You mean we couldn't pay Peseiro what he wanted. Because I'm quite sure that with Peseiro, this game will end in a draw. Here I worry that south Africa might find another goal. Which will make it 2 nil.

Silver bird tv is showing this match na.

EEGA:
Ndidi back in midfield as Frank Onyeka failed a late fitness test.

Ihefu FC of Tanzania player, Benjamin Tanimu will now pair Semi Ajayi at Central defence.

We will miss the dirty works of frank the tank in this match. However Ndidi new found ability to be a B2B player will be helpful.Ndidi can now score and assist.

LoverOfPussy:
Stanley Nwabali
Bright Osayi-Samuel
Semi Ajayi
Wilfred Ndidi
Calvin Bassey
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru
Alex Iwobi
Frank Onyeka
Ademola Lookman
Paul Onuachu
Kelechi Iheanacho


If this is true then finidi nor serious
Playing Ajayi and Ndidi together
Two guys prone to mistakes

Prone to mistakes and they are not fast . It's already enough having Ajayi in centre back, since Ajayi started his career as a DM all you need was allow him push the ball more while playing him alongside a sturdy natural CB

EEGA:
Starting XI:

Nwabali
Ndidi
Ajayi
Osayi
Bassey
Iwobi
Onyeka
Fisayo Dele Bashiru
Iheanacho
Onuachu
Lookman


It's a 4-3-3.

Nawa oo, Boniface really needs to be more serious than this comic relief caricature figure he poses as. If Onuachu and lookman who arrived barely three days ago and Iheanacho who had a subpar season could start ahead of him.

Cute Milf

Bad boy

Danielnino00:
Score Nigeria are reporting that Onuachu will lead the attack

Is Finidi thinking he will be the one to cross the balls to Onuachu to head in today.

Senegal and Algeria couldn't win at home. While Mali that beat us in our last friendly couldn't win at home as they lost to the Black Stars of Ghana.

Nawa ooo, Ndidi and Iheanacho of yesterday don turn two most senior players for national team.

ChrisKels:
Look who we have here!!!

Focal point - Carl the son of Ikeme.

Why is he in town. Is it for the Eagles match or for Ekong's exhibition?

This life is really amazing and some people look like they are destined for top no matter what. It's the story of Vincent Kompany in recent times. Winning the Championship with Burleny was a great story, relegated in EPL and now singing as head coach for Bayern Munich seems unheard of. What are the chances and has it happened before, for a manger who has been relegated in a league getting a chance to manage one of the biggest team in the world.

Simmy aka Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo scored a brace for salerintana

charlesemeka85:
Barca, Westham and Juventus interested in Ademola Lookman

West Ham will just be showing interest in Nigerian players above their status. We've happily allowed them go for Taiwo Awoniyi if they wish. Ademola should only play in Italy, maybe for Juventus or Inter Milan

David Moyes failed to realize early how important black players were for him. If only he had enough of them during his days in Manchester United he would have stayed longer. At Everton he had the likes of J. Yobo, Steven Pienaar, Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

At west Ham he has a plethora of black players and he is suddenly seeking for more black with a keen interest on it being a Nigerian player. For now Boniface and lookman are a bit above the club level.

Darell2002:
What does Rome have to do with it

The capital of Italy. Often times it is standard practice to refer to a country by calling it's capital city. Since Atalanta is an Italian team, you can say city of Rome.

Napoleon55:
It's just a subtle dig on Osimhen.
Anything to make Osimhen look ordinary

Oh yeah. I didn't know someone figured this out earlier.

charlesemeka85:
kome na u write this thing Abi dem don hack your account?😳

Abi dem born boni for Chesterfield?😳

I guess you don't know where he is going with that point yet. he was gradually aiming a dig at Osimhen. He has been insisting Boniface can start ahead of Osimhen.

Italian Seria A relagation battle is fierce. Maduke Okoye's Udinese leapfrog to 15 on the table after beating Lecce away.

Marjoribanks:
Isaac Success looks so fit and balling!
I believe Boniface needs to shed some weight.

He is looking too big and unfit!

.

Many will never know the quality of Isaac so sad how his career went. I remember him as that boy from under 17s AFCON who had a precontrat with Udinese worth over 3 million Euros. If Iheanacho never hit those heights, Isaac certainly got stuck in his own blooming height, he never bloomed.

ChrisKels:
I'm not comfortable having Amokachi as Finidi's first assistant or member of back room staff.

