That is outrageously expensive....My budget is like 40 -50 $$$

United States based man spend this $$$

tbaba1234:
I saw it. The list released by the NFF includes John Ogu. No other Official list has been released. Ogu is currently on the plane with the team to England, he can not be dropped mid-air.

There was probably some omission. The final list will be released after England

Omeruo too was missing,anyhow let's settle England first and see final list.

somehow:
Bros me self confused cos i set news alert on my phone, got the alert and checked. too many questions on my mind if true.

cos brilla no dey mess up when it comes to news

tbaba1234:
The 23 man list has not been released, it will be released after the England game. The boys are in the air now.

Yes on the air with the same jet plane that carried Liverpool to Kiev for champions league final.

We should expect 23 man list after England game or the Brilla sports saw the expo.

somehow:
Watch the video, Brila didn't say their own list o, it says Rohr's list.





Bro, i also doubted but they didnt say it's their list, they quoted Rohr and it's even a video clip.

Somehow pls explain more cos i thought it was 25 man list now 23 man list.

Wetin dey happen

Martz101:
not total nonsense, he was rule out for 2 to 3 weeks last week, i believe his injury is not too serious, the london scan could rule on his favour.

lets just watch

I think it's a thigh injury and was rule out for four weeks and sometimes it takes six weeks to heal though lesser thigh injury takes a week or two.Hope to hear positive results from London scan.

fasanyaakintoye:
FUNMI MARTINS SAID HBD TO YOU

Haba,oya talk now let hear the story,abi no be dating.Pls give respect to the dead.

comodo:
I doubt if John Ogu will not be in the list. Agu & Joel, one will miss out.

I thought Ogu was on the list.Yes you are right either Joel or Agu gona be dropped but let see it as a battle between Ogu,Etebo,Joel and Agu.

goldfish80:
By the way, if I was Agbo, I will be furious with Gernot Rohr. He was never given the chance to prove himself. You cannot keep inviting a player and give him no chance to justify his invitation, even in a micky mouse friendly. It is very very unfair. The world in this millennium do not reward meek people.

Sir if Agbo make it i will tag Rohr a fraud cos no justification for it.

Agbo know why he was getting invitation and he must know why he was dropped.

zoboizee:
The coach is very predictable. He had made himself clear. He is sticking with the majority of the boys that played the qualifiers. Especially his preferred first team & bench. If Simon is fit, he gets selected, otherwise, the spot is taken probably by simmy or Joel. The squad can't be far from the names below barring injury at the last minute to any of the players. Obedience, Loyalty, Experience, Talents, Competence & Seniority are all factored-in in choosing players in Nigeria.

Goalkeepers
1. Francis Uzoho
2. Ikechukwu Ezenwa
3. Daniel Akpeyi

Defenders
4. Bryan Idowu
5. Elderson Echiejile
6. Shehu Abdullahi
7. Tyrone Ebuehi
8. Leon Balogun
9. William Troost-Ekong
10. Kenneth Omeruo
11. Chidozie Awaziem

Midfielders
12. Ogenyi Onazi
13. Oyinye Ndidi
14. Mikel Agu

16. Oghenekaro Etebo  
17. Mikel Obi

Attackers
19. Victor Moses
20. Ahmed Musa
21. Kelechi Iheanacho
22. Simmy Nwankwo
23. Odion Ighalo

Honourary Player
24. Carl Ikeme

Likely final list after England match barely any injury.

Modified... Pls Ogu is making it.

Mujtahida:
I thought depth was something we had going for this team. How is it that on the eve of the WC we are saying no depth?

The only problem is that we have too many DMs if not I don't see who else should be in that team that is not in the team.

Muj what the team need now is our total support,nothing more,hope to see eagles flying in Russia.

And the dopped players,not the end of the world.They should count themselves lucky to be among the best 30 considering the number of footballers in Nigeria.

Those in 25 man team should be happy though 23 is going but still good experience.

krattoss:
He is one of the gaffers troops

Yes you are right

krattoss:
I can imagine this dudes desperation..

