Humility017:
yeah...same with the LB Nura Abdullahi in AS roma

TheSuperNerd:
Nura is a RB...

TheGoodJoe:


I see Cameroon coming at us with full force. I still do not know what Broos thought when he pressed us high. That was a disaster approach. Even more surprising that Rohr expected it.

May be the South African loss created an illusion that we were weak. I expect Cameroon to come all out again and agree we should adopt the same approach. We should exploit gaps created when the press and send daggers to their hearts with accurate counters.

OMANBALA1:
Yea, I know most of you have suddenly forgotten about the most gifted attacking midfielder we have right now,Joel Obi.....lol. Etebor might not even go to the world cup if we qualify....lol

TheGoodJoe:


Yes, but that Manchester United thread was opened in 2012. Football betting season 11 opened January this year. The momentum and traffic there is crazy.

TheSuperNerd:
Hey ladies and Gentlemen.... and Guests... Yes you! yooooouuu the guests... those number of guests who view this thread too.... we appreciate you.... Muuaaahhh....

Plsss read this interview which I find finny because of Balogun's answer.... even now he doesn't wanna hurt anyone....

Leon Balogun – It Would Have Been Hard To Opt For Nigeria If Germany Had Called Me Up



Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun said he has no regret and he feels proud playing for the Super Eagles of Nigeria even though he would have love to play for Germany.

Balogun made this assertion in an interview with OmaSports monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com when he was asked if he would have still opt for Nigeria if Germany has called him up same time as Nigeria.

Born in Germany to Nigerian parents, the Mainz 05 man who revealed he has always love the idea of playing for Nigeria since he was a kid, admitted that he would have probably quit international football if both nations have called him up almost the same time.

Popular Nigerian journalist Oma Akatugba who conducted the interview quizzed the Germany defender on if he would have still played for Nigeria, if Germany had called him up and his response showed his love for both nations.


” I can’t really tell because I’m very proud of both sides and for me while I was young and I was playing those video games, I always prefer to play with Nigeria”, Balogun told Omasports TV


“Because when you remember your first question how it was for me to grow up in Germany, you feel the difference sometimes, that’s what I said, and I think that is the point that connects me to Nigeria more because even though I’m German and Nigerian , that’s why you always have this strong connection to the other side.

” So this is very been difficult (to choose between both nations , if they had called him up same time) because as a footballer you want to be successful, and we don’t have to lie about it, Germany always have the assurance they’re going to go far.

“But this is a very good question because as I said in video games I always prefer Nigeria, I also had dreams of playing for the Super Eagles one day, of course with the successes in Nigeria, in Germany you see better opportunities.

” I can’t really tell you because I would have been proud to have the opportunity to play for both but if I had the choice to say Germany or Nigeria, I probably would have said I don’t want to hurt nobody. I’m staying out of both teams”.

Nigeria face FIFA sanction after Ighalo yellow
By Colin Udoh, KweséESPN


Nigeria could face additional sanction from FIFA for Odion Ighalo's yellow card after his goal celebration.

Ighalo lifted his shirt to reveal a message that and was instantly booked booked by Egyptian referee Ghead Grisha.

"He told me that the message on my shirt was about religion because it's 'thank you Jesus'," Ighalo told KweséESPN.

Displaying unsanctioned commercial, political, religious or personal slogans or statements in undershirts are outlawed by FIFA and subject to additional sanction, mainly fines.

The most recent incident of a similar violation is Qatar, who warmed up for their World Cup qualifier against South Korea in June wearing T-shirts with the picture of Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to show their support after several Gulf nations and Egypt cut ties with Qatar and imposed economic sanctions on Doha for allegedly supporting "extremism".

Referee Grisha is expected to include the incident in his report for further action by FIFA. Ighalo, who hobbled off with an ice pack after a barnstorming performance in Nigeria's 4-0 destruction of Cameroon on Sunday, has assured KweséESPN that it is nothing serious.

"It was just a tight hamstring, but I am fine now," Ighalo said.
That will be cause for a collective breath of relief across the country as the Super Eagles prepare to face Cameroon in the second of the twin fixtures on Monday.

Well... goodluck... lemme go engage Sir Omanbala1 on more analytical discussions... ciao Loverboy...

Napoleon55:
this is perhaps the only thing I hate in football,whoever that have introduced this ideal into football is a satanist,I don't care,this rule alone is capable of destroying this beautiful game, it should b scraped away.
I use to see many attributes to Jesus in the past whenever a goal is scored,what has happened to football? very soon they will even stop players Iheanacho from pointing heavenwards when celebrating a goal,if they have not done it already.
no wonder Ighallo was so furious n pissed off.

