Denmark have been the most impressive team thus far in qualification. They are playing some excellent attacking football and are yet to concede a goal. Absolute top quality passing and shooting from Delaney, Wass and others. I would even go as far as putting them as favourites for the World Cup. This may be far fetched but I personally found them to be the best team in the tournament after Italy. Only time will tell but things are looking up for them.

I have always liked Denmark, Norgard, Damsgaard, Maehle they are a good team to watch everytime

minfelix:
After game day 2 of the qualifiers the following top their groups
Top 5
Senegal 1
Tunisia 2
Algeria 3
Nigeria 4
Civ 5

Bottom 5
Mali 6
SA 7
G/bissau 8
Libya 9
Tanzania 10
If these happened to be the last matches who do fancy we face in the knockout

Too early Sir.
I see likes of Egypt, Ghana and Morocco coming back to claim top spots in their groups.

Same way he hates osimhen, ndidi and co...abi those ones b afghan bred

Thanks for giving him this sweet reply

Danielnino00:


Forget what happens in camp boss...What happens on the pitch is what matters... Nobody can say it with his full chest that Okoye has proven to be better than Uzoho or Akpeyi... Uzoho won his shirt in the super eagles in a fair manner when Akpeyi was messing up... Uzoho lost his shirt due to an injury and Rohr didn't do the right thing by giving him the chance to win it back.He has dashed it to Okoye..

Okoye sure looks like one that can improve,but as at now, he hasn't done anything to justify getting the no.1 spot... I particularly don't like the fact that Rohr is making him too comfortable in that role by starting him in every game...

Well said bro

edi287:
Good win. Totally missed the game. How did Ejuke perform?
Rohr fielded the midfield many here predicted he would. Surprised he didn't go with a back 3 tbh.
3 points in the bag and that's all that matters.

He has pace to burn and some tricks up his sleeves however I am really concerned about his end product. His defending make sense

Danielnino00:


You are being unnecessarily sentimental.. Nobody has said they prefer Uzoho to Okoye because of their looks, the same way nobody is saying they prefer Omeruo and Awazeim partnership to Ekong and Balogun's because of their looks...
Okoye simply hasn't done enough to justify him being the number 1 ahead of Uzoho and even Akpeyi.. He doesn't inspire enough confidence in the team..

Maduka is better than Uzoho even with the ball on his fit.

No reasonable coach will drop a goalkeeper playing constantly in the Dutch league and emerged as one of the best last season for one in an obscure league

Rohr sees both in close quarters in training so I believe he has his reasons for sticking with maduka

Small time una go say na because him na oyibo born

Yes, it was a long time ago but they actually did beat Portugal in a friendly game.

O pari

Wow. No Ronaldo right?

BascoVanVeli:
.

Ummm that also sounds like Leon Balogun

Don't think. Leon Balogun likes coming upfront too. My point is, Awaziem impresses the more as a SB rather than a CB.

Dunno who will help with stats for our last 4 SE GKs with respect to the defenders in front of them as well.


Uzoho
Akpeyi
Ezenwa
Maduka

I think it might be quite helpful.

But i wont lie, the league Uzoho is in ehn, its ruining his chances. If he can go to Israel and do a few good seasons like Enyeama, it just might restore order. For now, the trust is on Maduka.


I personally would prefer Uzoho. He's impressed me so far.

no need for stats, maduka's heroics n performance last season in Holland is a testament to how much he has improved and how better he will get in the future after just a season of top flight football

I bet you guys that in the next few seasons to come Maduka will be among top 3 African goalies in Europe

Sportilitica:

His end product?

Of all the wingers we have, only Onyekuru has a better end product.

JohnBullMySon:
I have watched both Uzoho and Maduka and I'm sure that only Maduka is close to being a reliable goalkeeper in that squad. But Nigerians judge outward appearance a lot. Maduka looks boyish and incapable not like Uzoho who looks like a strong and confident person, so they consciously or unconsciously begin to scrutinize his moves a lot.

