TheGoodJoe:I don't and I will not agree with you on this point regarding the second leg. Had we gone out attacking, Cameroun would have had us for dinner. Something more than tactics was at play(do you even realise that Rohr's contract is tied to qualifying us for the WC?). We needed to secure at least a point. That was what came first, not tactics after beating them 4-0(too much sugar na im dey cause purging). We won a point from that match and yet see the immense pressure Zambia exerted on us. That pressure accounted for much of our disjointed play against the Zambians coupled with the fact the Zambians were determined rather than more tactical. If we had lost that match with your offensive prescription who knows who Russia would have welcomed into her fold. We needed to qualify and we did. Going forward, we can be radical. QED. 1 Like |

forgiveness:Honestly i thought 75% of the present squad w make it but am thinking otherwise now. In our last match we have Iwobi, Aina,Iheanacho, Musa,Agu,Awaziem, Etebo, Akpeyi, Ajiboye, Agu,Agbo,Nwakaeme on d bench,out of these i w pick Iwobi,Iheanacho, Aina, with first eleven meaning we are having 14 likely players to d WC,9 slots still for available for any players who can prove himself.Pls my opinion o My 14 players 1.Mikel Obi capt 2Ogenyi Onazj asst capt 3.Victor Moses 4.Elderson Echiejele 5.Leon Balogun 6.Ekong Troost 7Winifred Ndidi 8.Alex Iwobi 9.Odion Ighalo 10.Shehu Abdullahi 11.Kelechi Iheanacho 12.Simeon Moses 13.Ike Ezenwa 14.Ola Aina. The remaining 9 slots are for grab with these 19 players and any Nigerian born players home or abroad. 1.Ahmed Musa must show he is still d same player of 2014 WC and only way out he must change club by Jan or else is out of d team 70/30 2.Awaziem must show he is ready for national team, South Africa match still a reference point,though he is having a good run in his club,likely to make it 70/30 3.Mikel Agu not yet convincing but Rohr believe in him,had a very difficult match against Zambia 70/30 4.Oge Etebo a good midfielder but since South Africa match he is finding it difficult to have a look at by Rohr 70/30 5.John Ogu a very experience midfielder who always in d team but finding it difficult to break into XI. 50/50 6.Uche Agbo a versatile player who can play CB or DMF but not yet not yet tested but surprisedly always making d team 50/50 7.Daniel Akpeyi trusted in d absence of Ikeme but lost his position to Ezenwa due to injury still receiving d knock for his below performance against South Africa 80/20 8.Nwakaeme a surprised call prior to Cameroon and he has been with d team since,a good striker but still await his debut 40/60 9.Dele Ajiboye one of d best keeper in d NPFL league.A deputy to Ezenwa during WAFU Cup,kept against Guinea with calmness and played d ball on d ground with his defender,with lack of availability of world class keeper in d team,he can pull a surprise 30/70 10.Dele Alampasu a young and promising keeper, he has always be with d team but was put on standby against Zambia,normally with sentiment he suppose to be on d train to WC coz he is for d future depends on Rohr choice. 40/60 11.Brown Ideye a forgotten player he was part of d starter and had a good match against Zambia but still looking for another call up since Algeria match. 30/70 12.Kenneth Omeruo one of d most experience defender in d team,he started d campaign with d team but not yet forgiven for his holla against Zambia, hope he rediscover his form,still very much rated by Rohr 60/40 13.Anderson Esiti a powerful midfielder who came in as 2nd half substitute against Zambia in Lusaka but not getting call again since Algeria match. 30/70 14.Ebuhei a young and promising player who need to pledged his allegiance to Nigeria instead of Holland, still waiting for his debut game but still in Rohr plan. 50/50 15.Kayode Olarewaju a very good striker who won d best Austria player of d year before signing for man city and loaned to Girona.He had a comeo appearance against South Africa,hope he get another call 30/70 16.Vincent Enyeama a reputable keeper who has seen it all,highly rated by Nigerians,also highly rated by Rohr.No doubt we lack highly rated keeper and everybody see Enyeama as d solution.The major concern is Enyeama form,just coming back from injury and presently no club..Hope he fix this by January so that he can be available for selection. 50/50 17.Aron Samuel got a surprised call against Cameroon and replaced injured Iwobi in d squad but later dropped from d squad but base on form he shouldn't be near national team, likely Rohr see something good in him 30/70 18.Tammy Abraham a young and prolific striker,highly rated by England and also wanted by Nigeria.Hope things sort itself out in coming months 50/50 19.Nosa Igiebor I know a lot have forgotten him but he was part of early campaigner under Rohr but fizzled out and made a statement that he cannot be a training material. I don't think anybody even Rohr himself remember him. 10/90 Special tribute to CARL IKEME.He made it possible for our qualification,he keep us in d race,anytime i looked back,his performance against Zambia always make me happy, he dived,punched, saved us from defeat, hope everyone remember that goal line saved.This great guy made us to forget Enyeama coz he came into d team as a world class keeper,settling down without issue When we taught we have seen a capable replacement and real time to see d best of him,sickness came,still on d sick bed looking strong and with strong belief that he w survive it IJN Carl Ikeme still remain part of d team,d wish of every Nigerian is for u to be part of d team and so shall it be coz u are a warrior and all Nigerians hold u highly for this great qualifications.

