Humility017: I will like to praise the NFF for their bold step in organizing this game. It shows we are ready to make strides to improve and I hope we have more high profile games after this. I doubt Rohr will give it a go and so expect the same set-up we used against Zambia. People think Argentina is poor because of their challenging run in the qualifiers. However, I see different. They are coached by Sampaoli who coached Chile in the last World Cup and Copa America. His system requires adjusting and I feel that was what held the Argentines back. With their last performance, it shows they are getting to understand the system and I see an upward trajectory in the performance index of the Argentines. We are going to meet a tough Argentine team that will test us. They will come at us with full intensity. We can contain them but the game is titled towards the Argentines. 4 Likes |

Swansea City Expert Warns Leicester : Be Wary Of Tammy Abraham Published: October 21, 2017 Swansea City Expert Warns Leicester : Be Wary Of Tammy Abraham Chris Wathen, Chief Football Writer for Wales Online, has shared his thoughts on Saturday's Premier League meeting between Swansea City and Leicester City at the Liberty Stadium. Looking at the strengths of the Swans, Wathen has named Nigerian wonderkid Tammy Abraham as the most dangerous player on the team, with the Chelsea loanee scoring eighty percent of the goals netted by the Welsh outfit in the Premier League so far, four from eight games. ''Abraham has been very much a bright spark with four goals in eight games. He is somebody who has a bright future in the game,'' Wathen told lcfc.com. ''You feel there is more to come from the likes of Renato Sanches, too, who joined on loan from Bayern Munich, rather surprisingly. ''They have kept a lot of clean sheets and there are good foundations in place.'' Nigeria internationals Ahmed Musa, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi are in contention to travel to Wales for the match day nine fixture.

Why Three Lions Of England Want A Friendly Game Against Super Eagles Of Nigeria October 20, 20170168 An explanation on why the senior national team of England approached Nigeria for a friendly game sometimes around next year as part of their preparations for the World Cup in Russia has been unravelled by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team. History shows that England have faced five African countries in the lasyt seven World Cup tournaments since they faced Morocco in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, and there are possibilities of drawing another African nation this time around as they are in Pot 2, while African nations are mostly going to be in Pot 3 and 4 during the draws in December. England have also not fair too well against African nations at the World Cup as they have only two wins from five games against African nations, and both wins came against Tunisia in the 1990 and 1998 World Cup, where they beat the North Africans 1-0 and 2-0 respectively. Since then they have failed to pick up wins against Nigeria ( 0-0 in 2002), Algeria (0-0 in 2010), and they recorded same scoreline against Egypt at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Furthermore England are desperate to face a different opponent especially one from Africa in their build up to the World Cup as it will help them have a different feel than most of their games, where they have played against either European or South America teams.

Joebie: I do not think Leon Balogun will make it. Certainly, I see Awaziem filling that spot. Apart from that, much the same. However, not my preference at all. I would have preferred a compact defence/midfield set-up with a free attacking forward line. ![]() With Mikel Obi and Ndidi staying compact with the defence. The full backs, Aina and Shehu will offer support going forward one at a time but in a limited fashion to reduce the gaps on the flanks and also help keep the defensive midfield area compact. This would have been my preferred approach. No Onazi because the role calls for serious discipline of the defensive midfielders. |

TheGoodJoe: Being a tap in merchant is nothing to be ashamed of. The only limitation is that he may not function properly in a team without 2 line breakers who will break the first and second defensive line which leaves him with the easy job of tapping it in. No wonder he couldn't function properly against South Africa owing to the absence of Moses who is the only line breaker we have in the final third. |

Joebie: Subs will depend on the complexion of the game. As the game progresses, the subs will come from what happens. I hope Rohr gives Onyekuru a spot on the bench, in case we need to make an attacking change to run at the Argentines. I feel he is a better choice than A. Musa. |

safarigirl:I surprised o,some see WC as if it's a child play.I watched Osimhen recently for Wolsburg when he came in for Origi. The young chap still has a long way to go,not yet there coz he missed a chance that could have given him more playing time or even a starting place. The guy is promising and i believe with more playing time and good coaching,he w soon be a force to reckon with in bundesliga. |

Argentina used black magic as Leo Messi got them to the World Cup Football (soccer) greatest goals and highlights | 101 Great Goals Argentina, Leo Messi & World Cup Once again, Leo Messi proved what a genius he is during the last international break. Argentina were on the verge of missing out on the 2018 World Cup. They needed a result away at Ecuador to book their spot in Russia next summer. And then Messi flipped the script. Ecuador 1 – Leo Messi 3 The match started terribly for Argentina as Romario Ibarra scored in the first minute of the game. But then Leo Messi came into his own, dragging Argentina to the World Cup virtually singlehandedly. Goals on 12 and 20 ensured that Argentina had some breathing room going into the break. The icing on the cake came from Messi with a glorious third goal, a chip over Ecuador goalkeeper Maximo Banguera. This marked Leo Messi’s 44th career hat-trick. 39 for Barcelona, 5 for Argentina. And, in a nice touch, the hat-trick goal was Messi’s 50th for Argentina since he was been wearing the iconic number 10 shirt. Argentina used black magic In the aftermath of the Ecuador game, it’s been confirmed that Argentina used black magic in Quito. The Argentine FA employed a so-called sorcerer, or healer, for their final World Cup qualifier. The sorcerer’s name is Brujo Manuel, and according to initial reports he was hired on the advise of former Man United midfielder Juan Sebastien Veron. After the Ecuador game, sorcerer Manuel explained what he did to help his national team. As reported in Clarin, Manuel said: I did what I had to do, I gave Argentina a hand. Manuel avoided the exact details of his black magic skills. But the rumours are he interacted with all the Argentina shirts before the game, while he performed a spiritual walk in the stadium before kick off. Veron: ‘It wasn’t me’ On Thursday, Ole have published quotes from Veron on Argentina’s use of black magic. Veron has rebuffed claims that Argentina hired the sorcerer on his advice: I did not recommend Manuel. I know him because he’s from La Plata, but I did not recommend him to anyone. The plot thickens… Will Argentina take the sorcerer with them to Russia too? All Rights Reserved © |
