Nigeria has been grouped with South Africa, Kenya and Angola for 2022 World Cup.This is really the group of "life".

charlesemeka85:
i just hope pinnick and his cohorts renew his contract with new clauses and targets. a mandate to rohr to at least take the team to the next afcon finals and 2nd round stage at the 2022 world cup. with the progress of the team so far coupled with talented young players in his disposal i believe this targets are reachable.

it makes no sense letting him leave and at the same time running off to europe to get another coach who the nff will still default in paying his wages and bonuses. for now let's make do with what we have and can afford

Let us all on this trend flood the NFF handle and demand #wewantrohr#

Toylove:
That England sef ehn...they couldn't even pity tomori and start him against Kosovo

Thats how they use and dump like tissue paper.

somehow:
These names I listed are to assist Rohr o

Eguaveon for the defence
Amuneke for attack
Enyeama for GK department

Time for Alloy to leave the stage.

How I wish the NFF are on this trend reading this.

Joebie:
That Eze matter.. no put hope.

England should just pity us and leave the boy for us na

The future is bright for Nigerian football. Never have we had it as exciting as this where we have a quality 1st and 2nd eleven.
Rohr must seize this opportunity and harness these exciting players for better results and delievery. He must give opportunity for Dennis, Okereke, Olayinka and Ejuke to also contribute their own quota. And when we finally cap Eze, the world will know we have arrived.

Lovexme:
Musa offered absolutely nothing.

He's in the team because of northern factor and zoning policy if not he has passed his prime.

gaetano:
We have in form strikers like olayinka, okereke and Dennis who are starters in the UCL but your coach will call up guys like Onuachu and saudi's Ahmed Musa. See Wetin Musa throwaway

Its time we give opportunity to Olayinka, Okereke, Dennis and Ejuke their opportunity. Nigeria is blessed

TheSuperNerd:
Onwards to Lesotho... Super Eagles boarding their flight leaving Uyo for Maseru

Thank you TheSupernerd for this hot juicy news. You are an updated man. Kudos

But come ooo. I can see the sleepy eyes of some of these players. This thing NFF is doing is not good ooo

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, says captain, Ahmed Musa, advised him on team selection against Benin in their 2021 cup of Nations qualifier on Wednesday.

Rohr at the team’s post-match conference said that the Al Nassr forward sacrificed his spot in the starting line-up to give the younger players a chance. “

“It is wonderful to have a captain like Musa, he told me in the pre-match press conference to start the team that started against Brazil because he thought they did well.

“So we started the same attack like we did against Ukraine but made a little change. He said I should play other that are having good playing time with their clubs because he is just returning from injury.”

Musa says he is willing to help the team in any way he can but the younger players must be given a chance to show what they have.

“I don’t have to play, I wanted the coach to start the same team that played against Brazil because they played very good,” he said.

“You can see the young players are coming up so we have to give them the chance. Maybe Ahmed Musa is not going to be there anymore, we have to start grooming more players. To me the captain armband is not really a big deal; it is the team that matter.”

So Ahmed Musa don turn technical adviser to Rohr. Na waya ooo

somehow:
Can Rohr kindly take a look at that U23 GK? he's even taller than stagnant Ezenwa and also younger.

Thats the only revelation of the team. Rohr please cap him

Only the Super Eagles has had a successful year 2019 with 3rd place. All the other national teams were poo.
Falcons were knocked out in the second round of WWC 2019
Flying Eagles also knocked out in second round of U20 WYC 2019
CHAN eagles did not even qualify for 2019 CHAN
Golden eaglets knocked out in the second round of U17 WYC 2019
Now, Olympic eagles knocked out in the qualifying stages of U23 AFCON olympics

Who did this to Nigeria?

Curtisaxel7:
Watching Montenegro against England taught me to respect Gernot Rohr's tactical decisions against big teams.

The Montenegro team attempted to match England strength for strength, trying to keep possession and attack when they can, and the result is there for all to see. They played bravely, entertained thier fans, and lost woefully.

Rohr would NEVER lose to ANY team by that margin. Call his style boring and conservative, but he has never lost to any team by more than two goals. Not to England, Argentina or Brazil.

Rohr may not be dishing out eye-catching fantastic football at the moment, but he certainly gets his results.

Please let's respect Gernot Rohr.

The man dey try. He is upgrading himself. Even NFF knows that. He gives us good decent results. Love him or hate him, he is making progress with Nigeria. If we sack him today, he won't go jobless.

darkelf:
They choose and must live with the consequences.

Now they must prove that they are 5x better than the real English to command a starting shirt. Very unfair but its the sad reality

He never see anything

Icon79:
You dey mind am?
Homo bish

O pari

Point of correction. I no be homo ooo. Thanks

We need to beat Lesotho in their home ground and grab 6pts. We have an exciting youthful, vibrant team. I heard that the Lesotho pitch is synthetic. Pray that our players will end the game injury free.

