The whole London...

Arsenal FC, By far, the greatest team the world has ever seen.

Funny you.

Will be good to see how Chukwueze performs today,on the biggest stage of his footballing career so far. #YoungTalent

Odunayaw:
How was Ajayi?

Composed, Mostly.

I remember when I predicted Uganda as likely Upsetters during the mundial. They've now well smacked most of us in the face.

SlayerForever:
Likely Upsetters
1) Uganda - While some may argue that they're placed in a soft group consisting of Lesotho, Cape Verde and Tanzania. They've done well to excellently dispatch most of their games so far and have a 100% record away from home. They are five points clear at the top of their group with 10 points and now need just a point from their remaining 2 games to progress.
2) Madagascar - Though not a household name in continental football, they've done very well so far and have already qualified with 2 games to spare after amassing a whopping 10 points from the first 4 games.

I still felt our boys would skin it at the end but it wasn't to be: They held us to a nil-nil on our own turf.

AFCON will be TOUGH!

Joebie:
Kai we don give Baxter mouth

” I’m disappointed that we couldn’t win. We were better than Nigeria in both halves. They were lucky to have picked a draw because we could easily have won. On the other hand I’m happy that we picked three points against this Nigerian team”, Baxter said at the post match interview.

He can vomit whatever balderdash he wants to. He should qualify against Libya away let's see.

Taliban:
They may probably not be called up sir.

Of course,they don't think of that.

The NFF needs to submit a petition to FIFA for a probe into the officiating. Irregularities must be seen to be discouraged at all times.

Curtisaxel7:
No. It takes only an Eden Hazard. .

Lol.

If the Organization and Transparency wasn't there Eden wouldn't have made it to the big stage.

Belgium are top of the Men Football rankings. Joint top with Les Blues.


If erstwhile lowly Belgium can do it,any national team can do it. It just takes Organization and Transparency.

Nice updates Joebie. Apparently the South African team are heavily weakened with a lot of injuries. That's one up already

Excellent weekend past for the lads! These boys are doing very good at their respective clubs churning out good. When going into a crucial tie (like against S.A) it's best the boys come in in good form. Very good for their confidence.

Our boys did well generally however these particular guys did especially well.
Henry Onyekuru✓
Samuel Chukwueze✓
Troost-Ekong✓
Victor Osimhen✓
Ahmed Musa✓


Worthy mentions for:
Stephen Odey✓
Blessing Eleke✓
Chisom Egbuchalam
Paul Onuachu✓


Also,we welcome Sarenren Bazee back to playing football. Hope Ighalo and Uzoho can get back soonest.

Iheanacho starts! I see Vardy on the bench. Interesting.

Bolowolowo:
Anyone have any idea as to why Tunisia is #1 in Africa and #22 in the world. Who have they faced in the AFCON qualifiers? How have they gotten so high in the rankings. Because, from what I remember, they did not play well at the world cup.

It was never going to be easy for Tunisia at the world cup having to face England and Belgium (Eventual Semifinalists) in the same group. They're doing very well currently: 100% record so far in the AFCON qualifiers beating Egypt along the way.

They're good.

charlesemeka85:
na only sentimental fools go dey cry for the inclusion of our local league players in the super eagles when we have seasoned professionals playing in top and decent leagues in europe

Their level too poor abeg. Chai.

BascoVanVeli:
Who? Name those people abeg. This type of opportunistic comment was no where to be found when the Aiteo cup produced the match of the day!! There are NPFL fans in the house so deal with it.

The level is still very very very very poor. Just being frank.

Just look at the display from a top club side like Enyimba. . .and yet people are always crying that we pick our SE players from the local league. Oh please.

charlesemeka85:
The first choice goalkeeper of the senior national team of Nigeria Francis Odinaka Uzoho has been nominated for the award of the best player in the Spanish second division after the latest round of games.

Everyone Can Win On Sports Betting With This Little Trick
Uzoho was handed his first start by the coach of Elche since his summer move from Deportivo La Coruna on loan and the 19 year old didn’t disappoint with a strong showing as his club run out 2-0 winners over Malaga.

During the game he made five key saves, one punched and hit an astonishing 15 correct passes out of 25 attempted during the game and he was deservedly named the man of the match.

His performance hasn’t gone unnoticed by the governing body of the league as he has been nominated for the player of the week award alongside four others.

