mank1234: I don't dispute this perspective, my man, my point is. We beat Argentina because we outplayed them, great counter, great composure. Limited them to half chances. We beat Poland because they were abysmal, the chances they managed to create were opportunities you would expect Spain, who actually rank lower, to convert. This wasn't Nigeria at their best, this wasn't Poland at their best, it was a runaway win. 2 Likes |

Yea, let's hope that the coach isn't under pressure to win all these friendlies because I would really want to see Junior Ajayi this evening. Honestly, if I were Rohr, I won't even bother playing folks like VicMo, Ndidi, Ekong, Balogun, Onazi etc in today's game ... those positions are settled. Let's give the other players a chance to make a case for themselves. In addition, playing our reserve team would also confuse the opponent scouts. And by the way, I was watching Russia vs France, but I got bored to death ... still goalless when I logged off O pari Joebie: |

KPOM! I stated exactly the same thing. This Polish team would not concede a lot of goals in Russia and they will be a handful to many team. I expect them to do well. I have watched that friendly game 3 times already and each time I realized more and more how difficult that game was for the two teams. And I think they became a little scared of our players as the game progresses as well. It was a rough rugged game by both sides. O pari tbaba1234: |

Joebie:No way, brother, scrap sentiments and give me an unbiased view. Man Utd is a bigger team than Man City by heritage but not on current rankings. Would you still "forget about ranking"? We being great last year, came from behind to defeat Argentina. We being poor this month grinded out a result against an equally poor Poland. This, my man, is the undisputed fact. 1 Like |

Complete Sports reported earlier that Omeruo will replace Balogun because Balogun is ruled out due to a knock he has not fully recovered from. But now ACL Sports led by Emeka Calvin on ground in London reports that Chidozie Awaziem is set to partner Troost Ekong in defence. So Balogun joins Iheanacho, and Etebo on the missing-in-action list due to injuries. Rest and recover well Balogun. Hello again Awaziem 2 Likes |

Same here ... the brother was going hard! He knew he needs to prove himself. Yup, it was a midfield battle all day. And did you notice how they overran our midfield once Joel Obi was taken off? And that's not to say that Onazi had a bad game either. O pari Joebie: 1 Like |

Your analogy is not a perfect one.. It's not like Poland has been exceptionally better than many teams in Europe. I can walk you down the current ranking, and I hope you wont shift grounds at some point.. TheLoneCitizen: 3 Likes |

Not a bad decision. Let's hope that Awaziem would get a good run .... Omeruo can come in the second half. O pari TheSuperNerd: |

TheLoneCitizen: That statement I bolded is inconsequential in football... Football is all about winning matches and winning trophies. In 5 years to come, nobody remembers who " played like champions and lost" ... People and history only remember those who won. I see that you are only concerned about good football forgetting that those with end products are the only ones celebrated when it matters most. Also you should know that it is extremely difficult to play good football and win at the same time especially when you are by far the underdog. Someone had already told you earlier on that we are currently punching above our weight - that should give you an idea of our current level.... Meaning that In other words, we should accept our winnings and celebrate them however they come!!! 4 Likes |

Yea.. Rohr should have made a double sub (Ogu coming in as well) at that point.. but glad it did not prove costly.. Icon79: |

I pray Musa should play well today. The last time he top strike against SA it's ended 2:2. He lost so many begging chances they later led us by 2 goals to nil. Musa could be terribly wasteful. Although he possessed good speed with an alternating brilliance, one moment he is lively next he is annoying. Hope Vicmo go give am pass one time sha otherwise he go tanda offside tire. 2 Likes |

safarigirl:dontyou think Sampaoli is doing something pyschological to the mind of the Argentine team by getting them to play to win even without Messi such that when they have built up that mentality Messi will now be the bomb? is it not possible that he is trying to know the weakest baseline of the Argentine team and getting them to work on it? this is why i am happy that Mikel is absent. we don't know our baseline as such(except the gk issue)and that's why i would have preferred rohr to rest Ekong or Balogun and field either Awaziem or Omeruo. oncea team can cope with its weakest baseline that team will be tough to beat. 1 Like |
