ucheo: What talent does Kelechi Nwakali have? As long as this is super eagles thread, he will be mentioned 1million times. The same way some told us Kayode olanrewaju isn't good enough but in their very eyes Manchester City came for him with a call of assurance from Guardiola. Are they blind? We know your type.

Icon4s: Akpeyi is now fit but still not selected because he is not better. Your campaign was not because you want the best keeper. It is because you want a sentimental choice. I am not for Alampasu, Akpeyi, Ezenwa, Uzoho, Ajiboye etc. I want the best in the team. After you select the best, then you can have the best make a long run as the keeper. Not just any keeper getting a long run because of Fortune. Same goes to every position. The only way we can get is done is to screen the best candidates. If not, we will not field our possibly strongest team. |

Icon79: Hahahahahah! Honestly, some people are not here for football reasoning but to boasts their egos with na we sabi pass mentality. This explains why they don't see any good thing coming from outside 'we'. Tell me, how we can become the best in the world with such shallow mentality? The other day, one of those school of thoughts said nothing good comes from the North in regards to creative midfielders. As soon as he said that I knew his mind frame and others in pretence because Bible said out of the abundance of the heart a man speaks.. Some people here don't believe an AMF can come outside their lineage and descendants. Bhuuuhahaha! But I will keep talking what is true.

TheGoodJoe: Go back and re-watch that game with an unbiased mind. Nigeria was on the front foot for over 70mins of the game. We had the chances to have rapped it up in the first half and early in the second half. We created more chances. Look at the stats: Cameroon with 6 shots on goal with 2 on target (one of which was the penalty), Nigeria had 11 shots on goal with 2 on target. It is only expected for a team that desperately needed a win and are trailing by 0-1 in front of their crowd to come all out and throw in all they have to salvage the situation. The away team leading would want to go conservative at that point to secure their lead. Over-all, Nigeria was the better team in that game. You have been hammering on players selection, squad selection. Are you suggesting Rohr should over-haul or disband the team and go and search for players that will be playing all attack like you have described it? 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: Coach Rohr and the entire coaching crew stuck to Akpeyi because of the lack of confidence in the other keepers. The devil you know, it is often said is better than the Angel you don't know. They didn't want to take that risk. And I bought into it that's all. No sentiments. At the bolded, you clearly are for Alampasu. Everyone here knows that. Well the "foreigner" has ran the rule on him. |

TheGoodJoe:This is just the right mix. That's why I emphasise that our defence is the heart of our attack, if it is very solid. It frees up our attack. The attackers would still need to backtrack but not all the time if they know that the defence is solid. In fact our attackers can defend by pressing (this word is now trending in goodjoe's football vocabulary. Do you know who invented pressing in football?) 1 Like |

Some people sef. If wishes were horses beggars will ride. TRIBALISM is a mental disease like psychosis it blinds you from real situation of things. Just because you are angry your tribesmen did not dominate Super Eagles doesn't mean anything will change. You can scream Ajagun,Ilori,Raheem,Solanke from morning till night and I can promise you none of them is going to world cup with Nigeria. This is not because they are your tribesmen but because they are not up to per,except for Raheem Lawal. If I have the power I will kill every tribalistic eidiots in Nigeria because its the major reason why Nigeria is a danm joke! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Icon4s: I was rooting for Alampasu. He was my pick as the best. I clearly explained that he was my pick because reports repeatedly highlighted him as the best in camp. I still believe he is among the best and I now believe Ajiboye is the best. However, I will not feel convinced unless a proper screening process takes place and the best graded. For now, my picks are, Ajiboye Alampasu Uzoho These are my picks but I leave the final decision to the keeper trainer. As long he does a good job and select the best, he has my support. Not Alampasu or anyone. Coach Rohr stuck with Akpeyi because of Alloy Agu who was lost in doing his job. Finito. |

