Mikel strives on old glory ...

Nigger shouldn't be starting for Nigeria.

He's tired and gays out easily!

the guy didn't play anything

iwobi seems to have pulled a hamstring

toluxa1:
We obviously are not ready yet.

Is that not the point of playing friendlies? To prepare?

Nigeria needs young fast attacking forwards....

All our previous friendlies were better. So are we getting better or worse?

CSTR1003:
Kelechi Nwakali would have been better compared to those two .

Even Ruben loftus cheek is not better than him.

He is young but he has far more talent than lotus cheek , onazi and Joel obi.

Rohr wanted to put him in the team after the athletico game but FIFA said the list has been announced, he can only remove not add. he would have been a perfect understudy to Mikel, it's a shame.

Donwyz:

He overworked himself.

ZombiePUNISHER:
He is a work in progress
Probably better than all we have at the moment
But am disappointed with the Kane goal

yeah it was a quick fast shot. But if not 4 his vigilance, it should have been more

An improved second half performance.
The right side of defence is interesting, tight. Left side, loads of work to do. MFs and strikers really have to work harder.

Abeg, let' forget the world cup. This team can't even win the AFCON.

delusional ipob inyamuri flat.head,all these igbo people wai full this team na ex convicts,ritualist,Yahoo Yahoo and skull miners

Agreed

Aunty Oponu, this is a public forum where the imbecility of nits like you are open for cure.

This thing is definitely insane, ranting up and down like a mad man. It cant have a conversation without spewing bile from its guttermouth... what do they say again about empty barrels...

Onazi should be dropped ..rubbish player

I'm not impress in this game. We are still the underdogs and it doesn't supposed to be so.

Until we are ranked way above England we will be the underdog.

80 min: A period of England possession out on the left. Some crisp passing. It ends when Rashford looks for the bottom left from distance. He drags his shot well wide.

82 min: Alli departs to those pantomime boos from the Nigeria fans. Delph takes his place.

84 min: Now it’s Nigeria’s turn to ping the ball around nicely. Mikel and then Iheanacho threaten to cause England a bit of bother as they press towards the box, but the home side hold their shape and there’s no way through. Nigeria are forced to turn back upfield.

85 min: This match is beginning to peter out. England are quite content to sit back and stroke it around, killing the clock.

86 min: Delph, quarterbacking from deep, lifts a pass down the inside-right channel for Rashford, who attempts to guide a first-time header over Uzoho and into the top left. It goes over the bar, but a decent effort all round.

88 min: Mikel embarks on an intricate run down the middle of the park. He lays off for Musa, who nearly breaks into the box. Not quite. The ball’s recycled and a hail-mary is sent down the centre. Pickford comes out to punch. Mikel clatters into him, and that’s a free kick for England. What a delicious dribble by Mikel, though.

90 min: Nigeria see a lot of the ball, but England hold firm and the visitors can do little with it. There will be four added minutes.

90 min +1: Musa curls a cross in from the left. Iheanacho is lurking, but Cahill batters a header away from danger.

90 min +2: Welbeck races into a lot of space down the right. He’s got Rashford free in the middle, but opts to go it alone, stumbles slightly, and all momentum is lost.

90 min +3: Ebuehi accidentally studs Rose in the knee. Thankfully, after the initial sting of contact, Rose springs back into action.

And that’s that. England’s preparations for the World Cup have started well. Very well in the first half, perhaps not so well in the second. But a win’s a win’s a win. Polite applause ripples around Wembley accordingly.

FULL TIME: England 2-1 Nigeria

Who told you that this team was going to the world cup to win it? lets keep a realistic expectations from these guys.

haibe:
Who else is watching Sweden vs Denmark

That's what I call football

Quality football

Cooly100:
Good for Eagles...

Onazi

Shehu

Joel Obi

Should stay back in Nigeria.

Shehu ? loool e be like u mistake him for someone else

thank god the match have finished , because it nearly gave my father heart attack

I think d coach is a bit too rigid with his selection. He could have settled this onazi, Joel obi issue long ago. Right now, d team has short 2. John ogu gave me hope. D timing of his tackles was sweet and he falls back to cover d defence

COMPAQ:
I suspect the issue of age cheating may have caught up with them. Maybe they are just too slow to play dynamic midfield.

on point

helinues:
FT England 2 - 1 Nigeria

Not a bad game though. At least we were able to correct our first half mistakes.

Rohr please , kindly drop Onazi and Joel Obi.

Thanks

at least am not alone. Joel obi and onazi are disasters

jtwest:
I believe onazi and Joel obi should goan be selling the jersey at aba, not go to the world cup.

That Onazi tire me. He could not even complete a single pass.

England ������� 2 Nigeria �� 1 FT. Nigeria finish the game with an away goal and a better jersey! For those looking for the bright side. #ENGNGA

I don't see any wrong with the goalkeeper
I see we have to avoid slow start to games
We need a formation we are good at and stick to it with options to switch to

Nigeria just dey give me joy[code][/code]

joel should be dropped immediately .Iwobi is a good passer of the ball .He should be in starting 11.Ebuehi should start ahead of Shehu .onazi should be replaced with NWAKALI .HE IS HEAVY AND FULL OF WRONG PASSES.The second is not bad .Uzoho gaining confident for the world cup. set piece remains tthe major problem of our defense

ajl:

His experience is useless .full of wrong passes
