Daejoyoung: Where was Ndidi playing before he got invitation to the national team? How many matches did he play for that team? Where was Ekong playing before he got invitation to play for the Super Eagles? How many matches did he play for that team? Corruption could be in any form. Where in Brazil or Spain did you see them drop a better player for lesser player? They don't just drop players based on lesser quality but rather on off field issues. |

New Super Eagle Ajayi Named Best Foreign Player In Egypt By Hanifat Mustapha: New Super Eagles invitee Junior Ajayi has been named the best foreign player in the Egypt League. According to the Al Ahly official website, the Nigerian forward was given the award during the annual Ahram awards held on Friday evening in Cairo. Hi’s Al Ahly teammate Ahmed Fathi was also given the player of the year award. Ajayi has played 44 matches and scored 16 goals since he joined Al Ahly from CS Faxien of Tunisia in 2016. The 22 year old is in Gernot Rohr’s 28-man squad list that will play in the Super Eagles’ friendly games against Poland and Serbia later this month. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/new-super-eagle-ajayi-named-best-foreign-player-egypt/ 1 Like |

ChrisKels: The word academies is all encompassing it's general and misleading with regards to my proposition. Which academies is the more pertinent question ❓ Do you think he would walk into the top EPL academies as an U23 player. I very much doubt it. And that's the context my statement was made,so there is no GOOF as you put it. The reality is that a lot of top EPL academy players and or fringe reserve players are top players but world class players ahead of them limit thier opportunities. That's why top EPL academy players can be sold for upwards of £10million and even much more. Ebuehi is a good player but he's not top class. I hope he has a great world cup and gets noticed. As you know there weren't any La Liga, Bundesliga and or EPL clubs fighting to sign him. Portuguese league is very good but how many of thier league teams made it to the Champions league last 16 Just one Porto and got resoundingly flogged by Liverpool 5-0 that says a lot. Finally which league had the most number of clubs in the last 16 of the Champions league The answer is a clear quality indicator. In the SE where are out top performing players from |