Icon4s: Alampasu has been in Feirense for years and has not played a league game. You do not test players,in important games. Uzoho playing a league game at the expense of more experienced keepers is a testament to the trust of the coach not testing. If Uzoho continues till the end of the season, he will be an easy world cup pick. How many Nigerian keepers are playing at that level? 5 Likes |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by chrisooblog: 3:45pm On Oct 17, 2017 |
hmmm Uzoho starting for deportivo has definitely given him edge over alampasu. if he continues to start games for la coruna it will be hard to justify inviting alampasu ahead of him for future matches. all the same i'm happy as this will only add to the depth of quality in the goalkeeping department. on Uzoho himself i like his size but i would want to watch more of him to judge how sharp and good he is in goal but that a la liga coach trusts him is a huge plus in his favour tbaba1234: 2 Likes |

Some had premonition that this was going to happen but I bet not so soon but here we are. It has happened! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREMIER LEAGUE: LEICESTER CITY SACK MANAGER SHAKESPEARE AFTER POOR START TO SEASON Leicester City have sacked manager Craig Shakespeare following a run of one win in eight Premier League matches this season, according to reports. According to Daily Mail, Shakespeare was relieved of his duties at the King Power Stadium at a meeting on Tuesday following a 1-1 draw with West Brom on Monday. Shakespeare took over from Claudio Ranieri when the Italian was sacked in February with Leicester in the midst of a relegation battle and rumours of a dressing room revolt. Leicester subsequently finished 12th with improved performances in the latter months of the campaign, leading to him to be rewarded with a three-year contract in June. However, a rocky run of results - in which they failed to defeat Huddersfield Town, Bournemouth and West Brom - led the Foxes board to take action against the 53-year-old.

Truly there's nothing like playing for your country. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------Nigeria, October 17,2017 LEON BALOGUN IN TEARS, REMINDS ME OF THE PRIDE IN PLAYING FOR NIGERIA – Taribo West Former Super Eagles defender Taribo West says seeing Leon Balogun in tears after Nigeria qualified for the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Zambia reminds him of the pride in representing Nigeria. Balogun broke into tears after the final whistle of the game which sealed Nigeria’s progress to the World Cup, and according to West it’s a sign of how committed he is to the Nigerian course and not weakness as perceived by many. West who represented Nigeria from 1996 to 2003 said it’s also shows how much pride the Mainz 05 defender has while defending the national team colours. “Look it’s not a sign of weakness, but rather a feeling of pride. Tears of pride, I usually feel same when I wear the green, white , green colours of Nigeria. The national team means a lot, I think Balogun knows that”, West told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” It’s nice to see a player who still feel that way about the colours of Nigeria, that alone means a lot to some of us who have represented Nigeria in the past”, he remarked.

Mujtahida: It was still a conservative set-up. Not parked bus but conservative. That is Rohr's preference but I feel and honestly believe we can be more explosive with a more offensive set-up. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Napoleon55(m): 4:13pm On Oct 17, 2017 |
what Rohr is doing is the best he can do,and is expected that he play the same at the world cup proper,unless if he is able to master other better formations during the friendlies,which is highly unlikely. therefore,playing conservatively,which some will see as defensive is good for now. the thing is we are operating a defensive formation,but we are not really playing defensive, it seems that we are defensive or we pack bus due to the choices the players we use. i use to think so,but after carefully examine it,i understand that we using two defensive but attacking minded midfielders(Ndidi and Onazi) ,which is different as pure out diffensive midfielder. so because there won't be any easy game at the world cup,i expect Rohr to continue with same method he is currently using. untill after the WC we can change to other more attacking formation, 1 Like |

bataderemi: Craig Shakespeare: Leicester City sack manager four months after appointment Leicester City have sacked manager Craig Shakespeare just four months after he signed a three-year deal to take the job on a permanent basis. The Foxes are third from bottom in the Premier League and have not won any of their past six league matches. Shakespeare, 53, succeeded title winner Claudio Ranieri in February, initially on a temporary basis. After steering the Foxes away from trouble to finish in 12th place, he was given the job permanently in June. Shakespeare won eight of his 16 games in charge last season, and led the club to the Champions League quarter-finals. His departure follows a 1-1 draw with West Brom on Monday. The last time Leicester went six league matches without a victory, Ranieri was sacked - nine months after leading them to the title. http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/41656917 |

However I can't be naive as to think that football is all about attacking, attack, attack. No! You defend solidly, you attack furiously. Even at that one still has to adjust one's game according to the opposition one is playing. But if football can be played beautifully, as an art, I'd love it. “Beauty comes first.
