Dedebanky85: We must not attack the Camerounians all out in that game. Instead we frustrate them by keeping possession and moving the ball continuously. With time, the Camerounians will lose organization and we can deal them decisive blows with incisive passing and clinical finishing. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Mickael2: You must not hold up play with body strength. When a striker who is light in weight gets the ball, he can drop deeper with the ball or evade his opponents with evasive skills, drawing the defenders off position. 5 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: Rohr carry and go. Do not mind the technical committee who lack ideas of the technical insights of team selection. Are the committee members going to analyze the opposition, come up with a strategy, train the players to fit the strategy and select the best for it. As I said, what does Dalung know in the United States of Nigeria. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Yes, that creative spark..... Creativity plus possession-based mobility in our plays. We must starve them of the ball and play an evasive game where we don't have to clash with their physical might. We have more technical players than physical and we must utilise that to great effect. Quick possession-based passing and Creative mobility of our forwards and midfielders will be greatly needed in that game and we got the players to execute that plan. Coming to set-pieces.... You are spot on with your observation. I must say that the Oliseh Era saw us make good improvements from set piece situations. We had an Efe Ambrose who was always winning those aerials in the opponent's area and scoring goals from them. Now in as much as I really don't like how Oliseh handled the team, I must give that short era of his kudos for making us a little more dangerous from set pieces. Now under Rohr... we need to get that back. We have the likes of Ekong and Balogun and a few tall midfielders like Ogu or Ndidi... who can always be aerial threats in the opponent's box when we have freekicks or Corners in our favour. So I really hope Rohr brings this back coz we saw it play out good a few times in the Oiliseh era. We haven't really seen such under Rohr. Truth is.... we need not approach the Camerounians with pressure. They are the ones under pressure and need more points than we do... our Job is to frustrate them and drag the game by keeping possession and hitting them with fine through balls from Mikel and also quick passing interchanges in cameroun's half so as to penetrate by evading their physical approach and bringing in our speed via our forwards in behind their muscular defenders like we saw Chile do. Chile's forwards and midfielders were all of average height and some quite short yet they outclassed Cameroun by avoiding going physical with them. They utilised their superior technical depth. We must do same and Sir TheGoodJoe in a reply to Sir Dedebanky85 just put in nicely in a nutshell comment. Similar to what I just tried explaining sentences ago. We have two big battles on our hands but we must realise that the aces still lie with us. Firstly, Let them come at us...... and let us just focus on controlling the game and starving them.... when they realise they really need to badly get on the ball, they are prone to break a chain in their defensive organization .... and then, that is when we hit them big time. ![]() Well shaa.... not as straightforward as it seems but we can work with this and its many branched scenarios. chrisooblog: 2 Likes |

TheSuperNerd:Just a quick remark @the bolded. The Chileans might appear smaller than the Camerounians but they have incredible stamina and power. They aren't shy to go physical and fight the towering Cameroun. Its not all about height and physic. The pitbul Gary Mendel is just about a tall dwarf (if there's anything like that), but I will put my money on him killing Vincent Aboubakar in a UFC cage fight. Inasmuch as we suggest quick and elusive players to battle Cameroun, due consideration must be given to battle harden players, who will roll up their sleeves and fight the Camerounians. I don't expect a pretty game, this is African football. Anything less, my hand no dey am oh. 4 Likes |

WORLD CUP DISASTER IN WAITING? VARS COULD RUIN FIFA'S 2018 TOURNAMENT By Peter Staunton ![]() Initial efforts to embed video assistant referees in the Confederations Cup suggest Gianni Infantino's plan will backfire spectacularly in Russia The Confederations Cup is a warm-up ahead of the World Cup in 2018 and the video assistance referee (VAR) system is going through its testing stages here in Russia with FIFA president Gianni Infantino said to be insistent about its usage in the main tournament next year. If any message is to be fed back to Infantino it’s that much more work needs to be done to have everyone prepared for the widespread implementation of the VAR system at the top level. Liverpool finalising £35m Salah deal If we don’t see an improvement in the calls that are currently being made then bringing it in would do more to spoil the World Cup than any other decision. What occurred in the game between Cameroon and Chile could only be described as chaos. It gets to the root of the current issue around VARs: on-field referee’s doubting their own decision making capabilities. This would appear to go against IFAB’s philosophy regarding VARs of “minimum interference, maximum benefit”. The question that VARs seek to answer is not “was the decision right?”, but rather "was the decision clearly wrong?”. In the case of Eduardo Vargas’ goal at the end of the first half – even after multiple replays – there is simply no justifiable way in which you could say that the original decision to award the goal was clearly wrong. If referees are going to start demanding replays for every marginal call then we are in for a disaster World Cup. ![]() However, we should not rush to judgement considering that VARs are new for players, coaches and referees alike. Everyone needs time to get used to it. Some are further along the process than others. VARs were used to great effect in a recent friendly between France and Spain but that was because the team of German officials all had “offline” training before the game. All Bundesliga officials have benefited from that in the year before the VARs roll out in German football. FIFA has got to make sure that its full list of officials for the World Cup can do similar before forcing it onto the agenda. If the game is not ready then we should overlook its implementation until it is. "This system needs time to get it right,” said the Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi. “We are still in the testing phase and it is true that feelings can be difficult because we are used to a different situation in our world of football. ![]() "So we have to wait and see. Maybe after some time it will get better. The first half incident created some distress but then also because we are not used to it. "I would say that such technology can bring us more justice in football but right now it's still a little difficult for the players. Even if it's the right decision it still has an impact on their emotions.” Thirteen national federations or competition organisers have either been participating or have applied to be part of the trials, meaning potential World Cup officials will be relatively inexperienced in working with VARs by the time the tournament rolls around. We don’t expect the final word on whether VARs will be used at World Cup 2018 until next March. What we cannot afford is another situation like the Vargas goal, when a perfectly legitimate goal is scored and acknowledged as such by the on-field referee only to be discarded in the mistaken belief it was offside.

