Honestly, I prefer Musa going to the world Cup than other wingers fighting for his wing because he is experienced and talented.

Na sure banker em dey go world cup.

Now na banker but 1 month ago na useless brainless player that is all about speed, Nigerian fans are not consistent

Humility017:
you're right....I believe that injury will just rest ndidi for a while..he will definitely make it for the world cup....thank God the dude is still young....he will surely heal fast.

but I still fear for Moses Simon....
any good play from Henry or yinka should the latter two get to play for the super eagles... prior the release of the final list....

may erase Moses Simon chances....

a good outing for Henry or yinka in the GWG rohr will not overlook

Rohr is very loyal, he wont drop Moses simon

I've said it countless time, ighalo is our best option, all we need it to provide more goal scoring chance to him and he will do the job

MetalJigsaw:
Anyway, I'm so proud of Ighalo... 7 goals in 8 games is awesome!

Where are the doubters and haters??

You were one of them

Mickael2:
you are just showing limited knowledge.

first off, Lahm was never a stop gap option at LB, when he went on loan to Stuttgart he was converted to a LB and he became the best LB in the German league easily. played many many games as a LB for Germany as a LB too, and since Sagnol wasn't exactly terrible he was left there. Not that he was forced into the LB role, he was awesome there.


He did well not only for Bayern but also for Germany so there you go


Alves isn't even in the top three all time LA liga assists not sure where you read that exactly.

in 2010 Alves never played in midfield, he played as a winger and that was a ploy to keep Ronaldo quiet on the day, I watched that match very well. as a winger he was poor and the ball hardly went his side anyways but he did track Ronaldo very very well helping out Maxwell

This the last time I will talk about this, you said Lahm was not a stop gap LB but he did well there and played there many years while we know his a RB why are you contradicting your self, who said Lahm was forced, How?

how can you compare Lahm who spend most part of his career playing in left back to an Alves that have always been the first choice RB everywhere he play.

Bros just Messi, figo and Alves made up 100 assist, not just for barcelona, last season with juventus he had the highest assist in the team ans created the highest goal scoring chance in the champions league.

Bros if me, Fifa(Fifpro11) and statistics can not convince you then let's end it...thank you

Mickael2:
My bad for missing out on the Juve days, my bad really. So that's Ligue 1 and Italian league, oh Juve have won the last 5 Scudettos if I am not mistaking, that sums that league up too. Lahm did play in how many champions league finals?i can count three so I think he did very well too.


What business does Alaba and Lahm playing at RB have together? Lahm has always been at RB, seems you dodn't get the point. Bayern play a 4-3-3, in 2012 during the total football era they usually drafted into a 3-4-3, which means one of the fullbacks drops into a conventional 3 man backline and Lahm was usually the one dropping back(just like Abidal used to do at Barca) and Alaba was allowed to push forward and what do you know, Alaba scored loads of goals for a defender, probably what Lahm would have done if he was allowed to attack.


When you talk about assists to Messi I am left wondering if you think Lahm should have more assists to Messi or something. Azpilicueta has more assists to Moratta I believe, who cares?

Being a midfielder(a DMF, the most important there is) and playing as a fullback in a psuedo 4-3-3/3-4-3 formation is another thing. Alves has never played as a true midfielder and the only time he did, I think against Hercules some years ago he failed, when he played as a WF too he failed woefully, versatility isn't his thing at all.


Has Godin ever appeared in the FiFPro? That's all I can ask you.

when you discard players doing well in club like juventus and psg it shows level of hypocritic analysis, because Bayern is also having it all smooth in there league,

You ask what business those alaba has with Lahm playing RB, that shows you dont even really know Lahm as a player, he played most of his games in the LB position then Willy sagnol occupied that RB position, when Alaba came on board and sagnol retired, Lahm went back to his prefered RB position.

And yes when I talk about assist, is not just to messi, Alves having the second assist history in laliga just behind Lionel Messi, so he dish out assist not just to one player.

You lied again when you said Alves never did well in the midfield in the el classico 2010 in April he played there and Barcelona won in bernebeu..he also played there with Brazil.

In every sector there a body to validate the best, Oscar for movies, Grammy for music, Fifa for football, if he can be in the right back spot 7 times since 9 years ago that means Fifa is in line with me.

