AIG07:
hmmm... This calls for concern.

Let's hope for better performance tomorrow but Ebuehi deserve to start.

JSMMUYIWA:
What kind of formation is this?
How feasible is this?

The same formation against England with Ndidi and Etebo replacing Onazi and Joel.

Eleniyan15:
If balogun doesn't start tomorrow am sorry Croatia will score 2 goals and the attack would be from the wings but to crown it all we would win the match
3-2 Sure Banker!!!

Abeg no stake money ooo


I'm currently listening to rohr conference and let be honest the man not really focusing on this world cup he want a long term to build future of the country for UAE let just enjoy the World cup biko

...not UAE but Qatar.I don't know why Rohr was saying is building this team for 2022 WC,not at this period,when we are having our opener tomorrow.

He should just do the needful,a good performance and at least round of 16 will give us solid foundation for 2022 WC

AIG07:
Sir, where did you get this from?

This is team A as at last training today.

Modified... Omeruo on standy if Balogun failed last minute test and really surprised to see Ebuehi back in team B.I think the guy should start ahead of Shehu.

Eagles likely starting XI against Croatia
1.Uzoho

2.Shehu

3.Idowu

4.Ndidi

5.Balogun

6.Ekong

7.Iwobi

8.Etebo

Bad news for SARAKONDA
The son of Mutahiru Abidjan will/must rot in jail,,,,......The boy and His puppet governor yaf almost milk Kwara dry....


Justice Banjoko please for goodness sake help Me revisit saraki trial...27years is ok.

Yes Saraki's case should be revisited likewise Tinubu's case.

No double standard in dealing with Saraki and leave Tinubu out

Watermelonman:
for crying out loud, why flew all the way from Spain and decided to go to Benin by road. How much is flight cost from Lagos to Benin?

Whom the gods wants to kill they first make him deaf.

My man local flight is even worse,just last week Vice President almost lost his life.

Pls just say RIP to the dead and stop talking as if you are God.

andrew444:
Lol see bro i no doubt you at all trust me.

Many people look older than their age and some look younger but it cant be everybody.

All super eagles player look older than their age apart from one or 2 and the oyinbo boys,even almost all the brazillians look older than their age.

If diego Costa is 29 years old then nobody should doubt the age of super eagles players.

Even North and South Africa are better than South America when it comes to age cheat.

Certitude:
Yea tho'. But how you sef go yarn say Iheanacho, Uzoho, etc are up to 25? Ah! Sir, me sef neva reach 24 o. But you need to see me and my beards. Then you wan say Iheanacho and Uzoho senior me.
And I never had a comfortable childhood o. So no reason Oga Mickael2 theory of Nutritional stuff like that
..

My oga may be based on my own age,i always see anybody below 25 as a very young man so if Iheanacho, Awaziem,Uzoho and Ndidi are under 25 still cool to me.

tbaba1234:
Good you admitted that they are young.

That is a generalization that you have to take on an individual basis. It is possible that some of the players are 1 or 2 years older than they claim but they are still young even at that.

I know the backgrounds of a few and they are mostly small boys. Awoniyi finished just before the tournament that same year.

Amuneke's 2015 team were even younger as some like the goal keeper was still in secondary school

What brought about this discourse was icon4s comparison of Ogu and Aina's age that looking at their face some would believe Aina is older but i drew his attention that seeing them physically Ogu na old bros o.

On Awoniyi you are right.He was a toddler when i finished from university cos they lived closer to campus,his Dad is area bro.I can say a lot about him and his age but one thing is glaring no matter what the 2013 U17 team were young.

Certitude:
Sir, it ain't today. Mikel was said to be older then by people who were supposedly close to him. No MRI stuff then sef o. We all know how far as nigga is still balling and ain't showing signs of stopping soon. I forgot that he is supposed to be 50 now.

Sir,true talk some exaggerate age issue ridiculously by adding 10 good years to player's age but my point is face don't determine someone's age.

andrew444:
Bros make una leave age matter okay,not only africa go age cheat,and forget about the MRI scan of a thing,let us not bring our player down because of age.

But we nigerians by seeing someone who is 21 or 22 we know the person so lets stop deceiving our self.

If you beleive those players age then i think you are born in Somalia and not nigeria

Thank you Andrew make we just leave this age matter.

tbaba1234:
I know that age cheating is widespread in Nigeria but i disagree with the bolded statement. Ekong and Idowu are 25 and 26. There is no way Iheanacho, Uzoho, Awaziem and Ndidi are 25 and 26. Iheanacho grew up in the system so he is definitely younger than that. Iheanacho, Uzoho and even Ndidi passed MRI tests in 2012/2013. Even in the worst case scenarios, they are not that old.

Even from their mannerisms, you can tell the small boys in camp. Iheanacho, Awaziem, Iwobi, Ndidi, Uzoho all act like young boys...

Sir age is not about acting like small boys and on our players age,well i hate discussing it but mind you i was with these guys in UAE 2013 so i know what am talking about.

Truly they are young but i can tell you that they are older than Aina and Ebuehi.

[quote author=Icon4s post=68433608][/quote]Chief i don keep me mouth shut o

Icon4s:
Who looks older between a 30years old Ogu and Aina? If the later was born and raised in Nigeria those always shouting age cheating for no gree us hear word.

Just also like I recently told someone Uzoho is 19 and I know the serious argument that followed that my comment.

Sir are you talking about face or physical appearance.Ogu na old man o seeing this guys physically then you know who is older.

I can tell you that the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho,Francis Uzoho,Awaziem,Ndidi are older than Aina,Ebuehi and don't be surprised some of them might even be older than Idowu and Ekong.

