Stop running down players to make your point. Tell why you want Kayode in the squad and let those who feel Nwakali Kelechi should have made the team support theirs.

There is no need creating venom in the midst of a family. We should care for all. You pollute minds when you try pitching one against the other.
The fact that you're perpetually giving Mr forgiveness your attention your practically encouraging him to stink this thread with this fuss about Kayode. You all should stop

I want to know how manage Nwakali made the 35 man list at the detriment of players that performed better than him this season?

I don't know if that your question is the answer. Is it?
If you want to know how Nwakali made the 35 man list, go and ask Rohr, Pinnick, NFF or the Super Eagles na or are we him? Him we are? We him are? Him are we? We are him?

Of what importance is my nationality? Let me throw the question back at you.

Are you a Nigerian? What part of Nigeria are you from? Do you have anyone in your family with progressive or non progressive mental deterioration? I asked because you showed typical traits of someone with paranoid schizophrenia or something worse typical of most Nigerians.

You lot suffer delusions or should i call it grandiose patriotism. I thought you were a troll till i started observing some traits about you. What's your relationship like offline? Do you have friends?, wife? children? girlfriend?

No disrespect sir, i think lots of people in this thread need help but you need help the most.

I will not get into your back and forth nonsense. I am only here to remind you that Eagles will not fly. It is not pessimism, you don't have the talent for that. You don't have the talent to face England. You will be beaten. You might get a draw against Czech before Croatia hammers you.

Good i know there is serious cold war between you and icon4s but sometimes better to keep quiet.


First,did you mean icon4s stance on Onigbinde for taking Opabunmi and Ogbeche to WC was tribalism and corruption.

Well that was the general opinion of Nigerians even Komkne and icon79 said it here that Onigbinde collected $10k from players which i don't see as tribal but info at their disposals.

I came out and said No.I know much about 2002 WC team cos my coach was a goalkeeper trainer to 2002 WC and i have three personal friends who are players in that team and they did not pay a dime to make the team.

I had fruitful discussion with Komkne and icon79 without labelling ourselves hater or tribal bigot.This is how it should be,nothing more.

On icon4s seeing Onigbinde as tribal man or corrupt.I want to tell you i had the same discourse with icon4s on Onigbinde.

Icon4s said why should Onigbinde took Opabunmi to WC and i replied why should Onigbinde took Enyeama and Ejide to WC .

Also cited that the same Onigbinde named 22 years old Keshi as his captain at afcon 84 over highly experienced Muda Lawal who was making his 5th Afcon appearance

After bringing out my facts i asked do we called Festus Onigbinde a tribal man.We had a good talk on it and we move on with no issue.

Sir forgiveness hope you remember my initial comment on this issue which i believe is enough for you to forget this and move on.

Sir i know you are a Nigerian possibly from Kwara or Kogi state and love super eagles dearly.If not you will not be here,pls let that love overshadowed any grievances and let's move on.

The more I think about it, the more I wish we could adopt 3 - 5 - 2 as our main Formation at the Mundial. This is the same Formation Philipe Trousier used in the 98 WCQ Matches that made us qualified without Permutations.

It's a big Doubt for Simon to make it to the Mundial, also Iwobi ain't a typical Winger we could rely on, rather an AM. We are getting it wrong by saying Iwobi can play as a Winger, cos he's simply playing as a RMF/LMF.

Musa on the hand is effective playing as a SS or a Striker. He got back to Form at CSKA Moscow not as a Winger rather as a SS. Only VicMo who played throughout the Season as a Wing-back at Chelsea I can possibly call a Winger in the Team at the moment.

We can choke up the Midfield with our best Midfielders, rely on the Pace of our Wing-backs, and a Playmaker who can do magic when needed behind a reliable Striker who won't be playing Guitar in the Box.

If I am in charge of this Team, I will select the Lineup and play the Formation as below to test run my Tactical Plans. In Addition, defensively the Formation automatically will switch to 5 - 4 - 1 with Moses doubling up with Shehu on the right, while Joel doubling up with Idowu on the left.

-------------------- Uzoho ---------------------

Ekong ---------- Balogun ------------ Echiejile

Shehu------ Ndidi ------ Joel ---------- Idowu

------------------- Mikel -----------------------

----------- Moses

------------------------ Ighalo -----------------

I know many Dudes will disagree with my Lineup cos there is no Iwobi, Iheanacho, Tyrone in it, but to me it's tactically better to have a very strong Bench who can make a Difference at any Point in time.

We shouldn't be only solid on the Pitch, we should also be solid on the Bench too, coz that really determined a formidable Squad. I will play Echiejile as the 3rd CB cos he has the Experience to perform in the Position. Defensively he's quite not a bad Player, and I will rather rely on his Experience than experimenting Awaziem or Omeruo in the Position.
Spot on! I keep having this feeling that Iwobi can only be fully utilized as a substitute. Probably Nacho too.
You hardly see Iwobi perform in the early stages of our matches. He tends to grow into the game between mid and latter stages of every match.

And a about Echiejile, he seems way more effective in defense than Awaziem. It should be clear to Rohr at this point that Awaziem's rate of inexperience is still too high. He's the most inexperienced among our defenders all. Provably save for Tyrone.