MetalJigsaw:
How good is this Ebere Eze?

Quite Good. Good enough for the super eagles?! Not sure he's quite there yet. The common verdict here is that HE IS!

edi287:
Yep exactly. But Ndidi will cover the defensive side and Iwobi can put in work defensively when he's up for it. Rohr needs to be looking for AMs.

Alright.

krattoss:
it's such a bonus we got an utility player like iwobi who can operate more than one position in a game.
Be that as it may, depending on the quality at hand prior to any match, t will determine his position in a game.
If MIKEL obi is fit for match, I don't see iwobi starting ahead of him, and the manager isn't one who is ready to draft MIKEL in the cmf position anytime soon.
But in his absence, a fit iwobi is definitely starting in the AMF position.
The wings been congested with many wingers at the moment. It will be unrealistic if we see iwobi as a winger in the already congested and overpopulated wings.. think the Manager but at club and country has started seeing his potentials in the middle of the park.
He has played more in the middle for club and country this season than before.. Hence we should see him as a potential AMF. He will be a good replacement and deputy to our ageing legend John MIKEL obi.

That been said.. In my opinion, I will like him to operate more from the AMF role... Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

edi287:
He's better off as a 10 with us because we don't have the players with the technical ability Arsenal does. He can play as an inverted winger if we have midfielders that are fluid and drift around . I thought Etebo could do that but I don't know anymore.
Sha I know if Mikel comes back, Rohr might still push him out to the left.

@The bolded: Excellent Point.✅

I personally think Iwobi either as a winger or 10 should work on shooting. That is practically what's remaining.


On the side,imagine a 4-3-3 formation with Mikel as regista,then ahead him the fluidity of Iwobi and Ebere Eze. Good for creating chances,right? Albeit with less cover defensively.

MetalJigsaw:
Now you all can see that the right AM is the problem and not really Ighalo.

Ighalo was in poor form really,he was still missing sitters. However,I was angry with Ighalo but I withheld from passing scalding comments on his performance because I had very strong reservations about the functionality of our midfield: They were not creating. From the Czech friendly (The worst) to the Croatia match to Argentina.

Considering his performance for both club and country: Iwobi on the wings or Iwobi as the 10. Which will be of more benefit to the national team? @edi247.

Beautiful day today.

I think having camps against each other is so lame. We're not club fans, this is a national team for crying out loud. It is so so lame. I think having needless and never ending exchanges with an obvious troll is at the root of the problem because soon almost everybody begins to take sides and we begin to form camps. The result is that we cannot even analyze or offer constrictive criticism on our players anymore because you're afraid not to offend one camp or the other. I don't how possible it is but we need to stop all this, There's a need for a handshake across borders here.

Mhoyorsawreh1:
Yes, but dnt know what went wrong with him last night..i like d guy sha

Cool.

Mhoyorsawreh1:
I think he was converted to a RB at chelsea

Okay o. He plays defence for us sha,he should try and work on his concentration during matches.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Shut up joor and go sit in a corner... Looolll... Just blowing hot air here and there... Never comment on something you are bloody ignorant about... You must not always Cho Cho Cho Cho...

**Trash channel** plsss excuse me... **Clicks**

Expected.

Continue rolling in the mud lad. Adiós.

TheSuperNerd:
Oga... You are just a newbie and thus cannot comment on something you have zero knowledge about. I know when you walked in here. You were not even here before this thread was formed... You don't know about the U-23 thread. That is where Forgiveness began his attacks and player vs player talks. He is the one who brought it and have sustained that campaign so ferociously. So again, keep silent about what you know nothing about... You must not always comment especially when you are ignorant of a matter. You are welcome.

[/s]

Then if you perpetuated it from then till now we're speaking,to the extent it is now this bad, you're just as immature as the troll that started it. Think on that.

TheSuperNerd:
Shut up and be quiet. You know nothing about the history of who brought player vs player here. You are a newbie here... So just sit down and learn. You're welcome.

Don't tell me to shut up next time young man. The regular posters here didn't start it,they perpetuated it even till now,same difference. You can all be mature and forget about it now.

The Ighalo vs Iheanacho tussle was started by the regular posters here. It is now very very surprising that they are all deflecting blame from each other and writing long epistles upandan. Chai, people.

forgiveness:
He is just like Ndidi but more attack minded.

Okay.
