Just watched Nigeria Brazil Atlanta 96... We used to play with so much swagger.. We dominated Brazil in that second half... That standard has seriously dropped.

Did you honestly ask what Salah did last season? You think liverpool spent 35m on him for doing nothing?? The award covers the whole year. I'd be surprised if Moses won.

Standby Players On Alert As Ighalo Pulls Out Of Algeria, Argentina Clashes

Chanchung Yatai forward Odion Ighalo has been ruled out of Nigeria’s upcoming games against Algeria and Argentina next month after picking up an injury for his team.

Ighalo is set to be out for a period of three weeks, which effectively rules him out of the Eagles November 10 and 14th game against Algeria and Argentina respectively.

The former Watford of England forward will contact the technical crew later today to intimate them of his withdrawal according to the print edition of Sportinglife Newspaper.

His withdrawal means one of the players placed on standby will move up to the main team as replacement for the forward, who has regained his spot in the Nigeria national team after playing second fiddle to Kelechi Iheanacho for some time.

One among the trio of Kenneth Omeruo, Alhassan Ibrahim and Brian Idowu who are on standby will most likely replace Ighalo for the game against Algeria and Argentina

The individual abilities of those players were top notch. That was even an Olympics team and not the main super eagles.

I have always said it that I have seen better youth players than what we have today.

We just hype most of our young players of today. most of them are not up to the marks.

None of the current Nigerian players who are 23 or less would have made that team's starting line up.

Pls check Atlanta 96 players out.

Super Eagles players in the team

1.Uche Okechuckwu.

2.Daniel Amokachie.

3.Emmanuel Amuneke.

4.Victor Ikpeba

5.Sunday Olishe,

6.Austin Okocha

7.Tijani Babangida.

8.Taribo West.

9.Kanu Nwankwo

The fringe Super Eagles players in the team

10.Wilson Oruma

11.Celestine Babayaro

12.Mobi Oparaku

So how do you expect present players who are 23 or less to make this team full of already established Super Eagles players,honestly if it's today a lot w called this team a cheat,surprisedly Uche Okechuckwu, Daniel Amokachie, Emmanuel Amuneke are the only over aged in the team.

Honestly anytime i look at this team am always give respect to Siasia's feat at 2008 and 2016 Olympics,with bunch of average players compared to Atlanta 96 which was full of Super Eagles players.

Mickael2:



But Rohr is better tactically than Sia1 right? Relax let's get this international break over with then I will come back with full force

elyte89:




So,meaning. ROHR shld also consider d 0lympic 96'set for camping cos nothing wey we no go c for dis thread

Etebo ,muazzam and odey they all out from npfl their are still plenty of them in the npfl

Kog45:
Haba Micho u and Rohr on tactics,well apart from being sentimental sometimes on players selection,Siasia is good tactically(2005 semi final against Holland)tells me the guy is good,also 2008 Olympics.

Truly Argentina match w be a true test for Rohr tactically even Algeria match but nevertheless is still getting it right but South Africa match still put a question match on his tactical prowess cos with the absence of few key players the team crumbled.

Did Salah win Anything? No! You will say Abumayang but but which players competed with him closely . Salah mane? My question again is What did these guys do for club and country in the year in review?

Icon4s:


What we have above is close to what we have presently in terms of age. As over 70% of the current crop are 23 or less. And they are also established super Eagles players. Yet none would have made that 96 team starting line up. Maybe 1 or 2 would make the squad at most.

Good you made reference to Siasia's 2008 Olympics team. Trace that team back to his 2005 U20 team which was the bedrock of the 2008 Olympics team. That 2005 U20 also had class and quality. I remember repeatedly mentioning that the Siasia's 2005 Flying Eagles were better than the Manu's 2015 Flying Eagles. I got attacked for it but I still maintain my view on that.

We have to accept the fact. we hype our current team too much.

Icon4s:


I am sure it is an error. The 2005 Holland games was in the quarter finals. We beat Morocco 3-0 in the semis.

Icon4s:
2017 APOTY award: Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane are ahead IMO.

Kog45:
I get your point but it w be unfair to compare the present players with Atlanta 96 team.

In Atlanta 96 team we have Uche Okechuckwu, Daniel Amokachie, Emmanuel Amuneke, Austin Okocha,Sunday Olishe,Victor Ikpeba who are members of US 94 team with only Ikpeba not regular and Tijani Babangida was on standby.

These are already established Super Eagles material playing in under aged tournament and too early to compare the team.

On over hype,it depends on individual,have never for once hype this team but not yet time to compare,let's see what happens in the WC,with quarter final berth then w compared.

Yea Salah but wish Moses gets it but u know CAF dey craze sometimes when it comes to APOTY.
