CR7 play for juventus and Portugal both teams are not known for flair tho ororo is a special player

I've seen tabarez Uruguay play several time,his tactics is stay compact and hit on the counter

Marjoribanks:

See don't say what you don't know.
China is currently playing South Africa.
This China team cannot defeat South Korea ok.
On what assumptions is this your statement base!

Icon4s:


I don't think the like for Iheanacho is tribally rooted. Some of Iheanacho's strong lovers right from time are not Igbos: notefully : TheGoodJoe, Bascovanvelli, Humility, Joebie, Tbaba1234, Joseph1034 among other. So there is no basis for you to want to link the call for Iheanacho to tribalism.

And please keep that tribalism talk away.

BascoVanVeli:
This will be Mikel's last AFCON. Doesn't fancy being a coach.

M7even:


There was so much pressure on our defense against Korea. It's understandable why they were later committing those errors. Against France, they should limit those pressure by playing them at the midfield. France expects that we would play defensive and if we take the bait, they would punish as they are more clinical than the Koreans.
The coach need devise a strategy of playing most of the game in the midfield. When the chances open up and we are lucky, we might hold a surprise victory.

Marjoribanks:

It's you that doesn't know ball trying to undermine our victory over Korea.
If ranking is not important why was it introduced.
Why is South Africa not ahead of Spain.
Na you no Sabi anything.

This cannot be over-emphasized

A lot of monikers here result to tribalism accusations when they can no longer argue intelligently.

This is the SE thread and not a politics thread

Apparently he hasn't.

@TheGoodJoe.
Please is it true that Bredan Rogers is planning to bring in Daniel Sturridge to Liecester City on a free transfer for the coming season? If true, then Iheanacho really have a lot to learn under Rogers. To me, Rogers say one thing in public & does exactly the opposite in private. I bet he does not have the patience to tolerate Iheanacho's lack of confidence in front of goal. He also will not continue to watch a professional footballer lacking basics such as ball control & dribbling out of small spaces. The new season will show us how right or wrong you are about Rogers. I remember how you use to stoutly defend Pep when Iheanacho was in Man City. Saying he was learning from him. But time really justified the true state of things then.

TheGoodJoe:
“But the way Liverpool played, with the ball on the floor, and being released very fast to my feet, gave me a chance against the big guys." Suarez on how he likes his passing served.

This is why I am against Rohr’s system because it does not suit the way to get the best from Nacho.

You guys actually watch Super Falcons ...lmao. When I never ready to have a cardiac arrest.

Since camp started I haven't heard anything from Ighalo

Nothing both of you said made any sense. Willian is IN the team. You can find a nail to sit on if you don't like it.

jihday:
i hope he's fit now abi na injured players we dey pack go as Ezenwa is also injured

TheGoodJoe:


You are not getting my point. Look at Balogun. The one game convinced people that his lack of game time did not diminish his quality.

It is not about Rohr’s decision. That was already made. I am talking of preventing a public critic of him making the wrong decision. As it stands, no major cryout. If Nacho had pulled a stunner and Rohr still dropped him, there would have been some noises.

That I think was why Rohr avoided playing Nacho in the friendly.

This is not about dropping Nacho or not. Rohr already made his decision.

Five Things To Expect From Super Eagles Friendly Against Senegal

he Super Eagles will play a friendly match against the Teranga Lions of Senegal on Sunday as part of their preparations for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The encounter is expected to be an entertaining one based on the rivalry existing between both countries and the quality of players in both teams.

What should Nigerians expect during and after the game? Here are top five things to look out for.

1. Plenty Goals

The encounter is expected to witness many goals from both sides based on current form. Each of the strikers in Rohr's final squad scored an impressive number of goals for their respective clubs, while, Senegal strikers also did the same throughout the season.

Judging by the strikers' deadly form, the two goalies are expected to find the ball in their net on many occasions.

2. High Physical Game

Historically, all matches between two West African countries are always accompanied by hard tackles, and show of strength and agility.

Though both sides will be very cautious with their tackles on Saturday, the encounter is set to be a very physical one.

3. Great Attacking Moves From Both Sides

Senegal and Nigeria are known for their attacking style of play, hence, the supporters will be treated to an highly entertaining game.

Sadio Mane's high converting rate and Ismaila Sarr's pace will be massively put to test by coach Aliou Cisse while Gernot Rohr will want to see more from Samuel Chukwueze and Paul Onuachu.

4. Strong Starting Lineup

This is the last preparatory match for the Super Eagles before their AFCON opener against Burundi, therefore, Rohr is expected to name a strong team.

Ekong and Musa, who started from the bench against Zimbabwe last weekend, are expected to be in the starting lineup.

5. Less Substitutions From Gernot Rohr

This game is organized to help Rohr access the fitness level of his players, and to help boost the chemistry between his players ahead of Burundi's challenge.

We should expect less substitutions from the gaffer who will want to see if some players can complete a game.

Taiwo Awoniyi on Nigeria national team snub:

"Actually for me if a player is trying his best in his club, you believe you are doing the best you can and if you don’t get called-up, not even once, you’ll be sad about it, that is the truth, but there is nothing you can do about it. You just have to keep on working and keep on believing in yourself, that is football. I am a believer.”