Don't let us go into home born and foreign born player's age o.Leon Balogun of home born would have been 24 years not 29 years old and Ekong would be claiming 19.

AIG07:
Only 5 of our players (Mikel, Onazi, Musa, Moses and Omuero) have been to the world cup before. I only hope the rest will not be carried away by the jamboree

andyanders:
One thing with politics in Nigeria is that you must be a criminal to go into politics in Nigerian. Politicians cannot allow you play any politics or join their party, unless you are ready to kill. What this Oyedepo stated should be the truth of the matter. Saraki I believe,did not and cannot ask or send them to rob,but as a politician, he must have local criminals that would always fight for them during election. This is what all of them does in all states of the federation. It is a pity that Saraki's local thugs took advantage of their position to rob and kill such number of innocent civilians. Roping him into the robbery by those boys has political undertone. Still, it is just to tell us the extent politicians can go when they needed power at all cost. These local thugs they kill their percieved enemies during election and they get rewarded once they achieve their aim.

God bless you for this highly reasonable post.

fyneguy:
You are the unreasonable one here!

In the cause of Offa robbery investigation, the suspects said they were political thugs used by Saraki and the Government to perpetrate heinous crimes, including assassination!

Are you suggesting that the Police should overlook that confession and stick to the robbery case?

Oh a reasonable fellow listen and be very calmed in any public discourse cos we are sharing ideas and knowledge.

Pls tell me one political assassination in Kwara State?then i will keep quiet.

Pls what confessions are you talking about cos what am hearing is offa robbery.

Pls let me hear more cos it seem you know much about Saraki,his thugs and crimes

joey150:
Imagine the nonsense you are saying.

So because not only saraki has thugs he shouldn't be investigated?

I think we deserve every bit of hardship we're getting in this country.

Keep taking sides with politicians like a football fan. Finally, if we check it's all tribalism and stupid sentiments. You ain't gaining nothing from the person you are wasting your data to defend.

Pls calm down and don't be emotive in this discourse.

Pls is Saraki involved in Offa robbery either by finance or aiding

If he is involved he should be prosecuted without bias and sentiment.

I think from little investigation so far Saraki is not involved cos the ammunitions used was supplied by ex SARS Michael Adikwu.

On thuggery,well is left for police to prove beyond reasonable doubts without any loopholes and nail Saraki.

But on Offa robbery Saraki has no case to answer.

naijaguy123456:
Just what I thought too not knowing it's the unknown Oyedepo .

In Kwara politics is there any difference between Saraki and Oyedepo when it comes to thugs usage?Only God will save Nigerians from politicians,they are all criminals.

Those who don't know Oyedepo who think he is talking objectively but you know what fear of Saraki decamping from APC and hijack the PDP from him is just the issue,nothing more.

Kwara politicians are rogues who always after themselves inclusive Oyedepo who enriched himself as mere commissioner.

Icon79:
When exactly did Clemence Westerhof held this open screening session? Or were you referring to a different Westerhof? Please, you guys should stop all these nonsense because there are people here who actually follow all these things and have been following for the past 15 years as well. I remember correctly that Nigerians started wailing and crying that Westerhof must include Tijani Babangida in the team just because he scored a hat trick in the final friendly game the team played in Nigeria, but Westerhof ignored all that nonsense and went to the World Cup with the team he had.

Nigerians are the most annoying people on the planet. Every single one of them knows better than the coach while there are out there making peanuts while the coaching is raking in millions. Which begs the question, if you actually knows better than the coach, my not go out there and show your stuff? No, they only do their own coaching behind the computer screens. That's why we call them the Internet Certified Coaches (ICC).

Absolutely right, nothing like open screening during Westerhoff period but systematically phases camping than spanned from 1989 - 1994 cos i followed the team passionately even to their official camp site at Papendal in Holland courtesy Segun Odegbami.

Yes a lot craved for inclusion of Tijani Babangida but he was dropped.It was a tough decision by Westerhoff cos Ikpeba was nearly dropped for him but good Ikpeba was part of the team to Afcon 94 and already part of the team and Finidi was in top form so the team did not need Tijani.

Tijani didn't scored any hat trick in his eagles career.The last friendly at home was played in Ibadan against Georgia.The match ended 5-1 with Yekini and Siasia scored a brace apiece and Mutiu Adepoju scored the fifth goal.I remember Rufai was in goal with Eguavoen, Iroha,Uche Okechukwu, Nwanu at the defence, Oliseh and Okocha in the middle, Finidi and Amuneke in the wing and Amokachie and Yekini leading the attack.

AlloyAgu,Uche Okafor,Mike Emenalo,Samson Siasia,Efan Ekoku,Mutiu Adepoju, Victor Ikpeba, Tijani all came in the second half.It was a match that gave Siasia opportunity to reclaim his starting in the XI back and Okocha to the bench at WC.

As you said nothing like open screening cos Westerhoff had good 5 years to build the team which he started with 89 WC qualifier against Cameroon in Yaoundé,Algiers 90,Ecowas cup,Senegal 92,Tunisia 94 and US 94.

We gained more politically and infrastructurally during pmb

What facts than framing up and nothing will happen in the SW cos Buhari is doing wonder abi.No wonder they call us sophisticated morons.

Lukas could become another wizard football master. I just saw him played once for Man City first team and I was belle full he is good enough for the Super Eagles but no...NFF is waiting he becomes super star finish before dem start to chase em shadows.

I have also seen Bashiru played for Manchester City first team and I think he will be a good addition.

I have not seen his elder brother and Amaechi hence I can't comment on them.

Oga whether dem good or not make we dey cap dem go instead of 5 years old Kwara Polytechnic graduates playing for U 21.
