Henry Onyekuru on not being eligible for a work permit: “Anderlecht knew that I needed the 2018 FIFA World Cup to get a work permit for England. By not making me play, the chances of going to Russia were nil. So, I could not go to the Premier League.” “Maybe that is how Anderlecht hopes to keep me for another year. A ridiculous reasoning - I can go anywhere. It is now certain that I will not stay. I will go abroad. Somewhere I get respect.” (Source: HLN) (Source: HLN) 5 Likes |

Rohr is not satisfied with our full backs. Rohr Names The One Super Eagles Player That Impressed Vs DRC & Those That Flopped Published: May 29, 2018 Rohr Names The One Super Eagles Player That Impressed Vs DRC & Those That Flopped Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has admitted that Crotone frontman Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo impressed him so much in the 1-1 draw with Democratic Republic of Congo yesterday. Without mentioning their names, the German emphasized that he's not satisfied with the performance of the fullbacks, and he might be referring to Monaco's Elderson Echiejile and Chelsea starlet Ola Aina. ''I was satisfied with the performance of Simy, center forward, because we didn't have such a profile until yet and now we found it. It's interesting,'' Rohr told reporters, including allnigeriasoccer.com, post-match. ''This game, we saw also that we have some problems with our fullbacks but we will work on it. ''We have another few days to be ready and to have the team, Victor Moses, Obi Mikel and Ighalo second of June in London, so I think the team will be better than today but it was interesting to see everybody play today. '' Apart from their next friendly against England, the Super Eagles will face Czech Republic on June 6 before their trip to Russia for the 2018 World Cup. http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=27941 |

Croatia Striker Kramaric: We Must Win First World Cup Game Vs Super Eagles May 29, 2018 2:25 pm By David Meshioye: Croatia striker Andrej Kramaric says picking three points against the Super Eagles is key to his country’s chances of making progress in Group D of the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup. Got something to say? The let your voice be heard! Back Pass *Sport related topics only* In a chat with sportnet.rtl.hr, the Hoffenheim striker admitted that playing against Nigeria will be a stroll in a park, adding that he expects a tough and cagey game against the former African champions. “The first match against Nigeria is the focus of attention, and three points from that match would mean a lot,” former Leicester City striker Kramaric said. “We are now putting finishing touches to our first game against Nigeria, which is a very good team and it will certainly be a very difficult and interesting game. The first game is the most important thing, because with it we will have the chance of qualifying from the group. “More and more, we all had a great season behind us, we are all eager, motivated and know what we want. The first goal is to qualify from the group, and after that everything is possible,. “We all know that best teams do not always win, that is why we need a little luck. Everything about our team was great before qualification, and we hope that it will remain so when the World Cup begins.” Argentina and Iceland are the other teams in the group. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/croatia-striker-kramaric-we-must-win-first-world-cup-game-vs-super-eagles/ |

BREAKING: Rohr Drops Akpeyi, Moses Simon, 3 Others Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles Technical Adviser, on Tuesday wielded the big axe as he dropped Goalkeeper Daniels Akpeyi, injured Moses Simon, Chidozie Awaziem, Kano Pillars Junior Lokosa and Stephen Eze. He will take recuperating Goalkeeper Carl Ikeme to Russia as the unregistered 24th player. 25 players will leave for London on Wednesday with two player remaining to be dropped. He will name his 23-man list on June 4, two days after England friendly. https://independent.ng/breaking-rohr-drops-akpeyi-moses-simon-3-others/amp/ |

