Ideye has been given a late call-up to face DRC. I remeber Rohr said, he wanted to play fringe players for that match. No need to risk injury.
Ideye getting late call up?

pinnick has done that already by given rohr a new 2 year deal. regardless of the teams performance rohr is on the right track and i foresee this team doing wonders in the next afcon if they qualify. rohr's positive input in this team is obvious by the way the team qualified in style from one of the toughest groups when no one gave them a chance. i must also commend pinnick and his crew for giving their immerse support to the coaching crew by creating an enabling environment for them to work. for once the interference of agents and God-fatherism which have bedeviled our national team for a long time is now a thing of the past. now players turning out good performances in their various clubs both in the local scene and Europe are given fair chances to prove themselves by inviting them by merit. now we have a coach who makes out to to visit our players in their various clubs to check how they are fairing and also intervene on their behalf when they aren't seeing much playing time.
Sir the contract extension was based on WC qualification and it was on initial contract agreement signed by Rohr and NFF.

This did not state that Rohr's job is secured irrespective of his performance.Nigeria is a great football nation that have been to five WC with three 2nd round qualification,so Nigerians are expecting good performance and anything short of this can lead to sack if not properly.handled.

He is one of the most inform midfielder we have who also plays in Seria A and thats a big deal because we dont have many choices. We have to look beyond the injury prone thing and use him based on his current form and what he brings to the table
Yes he had a good season but go by Poland and Serbia match he still need to work hard to make the team cos playing in serial A cannot do it alone.

And whoever thinks Rohr will drop Joel Obi need to think again. That guy is very disciplined ,hardly loses any ball,he grows with the game and can be very influential in the game.
Sir you want Ahmed Musa out and Joel in but Musa have better chance than Joel though injury free Joel is difficult to drop.

I see Emma as modern day left wing player compared to traditional Edebor,Okenla,Etokebe and Elahor.This was the reason Westerhoff preferred him and Ikpeba than Elahor.

I was always Nigeria. And I made the WC final in my hood every damn time. The only time I lost the title in the final... Was to my elder brother who was France that year. Goal was scored by a counter top with the name "Thierry Henry" angry

Table soccer, also called "Bottle tops league" in my hood because we could play it on large or good wide-sized tables, flat rug surfaces, concrete grounds and even carpet-covered floors, was one of my very favorite pastimes as a kid when not reading from my mum's library or watching Cadbury breakfast show(usually after chores is done) or all those Saturday football shows or even best of football on Sundays on NTA. cheesy


I was never tired of winning... I played to trash opponents. I didn't give a damn... I just love how winning makes one feel...
....your own table soccer was modern,icon4s own was pure floor with Biro cover to.play it.

My man this yahoo yahoo of a things really dealt a blow to our sports development.

The stadiums are scanty now compare to what we have before,you see guys then in Basketball court,Track and field,table tennis, boxing arena,handball,volleyball and football fields doing massive training especially during weekends.

Now they are in clubs jamming WizKids and Davido songs '30 billions in my account 'wey no dey but fictiius' if Yahoo yahoo no gel,then kidnapping and robbery.

Most of Taiwo Awoniyi's mates that started the game with him are into yahoo yahoo,blasting music up and down and wasting away.

That Chukwueze could turn out to be Nigeria s best LEFT FOOT ATTACKER in history the way he is going...better than Friday Elahor....He seems to have some finesse about him.. Amuneke was an action attacker cum winger...Elahor had flair...but this guy..Chukwueze..left footer,attacking from the right...is something else..almost sumptous grin
I'm still waiting for left foot attacker better than Adokiye Aimesemeka,Humphrey Edebor,Folorunsho Okenla,James Etokebe and Friday Elahor,hope Chukwueze can keep his head cool cos he has everything to be the best.

