I am not defending Ghana. I am just exercising some caution.

I have seen things like these play out over and over. A team that has booked a place and also first spot to the next round of a competition typical dont give their best in their last group game. If Ghana had needed a win against Nigeria to qualify I hope you know they would want to die on that pitch.

By and large kudos to the boys but if we meet Ghana again and this time in the final they shouldn't expect an easy ride

But Ghana w want Nigeria to be eliminated than meeting us again,probably in d final.

Icon4s:
The bolded is exactly my point.

Saying he is ripe to partner with Ekong or Balogun just from watching him against Ghana is what I am against.

Agreed but better for Eze and Adeleye to be in camp than inviting very average CB in d name of playing in Europe.

Joebie:
Game ends 1-1. Wolfsburg's misery continue. I hope them no change coach again after 3 more games.. lol

Yes, besides Balogun we don't have any defender playing in the big leagues.
So it would be a wonderful thing to have Uduokhai.

Not even big leagues but solid as Balogun especially CB position,with due respect to Ekong i still have my reservation.Awaziem sorry to say i don't rate him with what i saw against South Africa,hope he prove me wrong,Agbo too average for SE.

Rohr just need to address this before it's too late,initially i thought our fullbacks are d issue but with availability of player like Shehu, Echiejele,Aina,Ebuehi,may be Okoro and hopefully Nura Abdullahi we are covered.

I don't know how serious NFF or Rohr towards d full switch of Uduokhai to Nigeria,if d guy is available better for d team but my attention shifted to this WAFU tourney and i can say am impress with Eze,Adeleye,Okoro, though we might say d oppositions are weak but those guy are showing promises,hope Rohr is watching.

The Eze and Adeleye i saw against Ghana cannot be worse than Awaziem i saw against South Africa,so need to call this guys to camp and learn.

OMANBALA1:
Apart from the free kick Okoro scored against Siera Leone I have seen much of him...Nothing spectacular.

Apart from the free kick d guy has been solid as RB so far with good tackling and ball distribution.I needed to watch him closely coz of goldfish80 highly rating.

Icon4s:
I totally disagree with the third bullet point. You also need to consider the strength of your opposition when making comparisons. If the author had said he deserves a call up to the Super Eagles fine but to say he is ripe to partner with any of Balogun or Ekong is a hype to me.

Besides also, let us not over celebrate. Ghana had already qualified and their top spot was certain no matter the result.

Third group matches for teams that have sealed qualification and top spot are always like that.

They don't typically put in too much because of suspension and injuries.
Their coach also may have rested key players and those at risk of missing the semis if they get a second yellow.

If we meet with them again in the final be sure it will be a different ball game.

Kudos to the boys all the same.

On d third bullet point,well said,truly opposition determine player ability but sometimes it did not.When u see a class irrespective of opposition u know this particular player is good.

I just watched d match now coz I don't have d chance to watch it live,with what i saw Olamilekan Adeleye deserves a call up to mainstream super eagles ASAP may be is ready to partner Ekong or Balogun,i w say too early to say that but it w be good for him to be in camp and learn from big boys.

As u said a more competitive matches w determine his ability but to me d guy is a rock that need to be polish,he just remind me of injury prone Oyekachi Apam.

It is better to have this guys Eze and Adeleye than calling average defenders like Uche Agbo to camp always.Oboboana made it straight from sunshine to Super Eagles XI.

Oga icon4s very unusual of u.Why are u trying to defend Ghana for losing this match,Ghana w always be Ghana against Nigeria irrespective of players fielded,our boys rose to d occasion and did well.

Adaumunocha:
No Nigerian born can look that fit @60?

Why not.RMD look great at his age but what am trying to pass across is that FASH real age is 55 not 65.

Adaumunocha:
He still looks fit! Lord gimme a fitness enthusiast as a spouse at least he'll ginger me to stay fit.

Haba na British born

edgecution:
This guy fleeced Oceanic Bank.

