This one they have been promised $20,000 those guys fit go score by 5 make the money plenty. Iheanacho anytime goalscorer (he likes this )

TheSuperNerd:
Ehmmmm... explain the bolded plsss.... *waiting*

goldfish80:


I will personally report the Super Eagles to FIFA for Match fixing if they loose to Cameroun. No way you will beat a team 4:0 and go down to the same team with the same players 72hrs thereafter.

Humility017:
ohhh...I thought he is a LB.

thanks for the correction

FabioPeter:


Went for an aerial ball from a cross a misjudged it, luckily the defenders cleared, could have been a tap in. Second was suppose to be a routine catch, but pushed it directly to the attack line.
You make these basic errors with top teams, you get punished.

AIG07:
From our last game...
Some observation on individual lapses of some of our players.

EZENWA: he was rarely tested. But will want him to be a bit outspoken and control his territory.

SHEHU: he lacks the confidence to cross.

ECHIEJILE: lacks confidence too, poor positioning and decision making.

NDIDI: Lacks pass accuracy and gives away possession easily.

VICTOR MOSES & SIMON MOSES: Slow in decision makings.

IHEANACHO: That boy needs a special trainer to work on his right foot. Can't use his right foot.

I hope Rohr and his video analyst must have dissected our last match and informed the players on necessary corrections.

TheSuperNerd:
All I know is this... Cameroun escaped a red in the first leg... they may not be so lucky in the second leg. Gassama does not take nonsense... and I hope he comes to the party.

I believe Nigeria will keep her unbeaten WCQs run tomorrow...

TheSuperNerd:
So only one aerial ball that got loosed was all you saw abi? What about all the aerial balls he caught, won and handled beautifully?

What about the sweet stop/catch he made from Anguissa's top drive to the left bottom corner of Ezenwa's goal?

Ezenwa made a game high 16 recoveries and most of them were aerial balls won and you say he was shaky?? Sir.. go and watch that game again.

Even Ezenwa's first aerial save brought a handshake out of Aboubakar... his confidence was wicked.

The aerial ball he spilled was due to unavoidable interference... Apart from that he had no trouble at all dealing with such even in the face of Aboubakar's and Ngadeu's heights... he was brave.

And for the other shot he had to catch twice... that was from Fai on the right Wing... Fai's shot took a sharp bend and was almost finding the last angle of Ezenwa's bottom left corner but Ezenwa got down well to keep it out even though he had to handle it twice because of the tight angle of the curve of Fai's shot.

But all through... Ezenwa showed great grip and handles of the ball.... he even fooled Aboubakar in a neuer-like manner... right from his days at Ocean Boys FC in 2007/2008, He has always been a keeper that loves to display confidence and showboat with a smile on his face. But is he a good goalie? Yes. he is.

FabioPeter:


Saw him against Benin, he was really good but when you see goalies showboating be rest assured an error is Waiting to happen. Top keepers never do that, I doubt he is ready for the big stage.

EmmGee:

Same here.
I'm on loan at Liverpool

AIG07:
I just want us to seal our qualification tomorow. So that we'll have opportunities and enough time to start experimenting other formations like the 3-4-3, 3-5-2, 4-6-0 and so on starting with Zambia.

Danger Looming: Super Eagles Stars Import Girls Into Their Hotel To Celebrate Win Vs Cameroon

Danger Looming: Super Eagles Stars Import Girls Into Their Hotel To Celebrate Win Vs Cameroon

Danger is looming ahead of the Super Eagles match day four World Cup qualifier against Cameroon in Yaounde on Monday.

Some Super Eagles players were excessive in their celebrations after 'importing' girls into the Le Meridien Ibom Hotel in the wake of the massive win over the Indomitable Lions on Friday.

''The hotel was full of girls in the night after the game, the Nigerian Federation could not do anything about it as they don't own the hotel,'' a top source who witnessed the scenes that took place told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''It's more embarrassing that the players were not discreet about it, the girls come to the hotel lobby and the players send their personal assistants to bring them inside.

''Players were partying in the club at the hotel and these girls were there. They purposely switched off the lights so nobody will see them, though I understand lights are dimmed in night clubs''.