Danielnino00:
You have an unhidden hatred for the EPL...



The ligue1 is shite if u care to know... It used to be interesting when the likes of Marseille, Lille,Lyon,Montpellier,Saint Etienne, etc used to play good football... but since the Arabs took over PSG,they have reduced the league to rubbish.... ironically, PSG need 4 more league title to equal the all time winner record...


Thank the gods for Marseille who are playing some good football in the Europa league...

Can we say thesame about the bundesliga too?

Mickael2:
Toh, I am confusing you with Martz. I don't know how we got here, I only pointed out to you that Pele has won the Copa Libertadores and his league, that's all.

Baba any where anytime Alves is better than Lahm, appearing on FIFPRO 11 7times ahead of Lahm 2times is enough prove

kennysville:
Really? Correct me if I am wrong but he hasnt won the world cup has he?

Don't you know the meaning of the MOST decorated, it deals with numbers...he has more trophy in his name

Mickael2:
or maybe Lahm retired two decades ago because I know Dani Alves wakes up in the morning and prays to become half the player Lahm was

My problem with people here is, some folks just write anything that comes to there head, how can Alves pray to be like Lahm who never had a stake on the Right back in Bayern

Mickael2:
comfort zone?

Let's explore this very well then. Alves has only played in Spain and France, I mean no offence but is the Ligue 1 truly a league? It would be a comfort zone for any player, just ask Memphis Depay. So let's say the only tough job was in Spain. Then for Brazil what has he achieved in international football? 4th place without even featuring prominently.


Now we go to Lahm, I don't need to talk about his records in Germany, you can google them. Then for the German team I am sure he has made the semifinal of every major tournament he has played in since making his debut. Not to mention that he did leave his comfort zone to play as a DMF and was still outstanding in that position, so it's funny that you should use the 'comfort zone' against him.


I am not sure this argument has anything to do with his assists for Messi. At Barca he plays almost as a wingback and Busquets covers perfectly for him. At Bayern though Lahm hasn't had it well enough, they also recruit attack minded LBs like Alaba for example forcing Lahm to always drop into a back three to allow the LB attack and even in Germany he does the same, I am not sure you expect him to be giving assists from there like that.

Your wright up make me laugh, so you didn't watch Alves in italy with juventus or you choose not to see him even when he featured in the champions league final.

Alves has been consistent since his sevilla days and was highly sort after and even won trophies for sevilla, move to Barca and was one of the best players there.

You said my argument has nothing to do with his assist, really? so we should take that out??...beating iniesta and xavi to that ain't easy my brother.

You talk about Lahm playing in the midfield, if you really know Alves you will know he plays in the midfield too.

You analysis of bayern recruiting a left back and Lahm dropping to back three make me
understand how less you know about Lahm, when alaba came in he went back to RB which was his prefered position until PEP came and move him sometime to the midfield.

Lahm is a good RB but not compare to Alves, Alves has appeared in all FIFPPRO world 11 since 2009 except 2010 and 2011 and Lahm only appeared once, that should sum the argument.

NOTE: Alves is the most decorated footballer ever.

olu98:
because of one goal?lol
just saying tho

Not really, we only have one recognise striker in the team which is ighalo, adding him will give another option though i dont really like him but he has a chance

Mickael2:
Is Lahm a leftback?

what has lahm got to do with this,Lahm ain't better than Alves, Lahm stayed in his comfort zone all through, Alves moved to different leagues and was efficient...his been ever present in UEFA 11.

DO YOU KNOW, Alves has the highest assist for messi in laliga, ahead of iniesta and xavi

Mickael2:
defensively Maicon was way way better than Alves ever will be.

that's your opinion, me and BALE will doubt that

asha80:
i follow a brazillian national team handle @BrazilStat on twitter
that tweets in english so i see their comments when brazillian national team issues are discussed..maicon is actually srong defensively despite being attacking minded like many other brazillian fullbacks before him like carlos alberto,jorginho(this one was also strong defensively),josimar,branco and leanardo

Bros Alves is far better than maicon defensively, and in modern football Right back and Left back are always flying up there, and for the fans your saw talking him down is normal, even some fans in Argentina talk messi down

ChrisKels:
Coming from someone who called a 20 year old Awaziem an overhyped player despite his obvious young age. People dey sha oo

where is the hype, the dude is progressing well

asha80:
lol from their comments they are looking at the player's individual quality(defensive ones) not the silverware he won in any team

Which Brazilian people are looking at his defensive quality, that has been the way Brazilian groom left back and right back, check Cafu, Carlos, Marcelo and Macon.