An Interesting post Culled from Complete sports.com: "A Must Read:" (From a Completesports fan, Kingmaker) Ref: Coach Gernot Rohr & Nff leadership. The Super Eagles Coaching crew did a brilliant job putting its 28 man list together. We commend the Crew & NFF for their continued hard work in a bid to deliver the best Super Eagles WC participation till date. However, a careful & incisive review of the called-up names shows that the list is 97% complete for real business heading to the WC proper. We strongly believe that the Super Eagles of Nigeria would be the darling team of the tournament & the team to beat. We have waited for this chance since 1994. We were robbed of the opportunity to finish in top 3 position due to inexperience. It was our first Senior World Cup outing and a baptism of fire of some sort.. Expectations were very high. It turned out sour. That tournament left many Nigerians totally broken. It meant so much for the fans. The Atlanta ’96 Men’s Olympic gold medal victory did not, & could not assuage the pains many still carry with them. Multiple victories at global youth levels & in Africa were not good enough to rub off, or heal the deep wounds inflicted by that early ouster of ’94. However, today, smiles are returning back to the faces of Nigerians. We can see the light of hope again. A killer team is emerging in Africa & about to be unleashed on the World. It is the current Super Eagles team. The NFF leadership & Coach Gernot Rohr are turning this into another memorable and unforgettable WC experience for Nigeria & Africa. Eagles need just two (2) additions to its final selection, barring injuries, to be good to go, and enough to lift the world cup, every other thing being equal. A top class goalkeeper & a top 9 striker are all Super Eagles desperately need now. We have found them. A first choice safe hands in goal is needed in Carl Ikeme, soon to rejoin the crew (when fit) as expressed by the Coach. Or, resummon Austin Ejide back to the team for May crucial friendly. Eagles first choice goalkeeper needs a quality backup. Suggested: Goalkeeping: 3 1) Carl Ikeme, (A. Ejide) 2) Francis Uzoho, 3) Ikechukwu Ezenwa. Reserve: Daniel Akpeyi. This completes the Goalkeeping selection. Attack: First Choice Striker, (Top 9) ***** NAC Breda, Holland, ‘Goals king’ Cyriel Dessers. This is the joker in the pack. This is the hottest & most clinical Nigerian top 9 currently. He is a complete striker; a combination of brains, skill & finesse. He is pacy on and off the ball. This young hitman is a goal scoring sensation in dutch top flight where he made goalscoring act as simple as fixing house chores. There is nothing left to describe him. I have not seen a Nigerian top 9 player as gifted in this generation of players as CY. He is neat, precise, quick & totally lethal. He also knows how to celebrate his exploits in style. I love this boy. He will bring back joy to Super Eagles, & much more so to millions of soccer crazy Nigerian fans. This is the MAN. If Nigeria must win the world cup, or stake a viable challenge for it, this is the guy that must lead the lines to make that dream come true. Modern football demands the application of several formations particularly in tournaments where you wish to excel. GR knows that very well & would need to trim down his squad & ring it around players who can be deployed in multiple roles, to suite the occasion. It may be too early, though but we can safely say that some SE attackers evaluated are too lackadaisical, predictable, lacking dynamism, and cannot offer much at this level. Such should make way for others. No disrespect. Suggested team: 23 Goalkeeping: 3 Defence: 7 Midfield: 7 Attack: 6. My concentration (in this article) right now is on SE Midfield & Attack positions. 1) Midfield: 7. The Super Eagles midfield, as presently constituted from the release, holds the edge, with versatile ‘hatchetman’ Uche Agbo being the last addition. This is the best possible technical “Gra-gra” team that Super Eagles can muster on parade today. This is our engine room & heartbeat of the team. This is where Coaches’ tactics are interpreted & executed. This is where the disruption & breakdown of opposing teams are contemplated & carried out. A good coach knows that matches are won & lost in the midfield. Our’s is a balanced, strong & ruthless midfield that can withstand the stretch, grit & grind of opposing teams, as well as crowd pressure to come out unscathed, heads high, and on top & over the best teams of the world. Barring Injury & loss of form. My Pick: Mikel John Obi (C) Joel Obi Onazi Ogenyi Wilfred Ndidi Oghenekaro Etebo John Ogu Uche Agbo. 2) Attack: 6. This is the decisive unit where chances are sorted & buried. All 32 teams of the WC tournament are winners in their own rights & would be well prepared to minimize errors, and reduce scoring chances of opposing teams as much as they possibly can. So, glaring chances will be rare & far in between at the tournament. However, a good team can prise open a tight defence, create & put away half chances. This is where players in the mould of Junior Ajayi is an added value. He will be a revelation at the WC if selected. Again, this is where intelligent & visionary attackers are needed to do the job. Without any doubt Nigeria have some. Barring Injury & loss of form. My pick: Kelechi Iheanacho Alex Iwobi Victor Moses Moses Simon Junior Ajayi Cyriel Dessers. Reserves: Ahmed MUSA Odion Ighalo. This Super Eagles’ attack on current form is ruthless & capable of achieving the unthinkable. With this team, these boys, I clearly foresee goals, goals & more goals. You cannot have it better than this one. This team can win the CUP. God on our side, anything is possible.. Good luck, Nigeria! 3 Likes |

realpoacher:It's really no good talk. I agree without equivocation that Nigeria is almost irredemably corrupt. Yes but in the context of always screaming corruption once players are invited makes it sound banal. What it means is that if Ebuehi (whom I just like) or Aina do not make the cut for the 23 WC bound players, then it's corruption that made it so. such specific accusations must be supported by specific evidence. If not abeg let them let us rest. 1 Like |

There is defenders and goalkeeper crises because of the actions and in actions of previous coaches. We had Kenneth Otigba and Gbenga Arokoyo who played consistently in the Eredivise and Turkish league btw 2014 - 2016. Now, there's is one Junior Udeme Plus in the Portuguese league with Tondela and Jacob Adebanjo of Victoria Setuba who are both defenders. I hope Rohr monitors themselves after the WC. |