Na u get d bank

junnyjake:
No mind am.

I thought Sevilla wanted him.

kai wahala dey,wetin Onazi do una.

thornapple:
I wonder oo,
With yoruba lyrics how much international attention can he get?.

What has Yoruba lyrics got to do with music.If u don't know King Sunny Ade was nominated for Grammy Award in 1978,also nominated again,may be 1998,if i could remember an album tagged ODU got nominated.So forget language barrier,when your music is appealing, u get d recognition.

Pls what is d meaning of breaking into international market?it is a pity we always get it wrong when we talk about international market.Pls can u tell me any Nigerian home grown artists that's doing well internationally,forget all this fake hypes from wizkid,psquare and d rest,this are d guys that went as far paying foreign artists for collabo to gain prominence internationally but at d end nothing to show for it than few awards.

I know how Dbanj almost break his bank account forcing himself on Kanye West,also wizkid of recent with Drake,d same Drake refused to feature in a video they collaborate together.Ask Psquare who try to force their way in by featuring d likes of Akon,Scott.2baba was nearly caught in d habit in a disgraceful way featuring R Kelly which Kelly denied.

I believe our artists should learn from d older ones,when u are good or your music is appealing d international audience w seek for u.Femi Kuti was nominated severally for Grammy, also Sunny Ade twice.2face won numerous international awards without trying to break into international market.2face first solo album was produce here in Nigeria and was acceptable winning numerous awards except Grammy.

A good music can take you to anywhere irrespective of language u use,ask a Senegalese Grammy award winner diouf,he w tell u music is music irrespective of language, all u need is getting it right.

Don't u know most rated Nigeria artist are wacks give them mic to sing for u live then u w know what am saying.I watch 2face live and i can say yeah d guy is damn good,no arguments about it.ASA too a great brand ,Flavour too can do it live,but what can u say about artist like Davido or Psquare who find it so difficult to give us good music live on Glo award night.

Joebie:
Agbo no be WC material yet.

My man u get eyes but to my surprise d guy is always on d list of players getting invitation,truth be told d guy lack d class.Hope Rohr find good backup for Balogun and Ekong.

tbaba1234:
We got beaten right and left in the build up to USA 94 though...

yea u are right.In one of d friendly, Sweden beat us 3-1,Kanu played this match.

TheSuperNerd:
It is Victor Moses Vs Alex Iwobi today!!!

Alex Iwobi starts as the LWF in Arsenal's 3-4-2-1/3-4-3 formation....

Victor Moses comes back into the starting lineup to star as Chelsea's RWB in their 3-4-3 formation...

Hey PDPGuy... what were you saying again?? What happened to your Zappacosta talk on benching Moses after Qarabag? looolll

Conte bench Moses?Barca here we come be dat o for Moses.

PDPGuy dey joke ni o

Super Eagles Defensive Stalwart Troost-Ekong Pleased To Score Fifth Career Goal

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/39926Ekong.png


William Troost-Ekong was delighted to net his maiden goal in the colours of Bursaspor in their 4-2 road win over Yeni Malatyaspor on match day five in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.

The central defender, making his fifth straight start in the Turkish top-flight, blasted home a loose ball in the 12th minute to open the scoring for his team.

Writing on Twitter, the former Netherlands youth-teamer stated : ''All Glory to God! So happy my first goal for @BursasporSk''.

As a defender for club and country, Troost-Ekong's main job description is to stop the opponents from scoring, but he has added goals to his games in recent seasons.

The 24-year-old has written his name on the score-sheet five times since he netted his first professional goal against Aalesunds FK on March 19, 2016.

Ekong and international teammate Mikel Agu went the distance against Yeni Malatyaspor.

Good news for Zambia match

TheSuperNerd:
Tell that to Islam Slimani.... he is Leicester's most expensive striker/forward not Nacho....

Only thing is Nacho comes with heavy buyback fee for a young African player and Hopefully he lives up to the tag with time. Kid just had his first start after struggling to get back from the toe injury setback and get his fitness levels up.. so give him a break!! haba!

