SA VS Spain, I was disappointed not seeing Stuart between the poles, I'm switching stations right away.

BascoVanVeli:
So the Ada babe from Norway is not playing at the world cup after all?

Afobear:
Tarrh !!! Keep mute ...we will make it out the group and still beat your chickens if we catch them !!!

M7even:
If only Nigeria under 20 flying eagles had defeated Senegal. We would have have three national teams playing today. Together with the super eagles and super Falcons.

BascoVanVeli:
Coming to think of it Desire Oparanozie was the first player to publicly condemn the NFF for the team not playing games in a year. That shows she is a true leader not just on the team but in life

Prectega:
What do u guys think

khunz:
A Ghana sport analyst on a live sport discussion program on Tv3 Ghana ,just said emphatically that they have the best mid-field going to AFCON and for Nigeria apart from Ndidi, we only have Mikel ,who doesn't have legs again!

Time will tell!!!

Earthquake2:
For his club or for the GWG?

Earthquake2:
Brighton not releasing Balogun maybe they have plans for him

forgiveness:
Rohr has confirmed that one striker will be dropped. The other player could be a defender.

Super Eagles 3-5-2 Formation : Rohr Planning To Deploy Kalu, Simon As Wing-Backs In 2019 AFCON

Super Eagles 3-5-2 Formation : Rohr Planning To Deploy Kalu, Simon As Wing-Backs In 2019 AFCON
Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has hinted that Levante's Moses Simon and Bordeaux's Samuel Kalu will be deployed as left and right wing-backs respectively at the Africa Cup of Nations, if he goes with a 3-5-2 formation.

Simon was regularly deployed as a wing-back last season by Levante coach Paco López and Kalu was used as a makeshift right wing-back in the Super Eagles 1-1 draw against South Africa last November.

''We have them (strikers) but we have to drop one of them. Don't forget that we have wingers who can play as fullbacks like we did against South Africa with Kalu who was on the right side, right fullback and a winger the same time,'' Rohr said at Thursday's press conference attended by allnigeriasoccer.com.

''When we play 3-5-2 like we did against Iceland at the World Cup or we did in South Africa, there's also a possibility for Simon Moses to play like he did in his club, on the left side, so we have full backs which is also very good to know tactically.

''And then we have three strikers, Ighalo the goalscorer, we have Osimhen who did well with his club and is one for the future and we have one tall one.

''It is good for me but it is sometimes difficult for me to choose players. But I'm happy to have this good quality, so let's go with offensive spirit to the AFCON because we want to win our games.''

Apart from Kalu and Simon, the other wingers named to Nigeria's provisional roster are Ahmed Musa, Henry Onyekuru, Samuel Chukwueze and the versatile Arsenal star Alex Iwobi.

Earthquake2:
How do you know

Danielnino00:
....

Earthquake2:
He's not even 4th choice, he's 5th choice behind Ajayi

Earthquake2:
He's the fourth choice center back unfortunately

Earthquake2:
Ajayi makes up for our lean midfield, Shehu is Rohr's 1st or 2nd choice RB

The only person surplus to requirements is Awaziem

fabyom:
There you have it guys.
Rohr will definitely drop Iheanacho (Confirmed) and a defender.
From the look of things, it's either Semilore Ajayi/Shehu to be dropped!
Also expect an attacking 3-5-2 formation. With Kalu and Simon on both wings. Omeruo, Ekong/Awaziem, Balogun/Ogu at the back.
A midfield of Mikel, Ndidi and Iwobi will withstand any midfield on the African continent!

OMANBALA1:
Iwobi has been played in that position on numerous times both club side and in the national team,yet he has not stamped his feet. We will never know what Simon can do until he is played in that position.

OMANBALA1:
You are crazy....Most people think I have no emotion. 90% of the people on this thread know Iwobi has not solve our midfielder problems. EOD.

A lot has been said about the playing career of Asisat Oshoala. Armed with a rich C.V that boasts of three Africa female player awards, one World Cup appearances and one of Africa’s bestgoal scorer in the women’s game, She's Often considered one of the best player in the world and widely regarded as one of the greatest female players to come out of Africa, Oshoala who is 24 years old is getting hotter and hotter. Playing in her Second World Cup final, Oshoala would be the rallying point for the Falcons in their quest to surpass their quarter final ticket.
A versatile striker , Oshoala is capable of playing on either wing as well as through the centre of the pitch, and, while ostensibly right-footed. She ranks among the world's fastest footballers, both with and without the ball.
She Isn't a typical centre-forward" as she likes to drop deep or go wide in order to find space, Oshoala has fast pace and excellent technique, and few defenders could keep up with her.

Her creativity is exceptional when in possession of the ball. During a counterattack she is a big threat, because of her intelligent runs.

Oshoala is regarded as African's most successful female footballer and she will be aiming to help Nigeria go past the group stage for the first time in five outings at the 2019 Women's World Cup, which takes place from June 7 - July 7.

Strengths — Good speed, deadly in front of goal and full of energy, Confident, Inspirational, ability to score goals at ease.

Weaknesses —Could be selfish with the ball, and tends to go solo

sontoly:
I think onuachu for Iheanacho, even if it is to stay on. The bench, think Awaziem just had game time after moving to rizespor, and for Ajayi he seems not to be used in preferred position, so he is a makeshift mildfielder that position is choked that makes him dispensable.

Ighalo will be dropped in your dream

A brother wants to see how pretty she looks
