@ tbaba1234, the second goal was Ebuehi's fault. He wasn't to mark a player Ekong was already marking he should have covered for him instead. 3 Likes |

Mujtahida: ![]() This ain't gonna work on me Dude. Did I insult you in any of my Posts? We can insult late Keshi, Siasia, Onigbinde and Co but we can't insult Rohr ba?! You chose to throw Tantrums at me indirectly by quoting Professor Wole Soyinka, because I insulted Rohr the Messiah?!. LOL! Listen, i ain't gonna attack your personality, coz I consider you a smart, intelligent Person. You brought the Insult on Rohr, you made a Fool out of him by making flimsy Excuse to justify the poor Performance of Ebuehi in the latter Part of the 2nd Half. Was he really unfit? Did Rohr know he was unfit yet he played him for 90mins?! Did Rohr aware the Lad is still recovering from Groin Injury, yet he played him for the entire Match Duration?! Imagine yourself a Coach, will you play an unfit Player in a friendly Match? What do you intend to gain by playing an unfit Player for the whole Match Duration?! You gave false Information to justify Ebuehi poor performance in the latter part of the 2nd Half. You wanted us to believe it's because of his Fitness he was out-paced which eventually resulted to a Goal against us?! If you could notice it (Ebuehi's Fitness Level), but Rohr on the Touch-line couldn't, what do you think of him as a Professional?! 3 Likes |

Oasis007:@the bolded:I ate sour grapes. Rohr's teeth has been set on edge. Fact is you could have challenged my position without the need for the needless insults on the man over what I said which is even not a matter established to be so in reality. I brought insult to Rohr? (If I talk now you will say I'm attacking your personality) is the bolded reasonable? I truly didn't expect you to travel the ignominious Road of insulting the coach. It was totally uncalled for. I didn't attack your personality at all. Your abusive outburst even surprised me. |

RULES OF FOOTBALL WHEN WE WERE KIDS 1. The fat kid was always the goalkeeper... 2. The owner of the ball decided who played... 3. Penalty (otherwise called PENARITY!) was awarded only if an injured player could curse or fight a lot... 4. The match only ended when everyone was tired... 5. No matter how many goals you scored, the winner would be determined by the last team to score... 6. No referee and linesmen. You could run with the ball even behind the goalpost... 7. If you didn't participate in repairing a damaged ball you were given a match ban... 8. If you're picked last, you're a loser... 9. The guy who's never picked was to fetch the ball from the tree or bush when it got stuck, under the car or tunnel to play in the next game... 10. When the owner of the ball got annoyed, game over... 11. You were allowed to change a goalkeeper in case of a penalty... 12. The most skillful player got automatic selection...the most bully player got automatic selection too....... 13. No discrimination, both the children of rich and the poor played together! 14. Three corners make one Penarity! 15. All players help in household work of the ball owner. 16. If the ball burst everyone contribute to pay the owner. 17. You can't dribble the owner too much. This may lead him to stop the game by taking away his ball. 18. You can go round the goalpost still return into the field and score. 19. When you hit your toes against a stone and notice blood, you quickly cover the area of injury with sands as a form of first aid. Play continue. 20. We called ourselves by nicknames of great players especially from Brazil and England. 21. Game over when it's dark and we can barely see the ball. We all dispersed in groups to our face me I face you homes teasing one another until d last player gets home to face another round of punishment from our disciplinarian parents ������������. ![]() This generation is missing a lot of free fun.

On Uzoho's "strong" face despite being such a genuinely young lad, I will just say this: I believe Uzoho's facial features look somewhat "acromegalic" and it is really not uncommon among certain youngsters. Some just seem to look older than their age mates.... Please for those who kept making jabs at Uzoho's age because of his face... Please when next such "jabbing thought" comes to you, biko ehn... Remember the face of 17 years old Brazilian boy wonder and no.3 in the World's best NXGEN 50 teens, Vinicius Jr who is already Real Madrid-bound. For emphasis sake, I repeat... Please... When next taking funny jabs at Uzoho comes to mind when you remember that he is actually 19... Then biko just remember this face of Vinicius Jr below... He is "just 17" Thanks so much. ![]() Pic 1: Vinicius Jr at 16 in the South American U-17 Championships Pic 2: Vinicius Jr at 17 Pic 3: Uzoho in goal for the Super Eagles.