You don't want a man who will be giving us sexy penetrating ideas in the back room staff meetings

charlesemeka85:
Portuguese side, Chaves have filed a disciplinary case against Kelechi Nwakali, who was on his phone on the substitute bench during Chaves home defeat to Famalicao.

The defeat condemned the northern Portuguese side to relegation.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

No lie you dey happy low-key not because of his predicament but because of his staunch follower who push him down our throats.

Anyways this begs the question on why his former club in spain had similar issues with him.Jibola was able to give a cover story saying his strong desires to play for Nigeria in AFCON and his passport issues were the reason for the maltreatment he received. Here is another case with photo evidence , I wonder how his apogee will defend this one

Marjoribanks:
Roma scores! 2-2 aggregate! This Alonzo na fool. No coming back today!

You say.

Cecco90:
Still on Finidi George

I have been seeing all these funny comments; “He will be controlled by the NFF.”

Finidi didn't lobby for this job. He didn't call anyone or beg people to give him the job, he applied just like many other coaches. Even after the last friendly games, he didn't engage the NFF, he went back to his job at Enyimba.

The majority of you people don’t know Finidi. Ask about him in Enyimba and the management will tell you. Also, because he is calm and he doesn't do PR stunts.

You all don’t even know, Finidi will only do things that satisfy his conscience and professionalism.

He’s one of the few ex-players without baggage and controversy.

People should also stop the blackmail of the NFF, the coaches get free hands to work, and they make their decisions and all.

There are other issues with the NFF to discuss, controlling a coach is not even their priority.

It's unfair to sit in your room and conclude Finidi is a Yes Man when you know nothing about the man and his personality.

Finidi is not a broke ex-player, he invested properly when he was playing.

- Adepoju Tobi Samuel.

This now makes me understand and appreciate how he reacted in a slightly disappointed but matured way when Bruno Fernandes exchanged jerseys with Moses simon. Finidi later cleared the air that he asked Bruno for the jersey earlier because his child is a Bruno fan.

TheGoodJoe:
See talk. There is no much difference between Domenec Torrent and Finidi George. See talk. Do you understand the tactical exposure of working with Guardiola since Barcelona B to Manchester City. I hope you read the resource that pointed that Finidi does not have a UEFA Pro Coaching License.

See talk , so what experience does Domenec Torrent have with the Super Eagles already. Finidi has been in the system for years and we have little time before our next qualifiers. What can Domenec eventually achieve before facing South Africa. With Finidi all hands should be in firm support to help deliver the result needed to qualify.

TheGoodJoe:
I just feel it is unprofessional and insulting to make people waste their time applying for the job, while sticking with the person on the job. I hope it never repeats itself.

Those who applied were not Jurgen klopp and Pep Guadiola. After much scrutiny there wasn't much difference in perceived acumen between those who applied and the now appointed manager.

I think his appointment was delayed due to the question marks raised in his last friendly against Mali. We hope he learns from that.

It will be a decade soon and some still argue here in this back and forth manner that ends nowhere ..

Charlesemeka I suppose save the link way you dey send for Bayer Leverkusen matches. Abeg can you send the one for today. Wanna watch Boniface doing some magic.

lovewins:

It's game day !
South Africa vs Nigeria, South Africa has never defeated the Super Falcons on their home soil , we hope to sustain the record.

The Nigerian high commissiononer with top staff were at the training ground with us on Monday.

When you say "us" what do you mean? Are you there with the team too?

Our own very dear Victor Boniface is on bench today.

Samueltemi337:
West Ham interested in Taiwo Awoniyi

He would definitely complete the team, with Mohammed Kudus run and power play.

TheGoodJoe:

LOL. So how come they did not qualify for 39 years before Amunike's arrival.

They were 16 teams for the large part and they stood no chance. At some point Nigeria was struggling under the 16 team format, though in-between that format where we failed to qualify, we came back to win the next one only for us to fail to qualify after that. The thin margin between African big teams and small teams was becoming blurry. The need to expand it to 24 teams in 2019 saw us come 3rd. Prior to that we did not qualify for 2015 which Ivory Coast won and 2017 which Cameroun won. In 2013 as well, Cameroun did not qualify. We won in 2013. But we failed to qualify in 2012 where Zambia won. If we had continued with the 16 team method, I dare say it will be difficult for us how much more Tanzania.