When a football man talks, you cannot help but listen. Respect to you Mr Mastoroudes. He talked like someone who followed the after game analysis on this thread. ................. Mastoroudes : Super Eagles Have Capacity To Overcome Bafana Setback; Must Fight Cameroon ‘Fire To Fire ’ By Nnamdi Ezekute: Veteran Nigerian football administrator and onetime boss of Leventis United FC of Ibadan has predicted that the Super Eagles will stage a strong comeback following a disgraceful 2-0 defeat to Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Nigeria host Cameroon in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier on August 28, looking to win and extend lead in the Group B of the African qualifying zone. Mastoroudes, slams Gernot Rohr's team for confronting South Africa without grit and losing disgracefully at home, but believes the Nigerian side has the capacity to bounce back on winning note if the coach and players get back to work with the hard lessons learnt. "I am still optimistic they will bounce back. Yes, we lost the first match of the AFCON qualifiers, but we haven't lost everything. There are still many matches to play. We were wounded but we're not out yet," Mastoroudes tells Completesportsnigeria.com. "Cameroon is the next game. We must resolve to stand up to them fire to fire. "I saw Cameroon against Chile at the FIFA Confederations Cup. They have speed, great physique, height and power. It is a very important game to play, and we must win it to qualify for the World Cup. "I am convinced that Nigeria can fight well and win when they have their back against the wall." The Greek-born Mastorodes continues on his desire to see the national team his adopted country bounce back from the loss to South Africa. "We did not play well in that match against South Africa, so losing it was inevitable," reckons. "I felt that the players approached it like a friendly match. It's like they didn't realize the importance of of the game. I was very disappointed with their performance. Like I've always said, the new crop of Nigerian players coming through have the capacity to go far, but unfortunately they didn't show that promise against South Africa. "I notices too many weaknesses in the team against South Africa. For example, the two full-backs were so much below par. "The Eagles initially held the game but lacked creativity to to last the distance and then allowed South Africa to come up in the match. "Going forward, Moses Simon was holding the ball, doing all sorts of tricks, but his final touches were so pathetic. Ahmed Musa was a disappointment when he came in. Most of us believe Musa is fast, but many African defenders are faster than him. His speed was completely neutralized by the Bafana defenders. "Iheanacho was played completely out of position. We need a top class centre-forward. The forwards were substandard against South Africa. I did not see one Nigerian forward that I liked in the match. "I was also very disappointed with Arsenal boy, Alex Iwobi. He didn't play well in that match. "The only player who impressed in the midfield was Onazi. He fought like a lion, but unfortunately, he was on his own. "I think we missed players like Mikel Obi in the midfield. And of course, we missed Victor Moses. He is such an important player for us. Without him against South Africa, the Super Eagles lost 50 per cent of his capacity. "Going by the selection that played South Africa, I can say we don't have a team. We should just forget that match and concentrate on the future games. "I have confidence in the capacity of the talents Nigeria have. We need to work very hard going forward. Hard work is the alfa and omega of every team. I believe we can improve. We should look for and get the right players to man the positions we have found to be weak. We have the players." He also challenges Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr to brace up with the lessons he must have picked from his howlers against South Africa. "Yes, the coach is to blame when the team loses, but it's a very good lesson for him. When people talked highly of him – about having not lost a match, I said good, the team must play more matches to test him properly. He may not have expected the players to play badly like they did even with his selection lapses, but it's a lesson for him going forward," he says. "It's up to the coach now. He should get the right players for the positions. We have them out there. The team must work harder and play African football. This is important. They must play African football, not Oyinbo football. We have the talented players who will play that brand of football and make the difference." http://www.completesportsnigeria.com/mastoroudes-super-eagles-capacity-overcome-bafana-setback-must-fight-cameroon-fire-fire/ 1 Like |