But seriously eeehh, I think some injuries are highly exaggerated.. Cos even in my local league, I know some folks who play with knocks, and injuries for days maybe weeks..
I know it's kinda dangerous but I think a kind of medicine or drug can be injected to keep him going for some time.. If he is that important oo

Yes the guy want to be part of it but sometimes it can be dangerous

I remember Ben Iroha hide his injury to make US 94 but thank God Emenalo was in the team.Also Amokachie did the same thing in 1998 to denied Akpoborie a chance.

Rohr has accepted the scan and ruled Simeon out but the player insisted on having another scan in London and Rohr granted his request.

Joebie:

Thanks.

Actually, I am supporting Messi NOT Argentina


O pari

O pari master pls don't support Messi against Nigeria.

goldfish80:
This is exactly what was said about Echiejile before the Algerian game in Uyo. I recall how this thread was worried about Elderson coping with the red hot Mahrez. What later happened in the game? Mahrez was reduced to just a shot which went over the bar.
Do you honestly think, Aina would have fared better in that game?

Sir honestly i don't see Aina as better choice even Idowu but Echiejile has lost the steam and if not who is Idowu or Aina.

somehow:
Youre guilty of what you're preaching. You are trying to belittle Echiejile to hype Aina.

Funny enough, no one has been able to say how many goals came through the LB all the while Echiejile mounted that position during qualifiers.

Even agaunst9 Congo, he didn't do bad either. As for the tackle, hows that a big deal when we all saw onazi doing same in the middle?

My point? The coaching crew should be allowed to do their job, whoever they pick, its their responsibility.

Yes Sir

Joebie:
How are they similar?

Joebie pls you guys should updates us more cos right now players are in presidential villa meeting President.Also yesterday they met with Senate President.

It should be fun here now regards our analysis and,25 players remain and two more to go which will be decided after England match.

Naughtytboy:
Baba we don't have the likes of ndidi presently anywhere in and out of Nigeria at the moment so they have to work on ndidi

Hope you read my line where i said Ndidi is very important to the team and good is recuperating well, hope to see him starting against Croatia.

But if any player would be out for three weeks from now then such player should be dropped.

Naughtytboy:
sir i disagree, we don't have a deadly striker, you can't go to the world Cup with one unreliable striker. Simeon is a winger. And we all know ighalo isn't a poacher but with simy ighalo have to be on his toes

Sir did you know why you are saying this is cos Simy proved to be a quality one if not we manage what we have and nothing spoil with Ighalo,Iheanacho and Musa but good to have Simy in the midst.

asha80:
ther are few exceptions though..spain it seems want to wait on carvajal..egypt still have dreams of salah playing .

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5780667/Mohamed-Salah-heads-Spain-undergo-treatment-shoulder-injury.html

Yes you are right

Naughtytboy:
see no sensible coach will drop simy even if Moses wasn't injured,, are they playing the same wing? Simy has a lot to offer he's quick strong skilful and can hold on the ball

Sir you are rght but with Simeon out easy for Rohr to decide.

James Obiorah was marvelous with great performance against Jamaica prior to France 98 that dwarfed Simy's own against Congo but dropped.

With Simeon available it would not have been easy not that he would not make it but Rohr will have sleepless night to decide.

Even if Simeon later make it meaning one more midfielder need to go,hope you get my point.

Martz101:
we should not be talking about players in the 35 man sqaud, who knows Rohr mentioned Nwakali name because of the current pressure from the fans to call him up.

a good leader listen to his subordinate ideas and Rohr did that and his not hiding it because he sees nothing wrong with it.

Make una leave this man make he work

Sir yes you are right,now to talk on 25 man list.

asha80:
lmao is this true?

Yes

tbaba1234:
The 4 dropped men.

Rohr already made up his mind and on player to drop.

Uche Agbo surprised to see him dropped cos always make Rohr squad despite not playing

Stephen Eze lacks the pedigree to compete with Omeruo and Awaziem, so expected

Junior Lokosa had a debut and impressed as winger but hope to see him after WC.

Dele Ajiboye had a good performance in camp and gave Rohr headache in picking between him,Ezenwa and Akpeyi.

With this decision Rohr is a very conservative and good manager who believe in those that worked and gave him the desire result.

Simy should thank his star,meaning he is a missing link Rohr is looking for and fit the bill.

