Icon4s:Your head dey there. That how a real fighter fights. And to think that defender is more than 30 years old with such a superb running that produced one of the saves of the century is unbelievable. Our players must borrow share this same mentality if not more, against Egypt. |

I see Tonight as a critical Night in the history of Nigeria football. The cloud is gathering. Some thing may just happen tonight. TONIGHT MIGHT JUST MARK THE END OF AN ERA WHICH WILL PAVE WAY FOR A NEW ERA-some call it "THE GOLDEN GENERATION". We lose tonight and that is it. We may just see the last of so many senior members of the team. I dnt want to mention names. We know most of them. We win tonight and the birth of that New Era is postponed to a later "dooms" day. Yes dooms Day. That dooms day will surely come. So patriots as we watch tonight's game know that as it is do or die for the Super Eagles players whose national Team future lie on the outcome of that game, it is not do or die for us supporters. The 2018 WC qualifiers are after the Olympics so we build the New Super Eagles from the Olympics of which seven playerd already featured in that first leg against Egypt. I see tonight as a win-win for us. So Patriots , I know tensions are high but remember it would be a win-win situation for us. NIGERIAN FOOTBALL IS PREGNANT. SHE MAY FALL INTO LABOUR TONIGHT AND GIVE BIRTH TO THE NEW ERA. SHE MAY FALL INTO THAT SAME LABOUR IN ANOTHER NOT TOO DISTANT TIME. I have chosen to watch tonight's game under no form of panic or tension cos as I said: IT IS WIN-WIN FOR US. 1 Like |

Icon4s: I want this win because I feel the success of our Super Golden Generation lies in indigenous coaches. The foreign coaches we have had recently just want a list to send to the field. Berti Vogtz hardly stayed in Nigeria to scout local talents. Coach Siasia winning makes a big statement for the local coaches and I wish him and Coach Emmanuel Amunike the best. 2 Likes 1 Share |

A foriegn coach can also be an African, we just need someone with a vision and the ability to transfer it into the players.

The AFCON 2017 qualifiers game saw over 50,000 people crammed into the 25,000 Ahmadu Bello Stadium and that according to a member of the Football association in Egypt unsettled both the referee and their players. “Our players played with fear, the crowd was intimidating to say the least, when we came out for warm up our players were busy looking at those on the floodlight and scoreboard, it was scary” He told owngoalnigeria.com. “In the dressing room we had players asking us if the security can protect them if they win as the crowd was way too much even the referee was moved by it, he was heavily intimidated and it was all because of the crowd. “He made so many questionable calls that went against us but we on our part understand that only a mad man won’t favour a team with such amount of supporters”. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/03/28/exclusive-egypt-fa-the-crowd-intimidated-our-players-and-the-referee/ [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] IHEANACHO RATED MAN CITY BEST ALTERNATIVE TO AGUERO AHEAD OF BONY [/size]  This time last year striker Kelechi Iheanacho had only just begun representing Manchester City’s youth teams. Right now, the 19-year-old is arguably Manuel Pellegrini’s most effective impact player. He is seemingly a lucky charm. In the 414 minutes of BPL action the Nigerian has experienced so far (three starts, 17 substitute appearances) he has only twice seen City’s scoreline go downhill while he has been on the pitch. On both occasions his side were already trailing to Liverpool when he entered the fray. Alternatively, in six different matches, Man City have seen an up lift in terms of the score during the period Iheanacho has been involved; and he netted crucial winning goals against Crystal Palace and Swansea City. The youngster’s sprightliness has undoubtedly been a contributing factor. Kelechi Iheanacho’s first BPL goal was a late winner at Crystal Palace Although it is easier to sustain an energetic approach when coming off the bench, his sharp movement has the tendency to make something happen. When you compare the number of explosive runs he makes to fellow understudy Wilfried Bony, the difference is clear. Player Minutes played Kilometres covered Km per 90 Sprints Sprints per 90 Bony 1031 107.2 9.4 405 35.4 Iheanacho 412 58.8 12.8 383 83.7 Scoring six times in cup competitions, as well as netting three BPL goals, Iheanacho is also calm in front of goal. One criticism would be that he does not put himself into goalscoring positions enough. He has only taken on seven shots – but there can be no doubting that he is a natural finisher. Statistically at least, the teenager is by some distance Man City’s most lethal shot-taker.

While a decision have been reached on dropping Kelechi Iheanacho following his poor peformance against Egypt, the duo of Moses Simon and Stanley Amuzie will mostly likely not be in the starting line up on the ground of experience.

Nigeria know only a victory in Alexandria can guarantee them a spot in next year AFCON and as such are not taking anything for granted regarding the game.

[b][size=14pt] 5 REASONS WHY EAGLES WILL BEAT EGYPT IN ALEXANDRIA [/size] As the Super Eagles of Nigeria take on Egypt in an all important AFCON 2017 qualifiers in Alexandria Egypt, owngoalnigeria.com take a good at some reasons why the Super Eagles will triumph 1. PACY FORWARDs The Pharaohs of Egypt neutralised the pacy of the Eagles attack by defending very deep in their half in the reverse tie played in Kaduna but in Alexandria they are expected to push up a bit which might potentially open up space for Ahmed Musa,Victor Moses,Moses Simon and even Odion Ighalo to run behind and do the damage. 2. OVERLAPPING FULL BACKS In Kaduna the Egyptians played very narrow which made it almost impossible for the Super Eagles to utilise their full backs who all have potential to join attack and wreck havoc. Amuzie made a whole lot of runs but was mostly forced inwards as the Egyptians defended their flanks by doubling up in defence but in Alexandria in front of their fans they will definitely take the game to Nigeria which will lead to an open play which might suit the Nigeria full backs. 3. STRONG BENCH Not many people were aware that Aaron Samuel and red hot MLS goal kingpin Fanendo Adi didn’t make the match day squad yet Nigeria had a bench that has the likes of Aminu Umar,Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses. The battle for shirts will definitely make whoever get to play want to justify his selection like Amuzia and Oghenekaro Etebo did in Kaduna which could spur them to victory in Alexandria. 4. INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE With all due respect to the Egyptian team the individual abilities of the Nigeria side dwarfs theirs bar a few as they rely more on team play. However games like this are sometimes decided by little margins from players with abilities to conjure something out of nothing either with smart dribbles,set pieces and even a pass that can open up space for the forwards to exploits. 5. EGYPT ARE UNDER PRESSURE After missing the last three editions of the Africa Cup of Nations, a tournament which they have won more than any other Africa nation they have never come this close to qualifying in a while. The pressure of breaking the jinx of missing out on three consecutive AFCON tournament might work in the favour of the Super Eagles http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/03/28/5-reasons-why-eagles-will-beat-egypt-in-alexandria/ [/b] |
