I can't say I didn't see this coming but take heart my brother 2 wrongs don't make a right. Remember that I stood with u in saying that Nacho did not have a poor game against SA but bashing Ighalo won't make things right.

Fringes:


My good man, let us talk privately. I'll send you an email.

komekn:


Actually to be honest most of our players are not playing in the top leagues. Those that are, stand out clearly and they are all from the EPL essentially.

Why then do people get offended, riled up and vexed. when I suggest EPL and or Championship players of Nigerian origin as better alternatives than some players in the backwater leagues.

blueto:
Enough of this please. Should we also attribute Moses's havoc against Cameroon to Iheanacho that was sitting on bench? Moses can cause havoc against any African side anytime anyday! with or without nacho. Should we also attribute Mikel's goal and Moses's second goal against Algeria to Nacho's “constant running?” Stop making reference to the words of a coach who waa just looking for an excuse for failure to defeat Nigeria.

Dominic Iorfa Snr did not want his child to play for Nigeria but once the chance for England started to fade, he started talking about playing for Nigeria. Good thing, he is still young.

tbaba1234:


I do not think, Musa Muhammad is in contention..

Would we ever have another striker who'd set the La Liga on fire the way Uche did (in recent times though)

Till tomorrow, Villarreal fans love him and are hoping he'd come back to finish his career with them.

His Spanish is also very fluent. I never expected less from him, having spent his entire career in Spain.

HEARTLAND BACK IN THE NPFL AFTER 1 YEAR

Joebie:
If they didn't want their kids to play initially, they have their reasons. Some of these parents want to explore the option especially if their children meet the grade there.. They believe it's better professionally for their wards. Parents look for the best for their children. When it becomes apparent Nigeria may favor them more they have a change of heart.
It's human, even our parents sometimes make decisions for us that they THINK is best for us.. but later rescind. It's a choice.. I have a niece who is already showing promise in track and field at the age of 7. I'd never advise her to run for Nigeria if she makes it to that pro level, as long as the way we do things in athletics today stay the same. I want the best for her.

Famocious:


They have the French and Brazilians to contend with..

Look at the depth of variable formations available to the French team

Mickael2:



the thing tire me. As if Moses didn't have his own marker that he evaded repeatedly, now we are praising Nacho for his inability to evade his marker even once for 90 complete minutes

Mickael2:


do you expect Icon4s to change his views ever? If he was a coach he would play thesame formation and thesame team for a whole season even if he has better players on the bench. Hopefully the tactical team will understand that football is a dynamic game just like you have come to understand

Icon79:
I will start monitoring Nura Abdullahi effective immediately (starting this weekend). I mean, if this dude can start for AS Roma then he's quality....we need to pay attention.

Joebie, any news on whether the NFF has made any contacts with Jordan Torunarigha?


O pari

Kog45:
Yes is a public forum so expect it.

TheGoodJoe:


Shocking this coming from you. There is a game I think Eto'o scored a goal for Barcelona. In that game Bojan Krkic played. After the goal, Guardiola praised Bojan with Gestures for his perpetrating runs which created room for the scorer.

This is basic and I am not to explain this. We have two central defenders. If a striker keeps them occupied and distracted, it creates room for others to exploit.

Have you not heard of the term attracting players and creating room for others? Na wa.

No News on recent approach on Torunarigha

Kog45:
I understand your point but Irofa snr and Ojokojo snr should know better.I know both right from old Nigeria league but funny enough they are d ones try to stop d young lads from playing for us.

It's like Keshi,Siasia, Okocha, KANU advising their kids by saying don't play for Nigeria, u should know is not possible.

I don't blame d duo they don't have much caps with Eagles,I remember Irofa very few caps and Ojokojo i can't really say,so that great spirit of Super Eagles is not in them, Irofa fall my hand big time,one time Lobi star chairman in NPFL..

chrisooblog:
been reading all the comments from yesterday must say its has been entertaining viewing all the back and forth. i think victor moses has been the best player in this successful world cup campaign. i had thought he played his best game against algeria but against cameroon he was simply unplayable. the cameroonian defenders will be having nightmares about the man. i think it would be stretching it abit to say KC provided space for moses to flourish against the algerians. victor was just a different beast that day.

on iheanacho i rate him highly but like other posters have said it won't be doing him any justice if we keep blaming other factors for his poor or above average performances. the first game against zambia in ndola was his best game. his movement and guile confounded the zambians. his second against algeria he wasn't as threatening as he could have been. to juxtapose this look at his performance against senegal in the international friendly earlier in the year. he always occupied the senegalese centre halves and was always a source of menace to them even though the service wasn't great. that senegal game is the reason i can't readily exonerate him in the SA match. yes the service too was poor but kelechi didn't do himself any favours in that game just waiting for everything to be perfectly laid on a plate for him. ighalo before his recent form was also like that waiting for nonexistent service but now he know he has to hustle. it's because of this i'm not too critical of odion's performance against the zambians. he did not have the rub of the green goal scoring wise but he continued to make himself a nuisance to zambians.

i think it's also a bit harsh to question herr rohr's tactical ability. we qualified out of a group of current and former AFCON winners if that's not impressive then i don't know what is