Mujtahida:
Name the starting eleven of our Afcon winning team of 2013 without checking Internet. I told you that you are reading today's over emphasis on tactical into football of the past. Do you know that arsenal was just a rowdy set of drunks and smokers when arsene Wenger came in 1996? Do you know that as at 1987 some football teams were just made up of non professional players? In the midst of all our discussions yesterday I even went and watched highlights of Owen's goals. Baba come see ugly pitches. The game has progressed. Heck some people calling themselves coaches as at 87 were nothing but motivational speakers. Go watch Nig v England 1995 friendly. Niger used 4-4-2, England same thing. You know why? Tactical awareness was very limited then. So if he says he understood then as at 87,you should understand that he understood it based on the knowledge of football prevailing at that time-- who score, who dribble, who win, shikena
Good analysis and good elyte89 agreed without reservation.I know some would be surprised that how can this man watched Expana 82 but that's the fact cos i followed the game passionately at a very young age.

I'm a typical stadium boy.My house situated at sultan road was separated from Ilorin township stadium with a fence,anytime i woke up it was me and main bowl saying good morning.

This gave me a great opportunity of watching local leagues live at a very young age,watching clubs like Water corporation later known as Kwara Bomber and now Kwara United and seeing most visiting teams was a great memory till dates

Talking about Nigeria football in the 80s just too easy for me,right from 1980 nations cup,Shagari cup,WAFU cup won for keep by great NNB of Benin, historical match between shooting star of Ibadan and Zamalek in 1984,this was the last match great Segun Odegbami played and announced his retirement unceremoniously cos the team was disbanded by then Oyo state governor Col.Oladayo Popoola.I remembered great Leventis united a division three club side who won FA cup known then as Challenge cup.

What of great and healthy rivalry between Leventis united and Abiola babes,1986 FA cup between the two clubs could be described as rivalry of copa de rel of Barca and Real.It was an own goal from Toyin Ayinla that beat Raymond King hands down that decided the winner in a tension soaked match.

The real traditional rival are Shooting star and Rangers international.Rangers was formed after Biafra war and to rival shooting star and to bring unity to already wounded country and it really brought real reintegration cos anytime Rangers have away match you see Igbos in their thousands supporting the team.

This really brought love and stability back to Nigeria.I remember watching Ranger and Shooting live in Ibadan in 1982 with my uncle who was a good supporter of Ranger international in Ilorin. We travelled from Ilorin to watch the match and come see carnivals displayed by the two sides.The match was tagged Chairman Christian Chuckwu vs Mathematical Segun Odegbami.

During this period we have good teams like Flash Flamingos,Bendel Insurance, Raccah Rover, First Bank,NNB,ACB,Stationary stores,IBWA,Femo Scorpions, Nasco jets,Sharks fc,Iwuanyanwu nationale,Enyimba Leventis united, Abiola Babes,Ranchers Bees etc

I had the opportunity of watching these teams live especially the group stage of Challenge cup which Ilorin township stadium always picked as one of the host.It was massive then seeing four solid teams camp in Ilorin for group stage.

My real knowledge of the game really started in 1984 afcon and it was a great tournament for young Nigeria team coached by Onigbinde and captain by 22 years old Stephen Keshi with likes of Muda Lawal,Henry Nwosu, Ademola Adeshina,Yisa Sofoluwe,Humphery Edebor,Bright Omokaro,Suday Eboigbe,Peter Rufai,Patrick Okala.

I remember the epic semi final between Nigeria and Egypt which we won by penalties,this match gave fame to Peter Rufai and in the final we lost due to inexperienced and Rufai missed the match due to injury and Patrick Okala replaced him.Cameroon had a great team from Espana 82,this was a team that didn't lose a match at Espana but good outing for Nigeria.

Talking about tactics and formations then?nobody cares,just see your team on the field of play doing it but then it was traditional 4-4-2 with four defenders two midfielder two wingers and two attackers.

Were Dosu Joseph, Garba Lawal, Mobi Oparaku and Tijani Babangida members of the Super Eagles as at the 1995/ early 96? No, o. Dey were only promoted after Atlanta Olympics which was held later in the year. AFCON is in January. So those 4 players wouldn't have made the 96 AFCON list.
I just got this off head but Tijani Babangida was an alternative player to US 94 and was dropped for Victor Ikpeba..Mobil Oparaku.was picked along Celestine Babayaro, Wilson Oruma and Kanu Nwankwo of Japan 93 fame.Honestly you are right on Dosu Joseph,just remembering now it was Emma Babayaro.
