:
E pain me. Like insults have become a part of the thread, sorry I had to use the word.

You are right, they may not qualify even if they win I think so too, so saying that we are in the same boat is false

OwnGoal no go respect the team privacy. They are still busy putting out news as to what happened behind closed doors.
It's either they are making up stories or they actually have spies there.
Either way them be big fools..
if they continue this way, I will have to stop posting their news.

why the "mugu" na?

Argentina still has a strong chance of qualifying. However, they have failed to win 4 matches in a row. And that could happen again.

We have a bigger chance than Argentina.. Even a win for Argentina will not guarantee qualification. I stand to be corrected

Mickael2:
so you called him a mugu for saying the truth? Do you know the meaning of that word? Argentina are not in the same position with us, if Chile beats Brazil(highly possible because Brazil will rest players) and Peru beats Colombia then Argentina can kiss the world cup goodbye because Colombia is 3points ahead with a far superior GD, so the bottomline is that you are the actual mugu for letting your 'love' for Messi blind your sense of reasoning

hahaha.. all those posts when he dey shoot dey make am enter wahala

kingphilip:
so you know am too?

na everywhere him de always go look for
