The current France team is fully loaded with stars, just like Belgium. In fact, aside from Brazil, I think France is probably the deepest team in Russia. But I am not afraid of France. I think we can beat France .... we could've beaten them in Brazil, but this time there would be no escaping defeat if we meet them.

Mark my words!

This team would grow into the tournament; hence, any team we meet in the round of 16 is not gonna have an easy game. I don't care who meet in the round of 16, as long as they are not named Brazil or Germany, I will expect victory.


O pari

I totally agree with you bro

How many foreign players are there in Plateau united?
What have they ever won in their life?
they came from division one to the league to win which is why i compared them to Leicester city but we both know Leicester city have foreign players, good ones. If you like put Rohr to coach Plateau united with the set of players available now, a better equipped club like Etoile will still beat them silly.

Remember this is the first time Plateau united will ever play international football including their coaching crew.

Expecting them not to get beaten is funny though.

Trust me, If Juventus is playing Leicester, it won't be this bad.. They are terrible.. It shows the level of the coaching in the league.

You can watch yourself here..

They said we will loose to Argentina in the group stage, I disagree. They equally said we will not go beyond round of 16, again I disagree.

Someone who knows them should tell them that we have the most hungry/promising players ever in our national team. .

Tell them that our boys are hungry to make a name for themselves.

Tell them that our boys are hungry for a better better career in better clubs.

Tell them that we have the most underrated players.

Tell them that most of these boys are going to the world cup for the first and are ready to justify their inclusion.

Finally them that baba Ibeji and other experienced players may be playing their final World Cup and will not go home without doing something different.

Tell them that finals is the target, nothing less nothing more. angry
Tell them!

He's done fairly well for the super eagles for years now and even during the qualifiers. if he was so bad, he would have been dropped since. how come all coaches keep calling him or are you saying they don't know if he's good or not?

My man, you are not watching this game..

It could easily be 7:0

Yes, i ain't because i know they won't qualify, don't have that quality to compete with Etoile, they are not mates.

Somewhat like Liverpool vs Ludrogzas. grin grin grin

I was encouraged by Akwa Utd's response in their own fixture before they eventually qualified. They lost at home 2-1 but went away and secured a 2-0 win. I was super impressed. At least this shows some of our Nigerian club sides can still hold their own today to an extent even though I admit the quality have gone down shaa...


But with this... Plateau Utd being raped by Etoile.... Well it is Etoile naa... Ah well, Marvelous BascoVanVeli will not like this.... Lol...

Sir Tbaba, you dey try watching that game ooooo... Lol


Akwa United played a team from Gambia though..

I remember when the great Enyimba team played away, they were so defensively sound that they frustrated their north African opponents. What i am seeing here is terrible

I'm with you Sir Icon79. France at that stage won't be so tactically resilient or super disciplined but will only rely on their quality stardust.... And this is where Nigeria will have the edge as we are a tactically disciplined side who can stick to our game plan and utilise our wicked pace on the counters to wreck and destroy any f**king team....

It will be interesting if we get to meet France. I want a part two of that cheeky Mikel dummy between Pogba's legs back in 2014.... Hahahahahahahahaha


I tell you a truth, we will beat France because we will own that midfield. Mikel-Ndidi-Onazi will dominate Pogba-Kante-Rabiot/Tolisso/Sissoko (whatever third man they choose)


The battle will be won in the tactics and not in the talents.... We have the fullbacks to handle France's high-flying Dembele, Martial, and Coman.... But if na Echiejile dey that left back or left wing back role ehn (depending on our chosem formation that day) Chaaaiiiii.... Wahala go dey oooo.... And we pray for no such wahala.....grin


Abeg Sir Icon79... Chop knuckle... We dey together on this... This team go knock out France if na dem cross our path...

It was so bad that Ajiboye was subbed on before the end of the first half.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by somehow: 6:45pm On Mar 06, 2018
This same league produced Kano pillars that knocked out Al ahly (African greatest powerhouse) from CCL.

Heartland also sent Royal Armed Forces out of the CCL and we had 2 Nigerian clubs playing semi finals against eachother just less than 10 years ago. This same Nigeria league produced that!

It was TP Mazembe that stopped Heartland from winning the Champions league that season.

Lets stop blaming the whole league for the fault of individual club side.

We have good clubs in the league with good foundation!

What have we done in Africa of recent

We can all talk about the glory years but the quality is bad now. It showed in the WAFU cup and CHAN.

For this particular game, i blame the coach..

Glory years ke? Apart from Enyimba, the other 3 Nigerian clubs in Africa this season are debutants. Don't expect much from them o.

Most of these clubs hardly hold on to their best once season ends.

Other African clubs doing well in Africa keep their best or at least most of their best. Our Nigerian players play football for the money first before the passion.

I wish LMC can put a law down stopping any good player from leaving the league until after 3 seasons.

See MFM struggling to score because their goal scorers have left.

Chidozie Awaziem Makes Team Of The Week In France After Stunning Display At Left Back Against Marseille

Super Eagles defender Chidozie Awaziem has once again made the team of the week in France after his strong showing for Nantes in their 1-1 draw against Marseille.
The on loan FC Porto defender returned back to the starting line up after a two weeks absence from the team due to injury, and he didn’t show any sign of rustiness throughout the game.

Awaziem lasted the entire duration of the game, and his performances has earned him a spot in the team of the week in the French Ligue 1 for the fourth time grin this season following his move to the club on loan.

He was particularly impressive against Florian Thauvin despite the French man scoring a late equaliser to earn Marseille a point. Awaziem didn’t lose a single tackle against Thauvin and also looked solid in aerial duels.

His overall statistics in the game reads nine clearances, three interceptions, passing accuracy of 57.1% with one of the four long balls he launched getting to his teammate. In terms of duels he won nine out of the 15 duels he contested in.
