Victor Moses should see what star players do and humble himself

Gernot Rohr was right, super Eagles have no world class players. We have no Ronaldo

All our players should get their heads down and battle for the team

Buhari is one of the thieves

I dreamt last night of missing the Nigeria vs Croatia game but I was scrambling on YouTube for the replay of this game because Nigeria had shocked Croatia and beat them while claiming all 3 points. I don’t know the score line though I think it was slim

This is not a co-incidence

It is Icelandic tradition for a child to add son at the end of his father’s first name to create his surname

If my first name is Michael and I give birth to a son called John, his name becomes John Michaelson

If Nigeria play 3-5-2 I hope Rohr is brave to use Victor Moses as Left Wing back and Ebuehi as Right Wing Back

The team is lacking width that’s why we struggle to score

Rochas2023:
Hate him or love him Rocha's remains best placed candidate of Igbo extraction in APC, from what I'm seeing is either you chose Rocha's or lose out to the Yorubas in APC come 2023

We need to keep our options open both in APC and PDP.

If this is the choice available then let a Yoruba man be President come 2023

You forgot that it is a summer of discontent and political hopelessness is Nigeria

Our best years in football in the late 80s and 90s came during military dictatorship and football gave the country a reason to smile

As Buhari’s dictatorial leadership style bites in Nigeria and Nigerians are discontent with our political leadership I believe that once again our dear super eagles will give us a reason to celebrate in Russia

Unfortunately the case will fall flat

They should rather get the court to compel the FG to proscribe the act of moving cattles from town to town and outside of a farm owners’ ranch

The act is what needs to be proscribed not Fulani herdsmen

Stay back in Russia and do what?

You won’t get job as an African there

Like this

We need to stand up tall and say we are Africans and this is our culture

With this confidence in our own self and belief in our self worth sooner or later we can win the World Cup

It takes organisation and togetherness and a squad focused on group than individual to think of this kind of attire, make it and all humbly wear it on the day

Expect the Saudis to dress as oil sheiks in the next World Cup

This is a ridiculous bill

How did this pass through senate without notice

It’s against the rights of the sitting Vice President to vote and be voted for

If we are limiting number of terms that is ok but to say he can not contest at all is nonsense

Well this already happens

A club buys a player and loan him straight out is almost as good as moving twice in one transfer window

While I don’t believe any rule stops outright sale after purchase I don’t think I can see any club doing this because it will put to question their judgement to buy the player in the first place

Uruguay players do anything to win a match

Expect so much shoulder to shoulder challenge against Salah, they will be doing it knowing it is within the rules but testing to see if he is well or not and try to agravate it!

If Salah is not well he should not put his whole football future at risk, nothing Salah can do to guarantee Egypt win the World Cup

Omeruo experience from Middlesbrough could help, long ball defending is what they do in English championships. Also Conner kicks

I really don’t know why Leon Balogun starts ahead of Omeruo

Paperwhite:
Ask Major.Bamidele that Buhari got him detained & punished for daring to mentioned to him of detecting the coup.Check "SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE(By Max Siollun)

Don’t mind them

I hope this is not true

Onazi may be down at the moment but he was our best midfielder at the last World Cup and played well at the qualifiers

Even if he is not good enough to start he should be showed some respect and any changes can be made after the World Cup

Otedollaryen:
I am tempted to call you a fool.

Intact iwobi is the only player that has the will to win. Who knows maybe you are one of the Allahmajiris Ahmed Musa always give free food.

Oh no wonder

When next you see your mother ask her why she refused to give you some home training

FreeSpirited:
You no get sense, mumu. Iwobi's time will come ?.... Bunch of mediocre you are. Look at winning teams, dont you see 20 21, 22 year old ? You prefer old recycled tired player ?
Ode. Iwobi is one of our best player in this tournament, if we fail to deploy him well, it will be to our risk. iwobis time will come when hes 40...typical naija mentality not believing in their vibrant youth. Mbappe, Rachford, Dembele, et al, will be playing active role in their country, Mario gotze scored 2014 world cup winning goal, he was just 22 or less. Ode

So you can’t make a point without insulting others?

How does this change the price of one cup of garri in the market?

Mathematical:


Valid point.. But he's one of Super eagles playmaker..

Ozil defense rate is zero but he's work rate in the final third is top notch..