My formation for England line up

1. 4-3-3
Akpeyi

Ebuehi - - Ekong - - Balogun - - Echiejile

Ndidi - - Mikel Ogu

Iheanacho

Ighalo Simy


I put Akpeyi and Echiejile because if we are going to really access their performance then it is better to see how they will fair against a top European team. They will be no hiding place in this match. England don't joke with friendly,.. Lolz, atleast if they can't win the world cup then they should make do with friendly wins grin

This match is going to be interesting for Echiejile especially, it will be nice to know how he will cope against fast wingers. His performance will make Rohr decision easy honestly

2. Alternative formation

3-5-2

Awaziem Ekong Balogun

Ebuehi Ndidi Ogu V. Moses

Mikel

Ighalo Simy


This formation is no brainer, we have seen Iheanacho and Iwobi before playing false 9 against Argentina and they did very well but i will like to see how our two top 9 will fair in these positions with Mikel and Moses behind them

On 3-5-2 I will start Ighalo and Kelechi and bring in Simmy and Iwobi in second half. Shehu will be dropped for Ogu or Agu because he has not played for Super Eagles in that position. I will swap Ebuehi for Aina.

Sir i know you are a Nigerian possibly from Kwara or Kogi state and love super eagles dearly.If not you will not be here,pls let that love overshadowed any grievances and let's move on.



Firstly, let me clear the air on Onigbinde issue because that seems to be the only thing Mr Forgiveness has been pointing at and using to tag me a tribalist.

Anybody that can go back and dig up that particular comment should please do. I don't have enough time I would have dug it up myself. Or let forgiveness dig it up and post it here this moment.

What I said was that "the general opinion of people" then was that Onigbinde took Opabunmi and Adepoju (not even Ogbeche) to Korea/ Japan for tribal reasons.

I have said it here before that I was a sport writer in the late 90s but though I did less of it as at 2002. Onigbinde was interviewed by the Nigerian press on why he took both players to the WC. He said (quote me any where) that Adepoju(who he called his joker) and Opabunmi were his boys. The general public definitely will take that as tribal sentiment. And that was exactly how they saw it even in the Press Circles.

This very obvious incidence was what I pointed out and he tagged me as a tribalist!

In another post I highlighted the fact that he has remained till date the last coach from that part of country. This statement which is obvious truth and the one highlighted above are what he has been pointing to for the past 3 or 4 years.

Now, I know the thinking is that I hate Onigbinde because he is a Yoruba man.

But what if I tell you that High Chief Adegboyega Festus Onigbinde is my inlaw?

He and my wife are from Modakeke in Osun state, and not that alone they are from the same part of Modakeke that have a common ancestry!

Any body that thinks I have tribalism in my blood is definitely having a very false impression. I was born in Yoruba land, I had all my education including my first degree in Yoruba. I am married to a Yoruba woman and all my children bear Yoruba names not just at home but as their official names in school. My closest friends in life till today are Northerners(most of whom are even Muslims) followed by the Yorubas.

Now, one thing I can say is if I want to criticize some body I do so without considering his ethnicity or religious back ground. Same goes for when I want to praise someone. For eg I have said it here on countless occasions that Emmanuel Amuneke was my childhood friend and hero. When he won the U17 WC I praised him to high heavens but when he failed at U20 I dont think any one here criticised his team selection as much as I did.

Obefemi Martins, just like the Amunekes, was a boy I saw when he was growing up. He used to come watch us play at the White sand pitch at Orile-Iganmu, in Lagos. When we the older ones would leave the pitch they the younger ones then would take over.
Martins watched me play.
But when the clamor for his inclusion in this current team was taking place here did you see me join in? Because objectively speaking I knew he would not really make any difference at this point in his career.

And wait for the shocker, a member of the current Super Eagles team is a distant cousin from my mother's side. And yes I know it would be difficult to figure out that player because I have not been carrying any singular player's matter like gala on my head.

And now Mr Forgiveness, I have decided not to respond to any of those dirty jokes you throw at me (cos I see them as jokes), not because I am timid, not because I cannot speak for myself but because I don't want to rub myself on the mud. You purposely try to provoke me so I can join you on the floor right? But no because I don't take you serious. I don't even read most of your comments on here anymore because you have lost it completely.

I don't know you in person but if this is how you actually reason in life, then it is so so unfortunate. I will not ask you to stop throwing stinking things at me. If you like you continue. But just know that you have become a big distraction to this thread and I will continue to ignore you until you change your manner of approach here.

That’s a good idea as Ighalo can pose a threat in scoring positions when Ebuehi moves forward to support. However, my idea was to bring Ighalo for Simy in the second half.

Truth is not every player gets invited based on the same criteria. There is no standard process. Some player get the call based on club performance, others don’t. Either way they all still have to justify their call.
Let’s take Agbo for example who was never tested despite his consistency at the club level. What do you have to say about that? What would u have said it were Kayode?


I am not happy Agbo was never given the chance to prove himself but I learnt he came to camp with injury hence my silence on his issue.


However, I was the first person among this group to clamour for the invitation of Agbo when he was active in the La Liga because I saw how he was consistent and performed then but these same set of people almost chocked me to death at the mention of his name and as usual, I held my own.

They compared him with Iwobi because they don't even know he plays as a DMF mostly then.

My point is performance has always been my watch word but I am totally amazed on how dey change mouth for here.

Anyway, you can see I didn't fish out Agbo because I know he really really deserved to be on the list.

It's so sad Rohr used him as a training material just to dump him without given him a chance.

Yes, he openly admitted he took his "boys" to the world cup for personal reasons and it was shocking to hear such nonsense from not just a national team coach but from a respected football technician. After that interview people tagged him a tribalist because those his "boys" were Yoruba's

Yes, he openly admitted he took his "boys" to the world cup for personal reasons and it was shocking to hear such nonsense from not just a national team coach but from a respected football technician. After that interview people tagged him a tribalist because those his "boys" were Yoruba's

Exactly what you posted here is what I said that has made him tag me a tribalist all these years!

And please midify your comment by separating yours from mine.

when you lie too much you will start contradicting your self, kayode is not good enough for eagle ao why are you fighting for his inclusion?

Hahahahahaha! I have proved that before. It's true I said Kayode wasn't good enough at one point. Maybe last year.

If you want evidence, I can show you.
