Barring any unforeseen circumstance, the Group A players are definitely going to Russia:

Group A
1. Victor Moses
2. Obi Mikel
3. Wilfred Ndidi
4. Kelechi Iheanacho (will definitely make the team. Aside from being one of our best strikers, he's also great for team unity)
5. Alex Iwobi
6. Eddy Onazi
7. Leon Balogun
8. Troost Ekong
9. *Moses Simon*
10. Chidozie Awaziem
11. Shehu Abdullahi
12. *Odion Ighalo*
13. *John Ogu*
14. *Oghenekaro Etebo* (likely to make it because he's a utility player)

Group B - Very likely to make the list - 90% chance
1. Brian Idowu
2. Tyronne Ebuehi
3. Ahmed Musa
5. Kenneth Omeruo
6. Francis Uzoho
7. Mikel Agu
8. Ola Aina
9. Elderson Echiejile (his experience might help him make team, if Aina fails to excel)
10. Joel Obi (most likely to make team if fully fit)
11. Ikechukwu Ezenwa

Group C - still on the outside looking in - less than 50% chance:
1. Anthony Nwakaeme
2. Olarenwaju Kayode
3. Henry Onyekuru
4. Sarenren Bazee
5. Isaac Success (supposed to be in group B but his attitude might cost him)
6. Dele Alampasu
7. Ajiboye (the new CHAN guy. Having seen him play though but I wanna go by all the commentaries here and elsewhere)

Great compilation!

But I want you to note the asterisk* still have much to prove and they can easily be unsettled by any in Group B, C or D(the ones you've failed to list. The Uduohkai, Akpoguma etc...)

Super Eagles Squad : Mikel, Moses Out




Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi and Chelsea star, Victor Moses, are some of the regular players that have been ruled out of the international friendly match between Nigeria DR Congo slated for May 28 and in either Abuja or Uyo.

The national team is expected to bid the country farewell before they depart for the 2018 World Cup with top government functionaries including President Muhammadu Buhari expected to be present at the venue.

However, sources in the Nigeria Football Federation has told our correspondent that regular players in the Super Eagles starting line might not feature in the game.

The sources said the Manager of the national team Gernot Rohr wanted to use the friendly match to test some of the fringe players in the squad.

The source said that Rohr was drawing up a list of 35 players that would prosecute the six friendly matches ahead of the World Cup from which 23 would make the final cut for the Mundial.

“Mikel, Moses, Odion Ighalo and some other big players may not be part of the match against DR Congo. These players are not expected to feature in the first phase of camping which is going to be in either Abuja or Uyo. Home based stars and some other fringe players from Europe are going to prosecute the friendly that is organised for the team to bid the country farewell ahead of the World Cup.

“Rohr is compiling a list of 35 players with those who prosecuted the World Cup qualifiers expected to dominate it. The final list of 23 is expected to come out on June 4 about two days after the friendly match against England,” the source said.

The source added that a few players from the Nigeria’s squad to the ongoing African Nations Championship in Morocco would be part of the 35-man list.

“Captain Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi and about four other players from CHAN team will be in the 35-man list, that I can say authoritatively,” the source said.

Experienced Chelsea Goalkeeper Could Be In Goal For Argentina Vs Nigeria




Argentina manager Jorge Sampaoli is mulling over inviting Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero to the national team ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

Argentine sports newspaper Ole writes on its online edition that
Sampaoli is analyzing the situation of the third goalkeeper, and he likes Caballero's current experience.

Manchester United's Sergio Romero is the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper of La Albiceleste, with Nahuel Guzmán of Tigres the back-up keeper, Caballero will fight for the last spot with Gerónimo Rulli (Real Sociedad) and Agustín Marchesín (América).

The 36-year-old Willy Caballero has yet to make his senior debut and was last called up to the Argentina team for friendlies against Croatia and Portugal in November 2014.

He was in goal in the final of the 2001 Fifa U20 World Cup, posting a shutout in Argentina's 3-0 win over Ghana, and won a gold medal at the Olympic Games three years later.

Nigeria will lock horns with the South Americans for the fifth time in the group stage of a World Cup on June 26 at Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg.

Ex-Flying Eagles Skipper Picks Up Kortrijk's MOTM Award Vs Genk




Former Flying Eagles skipper Abdul Ajagun was recognized for his outstanding performance in Kortrijk's 3-2 win over Racing Genk in the Cup on Tuesday, with the club awarding him the Man of the Match accolade.

The attacking midfielder tallied his sixth goal of the season in all competitions in the 23rd minute, making the score 1-1 in the process, and was also involved in the build-up to Kortrijk's second goal scored by Azouni.

Ajagun needs only one goal to surpass his single-season scoring record (six goals) since he moved to Europe, which he first set during the 2013-14 season with Panathinaikos, then equaled the following season.

His six goals this season - three in the Belgian First Division A and three in the Cup - came after 24 appearances in all competitions.

The former Dolphins star enjoyed loan spells at Levadiakos and Roda JC before he was acquired by Kortrijk on a two-year deal last summer.

Ajagun and his teammates will head to the Luminus Arena for the return leg of the Belgian Cup on February 6.

I agree with the asterisk. I have never been a big fan of Simon Moses. I have never been impressed with his football IQ, so to say. But he works hard.
Jude Odion Ighalo. Again, I am not a big fan, but he seems to be the only out and out striker we have in the team right now. And in addition, Rohr seems to like big and strong target men.
John Ogu - I agree. he doesn't have it in the bag yet. But I think he did himself a big favor on his two last outings.
Etebo - Again, I agree. He really went down the perking order with the stinker he had in our last game against Algeria; but I still believe in him. He was arguably our best player in the game against Algeria in Uyo. And I think Rohr would strongly consider him because he's one of the few utility players we have in the team.

Ex-PSG Teen Star Ogbeche Back On The Goal Trail For Willem II




Willem II Nigerian goal machine, Bartholomew Ogbeche is back in the groove for the Tricolores in their 2-2 quarterfinal Holland Cup clash draw with Roda Kerkrade on Thursday evening.

The 33-year old pulled Willem level after 39 minutes of the game after Simon Gustafson had earlier shot their visitors into the lead from the spot.

Donis Avdijaj profited from an Adil Auassar's assist to power Roda back in front three minutes after the restart but Kostantinos Tsimikas made sure the the Tilburg-based side would take the game to extra time as the battle for the last four heated up.

After the ensuing 30 minutes which failed to produce any goals, William Ndenge's miss in the shootout for Roda proved enough as Ogbeche and his side advanced to the next round.

For the former PSG whizkid, the goal was his ninth in all competitions for the club this season, a tally which continued one of the most productive campaigns for the journey man striker.

Willem II would meet either of Feyenoord, AZ Alkmaar or FC Twente in the semifinals of the competition.
