Joebie: Not during before the group stage... Yes I remember you did... Enyeama case is different Emenike case also different... He retired voluntarily Osaze.. That one I remember you really lay alot of emphasis on his recall during the WC qualifiers... You know the reason cos he was performing in Indonesia league... And that's the last time we heard from him... I dunno why dem dey bring am o.... Tank God we no be coach Rohr... If Rohr feels They are good enough with derailing hispurpose and plan for the SE... He should extend his invite to them... Shikkenah |

Humility017: You don't seem to get me. I love Martins as a player, so I won't join the bandwagon of those who'd condemn everything about him just to make a point. Personally, I'd rather we try out Dessers and see what he has to offer before considering Martins. NB: I never said Martins is better than anyone. Read my earlier post. junnyjake: |

Mujtahida: You deviate from the substance of this discourse with a your question, which really is sour grapes. Are any of these remotely, Ighalo, KC, Kayode anywhere near the tag best striker in the world. So then why use it with regards to Obagoal. The simple question is are the better than him as it stands. That's why I said consider the ability and experiential know how of Obagoal and put him in Girona or Leicester what do you think the outcome would be We really don't know the true quality Of Obagoal until tested. Put any of these players in his Chinese team and would they excel So to write Obagoal off is grossly unfair and certainly not in the interest of the national team. 3 Likes |

komekn: I'm not against obagoal inclusion to SE... I will say it again iM a big fan of obagoal... But if Rohr feels he can do magic than ighalo, nacho and Larrykay he should invite him If he feels he won't disrupt his plan and game plan he should invite him If he thinks it won't affect the team chemistry he should invite.. Currently ighalo is performing better than Martins in Chinese league My submission! 1 Like |

No we don't disband the team, but we work on our lapses. What top European oppositions may bring could expose other areas we did not see during the qualifiers, and it could expose some players as well -- those we became comfortable with. Questions. For Example, if Ezenwa lets in a number of goals cheaply, will many of us not call for his head? I'm not even settled about Ezenwa. But that was just an example. Icon4s: |

Kog45: Mikel spent most of his time in Chelsea, I doubt he earned up to 100k weekly then. Don't forget how harsh the tax system is in England, bulk of his pay would be going into tax. There might have been a decline since he obtained his British citizenship though. Martins has been in the game even before Mikel, most of the countries he's played in, taxing is not as tough as England and that means more income, Mikel isn't earning much more than him presently in China. Martins lives a more ostentatious lifestyle, so I might be deceived by what I'm seeing. When it comes to endorsement, I don't really know. 2 Likes |

Icon4s: Like I have said many times, the mark of a tactical coach is your ability to use what you have well. Now you said no national team plays that way. Let's look at Germany, their '10' is Muller, I need not tell you that Muller is probably going to be the highest goalscorer in the history of the world cup before he retires and what does he do? Creative? No. He just picks up the pieces and it is successful. When Muller does not play or when they do not play with a true 9(like when Gotze plays), Muller moves in as the main CF but that's for later. The point here is that Muller is the perfect definition of an Alli-esque playing performing very well for the best national team presently. Now I am not saying Etebo should be our 10, no. But you made it sound as if Etebo cannot fit into our 10 role, you said he did it well at U23, and he has only been tried once in that position in the senior team, why not give him more time |

On the Algeria tie, considering your selection. 1. Echiejile's injury situation should give Aina the nod to start at LB. And even if Echeijile is fit, it's high time we gave Aina a full debut. Everything else in your backline looks perfect. No need wasting another sub slot in the defense. 2. Iwobi for Mikel is perfect. 3. Moses Simon in LW, and Kayode in RW. 4. Iheanacho for Ighalo as early as the 60th minute or so. Of course I expect that Kayode and Iheanacho can always swap. On Argentina, considering your selection 1. The GK substitution should happen at half time. 2. Backline, perfect 3. The substitutions should happen around the half hour mark. This na real test for the players.. IT'S NOT A MUST WIN. Let Ogu get more game time. Modified How about handing Uzoho a debut against Algeria instead? We've seen much of Ezenwa at this stage. Let's see him more against Argentina safarigirl: 1 Like |

safarigirl:Na Osimhen na. Ever since Osimhen was invited komekn won't rest. Even now that he has not been invited he still won't let the young man be. I did some little study on football and I discovered that football is really deep and I feel Osimhen at his age might just be an 'illiterate' in Germany learning football. At least his time stretches from now into the future, not like some whose time have passed. And they say he works hard. Let him keep working hard. If he is determined to succeed nothing in heaven or on earth can stop him. |