England Fear They May Face Nigeria In World Cup Group Of Death ![]() England could face Africa powerhouse Nigeria in next year's football festival, the World Cup, according to permutations done by The Sun. The Three Lions are set to occupy the 12th position when Fifa announces the latest ranking of national teams on Monday, which will place them in Pot 2 for the World Cup draw that will be held at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow on December 1. Hosts Russia, Germany, Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, Belgium, Poland and France are the top-ranked teams and will make up Pot 1. The nightmare scenario, according to the British newspaper, is that England will be drawn alongside Brazil, Iceland and Nigeria. England could not beat Nigeria when both teams faced off at Nagai Stadium, Osaka on June 12, 2002, despite the Africans taking an experimental squad to the tournament hosted by South Korea and Japan. The Super Eagles outplayed England in a high profile international friendly at Wembley on November 16, 1994 but lost 1-0. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=24987 1 Like |

(See Photo) Super Eagles Star Ndidi Training With Leicester Amid Injury Reports ![]() Super Eagles star Wilfred Ndidi is in contention to make his tenth appearance in all competitions this season when Leicester City host Hal Robson-Kanu's West Brom in the Premier League on Monday. Speculation had been rife in the local and foreign media that the central midfielder was set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up what can now be rightly referred to as a phantom hamstring injury in Nigeria's 1-0 win over Zambia last weekend. Ndidi was quick to dismiss those injury reports and further confirmation was received when he was photographed training with the Foxes, along with international teammate Kelechi Iheanacho, on Thursday. After seven matches in the English top- flight, Ndidi leads the way in tackles, 28 in total, ahead of Chelsea's France star N'Golo Kanté, who has made one less than the Nigerian. Assuming the number 25 starts against the Baggies, it would be the 15 straight game he has been named in the starting line-up spread over two seasons. The 20-year-old has made 18 clearances, 10 interceptions, 10 headed clearances and won 24 aerial battles this season, more than any Nigerian in the English top-flight including Victor Moses, who plays more defensively for his club. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel **Photo Credit : lcfc.com http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=24986 1 Like |

Fit Again Musa Yahaya Joins FC Porto First Team In Training Ahead Cup Game ![]() Highly rated Nigerian forward Musa Yahaya was among the players of the B team of Portuguese giants FC Porto called up to the training of the first team ahead of this weekend Cup game against Lusitano FC. Yahaya has grown into a very influential member of the B team, where he is distinguishing himself as a right wing-back as opposed to his well known position from the left or right of attack. He got injured after 35 minutes in a second division game for the B team against CD Nacional which they won 2-1, although he played for 85 minutes in their next league game , a 2-1 win against Cova Piedade , he suffered a relapse and missed the 4-1 win against Academico Viseu. Now back to full fitness, he is heavily tipped to play for the first team tomorrow when they take on Lusitano in a Portuguese Cup game as Porto are expected to rest some of their regulars. **Daniel Martins http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/10/12/fit-again-musa-yahaya-joins-fc-porto-first-team-in-training-ahead-cup-game/ 1 Like |

Arsenal Coach Wenger – I’m Sure Nigeria Will Have A Great Tournament At The World Cup ![]() Alex Iwobi appears to have won Nigeria a fan in his club manager at Arsenal as Arsene Wenger is tipping Nigeria to do well at the World Cup in Russia next year. Wenger made this known in a video on Facebook posted on the official page of Arsenal while congratulating Nigeria on their qualification for the World Cup, which was made possible by a goal from Iwobi. ” Good morning congratulations to all our fans in Nigeria – I know that you are very, very many of you and we are very proud that you have qualified for the World Cup. On top of that of course, our player scored the goal for you and that makes us even prouder”, he said. ” Well done and see at the World Cup and I’m sure you will have a great, great trip there “, he said in the 24 seconds video posted by Arsenal ahead of their weekend game against Watford at Vicarage Road. Arsenal and Wenger has a long connection with Nigerian players starting from when the manager signed Kanu Nwankwo from Inter-Milan in 1998. Kelechi Nwakali was the last Nigerian player signed by the manager after his super showing for Nigeria at the 2015 U17 World Youth Championship. **Ade Emmanuel http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/10/12/arsenal-coach-wenger-im-sure-nigeria-will-have-a-great-tournament-at-the-world-cup/ 2 Likes |

Kog45:it's like you guys on this thread either don't rate Cyril Dessers or you just don't like him. How can you even put Tammy that is still tied to England on your list, but no Dessers that is happily unattached? Is it because the Press is not shouting about him up and down? Is it because he's not in EPL and so, he doesn't seem as attractive as the English boy? I get that some of you are fully influenced by what you read, which is actually not a very good thing, but come on!

Eagles Coach Rohr Targets World Cup Quarter Final , Wants Not Too Difficult Group ![]() Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has set his team a target of at least reaching the quarter final at the World Cup following their qualification for the tournament holding in Russia next year. The coach however said he wish for his team to be placed in a favourable group, because getting out of their group is their first priority before they can now match or surpass the feat of the 1994 and 2014 Eagles. Nigeria went as far as the second round at the World Cup in 1994 and also in the 2014 tournament, and Rohr is hoping his wards should be able to better the achievement by at least getting to the quarter final next year in Russia. ” I wish to have a group not too difficult to come out of the group, thereafter anything can happen. I hope to surpass the record of the USA 94 World Cup at least a quarter final spot at next year World Cup in Russia “, he told the print version of Sporting Life. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/10/12/eagles-coach-rohr-targets-world-cup-quarter-final-wants-not-too-difficult-group/ 1 Like |
