andrew444:
Ivory Coast player or which one ?

Please educate me as I don't understand

forgiveness:
When did I say such?

Humility017:
exactly..
our defense saved us today.

I am so surprised I am expecting the team to make an improvement on the play against burundi but to my disappointment it was not so.....

mikel would have even done better today than iwobi...

I am not really pleased with rohr benching mikel...
one match is not enough to judge a player...rather he should be allowed to play the CM role...and bring in etebo for him later

andrew444:
Lol no be me o

Even if this team gets knocked out in the 2nd round or quarter finals, I will love the nff to keep faith with Rohr. He has his misgivings but the man have really assembled a crop of players that has the qualities to be make the super eagles great again.

Many will say it's just Burundi but it's been long I noticed the cohension and togetherness in this team compared to our previous teams. Also his boldness to throw in young talents in is signs of bravery.

He has stood his ground on the case of local based players in the league by insisting that the countries best players is based in Europe which is the gospel truth unlike our indigineous coaches who believed they can turn an enyimba midfielder to be better than mikel or ndidi. To be honest Rohr have really impressed me since coming on as the teams coach. The future is very bright

After all is said and done, there is NO RECOVERABLE OIL in the lake Chad basin. Insanity is described as doing exactly the same thing repeatedly while hoping for a different result.

Fools

Mickael2:
I do not think both incidents were remotely close

in the final, Sissoko was pointing to whoever that was and IMHO, Mane sighted his extended arm and struck it, smart play from Mane but Sissoko's hand should not be there, it gives a whole new meaning to 'unnatural position'. I can't remember the ball hitting his body before his arm, it went from Mane's boot to his arm, penalty anyday.

In Rojo's instance, he was alone and he jumped with his arm in a position that allows to stability in midair, his arm by the way is barely inches away from his head and wasn't exactly above his head, so when he headed the ball it was impossible to get his arm out of the way, however that may have still been a penalty(some refs may have given it) but recall that the ball then kindly dropped for Ighalo in a position better than a pk, advantage played and he missed, that's that. So two reasons why the PK was not given:
1) It was not a clear offence and in that case the benefit goes to the offending player.
2) we had an even better advantage

Jarus:
Exactly. Nigerians have forgotten we have also been a beneificiary of a VAR penalty call.

Cowards die many times before their deaths indeed.

Bros, this is women football. Any team can beat any team on any given day!
And besides this German team isn't even that strong either.


O pari

isan:
yes Nigeria u15 team will beat France.....meanwhile the bookies are not giving us any chances against France

Humility017:

I want the AFCON trophy.
rohr and his guys better win or steal the trophy...which ever one I just WANT the trophy

Icon4s:
You cannot be asking me this

Icon4s:
Ighalo and Onuachu are not strikers with exceptional abilities. Osimhen though talented but is still young and still much work in progress.

I know people may want to blame it on supplies from the midfield and wings. But, even with the quality of our Wingers and midfield, our attack is not something to brag about.

Icon4s:
My brother if you ask me, We are going to this AFCON with a blunt attack.

andrew444:
Agreed on what you just said,despite our arguement some days back

Ukraine wanted to win that game but they only got a draw its simple and clear

Oasis007:




That are my Words.

They are average at best (good), not a star-studded Squad as many of you are portraying it. It's left for you to keep getting yourself confused, by looking for what's not lost.

Oasis007:


Check well Bro! We have good Squad, talented Players I said. I didn't say we have a star-studded Squad.

Good is more or less same as average Bro! Try again pls with your Wayoism.

Oasis007:


Rohr keeps telling us that the Squad is young. The Squad is till gelling..... Lol! Honestly we have a good Squad, talented Players are in the Squad but seems Rohr has no Balls to take big Risks.

Omonbala has spoken the bitter truth. The Squad is average, but we are happily believing they've reached the stardoms already. ChrisKels does open our Eyes that mostly our Players are better off as Carpenters, alas! He's being advised to change Nationality. Lol!

tbaba1234:
Ofoborh was one of the brightest spots against Ukraine. In the next few years, he could be a super eagles player.

Those under 17 midfielders still play like amateurs. Especially the number 14, Olaniyan.

Marjoribanks:
You don't read between the lines.
You just dey jaboo!
[/b]I simply meant it's no big deal scoring 22 goals in the French league.

forgiveness:
You seem to lack comprehension skills. Go back to the post and read slowly.

forgiveness:
But Chisom Egbuchulam, Godwin Obaje, Sunday Odey, Ibrahim Alhassan, Sikiru Olatunbosun, Simeon Nwankwo, Lokosa, Nwaekeme, Chidiebere Nwakali, Kelechi Nwakali etc were all qualified?

forgiveness:
Were these players not qualified to make the team as at then?

forgiveness:
They don't have other better options.

iSlayer2:
I'm gonna be blunt. I think the argument on including Awoniyi is mostly biased driven. Yeah.

Awoniyi has not had a great season by any standards. During the first half of the season he was nowhere, we feared for the boy's career. It was only during the new loan at his former loan club Mouscron that he banged in a few decisive ones here and there but still nowhere near that top level at all.

Now put him side by side with the other attackers invited. He can't compete an established striker like Ighalo Onuachu has had a great season and when eventually he was invited he put in a convincing performance. He can't even compete with Osimhen who plays in the same league. Osimhen has been a monster. Down to Iheanacho, based on pedigree, Iheanacho has it going for him. You can't invite an unproven Awoniyi who has not had a great season in place of a tested Iheanacho.

I would suggest someone else performing at a decent level be invited in place of Iheanacho. Currently. Awoniyi is not that person.