Hope to see good match against London and see who to drop again.

Good list.

tbaba1234:
Full Squad:

Goalkeepers: Francis Uzoho, Daniel Akpeyi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa.

Defenders: Abdullahi Shehu, Tyronne Ebuehi, William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun, Chidozie Awaziem, Kenneth Omeruo,  Bryan Idowu, Ola Aina, Elderson Echiejile.

Midfielders: Ogenyi Onazi, Mikel Agu, Wilfred Ndidi, Joel Obi, John Ogu, Oghenekharo Etebo, Mikel Obi.

Attackers: Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo and Simy Nwankwo.

I'm happy for Akpeyi

Icon4s:
Osas with Aina again

icon4s that's just the issue.

elyte89:
Boss,echiejile no b my.broda ....I no even sabi any of his relative from.adam

But we don't av to shy away from d truth,


I shld put dis question straight to u boss

Sincerely,has Aina performance so far in GWG justified echiejile's exclusion from d team?

Meanwhile boss,always try to use a "friendly " tone to read all replies,we av divergent views on issues

Haba Elyte89 i got your point,no wahala but we are in this cos Echiejile has lost his form.

If not for his form,i don't think Idowu is better not to talk of Aina.

Icon4s:
plus Akpeyi and Awaziem

Pls are you serious

elyte89:
I didn't rubbish aina,


And did we force oursef too on himlet stop painting all dis unnecessary pictures,we re helping ainas career,not d oda way round

If u read in btw lines of my statement,I only said on d colours of GWG,he has not been spectacular,sir JOEBIE sighted d Zambia game,when he came in 6mins to d end of d game,he was fresh,so what did u expect

D following match he played against Algeria,what was his performance, was he better? He could have used d match to seal echiejiles fate in d super eagles, yet Rohr didn't trust aina and he kept inviting him for further games despite not using echiejile and him at d subsequent games?

Y did he bring idowu into d mix?




Its dt not enough evidence to tell u dt Aina is not better Dan echiejile?
I repeat,Aina is not better Dan echiejile.. Simple

Sorry Sir,Echiejile is better.

goldfish80:
Come on! This is double standards. You hounded me for mentioning Osas who has better of any of these qualities you mentioned. You clearly love Aina and you're giving him a free pass.

Sir,Osas Okoro?cos all this while am looking at you.It was based on your recommendation that i needed to watch WAFU and later CHAN may be i will see better Osas but NO.

On Aina,i saw him in Chelsea some season ago and impressed but in national team not really impressed,am indifferent if Echiejile or Aina makes it even i don't see Idowu has better option cos he is not better than Echiejile of 2010-2014 but for now Echiejile has lost it.

cc: Chriskels, realpoacher.. See the report.

World Cup: Ebuehi shrugs off injury concerns

Super Eagles’ defender, Tyrone Ebuehi has played down concerns that he might be battling with a serious injury.

Ebuehi started in the Super Eagles’ 1-1 draw against DR Congo but was subbed for Shehu Abdullahi after he went down holding his leg.

The Netherlands-born left-back, who had an impressive game against DR Congo, in an exclusive interview with AOIFootball.com revealed that he only had cramps.

“No, because I haven’t played for a long time so that is why cramp started coming on my calf. Yes I will be fine for the England game,” he assured.

Super Eagles flew into Abuja on Tuesday morning ahead of a wealth investment seminar.

They are also billed to meet with Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday before jetting out to London.

As part of the preparation for the Mundial, the Eagles will play against the Three Lions of England who are also World Cup bound.

The Benfica defender further said that Nigeria could come out tops in the friendly against England in London, noting that it will not be an easy encounter.

“Everything is possible. It’s not going to be easy but I think it is possible. We can come out tops against England,” he concluded.

http://aoifootball.com/2018/05/30/world-cup-ebuehi-shrugs-off-injury-concerns/

I think medical reports from camp should do the talking not players telling us they are fit.World cup is not for unfit players.

Rohr should be the one talking on their fitness level cos players like Ebuehi and Ndidi are important to the team.

If Moses Simeon or any players would be out in the next two weeks then they should be dropped.

In other countries nothing like managing players, Romero out Argentina called replacement ASAP but here stories.
