Yup. Their soccer pitches are definitely up to standard unlike most African countries. I just can’t understand why other African countries, besides Morocco and South Africa, can’t maintain a good soccer pitch.

Anyway, the boys have no excuse not to win on Saturday.


O pari

Is because the people that are supposed to be cutting the grass with cutlass or lawn mower have all left for greener pastures abroad, for example the two of you currently discussing

Ppogbae:
I stand corrected. Still a tough task nonetheless

yeah still a tough task but s.a I saw tonight is not good enough. I even prefer them to qualify.

Softwareguy21:
even 1 nil is enough because fifa make use of goal difference then total goal before head to head

Our Ghanian bredas, please position your calculators for permutations. Hoping Nigeria won't get to that stage ooo

elyte89:
Ghana will beat s.a @ home..na dere u go c Ghana vein stand..all dey need is just 2 unreplied goals and dey re good to go..

How many goals does Ghana needs to score ?

even 1 nill, Ghana will be in the same goal difference with s.a and with greater total goal scored. S.A f@k up this night sha. They could've made it 2-0

Never mind

So two Nigerian born players are playing for Ireland: Ogbene and Idah.

Bazunu, their keeper too. Just 19. Man City youth keeper.

3 actually made the list.
The list includes Iheancho also and I believe so well that comes the end of this season, players like Awoniyi and maybe Ejuke will be added to this list and next season, Maduka and Onyeka might join also

@ d bolded
Bro Ejuke no follow for this list at all ohh.
All those wingers are elite and have proven themselves over the years am tipping chuks for a spot though.

S/A are one of the best teams in Africa when it comes to frustrating the big guns.

I see the game ending 1:1, S/A to qualify.

Awoniyi is not good enough at the moment to be in that list.

Ejuke needs to move to a bigger league where he can become a Saint-Maximin (who was at Nice some years back dribbling as he is now but no one knew him then because Ligue 1). Same with Moffi.

I personally rate Sadiq higher than all our strikers except Osimhen. He showed his quality right from the Olympics at 19. I have a feeling that he will be the next Nigerian attacker to make a big money move. Guy is pace + finishing + football sense combined into a large frame. If he can work on using his strength well, he could be a young Ibrahimovic.

Dem suppose fit nack sa

Ppogbae:


Two of our players are in the starting position

Let's be honest.

If this was down to fans and judges, no Nigerian will make the starting eleven.

Our team hasn't been inspiring and its affecting the profile of our players in Africa

Not hating...I love Osimhen but do other Africans rate him highly?

Danielnino00:
What the hell are you talking about?
Which bench will it be hard to make??

There's 3 Nigerian players on that list...

Bros, do other Africans rate our guys as high as we do?

Left to me, Ndidi and Osimhen will start comfortably

However, no Nigerian would make CAF MVP top ten because Nigerian players are not that highly rated in Africa

do4luv14:
yet 2 of our players make the list, and in no 1, of their positions,

Hmm...

Do you think if CAF releases their list for most valuable African players...a Nigerian would make top 10?

Just asking

I didn't say Awoniyi deserve to be in the list right now, that's why maybe at the end of yhr season and he can be in the list at the end of the season if he scores up to 25-30 goals in all competition this season... He has scored more than 10 already if I am not mistaken

Yeah, I also rate Sadiq and Moffi very high but right now I am worried about Moffi because he doesn't score anymore, if I am not mistaken he hasn't scored in his last 5 league games of more

You must be suffering from malaria to think Osimhen and ndidi won’t make the current African 11. Oloshi buruku werey

Yeah, Ndidi will so make the list and if Osimhen continues the way he has started this season, Osimhen will make Caf top 3 list at the end of the season. Can you move ahead with your negativity about Nigeria and Nigerian players now?

I think I have to agree with you but that doesn't mean Ejuke isn't a very good talent

do4luv14:
bro he is not worth it, let him be,

how you see this weekend match na

I have stopped expecting anything from the SE because of Rohr and his defensive tactics.
So for me right now about the SE, whatever they like they should do.
Na only my data make I go use watch the match tomorrow I they pity for

Anumanu will pick gueye ahead of present ndidi? Ndidi is even worth twice gueye price on transfermarket. Aubemeyang is an African legend, but on current form Osimhen is better. Remember, the argument is “current form 11”

solonnachi:

2 goals ouch
S/A will catch them on the counter
Except Ghanaian fans invade that stadium will full frightening support ; 2 nil gets the job done if S/A doesn’t get a goal

See, left for me, Ndidi is one of the best if not the best 4 in the world

However, you guys ought to know CAF by now

Remember how Etoo aleays won it over JJ and Kanoute even in seasons were they were both better>

CAF will always look to antecedents and past gliry when compiling that list

Forget that twitter post. They don't want Nigerians to wahala them. Hence their attempt at inclusion...lolll

Liberia vs Nigeria: Why Ighalo Should Start Ahead Of Osimhen On Saturday.
Praizz

Former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo was called up to the Super Eagles for their last two World Cup qualifying games against Liberian and Cape Verde.

The 32-year-old striker announced his retirement from the National team after the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt where he was awarded the Golden Boot after scoring 5 goals in 7 games for the Super Eagles.

However, the former Premier League striker is currently plying his trade with Saudi Arabia club Al Shabab, and he has already scored 9 goals in 11 games for them so far this season.

Nevertheless, Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen stepped up and secured the number 9 spot in the Super Eagles team following Ighalo's retirement, and he has been doing extremely well in that position. And due to how good he has performed for the Super Eagles in recent years, fans would want him to start against Liberia ahead of Ighalo on Saturday.

But I suggest that it would be wise for Gernot Rohr to start Ighalo ahead of Osimhen on Saturday, and I have my reasons for saying this.

Why should Ighalo start ahead of Osimhen on Saturday?


1. Osimhen's recent injury scare: Osimhen suffered a muscle strain in training in October, that saw him miss Napoli's next two games against Salernitana in the Serie A and Legia Warszawa in the Europa League.

He then returned to action in Napoli's 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona where he played 87 minutes of the game. And I think it would be wise to rest him from the start on Saturday and later introduce him in the second half.



2: Ighalo's current form: Ighalo has been on a red hot form for Al Shabab this season, scoring 9 goals in 11 games. So it would be wise to start him in the game to allow him to continue with his good form in front of goals. He is also a big striker as far Super Eagles team is concerned, and as Gernot Rohr has decided to recall him from his retirement, it would be nice to start him as far he is in good shape/foam to start.



Photos: Google.
Ighalo has scored 16 goals in 35 games for the Super Eagles before his retirement, and it will be interesting to see him in action for the National team once again after 2 years

Was there any season jay jay okocha played better than eto ?

I think it’s because the money voted to maintain the stadiums usually ends up in people’s pocket. That’s the “Nigerian factor”, if you ask me.

Wow. That’s almost 30% of their team. The Republic of Ireland ought to be paying us some kinda remuneration then.

On current form and overall performance, osimehn is Africa best 9 and it will be absolutely ludicrous to bench him for ighalo. Ighalo is here to do similar things that he did at man utd
