People actually did na.. if you mean during the WCQs Modified I clamored for Enyema when Ikeme was comfortable between the sticks, and some people said we should leave Enyeama alone.. I clamored for Emenike at a point in time. i think I almost made a case for Obasi if I can still remember. I argued that Osaze was not finished after all (that's wasn't clamoring). Truth is after we qualified, I never cared about any of them.. but why una dey bring the matter sef.? if una bring the matter, I go talk, and I will remain objective. soetanoreoluwa: |

Martins ,osaze and uche don't also have any business with super eagle. My cf for world cup Iheanacho Ighalo Tammy or kayode 4 Likes |

Not bad per se except that it should not be everytime. I know why you do it is to ensure that we come out good but don't make it your place to always be the one to make negative calls. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: Are you serious about that? Romario better than Ronaldo!? Oga, Ronaldo was the best player in the world twice before the world cup. Do you really know why Romario was dropped? He was omitted due to indiscipline and not because of old age or lack of performance. Martins case is very different. Ighalo statistics is 26 matches, 15 goals and 6 assists while Martins is 13 matches, 7 goals and 4 assists. Statistically speaking who is doing well? 1 Like |

soetanoreoluwa:On a very sincere note: when we were talking about mistakes of our past world cup experiences and we noted that both the coach and the players were inexperienced for 94 and several others I wanted to suggest that Rohr should go visit Westerhof and NFF should organise an interactive session between old players and this ones so that the old can give the new ones the benefits of their experiences but I refrained after thinking about it and I felt it's too much drama. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: Na lie. He came and many were impressed he played the no 10 role better than Mikel Obi. I can't forget because many people around me praised him. In short, people blamed Iheanacho at lot in that game and were not impressed with his game. |

IS FRANCIS UZOHO THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA'S GOALKEEPING? Kunle Fayiga 26/10/2017 With the 18-year old impressing for Deportivo, would he already be a good choice for the Super Eagles? When 18-year-old Francis Uzoho made his debut for Deportivo La Coruna against Eibar earlier this month, he became the youngest foreign goalkeeper in the Spanish First Division. He is also the second youngest player to make his bow in the top flight this term, behind Real Madrid’s Moroccan wonderkid Achraf Hakimi. It was a memorable occasion for Uzoho, as he was able to keep a clean sheet at the first time of asking, making a number of brilliant saves as Depor took a point. He made his second consecutive appearance against Olarenwaju Kayode’s Girona on Monday at the Riazor, and while his side lost 2-1, he still put in another good performance. Could already Uzoho be considered for the Nigeria national team despite his age? With regular number one Carl Ikeme out with acute Leukaemia, Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr is left with Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Daniel Akpeyi, Dele Ajiboye and Dele Alampasu as his current options for the World Cup in Russia. Carl Ikeme Although Ezenwa kept goal in the double header against Cameroon and against Zambia, it remains to be seen whether he will be between the sticks at the Mundial. Akpeyi's chances of starting appear to be slim following his underwhelming showing in the recent Nations Cup qualifying defeat by South Africa. Reports of Vincent Enyeama coming out of retirement keeps surfacing but at the time of writing, there’s no concrete sign he’s willing to add to his record 101 international caps. This is where Uzoho could be presented the opportunity to make his senior bow. The 18-year old joined Deportivo from Aspire Football Academy in Qatar and was part of the triumphant Nigeria squad at the 2013 U-17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. Ultimately, he didn’t get to taste any action as he was behind Alampasu and Abdulazeez Abubakar in the pecking order.Pepe Mel He made four apperances for Deportivo B team, keeping three sheets and was drafted in the senior side when regular goalie Ruben Martinez injured his finger. The experienced Costel Pantilimon was available to take over, but recently sacked Depor coach Pepe Mel decided to stick with the young Uzoho. “A coach has to act according to the things he sees in training," Mel said after Uzoho's debut. "He is only 18 and he can barely speak Spanish but I know what he can offer this club.” The teenager could follow in the footsteps of the legendary Peter Rufai, who played for the Deportivo between 1997 and 1999 and had an illustrious career with the Super Eagles where he won the 1994 Afcon and reached the last 16 of the 1994 and 1998 World Cups. Peter Rufai, Augustine Eguavoen and Stephen Keshi The final World Cup qualifier away to Algeria presents a good opportunity to test Francis as, with Nigeria having already qualified, there's nothing at stake for the Super Eagles. Some might say it’s still too early to involve him because of his age, but Kelechi Iheanacho made his senior bow at the age of 19 and has become a key player today. This is the era where youngsters are making their mark way before their peak and goalkeepers aren’t excluded. David De Gea made headlines at 19 when he made his bow for Atletico Madrid in 2009. Today he is the undisputed number one for Manchester United and Spain. Gianluigi Donnarumma is another goalie who, at just 18, is the next big thing in the Italian Serie A, having made his debut with AC Milan in 2015 aged 16, an Italian top flight record for goalkeeper. The wonderkid has become a regular for the Rossoneri and looks set to take the national tem mantle from Gianluigi Buffon once the veteran decides to finally call it a day. Donnarumma is proof that when you're good enough, you're old enough. In an African context, it's worth noting that Fabrice Ondoa was just 21 when he excelled during Cameroon's run to the Nations Cup title earlier this year, having also been the Indomitable Lions' starting stopper at the continental showpiece in Equatorial Guinea two years ago. Francis has the quality to write the same kind of story as these aforementioned keepers, and if he continues in his current vein for Depor, then Rohr may have a big decision to make imminently. --Goal.com http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/is-francis-uzoho-the-future-of-nigerias-goalkeeping/k999pyud0oyz1ubanm8at51qc 4 Likes |

Mujtahida: I think Martins is matured and won't succumb to that degrading level. If he makes the team, I believe he'd get the respect he deserves, not demanding for it through ingenuine practices. I've never heard any news about misbehaviors from him. I don't want him in the team and I believe Rorh shares that sentiment too. 1 Like |
