Loogan: Ajayi must play out of his skin to get a shirt. And he was not MVP in Egypt, was he?? Is it a formality? maybe.. Ajayi must be ready to show the coach something new in training. |

tbaba1234: I wonder why some people think Ajayi will just come and gatecrash d WC list.. The Opari master even recommended dropping Musa for him... very funny something... Anyway, there were higher expectations from d likes of Nwaekeme,Onyekuru and Kayode when they got their own call ups... 2 Likes |

The strategy of the just released list as it applies to the newbies (Ajayi, Obi, Stephen Eze, Gabriel Okechukwu) 1.Let us open the door for anybody that truly has ability more than those we have already to gatecrash the team 2. Let us invite them in case any last minute injury befalls any of the core players. The newbies will easily slot in having had a go during the friendlies 3. Let us invite them so that them no go say we no invite them 2 Likes |

Nigerians are really funny people, very colourful lot. Behold I present to you guys the new name of Nigerian football playing philosophy. It's called Gra - Gra football as eloquently set forth by kingmaker a commenter on Completesportsnigeria.com website. This, my brothers is for your enjoyment So, what is the Nigerian Secret? Football is a team game, and a physical sport which requires lots of energy, intelligence, concentration, skill & determination for the entire duration of 90 min to win. Other factors that determine a winner are the technical & tactical engagements of the Coach upon good team preparation. All past winners of the WC have relied on these methods. But, the tactics of foreign Managers deployed have failed to produce results against a physically balanced Nigerian side in U-17 finals, especially. The Coach Emmanuel Amuneke’s led U-17 gold winning team of 2015 is the best ever Nigerian Team, in my opinion, since 1973. That team had all the winning elements, in quality and physical robustness, in addition to its fluidity. The Team exhibited the playing style and characteristics of its gaffer.. That team won because it took GRA-GRA Football approach to its most refined form & expression. Gra-gra system of football is an indigenous grassroot style of play common in Nigeria, and in Edo-Delta, especially. It deploys robust attack & defensive play, involving everyone chasing after the ball & the boy. It is fiercely fought in the midfield to determine control and dominion. It is a duel, a rumble, only the strong survives. In Warri where I had my elementary education, it is called Gra-gra. It was the style.. unorthodox. Wilson Oruma & Oghenekaro Etebo are typically the best expressions of this play at the international level. Today, we have Nigerians playing technical gra-gra across Europe, Wilfred Ndidi for example, his statistics amazes the media. Here, players chase down the ball, until the boy is disposed of the ball. Gra-gra is physical, technical, intensive, gritty, exhausting, energetic, effective & rewarding in the end. It leaves your opponents panting, fatigued, worn-out, fainting & capitulating. Gra-gra thrives on player’s fitness & high work rates. Europe, Asia or South American football don’t have answers to this method of robust play. Neymar said of Nigeria after the WC draw, ..”they run a lot and are very physical in their approach.. Happy to avoid them” He was making reference to ‘Nigerian Gra-gra play’. If Nigeria is serious, and hungry to WIN the WC, please Gra-gra system is what Gernot Rohr must continue to anchor on in whatever approach he might choose. Our football administrators should start building tactics around it. We saw Argentina; players were left panting & Aguero fainting (later hospitalised) in their high profile FIFA exhibition match last November in Russia. Boastful & arrogant Argentina fell by 2-4 to Gra-gra. (Watch it again). Algeria were in awe; Etebo & Ogu stampeded & rustled them. Cameroon & Zambia were also in rude shock. Our players are already high on Gra-gra. Onazi, Etebo, Ndidi, Ogu, Iheanacho, Musa, Ighalo, Mikel, Moses & co are Gra-gra masters. They rustle, roughen & stampede opponents until the ball is recovered, & the midfield subdued. It might not always be fluid but it is efficient & effective in getting the points. I love the system because it’s where our dominance & victory lie. Believe it or not, it was Gra-gra that gave us the WC ticket. With well coordinated Gra-gra approach, i am confident Nigeria can WIN the WC. Gra-gra gives Nigeria a clear edge over European, Asian & Latin American teams. With FIFA’s highest decision making organ giving the assurances that the best Nation can win, it has sent a good signal that the Fifa global event can be won by an African Country. Nigeria can Win it, and should, trust me. Coaches must jettison political pressure to apply federal quota in selection of the best players. Or, forget everything. To be crowned champions only requires Winning 7 straight High Profile Matches. SE must go for the crown. The potential is there; the pedigree, & foundation for success has already been laid. Only Nigeria can defeat Nigeria. Should this be allowed to happen? No. Failure is not an option! Let us give 100% support to the SE, the Crew & Nff. It’s our year! I vote for Gra-gra.. Thank you for reading. Good luck, Super Eagles! Copied 4 Likes |

Abusule007: No German boys as speculated. So, what was the noise for? Agbo wey no contribute received invitation ahead of Agu. So, it is no longer about what you contributed to the world Cup qualification, na your current form be koko. Hmmm! We should be expecting new inform players. Was Gabriel among the best 3 players during the CHAN tournament? No be this same player wore our number 10 when he was clubless? Make I dey still observe? I think Rohr should have considered Brown Ideye ahead of him because I just think it is a waste of space and time having him on the list. He's contending for nothing and going nowhere. Phew! Joel Obi made the list at last. Hope he lives up to the expection of we his fans. That's is a good one. From the look of things, Rohr doesn't want to add quality to the attack. Maybe he doesn't want to drop any of his attackers for a player that could shine if given the chance hence the invitation of Ajayi. If he is dropped nobody will raise an eye brow. Nevertheless, kudos to him for calling him up based on current form and not necessarily talent though he deserves it. Even if he shines, I don't see him going to the world Cup. Bia... Rohr, I hope you are not planning to take one central forward to the world Cup? We need atleast 3 CFs. Ighalo is number 1, Iheanacho though not a CF for my eyes but he is regarded as 2 and the 3rd slot should be filled with a good striker. 4 Likes |

Daejoyoung:Ighalo may not be consistent when it comes to goal scoring... But he is all head and body above Ajayi. The bolded agrees with my earlier post where I stated that Ajayi's performance can only get him the 3rd spot in d CF and not to displace Ighalo as some are already foreseeing... But as you say, let's wait till after the friendlies. |
