Icon79: I think the word obsession can not be used here. That's just so far away from reality, don't know how you got it. The last time we played England was in 1994 over 23 years ago. How many irrelevant friendlies have we played with Jamaica and Ghana. Considering that outside of Nigeria the highest concentration of Nigerians is in the UK. It makes real sense a game in London or Manchester will be like a home game. But apart from emotive sentiment it is very good preparation for the SE to see how far we have gone with our preparations for Russia 2018. 1 Like |

I personally like the Egypt friendly... Egypt is a ball playing side and their pattern is same as that of other European teams like Spain,Germany etc... I think to play the best team in Africa currently is a welcome development for me... And also the decision to play the match at Abuja is a top notch decision I applaud.. It's been long we played a match at the most expensive stadium in Nigeria. ..and I would like to see what the arena and atmosphere has to offer... Good one by the nff committee. . ![]() |

.The Super Eagles of Nigeria will play Egypt and two other countries in preparations ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The friendly matches will be played between January and May next year, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has said. The Secretary General of the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, Muhammed Sanusi, revealed this while speaking on the sidelines of NFF’s 2018 budget defence with the House of Representatives Committee on Sports. He said, although no final decision has been reached, the three friendly matches would be played in Abuja before the World Cup to be hosted by Russia in June. He said, “We’re looking at three countries. We want to play in Abuja. We haven’t finalized, but Egypt is one of them.” On inviting additional players to join the Eagles, Sanusi said, “We always allow the coach to do that. We don’t have a hand in the selection of players. It’s up to the coach to bring in the players he wants to bring.” The committee, chaired by Goni Lawan Bukar (APC, Yobe) had earlier commended the NFF leadership under its president, Amanju Pinnick for bringing sanity to the Nigerian football. The committee said though it was yet to get the details of the 2018 NFF proposal, it would give it much priority and make adequate allocations for the federation to succeed in its programmes. http://anstalk.com/world-cup-super-eagles-play-egypt-two-others-friendlies/ 1 Like |

Really pleased with the fact that Balogun has started playing regularly. He needs the sharpness. Sarenren-bazee on the bench again, hopefully he plays some minutes to mark his full return. We need to see him in the March friendlies. Ogbeche continues his scoring form. 8 goals in 7 games 5 Likes |

That's not the point. My point is that friendly match against England at this time doesn't serve us well. None of the teams we're facing in Russia plays similar style with England. We should be scheduling friendly matches against teams that are similar in style to Croatia, Iceland, and Argentina. O pari somehow: |

The last time I checked, the population of Nigeria is over 3 times that of Egypt. And if you're to count only soccer loving people, you'd realize that we have about 10x more soccer loving people in Nigeria compared to Egypt. Hence, if it were so, I don't see how Mo Sallah can beat VicMo in such a popularity contest. O pari Icon4s: |

I had already made my opinion known. I voted Victor Moses because he was the better player in season 16/17. Salah is the better player for 2017 calendar year IMO. So when you say he deserved it from what angle are you speaking? Icon4s: 1 Like |

That's my sentiments, exactly! We need to play teams that are well organized (similar style to our opponents - Iceland and Croatia) ... countries like: Denmark, Sweden, Serbia etc. I feel that this England game would expose us and lay us bare to our opponents. And you can bet that Croatia and Iceland would be watching. O pari Mujtahida: |

Icon79: Hahaha go back and check again. Nigeria's population is just about twice that of Egypt. And it may interest you to know that of the soccer loving people of Nigeria not up to 20% care about the national team and players. They only care when we are playing well in the World Cup. That is why safarigirl coined a name for them: "plastic fans". Go to Egypt, I don't think up to 5% of their football loving population care about European football. They may just only watch their players who are based in Europe. What they care mostly about are the Pharaohs, Zamalek, Al- Ahli, Ismaili, and the likes. If you think some of our Nigerian fans can vote a 100 times expect so or even more from those fanatic Egyptian fans. Mohamed Salah is like a god in Egypt. 1 Like |

Icon79: How many of these people were even aware of the vote? Of those aware, how many bothered to vote? Of those who voted, how many voted for Moses? If it is by population alone, we will win but there are other factors at play and Egyptians are more passionate about their players and team. |

Bro, are you on twitter and Facebook? Because there was an all out campaign for VicMo on both websites. gosh, even the Chelsea twitter account was promoting VicMo and urging people to vote for him. The NFF, many Super Eagles players on twitter, and even the NFF sef. I honestly thought that VicMo had it in the bag. O pari tbaba1234: |
