Oasis007:
The Lineup, if true, is fantastic. It's really a good Call by Rohr and his Crew. We do not need to play as Underdog, rather let's show the World what this Team is capable of.

Eagles were known for entertaining, dazzling Football internationally, and I am so much believing this Team gonna be exciting to watch on the Pitch.

Rohr's Contract should be extended till 2023, coz it's damn apparent he's building a formidable Team for the Country in the Future. I'm kinda believing Rohr is simply building a very solid and superb Team for the Future - catch them young Tactic.

Whatever happens tonight matters not, also whatever happens at the Mundial shouldn't be taken to the Heart. We should all believe in the Rohr's Project for the Eagles, coz with him in charge till 2023...... we may possibly win it in Qatar!

ChrisKels:
Ebuehi to be dropped instead of Aina who hasn't played on the right back position even for once, for the Eagles? This is funny

TheSuperNerd:
Nigeria 4-1 Argentina Under Siasia screams a Big Helloooooo!!!!!!!!

Danielnino00:
Yea... but what it if Rohr has plans to try Aina at RB too?

MetalJigsaw:
Hello guys, there's something I want to ascertain about V. Moses. Which foot is his stronger one is it right, left or both feet since the guy seems to fit in playing comfortably on both flanks for SE.

Thanks.

Danielnino00:
Ekong as captain isn't a bad idea IMO, Balogun isn't the legitimate deputy to Mikel and Onazi, and just like some folks already said, the captain armband might b a burden to him....



Correct me if I'm wrong but the captain rank in the team currently is - 1- Mikel 2- Onazi 3- Musa 4- Echijele

Icon79:
It's funny you'd say that because on last few occasions Joel Obi had played for the Super Eagles, he played in a double pivot with Mikel. And based on my personal assessment and in the assessment of those who know better than I do (and I am talking about the legends of the game, such as Mathematical Segun Odegbami), Joel outshined Mikel each time. This isn't to say that Mikel didn't play well in those games, but it tells you how good Joel Chukwuma Obi can be when he's at his best.

But is he gonna outshine Mikel on current form, I doubt it. Why ... because injuries have affected his speed and impacted his game in other ways, but he's still a quality player.

Icon79:
Not surprised because, against Algeria, the armband was a little too heavy for Balogun. This has nothing to do with Leon .... some players, such as Harry Kane, just get weighed down by that responsibility.

Magink:
But why would Ekong be the Captain when there's Balogun and Victor moses on the line up? i hope it won't be an issue cos it's quite strange, even thought it's only a friendly.

tbaba1234:
OGN and scorenigeria say Joel Obi is starting. Ekong is captain.

asha80:

Hahahahahah!

I just tire when I see am.

A true fan will know that Mikel and Moses are the real X factor. They can change a game within seconds.

forgiveness:
John Fashanu never rejected to play for Nigeria rather the coach rejected him. He was even on the bench in one of our friendly and it was after the match he decided to play for England because the coach didn’t like him

“I actually wanted to play for Nigeria and I came home thrice but the coach felt I was not good enough for his team. He only selected me for a friendly match against China but I was an unused substitute,” Fashanu said.



Dele Alli had his primary education in Nigeria.

gbosaa:
You missed out Efan Ekoku and Dickson Etuhu

Mujtahida:
I admire his faith and resolve. But no player has turned down Nigeria and gone ahead to really cut it in international football.I call it the Nigerian curse. I am not wishing him bad ooo. Not at all. But those are the facts. Moreover the German production line is heavy with talents waiting and more popping up.

Before somebody mentions Olisadebe just remember Olisadebe did not turn down Nigeria. He nationalised and played for Poland. Alaba too never rejected Nigeria. In fact he waited and waited and no call came. The naija curse is real. Oga Kog45 please give us a run down of those who have rejected this beloved Gwg.

Icon79:
Wow. Some of the things you read on this forum! Pls can you show me the posts where a lot of people were against Joel Obi's call up? On the contrary what me and many other knowledgeable members of this forum kept saying is that Joel Obi is our best midfielder but have been hindered by injuries. You guys should quit fabrications here because that's very annoying!

DrKlever:
. I get your point sir! Who Rohr rates is not exactly my issue, it's crystal clear Joel Obi is more creative and a better passer of the ball with better football IQ than both Onazi and Ogu. so why pin him to the bench because he's new. is this his first appearance in gwg? if not injury, who is Ogu where Joel is? And will he blend effectively with the team if he doesn't get to play in these friendlies. Remember this is a possible replacement for Mikel. God forbid, Mikel picks an injury, is it then you would start interegrating him into the team?

Which kain Wahala be this now? Me wey no recharge my Startimes decoder for over 1 year. Don't even know whether it is still working sef.

Akpeyi has suddenly become better than Ezenwa.

I thought he was the worst goalkeeper that has worn the Eagles jerseys?

Oga, I judge players more based on their performances in the Super Eagles.

Ezenwa has performed better than Akpeyi in the Eagles jerseys.

DrKlever:
. Lol Joel Obi is more creative than all of them, and a better all round player than Onazi and Ogu. you wouldn't bench a new comer messi for example, in our team because he needs to prove himself in gwg. na beans him dey pick for him Torino?

daveP:
One of these goalies must be mature enough to pull a de Gea now.... lol

elyte89:
Behind in what sense boss?,late coming to pitch or performance wise?

soetanoreoluwa:
Can he play as AM?

MetalJigsaw:
exactly...
I think a a 4-4-2 is the most suitable formation

Daejoyoung:
Well none of Ndidi, Onazi, or Ogu offer so much in attacking midfield. Except they can surprise us though.

soetanoreoluwa:
How can we fair with this?