Joebie: Now you are beginning to get my point. I tell you that if Nigeria should lose to Argentina by as much as 3 -4 goals most fans here would clamor for the disbandment of the team. That's how Nigerian fans have always been. I am also expecting Nigeria to be on the back foot especially the early part of the game. How we handle the first 20mins would be crucial. The friendly will really stretch our team and thank God Argentina are coming with a full squad. No shame if we lose to them but we must not be easily shoved away. I am not tipping Nigeria to win but the boys should play with a winning mentality. I also agree about Ezenwa. I see him as a goalie that can easily chop up to 4 goals when we face a team like Argentina if the team should have a bad day in office. I said something like about Ezenwa easily conceding 4 goals before that defeat 4-1 to Ghana at the WAFU tournament. But after it happened as usual Ezenwa's faithful came for his defense. Goalies have their bad days once in a while. But I am not completely sold out on Ezenwa. The only positive I get from him is his level of composer. But some times he over does it. Just look at that penalty we conceded against Cameroon. 1 Like |

Operation Capture German Youth Internationals EXCLUSIVE: Germany-based younsgter ready to play for Nigeria. International Edition By: Ayodeji Tunde | 25/02/2017 [img]http://.com/uploads/2017/02/midhat-jpg-0-02883000-1488013343.jpg[/img] At 15 years old, Midhat Bajric is already carving a niche for himself in the round leather game, little wonder he has been nicknamed the new ‘David Alaba’. Churning out a wonderful performance for the youth side of FC Nurnberg week-in-week-out, Bajric may just be the next big thing on Nigerian football scene as he is already one of the top-rated prospects in German youth football. Already Nigeria football officials are said to be looking at the direction of Ademola Lookman at Everton and Chelsea loanee, Tammy Abraham In this exclusive interview with .com from Germany, Midhat through his representative, Kennedy Chukwuodii opens up on his desire to don the Nigeria colours very soon even though he is eligible to play for as much as three other countries. Excerpt..... : Can you please tell us about yourself: My name is MIDHAT BAJRIC, my father is a Croatian and my mother a German with a Nigerian father, possibly from Lagos. I am 15 years old. I started playing football when I was just 9. I was afraid of injury then, but my brother encouraged me to push even harder. It wasn't easy at first, so many young players like me and it has to be competitive. And the training becoming quite difficult at first but now I am very comfortable and enjoying it a lot. There are reports that you are keen to play for Nigeria, what informed your interests and how has your parents reacted to your planned choice? Yes, that has been my dream; I am white by skin but Nigerian inside. I am a Nigerian, I like to watch Nigeria football players, like Kelechi Iheanacho, John Obi Mikel, Ahmed Musa and others, so many of them. I want to say that I will be very proud to play for Nigeria and make Nigerians proud. My parents support my choice, though my parents are no more together but they still support my dream of playing for Nigeria. I want to visit Abuja, Lagos one day. How much of Nigerian football do you know, and who are your role models? I have been following Nigeria football, recently I watched them in Rio Brazil, I was so proud when they performed well. My role model is Kelechi Iheanacho, Victor Moses, John Obi Mikel and so many of them I can’t remember their names. What target have you set for yourself... Are you keen to start with the age grade sides or you have a tall dream of giving the Super Eagles a shot? I would mind starting with the big boys, it depends on where I am called to represent, but if I should be gambled to the senior team, I play the game of my life to pick a place and make the coach trust me. But if I am called to play in the junior team, why not? I can grow from there. But German football is very strong, we are given big training. [img]http://.com/uploads/2017/02/midhat-with-agent-jp-0-88626800-1488013428.jpg[/img] Does the likes of Leon Balogun who was raised in Germany and now doing well with Nigeria inspire you in any way? Yes, Leon is a very good player, in FSV MAINZ, He is quite a strong player, I look at him and I think I have got a chance in the Nigeria team. What’s your favourite position on the field? I am a central defender, that has been my position and enjoy it so much. I look forward one day to wear green white green. Maybe they will invite me, I don't know but I am so crazy about it. Thank you for your time and all the best The pleasure was mine... Thank you very much. http://.com/exclusive-germany-based-younsgter-ready-to-play-for-nigeria |

lol.. the guy too play..maybe that's what he does to calm tension. So he looks confident always.. WC is serious business, and I'm hoping he ends up as 3rd choice. Anyway not taking anything from him. He was our cover when we needed a GK most. At the end, we will say he had a hand in our qualification, and he deserves to go to the WC at least. Icon4s: |
