forgiveness:


That's not even our first eleven. My only problem with our team now is lack of wingers.

It seems Musa and Victor will start on the wings or Etebo and Victor on the wings.

Pervaventure, Victor needs a rest who can influence the game like him?

I want the coach to try Iwobi in the first half against England.

Let us see how we play.

The back is ok with Ebuehi, Echiejile, Balogun and Troost.

I don't still trust Brian until I see him against English and Czechs team.

Echiejile will be ran all over by the pacy English forwards, I doubt he can hold his own in such a serious friendly.

Croatia coach comments on our friendly match with Dr Congo

''There was a mixed team, Simon Moses was injured. They are terribly strong out of the box, in the launching of the attack, fast, but their weak point is the defense phase. We'll see what we can do about it,'' Dalic said to Sportske Novosti.

''Surely they are not better than us, in any case, we just have to prepare well.''

''We will score a goal, but we must be very careful and keep the defensive shape. The Nigerians are dangerous from the position and punish you if you are weakly closed and go away with a lot of players ahead,'' he concluded.

A new rule by FIFA will allow for the punishment of a player guilty of violent conduct during a game even if the referee misses it.

This hugely significant rule will work alongside VAR (Video Assistant Referee)during World Cup.

The rule states that even if the game has restarted the referee can later be made aware of the offense and then he can stop the game before reviewing the offense and deciding on dismissal.

This rule also allows for the issuance of red cards during the half-time period. The current rule states that once the game has restarted such incidents cannot be dealt with.

Another rule states that any player or substitute who gestures with his hands for a VAR review or enters the referee's review area will receive a yellow card.

Coaches guilty of the same offense will be issued with a public warning.

Let's be honest, Real Madrid can win and have always won without CR7 (this last UCL semi finals and the finals proved that; plus the Euro cup finals). Can either Barca or Argentina win without Leo Messi? Please be sincere in your answer


O pari

Wowu, So The matches Barcelona lost in the past with Messi playing with them was lost in the spiritual realm? Or the Friendly Argentina won against Italy recently and the previous World Cup glory days were championed with Messi?


Na you talk say he "Messi needs support" na na you still talk say "Messi is the Greatest"


Argentina will do well only when Messi retires, e go be like film.

Icon79:
Well those other "Greatestses" had something Leo Messi never had with Argentina - that is, a strong supporting cast. And you gotta ask yourself why.

Aguero is a world class player at ManCity but he never plays well for Argentina. Why?
Higuin always goes missing in big games. Why??
Angel Di Maria always gets injured before the crucial games in every tournament. Why

Messi can't do it all by himself. No one can. It's a team sport and takes 11 players.


O pari

Wowu, So it is actually a team work but you won't stop giving him all the Accolades for the effort of his other team mates? While reminding us How CR7 has Ramos and Marcello to help him win matches. No world cup trophy for Messi, the World doesn't owe him Pin

Icon79:
Haha!! The World owes Messi a World Cup triumph. It's just fair that the GREATEST player, in history, to ever play the game should win the biggest trophy of them all - the World Cup, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen


O pari

The Greatest (according to you) shouldn't wait for the world to serve him a World Cup trophy on his dinner table. He walk the aisle of glory like a boss and lift the trophy.

A Greatest that cannot do what Greatestses (if you like use that inglish at your own peril) has done in the past is that one the Greatest?

Lakosa wasn't meant to be at the World Cup at this stage. His invite was cover up to please NPFL Fans.

If this were to be Facebook , I for don censor posts from Forgiveness since last year but is quite unfortunate that I don't have that privilege on Nairaland.


How can one average player omission from the World Cup list be so much important than the team Itself?
What Forgiveness is doing is Annoying, I wish I can control what I want to see on this thread.

And Moses Simon dropped confirmed!

He still got to be scanned in England

I'm at home reporting from asaba

How is the City of Asaba? Any sign compliance?