Wing back support the attack and DM provide protection, Emerson and Gilberto silver was always doing that,and now they have fenadihno,Gustavo and pualihno

The world is even following there foot step now, go and watch champions league final between Madrid and juventus, watch laces and Marcelo focus more on there defensive part

asha80:
truth is he is actually defensively suspect

maybe you don't like him

andrew444:
I am not arguing I was surprised because I know he is fit but the way they are speaking I was surprised

hamstring injury always come back

asha80:
a lot of Brazilians actually do not rate Dani alves that much

he don't need Brazil to rate him when the world rates him high, is by far the best right back in the last decade

Humility017:
I tell you bro...
I am so happy kayode could rejuvenate his career.....

I will prefer the dude as a second choice striker at the world cup....moreover he is someone that can play from the wings too....

I think only one spot is remaining in the worldcup sqaud, kayode, fit Joel obi and fit Oyekuru is leading the way for it.

maybe kayode will get that spot eventually

andrew444:
If they offer him so be it na,maybe his mind is not in naija,will he miss the World Cup ?

I think he will make the worldcup

kentebemoney:
Where i compare them?
Ogu is a type of dembele player.
Both are left footed good with short passes.

There is more to dembele than the short pass, his very skilful, his body balance is great and make some too direct run...dont forget he started out as a striker

andrew444:
See as men dem dey discuss ebuehi injury like say na Daniel Alves, we don't have much players sha

Bro that injury can cause many thing in future, Holland are building a team and might offer Ebuehi an invite if he don't make it to world cup

Mickael2:
seems you hardly watch Atleti games, that's how they cover all the time, they weren't scared at all just their normal game.

out of curiosity though are you saying that Iwobi would have been able to dribble all three players at once? I am sure Welbeck is kinda fast too, he showed that against Chelsea in last season's FA cup final and Iwobi is definetly not the fastest guy around either

You guys keep talking about iwobi coming in for welbeck, arsen wenger line up was very cautions and should have brought iwobi for wishere, iwobi is more attacking than wishere

Danielnino00:
This Rohr self... Against Algeria last year,he could have played Ebuehi instead of Shehu so we could officially cap him...
Against Serbia,he could have allowed Ebuehi rest and play Aina at RB. it would have given us the opportunity to see how Aina will fare at RB....

I'm yet to understand I swear

Icon79:
Say what
John Ogu gives good passes? Was that meant as a joke

O pari

Ogu passes ain't bad

Icon79:
So many of us stated that fact ... he only had to play the game due to Shehu's injury, but the NL naysayers kept bashing him and tried to write him off


O pari

Really I don't still understand why he played the game if not fit when Aina was on the bench

tbaba1234:
About Ezenwa's last performance against Go Round, Journalist Ufuoma Egbanumo writes:

"If Gernort Rohr is watching this, don't know how confident he will be with our keepers, First Ezenwa comes to punch a cross, misses it and Go Round score a legitimate goal that officials rule out for a non existent offside. Then minutes later, Ezenwa attempts to chip a Go Round with little pressure on him and almost gifts Go Round another goal."

Ezenwa is keeper without confidence

Humility017:
please let's go back a little...too much of speed is not good.

don't tell me you're getting angry...over these small argument...

we have not even started.....hopefully by weekend...we will both revisit this matter...

Lol nah I'm not angry, just that is difficult to make you understand my stand, from a sincere angle I have never seen Moses score any free kick but for an experience coach like Rohr to give him such duty then his doing something right in training.

Moreover his free kick are not that bad, always close, and for a team to be in order you need to assign the duty to one person if not what happened to Neymar and cavani will happen

Humility017:
and why haven't Moses score any?
nancho obviously scored that goal....thriving on his ability to always shoot with precision and accuracy.
I can bet he never practised that...he has it in him.

unlike Moses who has played more than 10 of such dead balls but scored none

Don't drag me back to this again, please

Icon4s:
It is not automatic bro. His relative lack of development may have also affected that aspect of his game.

Yea you might be right, I really wish that guy develop properly