Broos: Super Eagles Will See Real Indomitable Lions On Monday
By Nurudeen Obalola in Yaounde




Cameroon coach Hugo Broos has vowed that his team will be radically improved from their toothless performance against Nigeria on Friday, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

The Indomitable Lions lost 4-0 to the Super Eagles in Uyo on Friday night in the first of their double-header in the qualifying series for the Russia 2018 World Cup.

The two teams meet again on Monday night here in Yaounde, kick-off at 6pm at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo.

“We were really bad on Friday,” Broos admitted during his pre-match press conference at the Stade Omnisport, which Completesportsnigeria.com was the only Nigerian outlet to attend.

“It was very difficult for us, but we saw no sign it would turn out like that. We were very good in the first 20, 25 minutes and the Nigerians were afraid even if we didn’t create many chances, then the game suddenly changed.

“The match was disastrous for us. It was a great disappointment for us and our fans. In the dressing room after the game, we all accepted that it was catastrophic.

“But tomorrow will be a different game. We know we can’t afford to play like we did on Friday. We will show the real Cameroon tomorrow and make our fans proud.”

Broos said his players have promised him not to disappoint.

“The players will be playing for national pride and honour tomorrow,” Broos, who led Cameroon to the Africa Cup of Nations title in February, added.

“It’s entirely a different game and the players are up for it. They will be ready for Nigeria tomorrow. What you saw on Friday was not the real Cameroon. We have to do something good tomorrow, give it everything we have.”

Nigeria lead African qualifying Group B of the Russia 2018 World Cup with nine points from three matches, while Cameroon have only two points.

Joebie:
Those ones u don't know what's on their mind, thy can be dangerous. At least safarigirl you can fight and make up with her in so many ways hahaha

Nigerdeltaboi:
sorry sir

Icon4s:


See how Algeria can still qualify:

Algeria Vs Zambia. Algeria wins.
Cameroon Vs Nigeria. Cameroon wins.

Cameroon Vs Algeria. Algeria wins.
Nigeria Vs Zambia. Draw or Zambia wins.

The final fixtures:
Algeria Vs Nigeria
Zambia Vs Cameroon.

Going into the final fixture, from the results of round 4 and 5 matches Nigeria could just be 2 points ahead of Algeria.

So if Algeria wins against Nigeria they qualify for the World Cup.

The Algerians would have also done this their best case scenario calculation and so will aim at beating Zambia. This could work things out better for us if we beat Cameroon tomorrow.

TheGoodJoe:


Fine article by Osas.

Liked Balogun's answer. Loves both sides of his roots. Attached to wanting Nigeria to win by highlighting preferring to play with Nigeria in his video games. (That shows where his heart truly lies) But, does not deny the opportunity of achieving great international Heights playing for Germany which makes it a tempting offer. Perfect answer.

Joebie:
One thing I know for sure. We don't need to change anything, and they will be down to 9 men before 90 mins.. I like their boast. My prediction, 4-0 again for us

FabioPeter:
Our super Eagles played well but to the Cameroonian had played badly as well.
Other than the commentary another annoying aspect of the game was show boating by the goal keeper Ezenwa. He was tested twice and on both occasion he fumbled. We need Eyeama.

safarigirl:


You did not come here to talk of football, so, keep moving. Don't come back if you are talking beliefs and values. This is not that kind of thread




Just in case these guys are not hung over, I would like the following to line-up

Ezenwa

Aina...Ekong...Balogun...Elderson

Ndidi...Onazi...Mikel

Victor Moses...Ighalo...Simon


However, in case their indiscipline was in excess...I expect the following line-up

Ezenwa (Alampasu dey like who go like party)

Shehu(good boy)...Leon...Ebuehi...Elders on

Ogu (Ndidi go like faaji)...Mikel...Etebo (Onazi sef dey like party man)

Moses...Ighalo(Jesus baby)...Kelechi (Simon dey like party starter)


Come to think of it, was Friday not Ekong's birthday? Dem no dey do party if person get birthday ni? I endorse their party even more sef, how will somebody have birthday and they won't party? When no be Deeper Life e be

Joebie:
Nigeria will win at least two penalty kicks and Cameroon will be red carded. Onazi has to be very careful or he will be our only casualty.. That's what I've foreseen

TheSuperNerd:
What the??!!!! Another money rain??!!! for just goals?? can't take this anymore mehn!!! I am going to Yaounde tonight undercover...... I gotta play.. I will make up my mind about which player to rob of his place and wear his mask and body form on.... I got their clone features in my labs mehn... damn! you say what? how much again? Chaaiiiii.... this is too much! Hey Yara Yara... what are you still doing here?? will you go grab my boots and special disguise outfit... time to go make some money mehn!!!!
