Thank you, bro. Truer words have never been spoken.

I think they are waiting until next week before we start discussing the Poland and the Serbia friendly matches.

There are Igbo muslims even though they are a minority. It is not beyond the realm of possibility especially if the man has lived in North Africa for a long time.

Also bearing the name habib, does not mean he is a muslim. Habib is first and foremost an arabic name. Arabic non-muslims bear arabic names too.

Rohr: I support Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for World Cup

The World Cup with the official match ball of the 2018 World Cup
Gernot Rohr has said he supports the introduction of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) at the forthcoming World Cup in Russia, saying it will ensure fairer officiating and help the referees.

“I’m all for it (VAR),” said Rohr in an interview published by South African football newspaper Soccer Laduma.

“It will bring justice to many situations and it will help the referees.

“Of course, there are some small hiccups in the beginning as with any new system. I have noticed some small issues in the Bundesliga and in other countries where it has been implemented, but it will be more accepted over time.”

Rohr disclosed that all 32 World Cup finalists were put through the VAR at a recent FIFA workshop in Sochi in Russia.

The other ticket categories are priced at £70, £55 and £45 but concessions are available for OAPs.

Students and U16s will receive £10 discount elsewhere in the stadium (excluding the England 'Home End').

Three players of Nigerian descent in the shape of Ross Barkley, Dele Alli and Tammy Abraham could feature for Gareth Southgate’s side.

The England-Nigeria friendly will kickoff at 1715 hours.

With few days to the March 23 World Cup build-up International friendly between Poland and Nigeria in Warsaw, Nigerians who are eager to watch the match live on their television sets may have to wait till the last minute to know if they will watch the match as the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the official rights holders are yet to confirm the live transmission of the game.

In a bid to get a clear picture of the live telecast of the six international friendly games involving the Super Eagles before the kick-off of the Russia 2018 World Cup in June, hotsportstv.com put a call through to NFF’s Director of Communications, Ademola Olajire on Thursday evening, who eventually directed all enquiries regarding the live transmission of the games to Jairo Pachon of Euro Datasports, who are the official match agent of the NFF.

However, Pachon, who organised the Nigeria-Argentina friendly in Russia last November and other friendlies involving the Super Eagles in the runoff to the last World Cup In Brazil 2014 was sketchy about details of the live telecast of the match to the Nigerian audience.

Source: http://hotsportstv.com/uncertainty-beclouds-live-telecast-super-eagles-friendlies/

A member of the NFF Marketing, Sponsorship and Television Advisory Committee and former Super Eagles Media Officer, Colin Udoh, who works with one of the official World Cup television rights station in Nigeria, confirmed that: “efforts are being made to bring the match live to Nigerians and promised to provide more details in a few days time.”

Apart from the Poland game, the Super Eagles are scheduled to meet with Serbia, England, DR Congo, Czech Republic and Chile before the World Cup.

England squad for the upcoming friendly

England's No.1 spot still up for grabs ahead of World Cup - Gareth Southgate
BURTON, England -- England's No. 1 spot at the World Cup is still up for grabs, according to manager Gareth Southgate.
Southgate has called up four goalkeepers for friendlies against Holland and Italy this month including Joe Hart and uncapped Burnley keeper Nick Pope.
Stoke's Jack Butland and Everton's Jordan Pickford have also been selected.
Hart was England's first-choice throughout the qualifying campaign but has started just one Premier League game since November for West Ham.
"Clearly the No. 1 jersey is up for grabs," Southgate told a news conference on Thursday.
"Joe has had a difficult period for his club. He had to miss game at City -- David [Moyes] did a good job in making West Ham more solid and Joe found himself out of the side.
"He's got 74 caps and he's important. We don't know how the next eight to 10 weeks will pan out."
Chelsea centre-back Gary Cahill, a recent England captain, is a high-profile omission with Southgate choosing instead to hand first call-ups to James Tarkowski from Burnley and Alfie Mawson from Swansea.
Cahill has lost his place at Chelsea and was an unused substitute for the 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday.
"I was really pleased with how we defended in November", Southgate added. "I wanted to look at Tarkowski and Mawson, not just for now but the future.
"Then there are people like [Eric] Dier who I'd like to see in a back three. It was a very difficult call, he's a player I respect and has played a lot of qualifiers.
"I think there are players not in this squad who are not out of our minds."
Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook has also been called up for the first time, while Arsenal duo Danny Welbeck and Jack Wilshere return to the squad.
But there is no place for Brighton striker Glenn Murray, despite the striker scoring five goals in his last six Premier League games.
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling, and Michael Keane of Everton are also notable omissions.
Full England squad
Goalkeepers: Jack Butland (Stoke City), Joe Hart (West Ham), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley)
Defenders: Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Harry Maguire (Leicester), Alfie Mawson (Swansea), Danny Rose, Kieran Trippier (Tottenham Hotspur), John Stones, Kyle Walker (Manchester City), James Tarkowski (Burnley), Ashley Young (Manchester United)
Midfielders: Dele Alli, Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Lewis Cook (Bournemouth), Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Liverpool), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Jake Livermore (West Brom), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)
Forwards: Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Danny Welbeck (Arsenal)