So again.. talk to Slimani.... he is the one your message is for based on "most expensive" not Nacho...

Truly yea Slimani,a total flopped with that huge money but Nacho is our own,so he must not follow Slimani path coz it w definitely have effects in d national team,look at Algeria team.

I want to see Nacho doing it d way Ndidi is doing it week in week out,despite d team poor performance, Ndidii is always getting high rating.

Honestly too early to speak on Nacho performance in Leicester but irrespective of Shakespeare methods,Nacho must deliver

TheGoodJoe:
Unless amateur fans. Even Messi will be poor in a negative system. Football is not magic.

I don't think average English fan see it d way u are saying it.They don't want to know about d system but u must deliver or else they tag u a flop.

TheGoodJoe:
My problem with the current play of Leicester City is that they have the talents to play in a braver fashion but Shakespeare chose to keep playing in a timid fashion, thus inhibiting the qualities of his players. Let us see how things play out.

Yea u are right,a team that can still boast of Vardy,Mahrez,Okazaka,Ndidi replacing Kante,Slimani,and now Nacho shouldn't find it difficult in EPL.

komekn:
Watched Tega Abraham yesterday against Tottenham for a 19 year old his performance was astounding. Leading the attack for Swansea in the EPL he's definitely real quality.

I have watched him since he was 15/16 his level is just improving at a very fast upward spiral. Positional sense, anticipation and awareness, he now also has presence and lots of Shakara technical ability and yes he got some pace.

Amaju no time to waste call him now to eat Owo and starch before it is too late. I currently rate him more than Rashford, than Dembele he brings more to the table. He is also younger than all these guys.

If u can rate this young lad more than Rashford and Dembele,then Nigeria should forget him.I don't think England w allow him to play for us,also NFF attitudes.Do u know how long it took NFF to finish Aina paper or what do u think of losing Akanji.

Funny enough,Amaju was banking on his relationship with his Father,this foreign born think differently except few ones that were brought up in our own way in foreign Land.I hope Tammy have great influence of his Dad just like Aina's Dad.

Pls just look at Tournarigba Ojokojo and Irofa case.This two lads should have been d easiest switch for Nigeria but funny enough Dominic Irofa of all people telling us his son w decide for himself,also Ojokojo that i know very well in shooting star saying his son wanna play for Germany.

So what is our hope on Abraham Tammy,Solanke,Onomah,Ojo,Adarabioyo etc if we can not easily get d likes of Irofa and Ojokojo who are lucky to have Father who are home grown ex player.

TheGoodJoe:
Finger pointing will be a joke by fans and pundits (although I do not see this happening) because it is obvious the system is poor and thrash. History of the EPL points fingers to managers and not players.

True talk managers always feel d heat but can we say Leicester is a big team,truly they won EPL but wasn't surprise with their performance so far or what do u expect, credit to Ranieri for giving d club good image.Shakespeare came in and make sure d team remain in EPL and we must give him that credit.

I know u are not happy with d development of Nacho,Ndidi even Musa under Shakespeare but there is nothing anybody can do about it.It's either our players perform or face d music like Musa.Thank God Ndidi is doing it weekly and hope Nacho should do d same thing irrespective of what Shakespeare bring to d table.Mind u £25m is not a joke,so high expectations on Nacho to deliver.

How i wish Nacho join club like Dortmund where he can blossom well but sometimes players always have their reason for chosen club.Truly Leicester want him more than any other club at that moment,just let see how it goes but i believe Nacho w show his class.

BascoVanVeli:
It's only the WAFU cup na, the keeper was the only one who had not played. He did a good job btw.

meaning is not a serious tournament,anyway Ajiboye did not disappoint but i expect Ezenwa in goal to further boost his confidence against Zambia.

BascoVanVeli:
Nothing happened, Ezenwa and Eze were rested and should return against Ghana on Monday.

