Well come to think of it, If he is listed as a Right-Back, and he is the most highly rated, then it follows...

daveP:
Very stale to even look at. Two Tkos. They should have just left him as a defender instead of insulting us that he's our BEST DEFENDER!! THEY ARE TRULY FIFA INDEED!! Smh

lol..
Better yet, they can as well rule the continent at the CHAN level. I'm comfortable with that, that's if they can.

Danielnino00:
Our brothers from the other side are planning to bid for the CHAN 2018 ..


We know they wanna make up for their failure to qualify for the tournament .

Perhaps we will meet again..

Make we leave Musa alone for now.. his deadline is December

Exclusive: Rohr Ignores Calls To Drop Musa, Leicester Star Named In Nigeria Squad
Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has extended an invitation to Leicester City star Ahmed Musa for the World Cup qualifier versus Zambia in Uyo on October 7.

Speculation had been rife in the local media that Rohr would axe Musa from the roster set to be released this week over his lack of game time at Leicester City but the German manager is having none of it after naming the winger in his squad list.

''It is one hundred percent confirmed that Musa has been named in the squad to face Zambia, and he has started making his travel arrangements,'' a Nigeria Football Federation insider told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''Nigeria Football Federation officials are in contact with him.''

Including the preliminary rounds, Musa has been involved in five matches out of a possible six in the World Cup qualifiers, and was an unused substitute against Cameroon in Yaounde earlier this month.

The former CSKA Moscow star was very impressive and unselfish in Leicester City's 2-0 win over Chelsea in a Premier League 2 match last Friday, setting up both goals scored by George Thomas.

haha..
Club over country

daveP:
Fifa 18 must be sick!! Can you imagine VIC MOSES is listed as a defender? Not just that, he is NIG's best rated defender

lol.. football is an international game. It's impossible not to talk of other countries. If you call that obsession then I guess everyone is obsessed about the game
Let me tell you what obsession really is. visiting threads of other countries to see if they are talking about you.

Just30:
so you're obsessed in your own forum of another country

Nothing official.. that one na just to get clicks lol

Eligreat247:
If this list is anything to go by, where is Victor Moses? or maybe its my eye......
However I and majority of us expect something like this with Vicmo inclusive.

Chidozie Awaziem Dazzles For Nantes Again, Gets New Nickname
September 25, 2017013

Nigeria international defender Chidozie Awaziem post another fine performance for French side Nantes in their 2-1 win over Strasbourg in the French Ligue 1.

Awaziem posted another performance similar to the one that earned him a team of the week nomination last week in the win that lifted them to 5th on the log in France.

Last week the 20 year old played a very integral part in Nantes 1-0 win over Caen on his return from a three match ban owing to the red card he picked up before the international break.

Against Strasbourg particularly in the final ten minutes of the game, he was very solid in aerial duels and also read and intercepted play brilliantly to frustrate Strasbourg from reducing the deficit.

After the game fans of the club took to social media to praise his performance and in the process gave him a new nicknamed ” Le Roche”, which means “The Rock” in English.

mostob:
lol. . I got it (Y) he mean EKONG

that guy can run sha.
He should replace Musa for now. Don't tell me he can't play in the wings as well

forgiveness:
Kayode Olanrewaju should be called.

Let's put the issue behind us. We are not having a thread competition. Anyone is free to go to any thread and comment as long as we have a common interest. I'm glad some that have been in ghost mode are beginning to be active on here.. It's the internet for goodness sake. It's a free world.

chrisooblog:
na wa all these leaches and trolls outta the woodwork just because some people won cosafa castle cup's cousin S.M. damn H low self esteem and empty trophy cabinet dust is definitely bad for your health. anyway on to better matters supernerd i know you are reading this through your mentions. it's a free world and nairaland is a free social media forum for anyone to open any thread they want and post any where they want also. that said i think your handling of the matter is not the best. opening another similar thread as much as it's your right is petty at best and doesn't speak well of you. like many have said this is just a cyber space so we shouldn't take personal. go through my old posts i engaged someone on the foreign threads who verbally attacked me out of no where to the extent of wishing death by cancer on himself and his family all because i had a different opinion. but i moved on such words haven't reduced who i am. definitely the other guy was wrong to insult your mum but i won't be a good friend to you if i don't point out how you caused it. yes your banter to him might look harmless but humans differ in the way we react to different things. if i'm walking down the road and i poke someone unannounced and the person reacts by stabbing or shooting people would say hey that was harsh but the truth is if i hadn't poked him then all that drama would have been avoided. i pray you use this time for introspection and learn from it whatever you decide to do you are always welcome here.

Akpeyi Returns For WCQ Vs Zambia, Nwakaeme, Echiejile Also Called Up

Akpeyi Returns For WCQ Vs Zambia, Nwakaeme, Echiejile Also Called UpAccording to information gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com, Chippa United goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has been recalled to the Super Eagles for their World Cup qualifier against Zambia next Saturday.

The former Warri Wolves star has sparkled since returning from an injury that kept him out of the World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon, posting two shutouts against Platinum Stars and Bloemfontein Celtic while conceding only one goal as the Chilli Boys were held to a 1-1 draw by SuperSport United in the penultimate round of matches.

Manager Gernot Rohr has an interesting goalkeeping decision to make ahead of the crucial match against Zambia, whether Akpeyi or Ikechukwu Ezenwa, who was a shadow of himself in the final of the WAFU Cup, will be his first-choice goalkeeper.

The German coach is sticking by Elderson Echiejile and has invited the Monaco loanee for the showdown in Uyo.

Other confirmed invitees include Abdullahi Shehu, William Troost-Ekong, Chidozie Awaziem, Leon Balogun, John Ogu, Uche Agbo, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo, John Obi Mikel, Eddy Onazi, Moses Simon, Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi and Anthony Nwakaeme.

The Super Eagles camp will open in Uyo on Monday, October 2.

Keep praying for that.. But I'm praying for Black Stars all the same. I know neither prayers will be answered.

leathalbeast:
okay, I have a feeling Nigeria won't qualify for the World Cup. I see Zambia winning.

This guy is just somehow oh lol.. Even if we can't master our individual names because of our diversity, let's master the spellings of our beloved Super Eagles players irrespective of where they are from

somehow:
All our main players should please stay fit o. If possible, they should sit out any of the club matches till after October 7, we don't want any last minute injury o.

All main players needed to be fit.

My brother. We Nigerians have our own problems. Don't worry my dear *rubs your back*.

Just30:

If your ministers havent been stupid enough to put Ghana in the middle of their development challenges. No Ghanaian would even be here
So like I said , stop making Ghana your yardstick

Because he was not in China then

Certitude:
No hard feelings as he has been my favourite SE player and still is, but y didn't he do these while he was younger?

The lastest

” The World Cup 2018 is special to Mikel. He has started extra drills ahead of the game against Zambia. He wants to lead his team from the front, and the best way to do it is to be fully fit”, his intermediary told Owngoalnigeria..com.

” He (Mikel) is getting games in China on a regular basis for his club, but he still does extra fitness and tactical drills strictly for the sake of the game against Zambia, which he expects to be a lot faster and more physical than the league games in China”.

Pls Jobie ltalk about Nigeria-Zambia match,any updates.
