TheSuperNerd: Sentimental he is, aren't we all and yes sometimes can get overly exuberant. But I do not necessarily dismiss what he says or do not take him seriously and I yes I don't always agree with him. The word cult I want to presume doesn't have satanic undertones in the context he uses it. Rather referring to the NFF favouritism and preferences that lack objectivity. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: If you cannot cut it in a club like Hearts then you have real problems. Let me put it this way, I would expect Warri Wolves to beat Hearts in a competitive game. And TheGoodJoe was recommending him for the left back slot hmmmmmm. Your club form should justify your inclusion in the Eagles all things being equal. |

Bravo Sir Komekn. Doing the best you can to make his comments seem valid huh? ![]() Look... don't even think of playing the "sentimental card" because as far as the super Eagles team is concerned, I don't apply sentiments... I am one person on this thread who speaks for all players. So how am I sentimental?? Is it because I try to educate most of you folks on the qualities of Iheanacho, Osimhen and Iwobi?? or Even Mikel?? Things that are facts and backed by analysts the world over on the qualities of the players?? If anyone thinks he can come here and spill rubbish about out players without facts and valid analysis, it is part of my duty on this thread to rise and debunk it with actual facts and valid analysis. Is that being sentimental?? Abeg... fact is Forgiveness' words are baseless and without facts. Until he comes up with facts on the national team being a cult, then he should mind his tongue/fingers. And it is not the NFF who selects the players... It is Gernot Rohr!!!! Haven't we gotten that already? So how is the team cult-like?? komekn: 1 Like |

Sir Komekn... I love the way you made a nice case for Anichebe's season.... he was indeed plagued by injuries. And the few times he featured, he did pretty good. Now I ask... why then do you find it difficult accepting that Little rising Osimhen also battled with Injuries and even at that still got played by the coach immediately he came back from injury when Wolfsburg battled relegation?? You make a case for Anichebe's injuries but you ignore Osimhen's injury plight... even calling Osimhen a bench warmer. Now that is what I call bad-ass sentiments. ![]() |

komekn: What are you saying? Balotelli Vs Sanchez is laughable. Sanchez is miles more difficult to mark. Lukaku Vs Aguero, Aguero is the far deadlier striker. Keep in mind that Aguero missed loads of games compared to Lukaku, that is why the goal counts favored Lukaku. Aguero is rated World class by many, not Lukaku. Another laughable comparison. Costa or Suarez? Does that need a debate? Suarez is already a legend and I bet you, most defenders will celebrate facing Costa compared to Suarez. Kane Vs Firminho. Firminho is certainly the more difficult one to mark because of his tireless movement. I think one of the most difficult strikers to mark in the world today although Kane is brilliant when it comes to finishing good served up chances. When it comes to who is more difficult to mark, Firminho is far more difficult to mark. As you can see, you have made my Point for me. It was delicious, park and wash the plates. ![]() 1 Like |

Nabil Trabelsi Is The Man Spying On Cameroon In Russia, Not Rohr -NFF ![]() Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr is not in Russia spying on Cameroon as widely reported, but one of his assistant is currently watching the team ahead of their clash against the Indomitable Lions in the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers. Cameroon are currently campaigning in the Confederations Cup and will take on Nigeria in the race to be at the World Cup 2018 in Russia, where Nigeria are currently leading their group four points more than second placed Cameroon. However the back to back games against Nigeria in September presents Cameroon with the opportunity to either move above Nigeria or level on points, a situation which has made the tie dicey for both teams. Nigeria need to put an eye on Cameroon, and it has lead to talks about Nigeria spying on the Lions in the Confederations Cup, but Rohr is not directly the man keeping tabs on the Cameroonians in Russia. Rohr’s video analyst Nabil Trabelsi is the man in Russia on behalf of the coach of the Super Eagle, according to Ade Ojeikere in the Saturday edition of SportingLife. The Deputy Director (Media) of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Ademola Olajire revealed the manager is likely in France, where he is based and not in Russia as widely reported. ” I don’t think he (Rohr) is in Russia. Rohr is in France. He doesn’t have to be in Russia to monitor how the Cameroonians are faring at the ongoing Confederations Cup in Russia”, Olajire said in an interview with SportingLife. **Ade Emmanuel Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/06/24/nabil-trabelsi-is-the-man-spying-on-cameroon-in-russia-not-rohr-nff/ 1 Like |

komekn: First of all, I did not recommend Oshaniwa for the National team but suggested Rohr looks into Oshaniwa to see if there is a possibility of him being able to solve our challenge. Keep in mind that Oshaniwa displaced Echiejile in our National team before the arrival of Oliseh disrupted his progress in the team. Rohr made the right call watching Oshaniwa in camp and even played him in the Super Eagles team A Vs Team B friendly. That was the coach doing more than what I asked and I am grateful for his deep understanding of the National team growth. If playing Oshaniwa in a friendly is more than what I asked, how the hell can you say I suggested him for the team. I believe after the meeting with Rohr, the German tactician gave Oshaniwa advices on how to get his career on track before an assault for a place in the team. I wish the young man the best because he was a breath of fresh air on the left side of our team and we are yet to have someone come close to what he offered. My eyes are set on Nura Abdullahi and I also hope the young man has an injury free explosive season ahead. |

TheGoodJoe: Meaning we should give credence to what people clamouring for Anichebe and Martins are saying. Rohr should equally arrange a test match to assess whether they can solve our attacking problems. Oshaniwa that we knew had nothing to offer this present team. I have always been of the opinion that trying too many players could be an unnecessary distraction. 2 Likes |

Icon4s: I think trying players is part of the job but keep in mind we have video analyst (Nabil Trabelsi) who can analyze most of the players and give detailed report of the best players to call to camp. In the case of Oshaniwa, he displaced the regular left back of the Super Eagles which gives credibility for the coach looking in. We do not know the final verdict. For instance Rohr can give Oshaniwa an advice on how to get himself playing time and then a window back into the team. Wish the young man the best. As for someone like Ideye, Rohr spent time in camp with him. If Rohr feels Ideye does not cut it, then I respect the Coach's judgment. As for Martins, Rohr can judge by watching the tapes of his games. If Rohr feels he does not need Martins, then he has my support. |

Exclusive – Musa Yahaya Gatecrash FC Porto First Team Squad For Pre Season Training ![]() Highly rated Nigerian youth international Musa Yahaya will join the first team of FC Porto when they resume for pre season training, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal. New coach of FC Porto Sergio Conceaio wants to run the rule on the 19 year old at close quarters, hence his decision to include him in his pre season squad. Yahaya is not entirely new to the first team of the Portuguese side as he has train with them severally, but failed to make his debut for the first team of the team he joined last summer. He however played regularly for the B team towards the end of last season and distinguished himself as a wingback for the team, who were crowned champions of the International Premier League Cup following their win over Swansea City. The former Portimonense ace will now be hoping he wins the heart of the coach during training and possibly test games before the season starts proper in Portugal. **Osas Mahawi Source: |
