Moses Simon – The Game Against Cameroon Was Easier Than We Expected But Yaounde…. Gent of Belgium Nigerian forward Moses Simon says the 4-0 win Nigeria had over Cameroon in yesterday’s World Cup 2018 Qualifiers was way easier than they thought before the game. Simon who was on for the entire duration of the game, where he provided the assist for Victor Moses’s goal which gave Nigeria a commanding 3-0 lead said Cameroon didn’t play as expected. The forward however cautioned his team-mates not to treat the reverse tie billed for Monday lightly as Cameroon will no doubt pose a different threat than what was witnessed in Uyo yesterday. ”To be honest the win came way easier than we thought, that is taking into consideration the quality in this Cameroon team. Also not forgetting their title as African Champions “, Simon told Owngoalnigeria.com ”We expect them to be on another level in Yaounde on Monday, a level higher than this so we have to stay switch on just like we did today. Like they say it’s not over, until it’s all over. Yaounde will no doubt be difficult for us to win than Uyo”. **Osas Mahawi Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/09/02/moses-simon-the-game-against-cameroon-was-easier-than-we-expected-but-yaounde/ 2 Likes |

Echiejile Switches Focus To Yaounde Clash After Eagles’ Uyo Victory By James Agberebi Super Eagles defender Elderson Echiejile says he is already looking forward to the return leg of the Group B 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Cameroon in Yaoundé, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. In the first leg played in Uyo in Friday, the Eagles thrashed Cameroon 4-0 to take their points tally to nine and go seven clear of the 2017 African Cup of Nations winners who remain second. Odion Ighalo, Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Kelechi Iheanacho, who came on in the second half, all scored for the Eagles. Elderson who featured for 90 minutes in Friday’s impressive win against Cameroon, called for full concentration from his Eagles teammates for the Yaoundé clash billed for Monday night. “Monday on my mind, new challenge stay motivated, stay focused Super Eagles,” he wrote in his verified Twitter handle on Saturday. The group’s other teams Zambia and Algeria will square off in Ndola today (Saturday). Zambia are on one point and occupy third spot, while Algeria also on one point are bottom.

A draw is the best result, but I'd settle for anything but an Algeria win. |

A draw between Algeria and Zambia will all but seal our place in Russia regardless of what happens in Yaoundé unless Zambia have the nerve to beat us in Uyo |

Is there any other left-back capable of replacing Echiejile?... he seems the best there is but not good enough 1 Like |

It's 2-0 to Zambia in the 31st minute Algeria have been playing trash... Uncoordinated defence and woeful attack. Just playing long balls everywhere, they can't even communicate well Mwila with a brace BTW |

Danycrusoe: Thier nationality is irrelevant what is relevant is consistent top level performance. The EPL has more Foreign CB's at the top level of the EPL than English players. Your assumptions 100% wrong Yobo came to Everton as a right back but on one occasion had to play center back within a short space of time he began to win man of the match awards. The rest we can say is history. Ekong was at Tottenham for some time but couldn't breakthrough. The physicality of the EPL and speed requires a different type of player than what is generally required in mainland Europe. Bailey is from Cote De Voire but at Manchester United also Matip played for Cameroon but is at Liverpool fc.. Our central defenders are German first and don't have the problem of work permit to play in Europe and or the EPL. Our own Omeruo had a season at Middlesbrough that was let's just say was OK, not outstanding. The hard cold truth is that our defenders are not really top class. They played exceptionally well yesterday I liked the experience of Balogun it showed he plays in the Bundesliga. Football will hinge on the big word OPPORTUNITY and then what you do with your opportunities, will define you. 1 Like |

GloryIsaac: I could talk about a conversion with respect to Seyi Ojo, natural left footer could do a job for us. He is for certain much faster than Echiejile. Yesterday Echiejile could have become a liability as his lack of pace was exposed for all to see. Considering that he is more of a left winger so also is Victor Moses but converted to tight wing back by Chelsea. In this regard its a viable option. |

komekn:if we want to convert, we have an excess of players in the team that we can convert. Shehu is an utility player, he can be switched to LB, we will even convert Ebuehi if we must. |

AIG07: If we white wash the Cameroonian on their soil and deal with Zambia in our home ....it's easy for us to climb that ladder . I foresee us climbing btw 5and 10 steps higher . Come what may , i want us to continue with this tempo . If possible go to the World Cup as underdog will be a good thing for us .... we can shock them all . The write up before Cameroonian match played a huge part in our victory . They got carried a way with their African crown . Thinking it's by past glory . |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 3:15pm On Sep 02, 2017 |
Well... Safarigirl have mentioned two names based on players already on the team (Ebuehi who can play left back and Shehu who can also slot in..... Even Aina can do a job at LB).... but me I will also add a name I think we should be after.... Jordan Torunarigha Of Hertha Berlin SC, Germany. GloryIsaac: |

Algeria scored a goal. Zambia 2-1 Algeria Fashion Sakala gets a second yellow and he's sent off. Dude cries as he leaves the stadium, so sad..... Zambia is playing with 10-men now |

TheSuperNerd:lol....funny enough, I was going to mention Torunarigha, but I figured since he's a CB, won't slot in so easily. We have Awaziem How far Kevin Akpoguma? |

tbaba1234:azzin. This Angolan ref is having a bad game. He has failed to give the Algerians two deserved penalties now. First with a tackle by a Zambian in the 18-yard and then an obvious handball by the same Zambians inside the 18-yard. I believe the Algerians will still equalize sha |

Akpoguma is still available I think but well shaa... no progress on that end for now. He is a CB also.... Torunarigha is both CB and LB... and very comfortable in both roles. I just feel Rohr wanna tale his time and focus on us making it first before he moves full throttle on some quality options available among the foreign borns. First things first... Secure that Russia 2018 ticket for good. Then Next year, we shall resume again with 2019 Afcon qualifiers.... safarigirl: |

Aina is not of lesser quality. Ebuehi is a young quality player too but needs time to adjust. GloryIsaac: |
