Team A could be Rohr's starting line up.

Bolowolowo:
Nacho has got some great dance moves lol!!! Loving the team unity!! Can't wait for tomorrow!!!

Certitude:

If it's Joel Obi, you weren't the only one who clamoured for his invitation. As for Martins, I'll vehemently disagree that he'd be invited... Aluko no fit even get invite sef.

Martz101:


then we will bring back kanu, Okocha and taribo west

How Super Eagles Line Up In 4-2-3-1 Formation During Training Session, Idowu Picked Ahead Of Echiejile




Owngoalnigeria.com has obtained details of how the Super Eagles of Nigeria lined up in their evening training session yesterday which was supervised by coach Gernot Rohr.

The team had a practice game with coach Rohr separating the players into two teams for a practice game which ended 3-1 in favour of the team that looks likely to start (Team lineup A).

Ikechukwu Ezenwa had his first session with the team, and he was in goal for the team many believe is the B team while Francis Odinaka Uzoho manned goal for the A team.

The shock inclusion in the A team was Brian Idowu who started as left back for the team that had lost of the likely starters. His selection ahead of Elderson Echiejile and Ola Aina was the only major change in the team A.


Line Up Team A:

Francis Odinaka Uzoho ( GK)

Shehu Abdullahi

Brian Idowu

Leon Balogun

William Troost-Ekong

Wilfred Ndidi

Ogenyi Onazi ( Joel Obi)

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 84 days 5 hours 7 mins to go

forgiveness:


Did I say I am the only one?

Yes, you can vehemently disagree for Martins invitation, the same way people vehemently disagreed the invitation of Joel Obi siting it will disrupt team spirit and team cohesion but from what we are hearing from the camp there is nothing like that, their insinuation is void and nulled.

Why can Aluko get invitation?

Martz101:


Fabregas one of the best passers of the ball, looses possession too, he cant be perfect

MetalJigsaw:
If we lose it a big blow for the team's confidence and psychology

oloriooko:

So peradventure we lose to Poland 4-0, does that make the team useless?
We are sure building a team for the future, presently we should not get our hopes too high even when they fail to win, we should stand by them and allow the coaches do their jobs. Personally, i see friendlies as inconsequential and unconnected to the WC proper
Bro, don't be deceived by our thrashing of Argentina in last game, at the WC those guys will be a totally different bunch of players

Humility017:

good for him...we wish him well.

MetalJigsaw:
Not as Iwobi...

Anyway Somehow sabi ball oo I meet am for here and you meet both of me and him. The guy sabi na you no know am.

Icon79:
Where's Ebuehi? Didn't he play. He's one player I would like to see start the game tomorrow, along with Joel Obi, Francis Uzohor, and Brian Idowu. Let's see how they would perform in the team.


O pari

Magink:
So I just saw on Twitter(@bundesligavibes) right now that Jordan Touringha through his agent has informed Rohr that he will wait for Germany's call up

maidaboi:
Allnigeriasoccer and owngoalnigeria don start again

Martz101:


It wont be a big blow, we better lose now than in the worldcup, we still have time to fix our self.

back to history books, our best worldcup in 1994, we lost all but one of our friendly game against lesser teams, it was even worst in 1998, when teams were disgracing us in friendly, Holland beat us 5-1, I remember watching that game, our keeper baruwo "omo Alhaja" was so poor, I'm not sure he made the worldcup team.

Win or lose nothing spoil

solonnachi:


Why this pressure all the time. Tammy Abraham was in the same pressure from the English press & coaches now this. I pray Jordan Ibe is also in the same dilemma. This Jordan Touringha boy should just go abeg!

forgiveness:


Hehehehe!

There was alot of resistance here at the mention of Joel Obi by my humble self and notable Mickael2 and distinguish Komekn.

Now, who takes the glory?

Don't forget we are still saying bring back Sone Aluko and Obafemi Martins.

tbaba1234:


Jordan's father never wanted his son to play for us.

Aberdeen Hail Nwakali Over Scottish League Team Of The Week Selection


 1 March 21, 2018 3:18 pm
By James Agberebi:

Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen have congratulated Nigeria midfielder Chidiebere Nwakali who has been included in the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) Team of the Week for last weekend’s Scottish Premiership matches.


The Team of the Week was announced on the SPFL’s verified Twitter handle on Wednesday.

Nwakali’s inclusion was due to his impressive performance for Aberdeen in their 1-0 home win against Dundee United in the league on Saturday.

Nwakali was later brought off in the 72nd minute.

Nwakali, who is on loan to Aberdeen from Premier League leaders Manchester City, is in the middle of a three-man midfield in the Team of the Week in a 4-3-3 formation.
Aberdeen wrote on Twitter: “Well done to Chidi Nwakali who was named in the SPFL Team of the Week.”


The win against Dundee took Aberdeen to the third position on 56 points in the Scottish Premiership table.

The game was Nwakali’s fifth since joining Aberdeen on loan in January.

Good. I was expecting this example to come up.

The 98 team was just coming back together after a long time of inactivity. Remember we were banned from the 1998 AFCON. The friendlies reveled lots of holes in that team.

But... that team had quality. We all knew that. Expectations were still high despite the friendly loses.

Remember Rufai and Eguavoen were called back. Oparaku was dropped but recalled due to injury to Jero Shakpoke. These were some of the shake-ups that took place after those humiliating defeats in the friendlies.

That team could play and we knew it.

Then also whether you perform well in friendlies or not does not completely imply you will have a good tournament or not.

But one thing is sure, any team that is not well grounded, if they start well in a tournament even if they were poor in friendlies , they will come crashing when it matters most.

So it is vital that you do well in your preparations and still transfer it into the tournament. This will ensure the team stays on top even beyond the tournament.

If you have been following my response on this thread you'd know I've never been a fan of Onazi style of football. I'm happy when he performs but his style of DM/CM is the Jack of all trade style. Football no be gragra again but a science you calculate every move.
I have followed his football but never liked his style. Anyway like I've always said I'll pick Ogu over Onazi anytime anyday.

tbaba1234:


Interestingly, when i first came to this country.. I lost interest in football after the first couple of years.. I was barely watching any football (soccer). I watched American football more sef.. (nonsense sport).. I think, i regained interest after visiting Nigeria...

EmmGee:
Guys I just downloaded mobdro.

Please what station is going to show our match tomorrow and what time

congo4ka:


Supersport 8 I will watch the match in one ashewo joint

gbosaa:



You guys are being judgemental. You all really don’t know the reason he came late. How well do you know him to prove he is arrogant and full of pride??
The young man is happy and seem to have connected well with his team mates and the staff. If he has got interpersonal issues, I’m sure Rohr would deal with that but I doubt there’s any except the ones you people manufacture simply by looking at his pictures and reading his body language wrongly.