They have stamina and power but so also did the Camerounians. The difference physically was clearly size and Height which the camerounians had in abundance and high level over the Chileans... since they are both matched in stamina and power. So Chile did play an evasive game but ofcos their defenders had to be both physical and technical with the towering Camerounians. In the attacking third, Chile were all about technicality and evasive techniques. In midfield, Vidal did most of the physical fights... in addition to his box-to-box dutiee allowing Aranguiz and Diaz focus more on orchestrating Chile's plays from the middle. In all, it boils down to Character and resilience from each and every player who will dorn the green and white for Nigeria to execute our game plans coz Cameroun will want us to play to their physical tunes all game and we must not allow that. P.S: Speaking of battle hardened players... This where the likes of Mikel, Moses, Balogun and even Success come in... Mikel can play physical and technical... Moses' stamina is world class bad-ass... Success is a beast.... Balogun is our best and most battle-hardened defender.... So the generals will be back to lead the young troops. ![]() goldfish80: |

We play to our strength. Not to the strength of the Camerounians. Going forward with a power tussle will be a suicidal move. They will kill us. Hold the ball and the Camerounians will foul you. Anyone the referee does not blow is a clear case of counter attack with players off position. The solution is to starve the Camerounians of the ball.

They have more super physical players than we have. Talking about players of power and stamina who also got fine technique.. we got Balogun, Mikel, Moses, Ekong, Ndidi, Onazi, Ogu... just to mention a few.

Mikel : I Will Return To Action In Few Weeks By Johnny Edward ![]() John Mikel Obi has hinted that he will be back in action for his Chinese Super League club, Tianjin Teda in few weeks, and later for Super Eagles of Nigeria, reports Completesportsnigeria.com . Mikel has been out of action for the past three months after undergoing a surgery to repair the abdominal strain he sustained while in action for Tianjin Teda. The former Chelsea midfielder shared a short video of him via his Instagram page @mikel_john_obi as he did a ball work, pacing in different directions with a set of cones. "Few more weeks and I'm back on the pitch with my boys #TianjinTeda #SuperEagles #recovery," Mikelwrote beneath a video he posted on his Instagram page. Mikel's last appearance for Tianjin Teda was in their 2-0 victory over Chongqing Lifan in April in a Chinese Super League clash. He missed his club side's last 13 games and was sorely missed for the Super Eagles who lost 2-0 to South Africa in Uyo in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

Akwa Ibom Commissioner Demands Apology from NFF ![]() Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Charles Udoh, insisted on Tuesday that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) should apologise to the government and people of the state, if reports in the media that Super Eagles next home match has been moved away from Uyo. Speaking in his office on the reasons advanced for the purported moving of future Super Eagles matches away from Uyo as a result of the recent 2 – 0 loss to the Bafana Bafana of South Africa, Mr. Udoh described them as weak and baseless. The Commissioner maintained that Eagles had the best of support from the government and people of Akwa Ibom State, and that the NFF should not have contemplated such a move, it at all it did. According to him, “the 30,000 capacity facility in Uyo remains the best maintained stadium in Nigeria and ranks among the best in the world.” He stressed that “at no point in time were the Nigerian players booed throughout the duration of the match against South Africa, as would have been the case in other venues.” On the distance from Le’Meridien Ibom Hotel to the Stadium, as one of the reasons for the poor result posted by the Eagles, Mr. Udoh said it could not have been, because the Bafana Bafana team was also lodged at the same facility and covered the same distance before the match. He stated that on the contrary, the Ibom Le’Meridien Hotel & Golf Resort was a nice environment for good team bonding. According to Mr. Udoh, “if truly the next Super Eagles Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier against Cameroon, earlier scheduled for Uyo, has been moved to Port Harcourt, as reported by a section of the sporting press, then the NFF would have to apologise to the government and people of Akwa Ibom.” He recalled that it was at the same stadium in Uyo that the Super Eagles played brilliant football and defeated the Fennecs of Algeria, stressing that the support from football fans at the magnificent stadium has always been massive. The Information Commissioner emphasised that instead of throwing blames in the wrong direction, the NFF should critically analysis the last match, with a view to identifying lapses and make adequate preparations for the next matches. However, feelers from NFF’s Glass House in Abuja revealed that no decision has been taken on moving the Nigeria versus Cameroon World Cup qualifier from Uyo to Port Harcourt. “I don’t know where the story of moving Super Eagles match against Cameroon from Uyo coming from. This is news to me. As far as we are concerned no decision has been taken to move the match from Uyo,” a top level NFF official told THISDAY last night.