Na true? 7 Takeaways From Super Eagles – DR CONGO Clash May 29, 2018 11:31 AM Completesportsnigeria.com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU presents seven major talking points from Nigerian Super Eagles versus Democratic Republic of Congo friendly clash at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt on Monday, May 28 2018. 1. Uzoho Proved He Is Ready For The Big Task Got something to say? The let your voice be heard! Back Pass *Sport related topics only* Since his debut appearance for the Super Eagles in a friendly game against Argentina last November,( as half time substitute for Daniel Akpeyi), Francis Uzoho has mannned the goal for the three-time African champions against Poland, Serbia and Democratic Republic of Congo. Though, there were divided opinions on his performance in those games, against the Congolese, he looked solid and ready for the number one job in Russia. The Deportivo La Coruna of Spain goalie made three key saves and commanded his area well unlike in the games against Poland and Serbia. 2. No Mikel Obi, No Super Eagles? Super Eagles inspirational captain, John Mikel Obi, didn’t feature in the team’s previous two games going into the game against Democratic Republic of Congo. His absence was badly felt in those games as the team lacked a proper leader with no proper coordination in their play. In his absence again against the Congolese, the trio of Ogenyi Onazi, Joel Obi and Kelechi Iheanacho failed to stamp their authority in the game and the opponent clearly dominate the midfield. Mikel’s presence and form will undoubtedly play a key role on how far the team will go in Russia. 3. ‘Oyinbo Wall’ Looked Shaky Again The once reliable ‘Oyinbo wall’ combination of William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun was once again exposed by the Congolese who made them work harder than expected in the game. With the duo expected to face stronger opponents in Russia, the fans of the Super Eagles can expect more nervy moments at the World Cup. 4. Simy Nwankwo Showed Promise On His Debut Though he was isolated up front for most of the game, and lacked quality service from the midfielders, lanky forward, Simy Nwankwo, showed that he has a future in the Super Eagles with his impressive performance. He was unlucky not to be on the score sheet. His well struck shot hit the post in the first half and he also had a well placed header after the break saved by the Congolese goalkeeper. 5. Poor Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium Turf Affected Super Eagles’ Performance It is difficult to fathom why the Nigeria Football Federation settled for the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium as venue for this game as against the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium which hosted the team’s home matches in the qualifiers for the World Cup. The pitch was in bad shape and didn’t give the players the chance to express themselves. It also exposed the players to the danger of copping injuries which could as well affect their chances of playing at the World Cup. No wonder some of the players preferred to play safe in the game. 6. Echiejile Looked Like a Spent Force Super Eagles left-back Elderson Echiejile spent 45 minutes on the pitch and hardly impressed as he was pinned back by the Congolese forwards. Ola Aina looked more lively after replacing him and it is hard to see the latter earning a berth in Russia on the basis of this performance. 7. Ebuehi Not In Abdullahi’s Class In The Right-Back The Benfica new signing is one of the highly rated defenders in the team, but on the basis of his showing against Dr Congo, didn’t prove he is good enough to pick a shirt ahead of the Bursaspor defender Shehu Abdullahi in the right-back position. Ebuehi lacked the calmness and overlapping ability of Abdullahi https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/7-takeaways-from-super-eagles-dr-congo-clash/ |

Akpeyi may be shock exclusion from World Cup, Rohr drops stars in Abuja May 29, 2018, 7:53 am Daniel Akpeyi South Africa-based goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi may be a shock omission from the World Cup as officials informed that coach Gernot Rohr will announce the players he will drop from his 30-man provisional squad. Plateau United goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye has shone in training and there are now strong indications, he will be considered ahead of Akpeyi, who at a time was the country’s No.2. The former Warri Wolves goalkeeper was also a cover for Emmanuel Daniel at the 2016 Rio Olympics where Nigeria won bronze. Rohr will announce the players who will not fly out with the squad to England. NPFL leading scorer Junior Lokosa had a decent debut against DR Congo, but he will be one of the players to be dropped. Other players likely to get the chop are Ola Aina, Uche Agbo, Stephen Eze and Chidozie Awaziem. http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2018/05/29/akpeyi-may-be-shock-exclusion-from-world-cup-rohr-drops-stars-in-abuja/ |

On Uzoho “It’s an indication (he could be No 1),” Rohr admitted. “He hasn’t played too much with us as he came after the World Cup qualifiers “We wanted to see the young goalkeeper play for the first time in Nigeria “I think he did well, he did what he had to do.” |

So much talks about so many things but I think: 1. If Rohr is following this thread, the dude would have resigned by now cuz too many conflicting opinions and I hope NFF is not like this thread 2. We should see beyond the WC, so what happens if we exit at first round or we get to the finals? Nff should retain Rohr (if he's interested) to build a youthful well blended team and raise a formidable replacement from those working with him Up until now, Rohr has shown he's man on a mission though not there yet but he's heading in the right direction. I wish our darling SE the best at the WC 1 Like |

He times is runs and movements perfectly coupled with great positioning which makes his recovery amazing. How I wish we can have his stat for yesterday's game. Dude didn't put a foot wrong aside the moment he wanted to dribble and gave away possession. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
