I hope so.

this is what our local coaches don't do, they don't take friendlies serious, thereby loosing or playing draws with useless teams. that is why we always rank badly hence we always get tough groups at major tournaments due to bad ranking.

If we start taking our friendly matches serious, we will be ranking btw 1-30.

barinedan:
With all the victory Nigeria secured in the past three matches Fifa will still give their stupid ranking against us

chidexxy007:

Hahaha... no more questions but I don't see any scenario u layed out there as being tactical as both scenario won't affect the game tactically..
gk for gk is just a straight swap like striker for striker replacement.. one don tire and needs be replaced...

chidexxy007:

lol..... Give me one of such scenarios you've witnessed?
a match even if na street football.

mikron:
not just that, u have to beat teams above u in the fifa rank to be able to move better in the rankings, beat teams below u, it won't do u any good

Holysuck:
If nigeria win i wil giv my gf to nairalanders

stephenolamide:
Shey, Salah no play ni?!

mikron:
klexy my bro we did it, can't rmbr the last time we beat this Egyptian national team. Kudos to Paul onuachu, lad made me proud with that strike, ndidi was outstanding, ogu was solid, Moses Simon, balogun, troost and not forgetting ezenwa all had a good game, next stop June fifa free window for our final 2 friendlies before the tournament proper, up naija. The land is green

Hoping for a successful outing at AFCON.


The Land is Green my brother.

ASABA STADIUM AGAIN??

That Asaba stadium is a strong evidence that some Nigerian stadia are not built for sports, but for political rallies. For an oil - rich state like Delta, the Asaba stadium is disappointing.

Kingzy4pep:
Why the ugly Asaba stadium again?

Iamoriginalben:
Fo all those shouting Mo Salah, he is not going to play the game. Anyway, my worry is with the Asaba Stadium. How can we keep playing our National team in dat pitch?? Haven't the NFF noticed that for our pattern of play nd the kind of fast attackers we have, a bigger staduim shoud be sort?? All our recent games in Asaba have been boring to watch really...

Omololu2121:
I'm sure you're appreciating the mess power supply is in today

I wander while uyo can't be use instead of asaba.

nicepoker101:
if you know how much was sunk into building that stupid stadium I am sure you will come back and edit your comment

Burnavick:
I prefer to play football on my rug than that asaba pitch......well Sha, Salah go just dey flop. ADVANTAGE

klexycole:

Exactly!

tonysmart41:
government official abeg tell us how much because na u pay for d project,person go just wake up come dey talk wetin him no know

tonysmart41:
because una family no get money to build 1,that's why?

timay:


Do you know that loosing to team below you is very bad as well. when you loose or play draw against team below you, you loose a lot of points. but when you loose against team above you, you might not even drop any point sef, depending on the position of that team (example is a top 10 team).

chidexxy007:
wait! izit that midgetland Onuauchu?

R2bees:
Wow. Wonder what delayed his call up.

Sabby1:


Same here.
His height alone scares defenders. He's 2.01 m (6 ft 7 in)

footballcable:
I have to say, Nigeria may have won Egypt but their build up play is really bad.. Rohr has to find a style of football for the team

R2bees:
Woah.. Hope he score loads in Denmark?

R2bees:
Wow. Wonder what delayed his call up.