TheGoodJoe: nice point, but you know playing a possession based game requires a lot of mobility, on other words it means our fullback have to be moving constantly to provide passing options, now what happens when we have a misplaced pass? those Cameroonians are seriously fast, at some point against Chile I thought their feet weren't touching the ground when they started running. there was this particular incident that I want to highlight, I think it was that defender wearing a long hand that misplaced a pass before three seconds Aboubakar was already in front of the goalkeeper and if not for a lucky leg from the goalkeeper and sheer utter luck it would have either been a goal or an own goal. now this affects us because we don't really have possession based guys in our team. we all know Onazi will start, I don't really trust Echejile's ability to maintain possession, if he receives twenty balls I almost expect him to lose five and against those quick guys any misplaced pass is surely going to create an imbalance. So I don't really think we should approach the game with a Barcelona-style possession based game rather with a Van-Gaal style possession based game, that is one were we retain possession in our own half mainly so that we are never caught out of position because we lack pace to deal with them 2 Likes |

I am too young to play for Nigeria now, I won't say too young but I am concentrating on my studies,'' said Ezekwem to allnigeriasoccer.com . ''I don't like rating myself. David Alaba is my role model at Bayern because I love the way he plays.'' The 16-year-old Ezekwem featured for the youth teams of SC Freising, SE Freising and 1860 Munich before he was acquired by Bayern Munich. He was one of the most impressive players for The Bavarians at the Puskás Cup held in Hungary this month. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23475 1 Like |

Soon-To-Be-Married Edomwonyi Refuses To Rule Out Rizespor Exit This Summer ![]() Bright Edomwonyi has refused to rule out an exit from relegated Turkish club Rizespor in the summer transfer window, allnigeriasoccer.com understands. The former Flying Eagles invitee joined Rizespor in the January transfer window from Sturm Graz, and it is thought that there's no relegation clause in the contract he signed that will allow him leave the club as a free agent this summer. Rizespor are hoping to retain the services of Edomwonyi, but he is set to hold showdown talks with the management of the club when he returns to Turkey for pre-season. The striker previously represented Austrian teams Red Bull Salzburg, FC Liefering, FC Wacker and Hartberg. Edomwonyi will tie the knot with his girlfriend Esosa Osayantin in a ceremony that will take place at Living Faith Church Ikorodu, Lagos on July 1, 2017. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23476 |

Joebie:Hmmm i read your beautiful post and that of Supernerd,but my submission is this,we already have a team that beat Zambia and Algeria but due to injuries,players like Ikeme,Mikel,Balogun were out,also Moses was un available,Omeruo couldn't make d starting lineup The South Africa match have come and gone but we learnt a lot but d technical crew learnt more than us,there should be no emotions or sentiments in their own analysis of things,is either they performed or kick out. Whether we like it or not Cameroon game we be decisive coz of age rivalry,being Africa champion is a plus for them,also being a leader in our group is a great advantage to us,all we need is to go back to basics coz we started well under Rohr but something went wronged against south Africa and must be addressed without sentiments. Rohr first assignment was Tanzania match and later Zambia but against Algeria he brought out his XI team,namely Ikeme but injured,Akpeyi came as a replacement,Omeruo as RB,Echiejele as LB,Onazi as DM,Balogun and Ekong as CB,Iwobi at d right midfield,Victor Moses at d left side,Mikel and Etebor doing it at central midfield and Nacho doing it upfront. The match against South Africa saw lot of changes especially due to injuries to some players and this brought imbalanced to d team and Rohr failed in this aspect,for instance d pairing of Onazi and Ndidi was an eyesore,it is not compulsory for d two to make starting lineup,despite Kante of Chelsea rise,he is still a second fiddle in French national team,Benzema despite wearing Real shirt,find it difficult to break into French national team of late. Despite the presence of Onazi,Ndidi which i believe is enough for now,some are clamouring for Esiti,whereas Agu is in d waiting,do we need to invite all this guys coz i realized they are all DM.Instead of inviting Agu and Esiti we need to give room for attacking midfielder like Ajagun or put Iwobi in his right place so that absence of Mikel w not be felt. If care is not taking Rohr we still get it wrong against Cameroon coz looking for a striker at this time to prosecute Cameroon match is out of it,we already have Nacho,Kayode,he should just add Ideye who is already part of d team and move on. Rohr should just revisit his XI against Algeria with omission of Akpeyi and probably Iwobi with Ideye coming to d line up to give Nacho chance to do his things. My line up against Cameroon is Ikeme in goal and 4-3-3 formation with Omeruo, Echiejele,Balogun,Ekong in d defence,Onazi,Etebor,Mikel in d midfield,Moses,Ideye,Iheanacho in d attacks,just hope no injury set in,this team we do it against Cameroon. 1 Like |
