Icon79: Firstly, I can not believe the NFF did not arrange Aina's clearance they have had months to do that, that is sheer incompetence. With the line up , I have one issue its Simon he lacks football intelligence and composure for me. Ighalo upfront brings a lot more to the table as a true No.9 , KC lacks presence and its not within his ability to pressurise defenders and essentially bully them the way Ighalo can. Furthermore i think Ighalo is hungry and angry with a point to prove. 1 Like |

Bro, I have called out the NFF on twitter regarding the ongoing Aina's clearance scandal. Somebody have to lose his/her job if Nigeria doesn't get result from these two games. This issue has been going on for months now and they knew that we have two crucial games in Sept., yet these incompetent folks still can't get their acts together. Sad! I totally agree with you on Simon. His game seriously lacks end products. I would've definitely preferred to see Etebo in that position. To me, Simon to play better as a super sub. As per the highlighted, I definitely hope that Ighalo can use this as a statement game because he hasn't impressed me on green and white. One thing I like about KC is his ability to get himself in good position to score. O pari komekn: |

I rewatched the afcon final in Lagos in 2000, and i must say that our goalie was crappier than a 3rd division goalie. like how did he make the team? jeez. I also noticed the passing accuracy our wingers had. muah!! Cameroon played nothing and got 2 goals cos of our goalie. that P K disallowed was partly the fault of the taker. why put hands on your head when the ref hasn't decided if twas a goal or not? well that's 17 years ago. we gats nail this guys deep. Judging by what they played against Chile, then Iwobi's replacement gats lots of work for the SE attack to open them up. |

Icon79:@bolded, How many impacts did he make from venturing forward against South Africa? Mikel made huge impacts against Zambia and Algeria in that position and he still remains a better attacking midfielder than Ndidi so he should feature in that role. |

How Delay By FGN Stopped Ola Aina From Making Super Eagles Debut Against Cameroon Former England youth international Ola Aina won’t be making his senior national team debut for Nigeria when they take on Cameroon today in the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers. Aina has been in the camp of the Super Eagles ahead of the game against Cameroon in Uyo, despite his international clearance which will make him eligible for Nigeria still pending. As revealed by coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr his clearance is currently been held up by a document demanded by FIFA before his switch can be made official. FIFA wants the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) to communicate to them in writing confirming Aina is a Nigerian before he can be cleared to play for Nigeria against Cameroon. However the letter from the FGN didn’t get to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on time, hence they couldn't forward to FIFA which means time wasn’t enough for the Players Status Committee of FIFA to sanction his switch. The NFF, Rohr and Aina are however hopeful that he will be cleared before the return leg tie against Cameroon on Monday in Yaounde, leaving the coach with no option than to stick with Shehu Abdullahi at right back. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/09/01/how-delay-by-fgn-stopped-ola-aina-from-making-super-eagles-debut-against-cameroon/ |

Bro, I took the game against SA as an aberration. Practically all our players had a poor game. Hence, I will give Ndidi another chance today to show me the same Ndidi I see on Leicester shirt. And most importantly, this is Gernot Rohr's chance to show Nigerians how good he really is. Granted that he didn't have enough time to work with the team but he has had several opportunities to see this Cameroun team: up close, so there would be no excuses if he comes up with the wrong tactics today.

The NFF is a disgrace! These folks just can do ANYTHING right....not even once! Not even if their lives depends on it! And by the way, if he isn't cleared by COB today, what give them the idea that he would be cleared by Monday? I am not sure whether FIFA works on weekend. O pari blueto: |

Icon79: This behaviour has been ongoing for donkey years. You know in the Nigerian context you can not rule out subterfuge, this is a crucial game we have known about this for months. So it seems wilful neglect and omission. Years ago there was a AFCON game and two players from the UK were assured that their flights had been booked all arrangements completed. Only to arrive to Gatwick, no flight nuttin, the rumour had been put out that they had refused to turn up. They were on good £££ so they simply hired a private jet for £20k+ to get to camp, on arrival they discovered NFF officials were already lining up their preferred replacement. Anything is possible in Naija. |

Cameroon Coach Broos: Rain Is Not A Factor, I Only Fear Heat 2 September 1, 2017 1:02 pm By Kayode Ogundare (Pix: Ganiyu Yusuf) in Uyo: Tough-talking Indomitable Lions of Cameroon manager Hugo Broos has said that the cloudy weather which had seen sporadic rainfall in Uyo is nothing to be scared of when his team face the Super eagles in the first leg of the double-header World Cup qualifier on Friday evening. Broos, a Belgian, reckons that he would have been worried if there had been a heatwave in Uyo rather than the mild weather which will not hurt anyone. “The rain is not a problem if it falls. During my playing days, I was used to playing in the rain. As a footballer, you even enjoy playing in the rain than the snow. If it was heat I would be worried but we are happy that Nigeria is not hot at the moment,” he said. Broos had a distiguished playing career as a defender spanning 18 years before he retired in 1988. He won the Belgian League four times, belgian Cup five times, as well as the UEFA Cup and Super Cup majorly with Anderlecht but also won a fistful of titles in his time with Club Brugge. Rain has fallen in Uyo for three days although in short bursts not lasting more than one hour each including on Friday morning. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/cameroon-coach-broos-rain-not-factor-fear-heat/ |

Sometimes I wonder whether Nigeria is accursed or something. However, go write it down, if we don't get results (2 points at a minimum) from these 2 games, I will carry out a 1 man protest in front of the glasshouse until someone loses his or her job. This level of incompetence (abi na corruption) is totally unacceptable. O pari komekn: |

Icon79: Depend on the NFF at your own peril. Such a shameful show of inefficiency. Even if Aina is not cleared for this clash the NFF would be more under intense pressure to secure his clearance before the Zambia game. All is not lost. Let's first focus on winning today's game and heaven can fall in Douala in the next game who cares. |

True. If we win today's game then we have better than 75% chances of qualifying, even if we lose in Yaoundé. Today's game is arguably the most important game of the 2018 WC qualification, as far as the Super Eagles is concerned. O pari Icon4s: |