I'm so happy for Ola Aina. He has greatly improved since the AFCON tournament. They way he ghosts his opponents and his killer passes are alarming. Tyrone Ebueh and Shehu Abdullahi will find it difficult benching him now. Now he is reaping the dividends of playing for Nigeria not like others who will keep choping England bench.

Aribo too dey make me yori yori. The guy is good. Really deserves that no 10 jersey. And I'm happy he has been cap-tied finally

charlesemeka85:
Did aribo my boy play well?

The guy looks so young and cute

Has Nigeria been jinxed?

charlesemeka85:
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has strongly hinted that as many as six young players are in contention to be named in the starting line-up when his side tackle Benin in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Wednesday evening.

Leganes' Chidozie Awaziem is battling Ola Aina for a starting spot at right-back, while Samuel Chukwueze, Joe Aribo, Samuel Kalu and Victor Osimhen will be given a chance against the Squirrels provided they prove their fitness in the last training session on Tuesday evening.

Quizzed about the young players likely to start vs Benin, Rohr told reporters including allnigeriasoccer.com : ''I don't know how many young players will start because I have to see how they are after the traveling yesterday.

''What is sure is that we will have at least Awaziem or Ola, we will have Aribo if he is ready but he is not U23, we will have Osimhen who played on Saturday night, yesterday he was okay so I think he'll be ready.

''We have Chukwueze, he played only 45 minutes in his club so it is possible to start the game. Kalu played on Friday which is good so he has a chance to start.''

As for Nantes' Moses Simon, Rohr suggested that the winger may be rested as he has played too many games for his French club this season.

''Simon Moses played a lot, all the games for Nantes, but losing all of the them, the four last games. Perhaps he needs a little bit rest and play the second game, it is possible.

''We will check in the training how many of them will be ready, but I like to play with young and fresh players, this is our football - go forward to attack, to score the goals and to be all the time able to play our football with one, two, three touches with quick strikers.

''The young people are able to recover quickly, that's why I am not afraid of the fitness for tomorrow''.

But this Gernot Rohr dey try sha. He keeps track record of the club form and minutes played by our foreign players in their different leagues. He even knows players that are fit and not fit to play against Benin. If he can just do the same for our league in discovering good talents, he for don turn world class.

gamaliel9:
The team played better than what we saw against CIV....

Our midfield came out tops....

Confession time

Icon4s:
Can Imama win his first game outside of Nigerian Soil today?

My blooda. Help me ask ooo

Joebie:
Oya nwakali Na ur free kick

When you said this, I knew Nwakali would score

tbaba1234:
Nwakali has depreciated considerably

Qualifying for Olympics 2020 is by God's grace ooo

charlesemeka85:
Nigeria boss Gernot Rohr will make a late decision on whether to include Joe Aribo in his starting line-up for Wednesday's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin in Uyo.

Aribo reported for international duty on Tuesday morning after a long trip from the United Kingdom and Rohr has suggested that it will be difficult for the Glasgow Rangers midfielder to make his full competitive international debut as he could be suffering from tiredness.

Speaking at Tuesday's press conference, Rohr told reporters including allnigeriasoccer.com : ''Aribo traveled all night long from London to Lagos to Abuja and then arriving now, I have not even seen him yet. It will be very difficult for him to start the game.

''I want to see in the training session how he is physically, our training session is late at 6pm to give them opportunity to sleep this afternoon.''

London-born Aribo has emerged as one of the influential players in the Super Eagles team after the Africa Cup of Nations, scoring in back-to-back matches against Ukraine and Brazil.

''If Aribo is fit, of course now he is one of our key players, if he is not fit I don't want to take any risk for injury and we will decide in the last moment tomorrow if he can start the game or not

''We see that he's doing well in his club, even in the Europa League but this is a special situation now and we have to manage it,'' Rohr added.

Should he step out onto the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium turf against the Squirrels, even for one second, the former Charlton Athletic star will become cap-tied to Nigeria for life.

Cap-tie him before he changes his mind ooo.

TheSuperNerd:
True. I'm just looking at it more broadly.

Anyway, the Zambian XI is out and seeing Fashion Sakala, Patson Daka and Enoch Nwepu starting already makes this harder than envisaged.

.This game will be tough oo

Imama should be added to the English dictionary. For example : The U23 eagles played CIV and were imamad

[quote author=Abusule007 post=83966608]RSA 1 - 0 CIV FT
Our chance to qualify just got slimmed down [/quote
RSA top the group with 4pts 2 CIV 3pts 2 Zambia 1pt 1 Nigeria 0pt 1
Imama should be banned from coaching for life if he loses our next two matches.

Eartquake1:
The U23 coach is incept, we will miss a lot if we don't qualify for this Olympics

True Sir.
We have good players in that U23 team but I am very scared about the technical input of our coaches.

Meanwhile, Mali has been knocked out after they lost their second game to Cameroon 0-1.

Any info on Egypt v Ghana?
