be like say you no fit list more that one "weaknesses"

BankyGee:
You see am be that.

And to set things straight bah, this same Nwabali is like the best goalkeeper in Africa, no jokes.

Strengths: Throwing, reflexes, ball distribution, physique, penalty saving, anticipation - he's strong in all these aspects.

But:
Weaknesses: Discipline, anger issues, drama queen, lessing balls 😂

Ndidi woke up in the 2nd half and he marshalled the MF well even though one could see that he's no more the box-to-box player he used to be

We need to create room for younger MF players who would take over from him.

Osasu is a journo I take seriously on fifa rules so I hope he is right.

So if indeed the playoffs yellows are counted different from the regular WCQs yellows, then thanks goodness.

Just that the rule that is available to us is the normal 2 yellow cards rule throughout a qualifying campaign or a tournament. The confusion has always been about whether cards accumulation at one stage of qualifiers carries into a fresh stage.
If only the specifics of the WCQs playoffs suspension rule was laid out or made publicly available, there wont be this much confusion, hence the reference to the general suspension rule.
Let it be that Ndidi doesn't play because of the yellow. I want to see Onyedika.

Chief that's why I specifically said CB.

We have had fullbacks Aina included who were comfortable on the ball but can't say the same for CB unless probably Stephen Keshi.

victornoah:
Bros you can't say this nah.

Fredrick is very good.. but can you say he's more comfortable on the ball and plays more accurate pass than the injured Ola Aina?

Let's learn not to be quick to forget cool

After we beat DR Congo, make them bring Brazil come 🫴🏾 I wan check something.
Brazil is a shell of itself. I hope Ancellotti rebuilds that team. A tournament is great when the heavy weights are up to par.

I believe I saw Zachary in the Swiss U21 lineup vs France U21s in a Euro U21 qualifier just before I switched to England U21 vs Ireland U21s yesterday. They also had another Nigerian defender in Bruno Ifechukwu Ogbus.
Higher chance you say? Well, I dont know but I do know we hardly bag a Swiss-Nigerian.

Manuel Akanji... Noah Okafor... next to follow may be Bryan Okoh.

Joebie:
We have a higher chance of getting the Swiss young international, Zachary Athekame (20), of AC Milan than Michael Kayode. The latter indicated early this year is that his dream is to achieve big things for Italy senior national team.

When did Turkey become a fav NT of yours ehn this man? grin Osimhen joined Gala in 2024. Na dia the Romance start eh?

Anyway, mine remains:
- Super Eagles (and all other Naija NTs)
- Netherlands
- Morocco
- Brazil (Senior team only) grin

The End.
You don catch me, them come from relegation enter second because of Osimhen 😏

Agreed. That is why I put up that yellow cards explanation yesterday.

Until FIFA says absolutely otherwise, better to play cautious abeg. Well said.

mank1234:
Go with what's on Wikipedia. Though it updatable by the general public, the info there is 99% accurate.
It's better to play on the side of caution. Ndidi is suspended

Time will tell on Kayode. Cambiasso and Di Lorenzo were picked ahead of him in the latest Italian list. Even Destiny Udogie missed out although that one is already captied forever. Di Marco and Calafiori are way ahead.

Honest Ahanor faces an uphill task too to break in even if they finally get him his italian passport. But he has time on his side as he is still a teen. Time will tell but you are somewhat right... Mission impossible for now by the look of things. Also, because I doubt we have made concrete approaches.

Well, I want it too but I have a feeling it would be Onyeka starting and not Onyedika if Ndidi does misses out.

Onyeka was the man when Ndidi was absent at the AFCON, and so far he has been the preferred sub, so I believe he will also be the man to replace Ndidi against DRC

Benjamin must remain in CB on Sunday, coach shouldn't be tempted to bring on Seyi and push the latter to the RB. ABEG don't change that back four. Osayi will never repeat those silly erros that almost cost use the game.

Onyeka replaces Ndidi (Onyedika can come in to replace him)

Leave Iwobi, Lookman, Adam, Osimhen and Chukwueze as they are.


Simon Moses and Ejuke can come in 2nd half to traumatize Congo and make them regret. What do you think guysgrin grin grin
I'd replace Osayi with Awaziem. Awaziem's long balls is so accurate. Thing is I don't know if he can run the channel

It baffles me how from coach to coach, Onyedika gets to sit on the bench.

Even when Iwobi was tired, Chelle left him. I just pray that when Onyedika gets his chance, he puts out a superb performance

Frank for all his limitation, will always make his presence felt with his bustling energy. I understand that the Congolese are a physical team. Well, that's where Frank the Tank comes in.

Who else has noticed that Bassey plays with a swagger that is like that of the 94 guys?

He's been phenomenal. An untiring beast who has played every single minute throughout this qualifiers.

Osayi's error was not a one off. The boy has always been sub par. Dude is not super eagles quality. Awaziem is average too but he is better than Osayi. Awaziem should be played as the right back.

Abeg ooo. Benjamin should go play RB. Seyi is needed in the CB to deal with aerial balls from the Congolese.
Has Osayi not punished you enough? You want to tempt the gods abi. Person cause PK, the gods overlook am, he deflected the ball into the net, the gods forgave him by letting us win, now you say he should play RB against a Congolese team that has a reputation for being physical and good with set pieces.

No na