Icon79:
Please can somebody explain to me what's going on in Jorge Sampaoli's head? Are you guys aware that the only two friendly matches Argentina would play before the World Cup are against Haiti and Israel? Tell me what he intends to gain from those two useless matches?! And this is a team that hope to beat the likes of Brazil, Germany, France, etc. to the World Cup.

These folks are just wasting Messi's time and talent


O pari

Why are you bothering yourself over Argentines National team? Are you an Argentine?


Oops, I forgot you are a Messi fan

Martz101:


True, i just wish simon is decleared fit, both joel and agu go just sitdown for house

I tells you my brother, both of them are just a waste of slot.

Humility017:


Aina shoot himself in the foot ..with that foul on Congolese player... the tackle wasn't necessary or would respond much earlier...prior the player cuts in moreover it was outside the box and not a penalty....

besides that mistake...he played well and better than elderson.....
hope rohr drop elderson....

Me too, I personally don't want to see Ederson in Russia. If Rohr picks Ederson, he has my support still

tbaba1234:
Confirmed!!!!!

Dele Ajiboye
Stephen Eze
Uche Agbo
Daddy Moses Simon
Junior Lokosa.

Dropped...

No surprises!!

2 to go..

Not bad choice, I really feel pity for Moses Simon now. He is so unlucky. BTW, if we should go by this, it means that either of Agu /Joel and either of Ederson/Aina is going to be dropped.

safarigirl:
really? You couldn't find another term? His Head game? LMAO

If you know, you know

Na you know wetin you dey talk, I don talk my own

tbaba1234:

Simy is Damn tall, I just hope he is good and effective with his head game. Apart from Iheanacho, I don't remember any other person in our team with good headers.

tbaba1234:
Chidozie Awaziem limped off training today. Hopefully not a serious knock.

He had an ice pack on his leg.

What is going on in the camp? Our players just dey wound themselves. I am not understanding

Croatia's coach thinks that we are their toughest opponents.

“The first match against Nigeria will be the key to our group. We are playing against an African team. They have a German coach that has changed the style of their game and has introduced a lot of young players in the national team who are young, hungry and ambitious and that’s their advantage. This is going to be the toughest game for us,” Zlatko Dalic stated

Dotng:


We heard worse before Atlanta Olympics. History has a way of putting you guys in your proper place. You are incurable pessimist.

I like you already, You are passionate about the Eagles

Supersport Facebook page

isan:

Which page is that? They do this often, that is their own way of telling us that they hate our guts.

CORRECT VERSION OF WHAT HAPPENED

op stephenduru take note


The truck knocked down a pregnant woman and killed her instantly, the angry youths used matchet to kill the driver and set the truck ablaze. The truck was empty.

From the pictures posted, it is the dead driver tat you see lying down beside some part of the pregnant woman he hit.

The man is the Driver's conductor

calddon:
This is really bad, the story is not complete but from the ops pictures i guess its an accident involving one of these popular cement company trucks and it was set on fire by people around in anger.

I could be wrong though.


With satan we are nothing
Without Jehovah, we are nothing.

You are right, The driver escaped though

This happened on Tuesday, I saw the woman there lying livelessly. The Driver was about to be lynched by the irate mobs but the Nigerian arm force personnels consisting of the Navy, Army and the police came to the Dangote 's driver aid. Then chased everybody around the scene away. Blocked one lane.


If Dangote was Ibeto or Emzor, he would have been slammed with a heavy sanction.

In the other news, Rohr no wan See Russian runs girls near his players.

Responding to questions at Friday’s media briefing in Uyo, Rorh claims there is no harm in allowing the players’ family to visit them after games.
He said: “Yes, the players can have their wives and family come to visit them at the World Cup. Each player will have a room to himself so the family can come on days when we are not preparing for games or on matchdays.
“However, I won’t allow them to have Russian girls, no, no, no. Only captain Mikel who has a Russian partner can come with her.”

columbus007:
