Not truth but what you think. Just as some thought Nacho can not trap ball, slow or only tap in. They thought it was the truth.

Oga, anything u want believ

Ki ta ki bia.... But biko, make I make postulations in peace abeg.

Lol super nerd

Anyway let allow the near future first reach and hope for them to be a better footballer

isan:
But at least he got invited ahead of dessert and co that u guys said are miles ahead him

it's like you have no idea...that sometimes chance and luck play a role in a man's success or fortunate drive...

let me make you understand...going by club ranks...shehu on paper wasn't qualified for the national team call up....many here will downplay his invitation...but dude took his opportunity well and never disappoint on the GWG...and the rest today is history....

same way it is....with ajayi...he may get invitee ahead of kayode,dessers and co but that doesn't mean he is better....

another case of note is Samuel kalu in belguim....so sometimes the best may not always get invited for obvious reasons known to the coach....

so please stop crying like one who just own a lottery he has been deprived of...dude has not even kicked a ball yet...not even sure if he gonna play... i will be happy he gets to play though...because his success will add more flavour to the team.....

Calm down babe nothing happen I was only pointing out how people attack when your opinion is different from their own

it's like you don't know the difference between "attack and a contrasting opinion "
where did i attacked you from my comment...?

ANS confirms:

Trabzonspor's Eddy Onazi returns to the starting line-up and will protect the back four, Wilfred Ndidi and Joel Obi will play slightly ahead of him in a three-man midfield.

Ahmed Musa will lead the charge for goals and the CSKA Moscow striker will be flanked by Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses.

The friendly in the English capital will start at 2000 hours Nigerian time.

Bros no be lie, we press nonsense comot from their body.

Re-watch the game and you'll see . That their no6 contact well well.

Meanwhile Pinnick and Co paid another visit to Carl Ikeme recently...

Ahead of the #NGASRB game,

I am greatly mystified that a team with, Mascherano, Otamendi, Fazio, Banega, Le Ceslso, DiMaria, Aguero, Dyabala, Higuan have to look up to Messi. It's just ridiculous! Argentina need to get their acts right. This is last chance for that whole team to win the WC as they are all in their relevant thirties.

TheSuperNerd:
And it was for an own goal he scored in one of the games that played a huge part. And I grew up hearing every goal scored against your own team as "Escobar" when we dey play monkey posts or big posts

Sad history shaa

.

Yeah! You are right. Then we call you Escobar if you score an own goal but Escobar folks wouldn't be happy about that because they lost him.

ChrisKels:
Post Russia, during the ANC qualifiers Rohr should start blooding in some youngsters to take over the mantle from Mikel Obi. It's very annoying that whenever he ain't there, the creative part of our game becomes almost non-existent.

I will love to see us giving the likes of KC Nwakali, Ejaria, Azubuike, Sokari, Kehinde, Onomah et al opportunities

"Blood in" doesn't fit the context. That role is for players who are responsible and matured enough to take responsibility.

Modric for Croatia, Kroos for Germany, Coutinho for Brazil, KDB for Belgium...


We Will make do with what we have till another initiation season.

Good line up. The player I really wanna see today is Ebuehi. And it looks like Joel Obi would be playing further up as well. And by the way, does Rohr know that Joel Obi can play the RWB position? Just in case the current crew can't deliver the goods.

I would've like to see the likes of Awaziem, Uche Agbo, Kenneth Omeruo, and Aina start this game but I guess Rohr doesn't wanna lose the game so he chose not to experiment too much.

TheGoodJoe:


Nice post. The part Rohr says he is never confused is what I am pointing out. Rohr has technical insight in the way he selects his players. It is not guess work.

By the way, one of our key strength in nullifying the Poles was our insane pressing. So as many are critical about the forward line in doing some things wrong, they scored a big plus in their pressing, including Iwobi.

That is not insane pressing by any inch, go watch Liverpool and see them choke opponents.

Poland were just abysmal.

Danielnino00:



Ehm,the jersey are for all our national teams,right?
Lets say our women team should face Cameroon or Zambia at the AWCON,will they wear the home or away Jersey?

CC : Thesupernerd

It depends mostly on who is home or away in the fixture.

TheSuperNerd:

A little part of me wants us to lose to stay humble.... But then I still stand by my draw prediction or a Nigeria win. Anyway, just wanna enjoy the game... Especially that Matic Vs Ndidi battle...



Note: Nigeria 2-1 (or 3-1) Serbia or Nigeria 1-1 Serbia... Not really in a predictive mood tonight. But Nigeria to win or draw.

we've got quite a young and inexperienced squad who I believe on their day would beat any team. Build up to this game has been less entertaining and with our wins over argentina and poland still fresh in our memory, I predict they'd let complacency rear its ugly head. A defeat wouldn't make me feel bad but i'd get ecstatic over a win anyway

This is the kind of comment that leave me bewildered.... Like seriously

So Poland were abysmal because they want to or because we made them abysmal?

Were they abysmal because they so much liked our faces and allowed us to win in their backyard easily?


Baba we pressed them insanely and gave them little time on the ball at the back. That disrupted their game plans




I no know wetin dey worry some of una for this place self ...... Always downplaying our efforts

Rohr does not joke around with any match, he always tries to start with a strong 11. Very little experimentation..

Nigeria win 2:0..

Serbia's 2 forward men, Tadic and Mitrovic are threats.

Poland was more impressive in the WC qualifiers than Serbia in my opinion.

Serbia is actually quite decent in defending and hitting on the counter.

Slow, slow backline.. Can be beaten with pace and directness.

Not great at defending at set-pieces but good at utilizing them.

Uzoho to continue his "Mr Clean sheet" form going to Wembley eh....

And yes... The Serbian backline is quite slow and led by an aging Kolarov and our forwards in Iwobi, Musa and Moses should utilise their pace and direct plays to cause them huge huge problems.

MetalJigsaw:
You don't get it bro, this is how it's done:

When the home team is up against the away team. The home team wears its traditional kit. while the away team puts on any kit that doesn't mix up with the home's team's kit, either their home or away kit.

So Nigeria are to wear their home light green and white kit while Serbia uses their all- red home kits. Finito

This must be it

did you mean LWB?

I think Rohr is trying to maintain the shape and chemistry of the team while making few changes at a time.. may pay off for us that way. Let's hope he starts to pull players off the bench early in the second half.

Wetin come be the difference na between wetin him talk and wetin u talk? You sef na wa ooo

There's a difference sort of in that the away team will put on colors that do not correspond with any of the colors of the home team.

Correct! Sorry for the typo. Yes, I have seen Joel play LWB a few times when he was at Inter Milan.

And I agree with you on making change early as well. Against, Poland he left the changes come way too late into the game. I was expecting about 3 changes immediately before kickoff of the second half and 3 more about 10-15 mins later.

Ovie ejaria and kelechi nwakali are not good enough for super eagles,take it or leave it,if you doubt me then quote me for analysis.....One luv

Agreed with the proviso for Ovie being YET.

With regards to Nwakali non starter playing in the 2 nt tier of the Eredivisie without being outstanding simply says not good enough. A long way to go

Sometimes teams win cause they were just unplayable, in this case we won cause our opponents didn't rise up to the occasion.


You shouldn't say we were very good on that day, rather both teams were bad. We were just able to grind out a result.

I saw a couple of lads saying Morocco weren't good enough in the win over Serbia but Serbia were just too poor. Why can't we say the same for our beloved country, pal?

I would rather he misses the friendly and show up during the main event. Unlike Angel DiMaria who would play all the friendly and go AWOL during the main event, thereby costing his country a world cup glory in 2014