Rested?hope not injury coz all our matches are crucial,so why keeping your best players on d bench when qualification is still dicey,especially your NO 1 keeper.

Humility017:
my brother I have watched both guys play...
I tell you Moses is in a class of it's own...
his drive and dribbling skills is top notch..
I am just worried of the fact....that conte being an Italian he may likely be sentimental

then Moses off to Barca straight,hope u dey see Matic in Man u colour,my club Chelsea funny die.

TheSuperNerd:
Elder Sir Kog45... please allow me...

It is called "Reactionary Meltdown" because a guy that has Costa in his name scored... looolll

And against who? Qarabag.... who in the heavens is Qarabag?

Conte rested Moses, Morata, Hazard, Bakayoko and even David Luiz from the starting lineup... and someone tells me Moses is suddenly under huge threat because of a Zappacosta goal against a team I didn't even know exist until the UCL qualifiers began several weeks ago.... Hahahahahahahahaha....... unless Conte is sentimental because he too is Italian... I haven't seen what makes Davide Zappacosta an upgrade on Victor Moses. Full stop!

My Oga i wonder o

ChrisKels:
Why do u guys even give credence to this guy's nonsensical post by quoting him?

True talk but u know what a lot are just too fond of this foreign guys to d detriment of their players.

tbaba1234:
Sorry, He is not on the level of Troost Ekong. That has got to be a joke. Let us see Eze at a higher level, first.

The Troost Ekoong that played both legs against Cameroon was not average.

Yes at higher level may be he can do it but Ekong still remain d best for now coz he is growing everyday,better than Ekong of Olympics,hope before world cup he w turn to complete defender coz he still need to raise his game.

PDPGuy:
Yes, it was kinda flukey
But I'm not saying Moses won't play again for CFC this season. Of course, he will get some minutes against "lesser" EPL sides, FA cup and league cup opponents. Hence, he shouldn't go to another club in January.

Haha Haba,what is d meaning of this for God sake.Okay tell me d reason for this comment,likely u may have your point but am lost.

TheGoodJoe:
Definitely it is not 1985.

Even the wiki link says this.


In 1983 in Nigeria when Shehu Shagari was the President of Nigeria, an executive order was given to immigrants without proper immigration documents to leave the country or they would be arrested according to the law. Most of the immigrants were West Africans and mainly Ghanaians. Over 2 million men, women and children were affected by this news and decision of then President of Nigeria, Shehu Shagari

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_Must_Go

Ghana started it all,in 70s Nigerians were force to leave Ghana.It was a retaliation from Nigeria government.

bamite:
Are you drunk? The way some of you ipobs sound, it's as if your heads are not normal. Or is it the flatness that causes it?

Pls who is a drunkard between two of u for God sake.The guy was saying d truth and u are talking thrash.This is my problem with u guys here,sentiment always override your sense of reasoning.

Mind u nobody w recall Saraki from Kwara central if u know Ilorin people very well and d funniest thing d man Abdullahi Hamzat did not vote for Saraki so why recalling,honestly some of u are jokers here,better wait for 2019 and vote for better candidates.

goldenceo1:
Another futile attempt. even Buhari, Tinubu, n Apc elites can't recall Saraki...

Anybody that know Ilorin people very well w know this is a day dream.Recalling Saraki from Kwara central.Haba na awada kerikeri.

secretcode01:
I'm from Ilorin and what's written there is absolutely true with no exaggeration whatsoever. It's just unfortunate our traditional ruler is colliding with him to sell kwara. The governor is just there as a manager while saraki owns kwara. Saraki is a nightmare in kwara but with the support of those traditional rulers and the fake imams and the witches praying for his victory for their pockets, kwara will remain doomed.

I know for sure, he may be intelligent and good at the game but he can't escape the wrath of God in the hereafter!

Pls who want to recall Saraki?are u guys joking or dreaming.It seems u don't know Ilorin people.Pls don't be part of it coz u are on a long thing,Kwara central recalling Saraki,u guys funny die.
