We didn't need Moses....hmm

kingphilip:
We really needed mikel against South Africa

This no be AFCON. We came to play ball so far. We could have been 4 up already.. Let's wrap it up with two more goals and go for victory in Yaounde. Ighalo very impressive.. But Moses like I've said before is our best player

Moses tormentor in chief

Lol

Onazi when dem dey bench for trabz..

Mickael2:
poor poor midfield structure currently. See that space Onazi left right there

Actually four. Tomori and Odubajo as well.

blueto:
Good news. Two Nigerians at Hull city now.

Lol

forgiveness:
Aluko can play multiple roles. Ask Google, na.

Besides, list the AM we get first, make I see whether em go fit bench any.

Aluko also plays as an AM. Abi who u want make he bench for attack? Lol

Abi what's his one and only role smarty?

forgiveness:
Do they play the same role?

Where the ram?

jihday:
barka de sallah to my Muslim brothers. enjoy

Oga no bring Bible here. This is a TEAM sport. Teams pray and still lose. My heart is with my SE today. I hope they do the needed

blueto:
Yes, His fairness has been made available to everyone, but why is it that some people relish his love more than others? because they have learnt to trust him in. That is how you receive and enjoy the love that He has made available. the difference between Daniel and those that the lion consumed in the same lions den was that Daniel “believed in His God,” according to the scriptures.


Psalms 34:8 “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”

This it moniker eh lol well done

Naijaphobia:
My people, let's just end whatever argument whether constructive or destructive and remember today is game day.


I suggest we hold a prayer session for today's match.

Sir Forgiveness, Icon4s, komekn and thegoodjoe shall all lead us cos I see the spirit of the most high God in them and the passion for our success..Binding any opposing spirit against our Super eagle's victory.

At Victoria Ascerta, Safarigirl, tbaba1234, joebie, joseph and and chrismario shall lead us in Thanksgiving prayers to appreciate the Almighty for our victory.They are pure in heart!

That is what the lord whispered to me

Happy new month to you all as we begin with victory.

My God is a God of fairness. Let the better team carry the day. Lol

With the likely return of J.Obi, we don't NEED Aluko. Make una stop to use that word -- need

daveP:
Overall, we still need Aluko in this SE team.

I've been on transit my bro. Just settling in

ChrisKels:
Sir Tbaba1234 and sir Joebie please somebody needs updates here

I agree with u as long as u no mention triba.. Lol

forgiveness:
Stephen Keshi was pressured and forced to invite Aluko to the national team team after his sublime performance for Rangers week in week out, and when he eventually brought em, he didn't deem it fit to dress him for the match day game, instead, he played Uzoenyi and kept Oduamadi on the bench.

In short, he never wanted Aluko in the team when you see Keshi's antics at play.

Which of these two was ever in limelight, not to talk of remain in limelight?

Den I was just monitoring his kurukere moves with one corner of my eyes.

Thank you! I've been saying this -- most sustainable way.

TheGoodJoe:
Boosting our local leagues is the only way we can develop quality talents at a fast rate. No other way.

Never said there is no corruption. try to get my point. Let's not make it seem like every coach is involved. Many of these players are not even in the limelight. For example Aluko, you really have to personally keep tabs with him to know how he is faring in the Championship. Our coaches can always give good reasons for omitting certain players for others. It's hard to say it's always corruption. But in Keshi's time, it seemed glaring.

komekn:
I can assure you 100% that Sone Aluko exclusion had nothing WHATSOEVER to do with ability but everything to do with SETTLEMENT and a complete lack of understanding of egunje politics and or a refusal to play the game the Nigerian way.

Do your homework, consider Gabriel Rueben, signed a 3 year contract with lowly Kilmarnock played maybe 30 minutes was so bad he never played all season and was released shockingly he went to the World cup for us meanwhile Aluko was a regular for Hull in the EPL. Check who Reuben's is agent was at the time and the arrangements concerning match bonuses, and you may be opening a very smelly can of worms, I am mindful of defamation his agent was Tony Harris.

Consider players who were omitted and mediocre players like Uchebo and others were selected and you know big wahala deh many questions arise that are indicative of sharp practices.

IN Turkey. Same club with Sincere Seth and Azubuike Okechukwu. But has been declared surplus to requirement

mumemma:
Where Sunday Mba??
That guy dat yr....
Watched his goal against Burkinafas ...AFCON 2013 final......wat happenes to him

Lol goal post don shift. Despite nobody from his side of the country in the NFF and as coach Olanare got called up from china..what about Michael babatunde? Hahahaha . EHaha

forgiveness:
Aaron Samuel invitation den was man know man.

Please remind us what led to us taking Rufai to France

goldfish80:
Personally I don't want a repeat of France 98. If an under prepared Vincent turned up in Russia and embarrased himself, Nigerians will quickly forget they begged him to come back, just like France 98.
Let The Similarly Between 98 And 2018 End With the number 8

According to Rohr, FIFA are demanding a letter from the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) to prove Ola Aina is truly a Nigerian, which the coach considers as strange, as the player already has a Nigerian international passport.