Nigeria lead Group B of the World Cup qualifiers with nine points after three matches, but Zambia can cut the points deficit to two if they beat Algeria and the Super Eagles lose to the Indomitable Lions tomorrow.

For now... he will man goal against Cameroun. He is not world class material but is certainly good and loves to take risks too.

I trust Pionetti and Rohr will tell him to reduce his risk taking but it was great seeing a confident goalie for once. We have suffered with Akpeyi for about three games now.... he always concedes... it is a given.

But with Ezenwa and kudos to the defence pair of Balogun and Ekong too, we did not concede in a long while. Now this pair was also present against Algeria with Akpeyi and we still conceded... go figure.

Napoleon55:
''the hotel was full of girls in the night''
nonsense,where do u expect girls to b full of in the night? ur office? name one of the players that imported the girls and where they where imported from,from China? abi

FabioPeter:
The job is almost done, I am looking at the WC finals, just like Rohr opined we need Eyeama back in the team. Ezenwa can't get the required exposure he needs before the WC.

FabioPeter:


Saw him against Benin, he was really good but when you see goalies showboating be rest assured an error is Waiting to happen. Top keepers never do that, I doubt he is ready for the big stage.

AIG07:
Me didn't see any showboating o o o. I only saw an happy man who grew with confidence with every save...

Someone reported it here that he was just busy smiling while the team was filing out. Whereas Moses was just boning face. Abeg free the guy. If we have another clean sheet tomorow, expect him to be in goal in our subsequent matches even if eyeama is back.

TheSuperNerd:
I saw a clip on twitter on Enyeama's progress with his right knee... he seems to be working hard to get back into shape... I reckon that by Year end or January he will be back... Enyeama will return but Only if he can get himself a club by January according to Gernot Rohr.

Ikeme is also still in the picture if he can return early enough from his health setback.

So for now... Ezenwa it is. Followed by Alampasu is who making progress in Portugal. And ofcos Ajiboye is there and The not-so-reliable Akpeyi.

Outside these we have David Nwokolor at Rijeka too. The situation is what it is... but Ezenwa seems better than Akpeyi confidence-wise and handles-wise.

TheGoodJoe:
Hotel really looks good.

TheSuperNerd:
And who is defending poor behavior if I may ask?




Even in the Bible when David (or was it Jonathan... saul's son) broke God's command to not take bread from the temple found on the ark of the covenant, He was excused. God cut him some slack...

The people even spoke up for him... know why? because Moments before that... he had just led them to victory over their enemies... he singlehandedly won the day for them. God spared his life and the priests would not punish him. But ofcos such mistake was not to be repeated but as reward for his bravery in battle, that one mistake was overlooked and even forgotten.


These boys will learn eventually... They have a leader in Mikel... I am sure he is talking to them and reminding them of many more battles to come after this. There will be more WC Qualifiers and Afcons to fight for and it is this young generation that will have to carry it on. Mikel will tell them something like...

"....have your party now... no wahala... but I tell you this.. this is not going to be a recurring pattern because we have to set an example of discipline and focus for even younger players that will come after we the leaders are gone and the mantle of leadership falls to you...."

See.. Sometimes... you have to cut people some slack and at the same time pass the message of truth, focus and discipline across... it is more effective than being a Hitler of discipline and disrupting the team happiness in the long run.

If you are thinking what I think you are thinking.... then just don't go there....

Kwarrapt!

Yara Yara... plsss hope our lobotomy will hold on Sir GoodJoe

It has better...


But seriously shaa... the hotel really looks good

FabioPeter:


It's fine, if he does well it's good for us all. Kudos to him on his first real test.

Napoleon55:
this is perhaps the only thing I hate in football,whoever that have introduced this ideal into football is a satanist,I don't care,this rule alone is capable of destroying this beautiful game, it should b scraped away.
I use to see many attributes to Jesus in the past whenever a goal is scored,what has happened to football? very soon they will even stop players like Iheanacho from pointing heavenwards when celebrating a goal,if they have not done it already.
no wonder Ighallo was so furious n pissed off.

TheGoodJoe:


Awaziem: Nacho, better score hattrick because we need that money for Monday-Tuesday ruggedity.

Nacho: Trust me, I will not only score hattrick. I will score Helmettrick.

Mujtahida:
That's the creeping menace of political correctness
