Not a bad lineup.. personally i will move Balogun to the middle of the defence.

I will also like to see how Joel works with Onazi and Ndidi. Can we play without Mikel?

I’ll only replace Mikel with Joel Obi, in the last group game, if the team has already secured qualification to the round of 16.
And if the team is chasing a goal, I would bring in Ighalo, and take off Ndidi, switching to a 3-4-3.

One option is to swap Mikel and Etebo in order to help with build up play or Ogu/Joel Obi (if he makes the team) for Etebo.

First of all, thumbs up to everyone keeping this wonderful thread alive.

I think there is a misconception and I am also part of it.

The term World Class should be reserved for those who have done remarkable things in the game of football and for a long time.

With this, we can see the wonderkid Wilfred Ndidi is not yet World Class. The right term is a high quality talent with the potential of becoming World Class.

With this, Nemanja Matic is not World Class. Mbappe is not World Class but like Ndidi, has the potential to become World Class. So he goes into the bracket of High Quality talent.

Casemiro will take the Top Quality bracket while Neymar, Messi, CR7 and Aguero will take the term World Class.

Potential - Iheanacho, Gabriel Jesus, Ousmane Dembele

High quality - Ndidi, Matic (with time running out might not be tagged top quality, let alone World Class), Mbappe, Lukaku

Top quality - Pogba, Casemiro, Harry Kane, Suarez

World Class - Messi, CR7, Aguero

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)
Squad is looking a bit weak...

Taking Mikel behind will cut off supply to the striking players. It is better he plays behind the strike force.

No mind those myopic English fan boys. Once you don't cut it in England you don't know how to play football. But they will never see that what they parade as stars are waste product!.

See how they almost finished Musa's career, but thank God for Rohr, now the guy is back inform and playing in the Europa league!

England has tagged behind due to their illusion of believing that huff, puff, Kick and follow football was their identity. However, with the step up in promoting good technical football in the EPL, with the likes of Guardiola, Klopp, Conte and others, the English team will get better. The challenge they have is sticking to managers that play the old English brand of football while lots of their top players play under possessive managers.

Their academies are also promoting good football and with time, England will produce better quality players.

After the WC, Nigeria should cap Ejaria and Ebere Eze. Those guys will be willing to play for Nigeria. I know Ejaria follows Nigerian football bumper to bumper and was part of the 2013 under 17 set so convincing him won't be hard. Ebere Eze was with the Nigerian team in London.

These guys are easier pursuits than those that showed no interest at all (e.g. Tammy).

Like icon4s said, I wish we had standing youth teams, it would have been a great way to test out all potentials.

Honestly, at least there are no Olympic qualifiers this year. Why not use that budget on an U21 team. (The current Flying Eagles are 19 years or less).

The U21 team would be for players who are not eligible for the next U20 WC but are not yet in the Super Eagles. Same team can easily be progressed into the 2020 Olympics team.

We have so many talented youngsters every where, both home and foreign born, and if we don't start going for them we will lose many of them.

Nothing should stop the NFF from organizing a friendly, during the FIFA window, for these players.

The Super Eagles is in an evolving stage and so we need a continuous injection of new blood into the team. We need a reservoir, not just a pool, of young players to chose from so as to sustain the development of the team. There should be little or no room for experimenting with an untested player in the Super Eagles. The U21 team would serve as a platform to test those young players before we ascertain they are ready for senior team action.

As for Iheanacho, Gabby Jesus and Mbappe discussion.

Iheanacho proved under Pellegrini that he has the potential to do a lot of great things in the game. Iheanacho deserves a better run of games with what he did. I guess this is a true explanation of the Nigerian factor. Also, the demands of the game today favor players like Mbappe and Gabriel Jesus.

However, when it concerns finishing, Nacho trumps them. Nacho needs more game time to show how good he is before deciding who is better.

I don't understand why some peeps do not understand this simple fact.

For a team that is blessed with so many DMs you still want to push Mikel to the DM position.