The team has a coach, assistant coach, and goalkeeper trainer, if Maduka had serious tactical problems, will he still be the no 1 presently?

you re on point bro

Just catching cruise bro I said if it happens to be last games...now to the remaining games, bro u see that Libya, there is no way they will allow Egypt over take them again na so them go play am till qualifiers end.
Then to Ghana group, don't underestimate an SA group lead ooo those guys can frustrate Giants and remain at the top the group, Ghana has jus shot themselves on d foot by allowing SA beat them, because SA coached by Hugo broos(Afcon winning coach 2017) will lock up at that top spot.
As for morrocco it's a 50-50 chance with them and Guinea ooo

I remember this game very well....it destroyed A LOT of accumulators back then

Till then, Uzoho needs to be starting ahead of him in the Super Eagles.

We'd still need it. The deduction will help the comparism in National colors. It definitely will.

Maduka definitely has proved himself in the Club level.

I know he will be up there soon. His current GWG numbers just don't cut it currently. But i know he'd be in the Qatar bound squad!

Highlights of the match. Had to put it on insta to avoid copyright wahala.

Forget that one bros.
Okoye looks like someone that will concede 5 goals if faced with 6 shots on targets.

Na like Akpeyi jare.

Bros chill
If you be or done coach or dey close to a football team, u go understand wetin i dey talk.
You make ur judgement based on Uzoho u knw b4, how about the uzoho of now.
The first goal CVerde scored, he adjusted to cover the 2nd post(incase of a curler) but the goal scorer was smart (give it to the guy).

Club and national team performance aren't the same thing oga...Some players perform well at club level but not so in the national team and vice versa. Iwobi for instance is mostly average at club level,but always churn up top class performance in the national team....

You just can't come up with any evidence that Okoye has been better than Uzoho in the national team,because there's none...

On a more serious note, Osimhen pace and ability to drift wide is a huge asset for the team.. With more flexible wingers like Chukwueze, Onyekuru, Kalu and Ejuke,our attack would he really lethal..
Simon and Musa aren't mobile enough in my opinion...

Please who knows Nff or Nigeria sport ministry, please beg them, we just need one perfect stadium, one we can call home, or a fortress, it's a disservice to the players and Nigerians, the poor standards of stadiums we play in, it's insulting and shows lack of regard.

We cannot call ourselves a footballing nation with all this abysmal standards of stadiums we have, it will be an injustice to proper systems for Nigeria to get to even quarter finals of the world cup, if we can't even have a world class stadium, I am not even going far to mention sport complex, you keep booking for hotels, which cost more and more, instead of having a proper sport complex with rooms and serenity for players to harmonise even off the pitch, you keep taking them from hotel to hotel, such instability doesn't deserve any success, it's just what it is.

I am really gutted, because this football can be a tool for rebuilding unity and nationalism amongst Nigerians, everyone forgets they are hausa, igbo or yoruba for 90mins, imagine Nigeria winning a world cup, imagine how less tense the political atmosphere would be for a while. It's a shame.

Ejuke has won my heart. What a beautiful first half.

Defensively, Simon is the best of the lot. Ejuke also did his defensive duties well yesterday. Without those less than glamorous efforts the team balance would not be there and thats when the wahala will start. Sure bring on Chukwueze, Kalu etc when we are bossing games and are going to be on the front foot for long periods but in away games and when the midfield is not sure to boss the game Simon PLAYS!!

Every goal keepers no. 1 nightmare is being beaten at their near post. There are no excuses that wash for that one. Just like when you hit a car from behind, 99.9% of excuses wont be accepted.

Did you actually mean it or just a Mistake? Same Collin that had good Games in both Matches?

Ejuke had more supplies of the ball in the first half than in the second.

Can you cite instances of the bolded.

Sorry I don't understand your comment. If you read my full post I was also commending Collins that his time in the national team is not yet up.

Thank You

“Far from up”

Chief, Okoye has the potential to be an excellent goalie but for now he's not at the level we need from someone who will prosecute crucial tournaments and qualifiers. Uzoho is no Donnaruma or Allison but he tries to do most of the basics. In the crucial games I've seen Francis play he is always making vital saves but with Maduka it's like most shots on target tend to get in.