Ozil plays for Germany where they control games and possess the ball for extended periods

Nigeria will not outpass most teams so we need all our players awake to their defensive duties

Musa gives more to our style of play than Iwobi. Musa brings pace energy and ability to shoot and score. Plus he is also willing to mark the ball

Iwobi’s time will come, he is still a daddy boy who lacks the will to win!

If Etebo, Musa, Ebuehi and Ndidi do not start then forget our chances against Croatia

Mathematical:


Why would you bench IWOBI ?

Ahmed Musa can come in as a sub to charge the opponent defence..

Ogu out?

Emeruo ?


Well na opinion sha

Iwobi is useless without the ball, he does not mark the opponents when they have the ball

Does not work hard enough for me

Good line up and good idea but in a real match John Ogu will be beaten for pace. We need to be solid in defence

Rohr should show more faith in Omeruo he is our most experience defender when you consider he played in last World Cup and won the Nation’s cup

Victor Moses will do a better job in LWB than Idowu

Ahmed Musa pace is required upfront

Just this week he has denied knowledge of Lao Mohammed’s reply to Obasanjo

Just as he will deny knowledge of all the crimes being committed by Ibrahim Idris IGP in Buhari name

Watch come 2019 IGP Idris will lead Buhari rigging while Buhari pretends not to know about it

Denial and pledging ignorance is Buhari’s tried and tested tactics

slimfit1:
Trust your conscience the guy cannot plan a successful coup trust me it requires proper calculation it was Tunde's job.

A General that cant protect himself not to talk of country aba man you too do the thinking. He was told that he was going to be overthrown yet he did nothing so don't give him the credit. You see the rest of the soldiers at the top then were thieves thats why Tunde ignored them.

Buhari always gets others to do his dirty job while he pretends to be a saint

Buhari is obviously a dullard but he is a very very corrupt dullard

He was part of the coup and knew he will emerge military head

The likes of the bbc are not buying the myth

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-africa-11405111/nigeria-s-military-coup-of-1983

Buhari led the coup!

lonecatt:
ogbeni just listen to yourself
you have made this statement just for the fun of sounding foolish .

he was the beneficiary and not the major principal to an evil action as much as a coup against a democratically elected government and he comfortably accepted it. your brain don rust

That is the greatest lie and myth ever told

The idea that Buhari knew nothing about that coup is the biggest lie in the history of Nigeria

It’s like a bunch of bank robbers robbing a bank and depositing all of the proceeds to a third party who knows nothing whatsoever about it

Abaribe was right, December 31 is Democracy Destruction Day, at least it will go down in history as a comment on Senate pleannary and will be remembered by Nigerians

With right players and formation we will beat Croatia. 3-5-2 is our best formation.

But Rohr is behaving like he does not know his best players

We need To play the Croatia match like a World Cup final, if we don’t beat Croatia our World Cup is over

We need The below players in the starting line up

Etebo - energy and drive in midfield. Box-to-box
Ndidi - For his energy and destructive ability
Musa - we need his pace in the starting line up
Ebuehi - He offers a lot going forward
Omeruo - we need his experience in defence
Moses - LWB in a 3-5-2 system, the time for arrogance is over

Iwobi should start from the bench because he offers nothing defensively and in terms of winning the ball back. We need all our players marking the ball in the World Cup

What did Omeruo do to Gernot Rohr that the man swore Omeruo will never start

John Ogu is not a defender and will be beaten for pace in a real match

Omeruo can pass the ball so not sure why he is not starting games

I will keep praying that you return to Daura in 2019

Nigeria must move forward in 2019

Too much faith on Iwobi

The guy no dey mark ball, he does not have that will to win that makes a footballer fight for every ball

Iwobi will be great in 4 years but he is not ready yet.

I love you so much Abaribe. Abaribe drew parallels between June 12 and December 31 on the floor of the senate

While we all celebrate Moshood Abiola for his achievement ; I just want to remind everyone that June 12 was not an exclusive event that fell from the sky

Something led to June 12

This administration is choosing to engage in “Selective Historical Symbolism”

The story of June 12 1993 started in December 31 1983. If Buhari and his cronies did not truncate democracy and oust Shagari may be there will be no June 12.

So if Buhari want to reflect on our history he should start by apologising for that 1983 coup de tat.

And for our brothers in South West this move by the Presidency is not about you. It is about Buhari. He wants to gin up votes for himself in Yoruba land while also reminding us of IBB’s failaure.

The problem is Buhari has no moral right to reflect on our past history of democracy if he will not apologise for his role in 1983!
