AIG07:
our crucial game is the one against Croatia. A win will put one of our feet in the second round.

BascoVanVeli:


Niles doesn't have anything to do with Iwoni he is a fullback

BascoVanVeli:


U can't compare the level of CHAN to the Champions League or Confederations Cup which goes on at the same time. Egypt doesn't even participate in CHAN so that should give u an idea.
A player would elect to stay in his country and play CHAN because he wants to represent his country. Players move when the transfer window is open, not only in the summer. Salami moved before the last CHAN and even Chikatara was sold before the last CHAN.

NFF? Replace with 200m people.

In other news, Diego Simeone tips us to qualify out of group. Uncertain about his country though.

Humility017:
Diego Simeone Explains Nigeria Would Have Already Qualified Before Facing Argentina.


One of the most respected coaches in the world and an Argentina World Cup star, Diego Simeone, has picked Croatia as the South Americans toughest opponents in Group D of the 2018 World Cup.

On paper, Simeone argued that the Super Eagles would have accumulated at least four points before they face off with Argentina, which makes their final match of the group a must win fixture.

''The danger in the area is how the games are played, I do not like the order of the matches. Because it happened to us, it happened to us in Japan,'' Simeone told Argentine newspaper La Nacion

Haaa!!!

All these people underrating us are in for a big surprise

We need to really show the world why we are the true Kings of African football in Russia



''Nigeria was the weakest and the first, Sweden was better and in the middle was England, the most powerful. The same as now. Iceland, in theory, all imagine that it will be the easiest rival. If Croatia and Nigeria draw their first game, then a win against Croatia in the second game is mandatory. I explain?

''What happened to us in Japan: we won the opener against Nigeria. But England and Sweden tied. Everyone was happy, but then Sweden beat Nigeria and we were going to the field to play against England and we knew that we could not lose that game. And it happened. Now, of course, if you win the first two games, it will be much easier and none of these accounts will make sense.

''But it is clear that Croatia will be the toughest opponent and that they are in the middle I do not like. You can get to play on the last date against Nigeria, the two with four points or even them with four and we with three, and we know that between the two always the obligation will be Argentina.
''It can go wrong, we already know it. But I explain further: if Nigeria beat Croatia and we beat Iceland; then the second group match with Croatia is dicey because for them it is key, and Nigeria would beat Iceland to add six points.''

Nigeria and Argentina will face off for the fifth time in a group game at the World Cup on June 26, 2018 at Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg.

I have concerns over our striking department.

Just take a lot at the strikers we have in the fold. Only Ighalo and Nwakaeme seem to be getting the desired playing time. And of course we know how we rate the leagues in which they play. Iheanacho and Kayode that I felt by now should be the two weapons of destruction in the team are not really measuring up club- wise. Iheanacho's case is even worse.

As it is now I am open to any striker that can add value to the team. If we are clamoring for competition in the defense then we should also do same for the attack.

The other day joebie rolled out a list of defenders he wants to see in camp. Why all the emphasis on the defense? As far as I am concerned by the time Rohr screens out the best of the crop of defenders we have already we are good to go. I am not even rooting for any new inclusion in the defense.

Where I want Rohr to throw in competition is in the attack. Rohr and his crew should monitor Paul Onuachu and Junior Ajayi closely. They may turn out to be better than 1 or 2 of the strikers we have already.

As for Tammy. I think we should leave him out of the world cup. If truly he wants to play for Nigeria his loyalty should be tested with a trip to Libya or Seychelles.

oloriooko:
If Tammy desires to be part of SE i think he shpuld be welcomed at least he plays most times and not a constant bench warmer like Nacho.
Except Nacho moves out on loan this January then he's not fit to be in Russia and it will be a great injustice to other strikers scoring goals week in week out in other leagues. I wish Tammy can be bold to declare for Nigeria

AIG07:
Tammy the Beloved in a Dilemma.

Sorry Kid, Nigerians don't forget easily.
Ask Nedum, Agbolahor etc.

When next you're presented with such opportunity you weigh up your CHANCES before taking a leap.

Tammy is a bench warmer as well.. at least in recent weeks before Bony's injury. He also has not scored a goal in ages.

Humility017:


just read what you wrote....
when I said...you have strong aversion for nancho...you claim it was not true...

who are the strikers firing in all cylinders?
who amongst the strikers who have manage to score few goals will command a starting berth in Leicester...?

I have no problem wit nancho provided he keeps playing for the reserve team weekly...
after all one of US here have argued that the EPL 2 is even better than and more ranked than some leagues like Danish, Norwegian leagues...etc

and for Tammy Abraham....benching in nancho or being called to the super eagles...I have nothinh to say....

no country not even Madagascar will love have a non-committed player in their team...even if the player is messi..

that have been the problem of Togo for sometime now...keep relaying on a non-committed player like adebayo and ivory coast was able to discover this by letting go of yaya toure and now you want Nigeria to be a victim wit such a cocky tall for nothing Tammy Abraham...

Icon4s:


Wait. Are you sure you have been following the CHAN competition at all?

Firstly you said this would be Rabiu Ali's first CHAN. Rabiu Ali that is a house hold name when it comes to this competition.

And now you say Chikatara moved before the last CHAN. The same Chikatara that became a household name in the last CHAN after coming in as a second half substitute for Tunde Adeniji to score 3 goals. Chikatara also scored our only goal in the 1-1 draw against Tunisia in the second game.

OK o

So, Zappacosta replaced Moses, gave an assist and would have scored if not for the post

Loogan:

Arsenal scored the two goals when Zappa was on the pitch.
Chelsea rarely concede when Moses plays, with all his incredible flair he makes a huge sacrifice in the way they play by staying back to help out incase of counter attacks, he's just learning how to be a wing back his offensive attributes are there let him develop his defensive discipline as he is doing.
Do you know with all of Alonso's goals, in contes mind his best and most reliable wing back is v Moses, he is also one of his most important players.

EmmGee:

yea. But he plays on the wings. Iwobi used to play on the wings in 4231. But now as a 10 in 3421
