He scored in the 53rd minute

Kakamorufu:

Godwin Okpara in court again in Lagos for wife battery.

Remember, he was convicted for raping a 13 year old girl under his care. Jailed for 10 years, got out in 3 yearsfor good behavior. He was deported to Nigeria. His wife also went to jail for torturing the same girl.

What a terrible shame!!

OMANBALA1:



Bros,where did you find the video of Nigeria vs Zambia ? I think somebody took it down from youtube.

tbaba1234:


I found a link online..

Icon4s:


Alex Iwobi is stepping up. He is expected fully step into that AM position once Papa Mikel is ready to hang his boots.

komekn:


Explain more please, why would a Bundesliga club be playing friendlies with the season in full swing. Particularly as once again they are hovering around the relegation zone

I want to make an informed guess that it will be a game dominated by fringe players and youth players so almost a U23 game.

Osimhen has played twice for the first team coming on as a late substitute has not even made the bench in quite a few games. And some are suggesting he is SE top quality material.

OMANBALA1:



Be very careful bros, that might not be the real story. I heard the said girl Godwin rapped was not underage afteral. She was using a made up age to pass her as underage. On getting to France chica cleaned up and oga find better food for backyard....Madam flipped and called eke. Okpara couldnt prove she wasnt underage na there kasala burst.

tbaba1234:


Yes, he was invited to train with the senior team..

OMANBALA1:


Link a brother up,biko.

komekn:


He is promising.

But nowhere near the level of Tega Onomah who is becoming increasingly top rate. I really dont know any young midfielder currently that can run the entire game in England the way he does.

Considering current atmosphere he will be very seriously on Southgates radar. I am wondering why Onomah wasn't invited

komekn:


My opinion is that he has a long way to go to be on the level of Mikel. And Mikel has more than a few years left if competitive football.

Iwobi doesn't have the vision, passing range composure and presence of Mikel indeed may never have. From day one Mikels ability has been consistently top class for more than a decade thats. INDISPUTABLE OUTSTANDING QUALITY.

tbaba1234:
Based on reports, i suspect that this could be the starting line up

Ezenwa
Aina
Shehu
Ekong
Balogun
Ogu
Ndidi
Etebo
Iwobi
Nwakaeme
Iheanacho

tbaba1234:
19 year old, Tayo Edun (Adetayo Oluwatosin Olusegun Edun) was invited to train with England. England is trying to make these young men of dual nationalities feel wanted.

Mickael2:



wait, are you missing the point here? I am to believe that we are the highest scorers, we have the meanest defence and we beat the best teams around, then you are telling me that the guy that is EASILY our own best player does not deserve to be in the team? It does not make any sense, you have players there who barely had 2-3 good games, Mikel was very good(atleast) in every game and once he leaves the pitch the entire team suffered, and he added goals and preassists too

Icon4s:

Asin to manufacture the player?

tbaba1234:
Just rewatched the Zambian game. Second half mainly.

The gulf in class between Iwobi and Simon is big. If Iwobi can be more consistent for Nigeria, I don't see Simon benching him. Key word, consistency because Iwobi has had some stinkers for Nigeria.

In the midfield, Mikel played the attacking role, Ndidi played the CM midfield role while Agu/Onazi sat in front of the defence. Earlier in the campaign, Rohr experimented with a double pivot system. (Against Algeria, Etebo and Onazi played in front of the defence.) Rohr appears to be willing to change systems depending on the game, that is a good thing.

Mikel Obi is the Choirmaster, Everything good goes through him. The short passes between Mikel, Moses and Iwobi was beautiful to watch.

Mikel Agu has good positional discipline. He might not have been too impressive so far but he keeps his position well.

Humility017:

who is tega onomah please...
please this is super eagles thread and not 3 lions thread...
stop using the English football system as a yardstick to judge our players...
those players you mentioning have every thing working for them...good and organised football system...unlike us here in Nigeria I doubt if tega had gone through what oshimen experienced while growing up....

over hyped English groomed players...if England was that England....they would have been edging Germany all this while om world cup tournaments.....



not everyone will be opportuened to.play in England even at that you should not expect a teenager who just changed an environment, football culture and vibes to get so well and smooth in Europe though some can....but definetely the lad is on a gradual progress....I believe if at 18 he could get few minutes under his belt I believe as time goes by...he will definetely get hours provided he keep working hard..

you're so swift to pull down other players just to promote your English groomed players which I wont want to call average....

only God knows if those guys you're mentioning even have a Nigeria passport

tbaba1234:
According to owngoalnigeria, this is the starting line-up released by Rohr after the last training session:

Line Up.

Ikechukwu Ezenwa

Shehu Abdullahi

Ola Aina

Leon Balogun

William Troost-Ekong

Ogehenekaro Etebo

John Ogu

Wilfred Ndidi

Anthony Nwakaeme

Alex Iwobi

Kelechi Iheanacho

tbaba1234:


Yes, he was invited to train with the senior team..

Kakamorufu:
lol. I mean call him up

Humility017:

I have said this severally nothing wrong inviting players like deji, omijiii and any home groom talent to come train with the SE...just to give them exposure...and instill in them...the need to work hard to play for the team in future...and feel wanted...

the nff really are bereft of ideas...
things like this should be introduced....at least to keep this foreign lads who have openly declared for us...

Toylove:

TNx bruv

Joebie:
@bolded. were you talking about Tayo Edun?
He is also English groomed

Modified
Let's respect Komekn 's positions. He is our eyes over there. Those who are in Nigeria should educate us what's going on with Nigerian talents in Nigeria. Saying they are on the streets, is different from someone who goes to watch these teenagers. He can only speak on what he knows.
So please let's be a little more patriotic and go watch these boys in the streets and talk about them here.. maybe post videos.

sidenote: Most of these players are automatically citizens of Nigeria through their parents. Passport is just a document. Even many in Nigeria don't have a Nigerian passport. That does not make them less Nigerian.

Humility017:

I am not against him talking of his players...but pulling down other players just to promote his own like kind of players is what I don't like....

I patiently watch were he was heading to..when he began to berates oshimen...and I believed because he wanted promote onomah.....because that was the conclusion

forgiveness:


Oga, if you don't know Tega means u no dey watch EPL because the same Tega played there though with limited time. Abi you no see Tega Onomah for Europa two seasons ago?

Point to one AM in our National team better than him and don't stop there, tell me which ST is better than Abraham Tega and which LW better pass Ademola Lookman, huh, before you start to dey yan over hyped English groomed players. I never mention Dominic Solanke oooo. I think you saw how he demonstrated he is a very skilful and confident player with that his solo runs before he took a shot during the match against West ham?

Abeg, comot Mikel Obi for the comparison.


Abi, you mean generally English groomed players are over hyped? Is Dele Alli Over hype? Abi, the English groomed players are over hype because somebody snubbed us for England?

If you think English groomed players are over hyped then list and compare Nigerian and British groomed players side by side, make we see who don produced better players pass.
