tbaba1234: I wasn't fazed with the poor Performance of almost all the Players Today due to the state of the Pitch. In fact I lost interest in the Game at a Point and had to focuse on reading Posts here. We gonna know who is who against England and Czech. Rohr should chill till after the England Game before cutting out 4 more Players from the List. |

Oasis007:You know why they said that? The friendlies were meant to ascertain the quality of players as stand alone elements (team assessment notwithstanding) so any player balling (and who is consistent) gives us confidence that he can add quality to the team. I want Ebuehi to ball and I'm happy when he does but ultimately it's the team I have my eyes on, it's what Ebuehi's balling can add to the team that gives me joy. That's why some defend Vicmo. His selfishness as some put has yielded returns. He balls. His balling makes the team tick 1 Like |

Oasis007:Lokosa to dance Makosa at Wembley. What a stage! But on a serious note Rohr should try it. What I wanted to see wasn't the guy's skill level but his confidence. Cos no matter the skills if you don't have confidence you fit just see Otamendi your blood go just dry, your leg go weak. Ighalo can never suffer from such. But Lokosa should be tried out. 1 Like |

safarigirl:Babe relax.....the connectivity of the midfield with the attack is serious lacking whenever mikel is off pitch.... playing etebo there is like have 10 players on the pitch....he barely give a thorough pass upfront.... so what's the need? though it is a bit late now...I have always harp on the need to include that lad on the 30-35 man list...because of his good passing accuracy nd vision upfront. so I still believe him in being in that team far better than having the likes of Agbo and co. too many DMs in this team. |

Is NFF trying to decapitate our players by sending them to play with an African team on that suicidal ground called pitch? What have we gained playing on such horrible turf when the WC will be played on excellent pitches? No wonder the boys were careful with tackles that could end their WC aspirations and the SS guys were busy castigating the boys for not committing suicidel on that evil pitch 7 Likes |

Super Eagles Fans Are All Saying The Same Thing About Simy After Sparkling Debut Published: May 28, 2018 Super Eagles Fans Are All Saying The Same Thing About Simy After Sparkling Debut Crotone striker Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo showed his class with an impressive performance on his full debut for the Super Eagles and Nigeria fans have sent a message to manager Gernot Rohr that he must be on the plane to Russia. The lanky forward was brilliant in his movement, showed signs he can pose danger in the opposition penalty area, and was unlucky not to score after hitting the post with a left-footed strike in the first half and came close with a brilliant header in the second stanza. Simy finished last season as Nigeria's top scorer in Europe's top five leagues with seven goals for a struggling club. Here are some of the reactions on Twitter from Super Eagles fans who are raving about his performance against the Leopards: @Ebuka : ''Simy Nwankwo has had a good game today.'' @debolaadebanjo : ''Match to forget, not for Simy Nwankwo though.'' @TheOddSolace : ''To be honest, this match is a write-off in my eyes. Only thing meaningful out of it is that Simy has looked good in snatches.'' @jeremy_liit : ''Okay seen enough of Simy Nwankwo to know he has to go to Russia.'' @MFBANE301 : ''Simy should be on the plane to Russia, we don't have many true strikers.'' @oluwasanmiSolo1 : ''I think simy nwakwo will take moses Simon spot in the team.'' @adesurplux : ''This guy Simy should make the final 23, good player to deputy Ighalo #NGA''. @TheSilentMafia_ : ''Simy Nwankwo is already in the Worldcup team.'' @ade1402 : ''Simy Nwankwo should make the pack to Russia. He has all the attributes of a striker.'' @riicojay13 : ''If mikel Agu makes it to world cup it is a clear indication he bribe his way in, Simy very decent if he get better supply must make the team in my opinion..Echejile has no business going too.'' @david_ezennunu4 : ''It's been really shallow from the midfield in this game but this new boy simy nwakwo that is the center forward for this game is really good, he should def be taken along to d world cup. More competition for ighalo''. @OmotayoA : ''Simy Nwankwo has really positioned himself for the World Cup based on the performance today. Given time and better services from the middle, he promises to be another enterprising striker for Nigeria while also adding the physical presence upfront. Quite impressed with him.'' @Tautolo52179558 : ''Simy nwankwo should b in Russia.'' @NurudeenObalola : ''I think Simy should be on the plane to Russia...''. @AYOMIDE_SUPER : ''Simy nwankwo must go to russia ooo i no wan know how @NGSuperEagles''. @Biola_Carter : ''This Simy Nwankwo must go to Russia... But I need someone to tell me one special thing about that Etebor guy.'' @tcompton_Lion : ''Simy nwankwo is on that plane to Russia already 4 Likes |

goldfish80:I'm not trivialising it but you see I'd prefer the team to be criticised on its own terms than calling for what we know cannot happen at this stage. That's why I kept saying that we have to face reality. See lots of people criticizing the team for its inability to string passes, play well through the middle and many other deficiencies. One can hardly contest this cos this are facts But talking about team B as a way of levelling criticism on the team is like I said too basic. Team B cannot carry what this team is going to carry at the WC. Nwakali is good. Can he go to WC at this stage? No. Hope you get my point |

charlesemeka85: We saw a glimpse of what the team can do when they got the bit between their teeth against Argentina. They were fired up for the game, saw Ndidi's celebration for the equalizer. I suspect that they will be fired up for the England game as well. For most players, they just want to get through these games with no injury. |
