Yes, he benched Pantillimon. That is very impressive.

Reuben is the first choice but he is out injured. Pantillimon was brought in at the last minute to replace him but his performances have been suspect.

It takes a brave coach to rely on an 19 year old with no experience.

This have been Pepe Mel's MO. He gives youngsters their chances like kilode.
He once debuted a 16 yr old at Betis. He's like the Arsene Wenger of old.

And I would let to get either one of these trio in our group:

Poland
Portugal
Russia

But trust FIFA to put us in the group of death, especially if we find ourselves in pot 3. Don't be surprised if we get this grouping:

Brazil
Italy
Korea Republic
Nigeria

or you can get:

Germany
Uruguay
Mexico
Nigeria

All I know is that if FIFA goes through to form, Nigeria should be in the group of death. Since I started following soccer, the strongest African teams almost always end up in the group of death. FIFA knows what they are doing.


O pari


I know, right. But this time, outside the top 10 Euro/South American teams, Nigeria can give any other team a run for their money.

Rohr has lost one game since he became manager.

But he has also topped a group made up of 4 former African champions, including the current champions.

Some people will tell us how 'untactical' he is because of the one loss but forget that he beat 3 african champions.

Ask yourself, with Siasia's team selection, will we get out of this WC group? It is not as if Siasia has not been tried at national team level. We saw how bad his team selection was at the Olympics.

A tactical side does not show the kind of atrocious defensive frailties that Nigeria showed at the olympics. Ekong and Daniel were the team's saviours several times.

Rohr is a mature manager with vast experience. He is bringing that to play in Nigeria.

For once, we do not have to deal with questionable invites and nepotism. For the forseeable future, keep the Nigerian coaches out.



And it shall be well with you for this post @ bolded! AMEN

I know a couple of players were invited but I don't think it was up to 100.

Besides as I said before the world has advanced and is now a global village. We see these players weekly and know those that are up to the mark.
No need inviting everybody

On Saturday, we saw Mourinho opt for a very negative strategy and Rashford looked worse than average. If a team play that way regularly, we can have a quality player who looks average.

That is why it is good to access them closely. So using watching them every day as a yardstick does not add.

If not the bravery of Pepe Mel, we can use him not playing as a yardstick to judge his strength. Some play in weak clubs and with a quality team can post stellar performances.

Accessing and screening remains the best. I go with us doing it the old way.

If only there's a way for Obagoal to rep in green white green again. But i'll love to see a striker with aerial prowess; One of the ways to make defenders watch you like cinema, while goalies are unsure of where, when to dive.

Girona-fc 1-2 Villarel


Kayode olanrewaju was introduced in the beginning of second half after Girona-fc were down by 2 goals to one. He was deployed to partner the main striker though he dropped deep to the act as a SS and sometimes on the wings.

Although, I have seen him played for Girona before now but I noticed his confidence level has grown times ten.

Now, I know why Guardiola personally placed a call to him. Kayode is an all rounder forward player. He can place a through pass with a long ball, he can hold the ball, dribble, defend, play many roles and he is very dangerous in the box. Above all he is a team player, not selfish and I think his pace is equal to none in the SE

However, he has some dirty tricks under his sleeves. He is very experienced and I think he should be in the world cup.

Anyway, he was very lively when he came on and he changed the game.

Nice,he got his chance against SA to claim the Super Eagles no 9 but failed to do so.Had it been he scored just a goal,he would have displaced Nacho.

What the Super Eagles need is a 9 who must score in every game.

He needs to start scoring for Girona to make the WC list just as Iheanacho needs to start scoring for Leicester to reclaim his no 9 position.

Some people seriously think someone of Rohr’s personality will hold an “open” camp prior to the World Cup? cheesy That is clearly a pipe dream.

At the very least, Rohr will invite 7 other players to the 23 he invited for the last three WC qualifiers, for his FIFA-mandated preliminary 30-player squad list.

I wouldn’t expect the coach to name more than 5 new faces to his final 23. The players who I think are in danger of missing the World Cup are Ahmed Musa, Alampasu, and Mikel Agu.
Osimhen (or Abraham) could take Musa’s spot. Uzoho, if he stays with Deportivo’s first team, could give Alampasu a run for his money. The need for another midfield controller may see Our favorite - Joel Obi (if he is fit) - replace Mikel Agu.

Moreover, I wouldn’t put it past Rohr to name 8 defenders to the World Cup, with Akpoguma deputising for Shehu at RB, Echiejile as back up to Aina, and Uduokhai and Awaziem deputising for the Oyinbo wall.

Yup. The 3 countries I expect to spring surprise in Russia are:

Argentina - something tells me that Jorge Sampaoli will get it right. Plus any team that has Messi is a favorite, unfortunately he needs help: Angel DiMaria would never stay healthy for any tournament. And Sergio Aguero is world class in EPL but never plays well for Argentina. Let's hope that Dybala and Icardi can provide Messi the help he needs to take Argentina over the top.

Brazil - I will rank them as favorites along with Germany. Any team with Gabriel Jesus and Neymar would be a handful to an opponent.

Nigeria - If we can find a decent goalkeeper, prepare well, and avoid any monetary and other distractions, I will expect Nigeria to make a run thru the semi-finals .... especially if we are to get a decent draw.

Other countries you should keep your eye on include:
France - Loaded team but can they get it together?
Belgium - Can Roberto Martinez's team become ruthless for once? If so, then expect them to be too hot to handle for most teams.
Iceland - Definitely one of the dark horse
Germany - arguably the overwhelming favorites, but I don't expect them to win it

Every player now is lobbying to play for Nigeria. Even foreign borns are reconsidering playing ie. Brian Idowu, Sheyi Ojo, Tammy Abraham etc. That's why we do not have committed players. Its only when Nigeria qualifies everybody shows interest. I'm really afraid for Nigeria at Russia.

Misinformation ;

The problem is actually not on the part of the players we didnt engage with them much, much earlier before these players became well known.

It could actually be the other way round we are going to them now that they are HOT particularly where TEGA ABRAHAMS is concerned.