The coach revealed during the media parley that he is hopeful the letter from the FGN will come through today or tomorrow


--OGN

Abi Olanare..

safarigirl:
I fear to think of the outcome of a one-on-one between Ezenwa and any of the Cameroonian forwards...

He just doesn't strike me as one brimming with confidence, this is not about his height. He is not imposing between the sticks, seems quit a shaky personality, and while he may have performed great against Beninoise players from their local league, we must remember that Bassagog and Aboubakar are not Beninoise local league players.


There is something about that presence a goalie needs....I'm not seeing it with Ezenwa, I'm sorry

Can't we just field Leon as the goalie?

make I go use US Open cool the tension..

Frances Tiafoe, Naomi Osaka.. Watch out for those names in future..

draws, home and away.. not bad.. especially if Zambia and Algeria draw their own too.

RoyalBlak007:
♤ I won't be surprised if

[color=#F5A215]♤ the S.E draw the Cameroonians [/color]

lol..

do4luv14:
when I see the word, INJURY RECORD!!!, ah jst tire asap,

ah seriously nor no wia hin take get dat news, abi nah report from

injury record?

oga i dey read your posts oh.. i still dey wait who u go suggest for Russia IF we qualify, especially as Alampasu, Uzoho and...

goldfish80:
Forgive my incredulity, but I will be amazed if a 35yr old African goalkeeper, with an injury record bagged a contract with a club in a top European league.

lol.. we just dey talk like say we get plenty plenty keepers.. We have to choose the better evil oh. Enyeama is injured, he is not even available..Can we let his matter rest?

AIG07:
In Chief Commander Ebenezer Obe's voice,

"Ko sogbon to le da, ko si wa to le wu to le fi taye lorun o o o/2x"

human beings are the most complex creature and are hard to please.

Start Akpeyi-he is jittery
Ezenwa-he is short, lacks confidence and not imposing.
Play Alampasu-he is rookie.
Recall Enyeama- he is old and passed it.

Abeg who then should we put between the sticks. May be we should go and rent De Gea or Courtois.

All we can do is to support anyone the coaching crew decides to field.

my point is we shouldn't make it seem like Alampasu is such a rookie. There are keepers his age keeping for their national teams or clubs in Europe. His experience in Europe is an advantage.. if he is the best in camp, he should be used.. that talk of he can't stand the pressure, I wonder if Ezenwa will. Akpeyi sef too no dey shake?

Icon79:
Ezenwa would perform well. He certainly can't do any worse than Akpeyi.

With the new goalkeeper trainer in town, I knew there's no way that Akpeyi was gonna start this game anyway. His shortcomings are just too glaring. Alloy Agu was useless!


O pari

Singing in R. Kelly voice. I don't see nothing wrong with fielding a Feirense 2nd choice keeper.. I don't see nothing wrong... No guarantee Ezenwa won't keep like a rookie.. can he withstand the pressure? I don't see nothing wrong.. Cameroon no be NPFL. la la la

hahaha.. I never said they did not perform eventually.
you are missing the point. Follow humility017 reply

mumemma:
Wetin do Dike and Babatunde? Dike was tight na....u remember that goal ee score against Italy?
Babatunde try joor........Who was better than them as at then

How about Babatunde making that list? Wasn't that a mystery? Let's not forget Bright Dike and a few others never deserved an invitation. No disrespect to our late coach, that was the era I felt agents where doing big business with Super Eagles handlers.

Modified
Keshi invited players who were trying to boost their careers. His philosophy was giving them a chance in SE colors, they would do everything to up their value. Which is why the likes of Aaron Samuel got invited in the first place. These players were motivated to perform because they were relatively unknown.

Humility017:
how uchebo made keshi world cup list remains a mystery...
and for babatunde he was gradually shooting himself back to the SE...during his stinct in Morocco wit Raja Casablanca but unfortunately he could not resist Arab money.....hence moving to the middle east.

Daniel Amokachi could have been quoted out of context. Let's not forget he was an assistant to the late Stephen Keshi, who I personally suspected of underhand deals. Did Aluko pay to get his first call up? Has Aluko remained in the limelight all this while? we can only have 23 men or so in SE at every point in time. It's hard to set ONE standard as regards who should be in the team. Coaches have different standards. I remember Oliseh's policy of no out field players who do not play in the first tier. Let's not try to make it seem like it's solely an NFF issue. The coaches we've had over the years have fought to act without interferences from the NFF. Corruption is part of our system. But the problem we have here is that we do not have many players playing in big clubs in Europe -- indisputable stars -- so there are many grey areas when our coaches make decisions. Anyone can in fact feel hard done by.. need I mention free agent Nosa Igiebor?

What we have here is a country where everyone feels marginalized and can give you examples to buttress their claim.

komekn:
Ask Daniel Amokachi and his NFF arrangee men why Sone Aluko has been excluded from the SE.