I know he speaks based on personal experience with the '96 Olympic Eagles team-The Dream Team... but he may also have a point. That said, we cannot downplay the impacts and Values of a truly top goalie shaa... but still Emma Babayaro has a point Ex Super Eagles Goalkeeper – Eagles Don’t Need A Fantastic Goalkeeper To Do Well In Russia ![]() Atlanta 96 Olympic gold medallist Emmanuel Babayaro says the clamour for a very good goalkeeper for Nigeria at the World Cup in Russia is one issue that has been over emphasised. Speaking to Owngoalnigeria.com in an exclusive interview, the former West Ham United trialist said Nigeria should be looking at strengthening other areas of the team and not necessarily the goalkeeping department. The duo of Francis Odinaka Uzoho of Deportivo La Coruna and Ikechukwu Ezenwa of Enyimba are in the running to man the post for Nigeria, no thanks to the ailment suffered by first choice goalkeeper Carl Ikeme. Babayaro down played the need for a fantastic goalkeeper at the World Cup, insisting that if other areas of the team is properly stocked, an average goalkeeper can do the job for the Eagles. ”The reason why Nigerians are clamouring for a very good goalkeeper is because of the amount of goal scoring opportunities we give opponents during games. Which is directly a fault of the defenders and not the goalkeeper “, he told Owngoalnigeria.com. "Vincent Enyeama has done well for us in the last two World Cups, and the best his display has given us is to reduce the score line as other departments didn’t do what was expected of them. ”As a country we presently can’t boast of a goalkeeper of Enyeama’s quality but it’s not a necessity as being mentioned by many. For instance with all due respect to Dosu Joseph, the reason behind our triumph at the Olympics wasn’t because he was a fantastic goalkeeper. ”We won gold at the 1996 Olympics because other departments of the team made up for our short comings elsewhere. First of all we need a very good defence set up to provide cover for whoever is picked to man the post by coach Gernot Rohr. That should be our priority now”, he concluded. **Osas Mahawi Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2018/03/29/ex-super-eagles-goalkeeper-eagles-dont-need-a-fantastic-goalkeeper-to-do-well-in-russia/ Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 76 days 16 hours 34 mins to go 3 Likes |

I agree with this 80%. Good keeper cannot win you a match but a good defence can. After all, if the defence is too good the keeper will be rarely tested as it happened in Nig vs Cam @ Uyo TheSuperNerd: |

forgiveness: If we are looking for experience, Ejide is more experienced than Ayenugba. That he was inactive for a season does not cancel d fact that he is active and in form now. Playing in 2nd division should not be an issue afterall Ayenugba was also in 2nd division 2 seasons ago. If being in 2nd division is equal to poor quality then u should stop clamouring for Championship players and dont forget that Uzoho is in 3rd division. That we are saving for tomorow does not mean we should starve to death today. Fifa will not give us any trophy for parading d youngest team in d mundial, we must mix experience and youthfulness to get d needed balance. Ejide's club is on d verge of gaining promotion and he has been one of their standout player. He has years of experience in d Nigerian league, Tunisian league, French league, Israeli league and National team. In addition to his experience, He has good height and composure that could instill confidence in our defenders. I am not actually suggesting players to a coach that understands d game much more than me, but what am saying that if need be, Ejide would be d best option to fall back on. |

I am bewildered and gobsmacked that we have we declined to invite experienced men into our team. The senior WC is not U-17 or U-21, there's no prize for fielding the youngest team. Pray where is Chigozie Agbim Juwon Oshaniwa Flavor Uchebo Ejike Uzoenyi Gabriel Reuben Egqwueke Sly Igbonu Sunday Odunlami Nigerian Balotelli Gbolahan Salami Peter Utaka Stephen Mba our afcon 2013 saviour Nigerian Messi, Babatunde Rabiu Alli Paul Onobi Prince Aggrey Are they not Nigerians, some have even featured in the world cup. Their experience would be invaluable. True talk is a sibling to nonsense talk, I rest my case. |

this no be English lecture oh.. a "punny" expression must precede "no pun intended". it is used to draw attention to the pun used, either for humor sake or to prevent confusion. A common example used in my secondary school days: "seven days without water makes one weak". Can you see the humor in that? What's the humor? Seven days makes one week. Where is the confusion? The statement actually means going without water for seven days will make you WEAK. So when Mujtahida tells somehow , he is somehow, that's a pun considering that somehow is also his moniker.. it's actually funny, and saying no pun intended is to draw attention to the joke/pun. In actual sense it is better used in spoken english. in written english, it would be better to just rephrase the statement, unless the intention of course is to draw the reader's attention to the pun for humor sake. The bottom line, in the absence of pun, you cannot use the expression, "no pun intended". eterisan: 1 Like |

tbaba1234:the earlier we tell ourselves the truth...the better for US....we don't need an Ighalo kind of striker at the world cup... a striker who can miss 7 glaring chances is not what the super eagles need at this time... I think nancho we should continue with from now.... i think part of our problem in this team is rohr....his conservative nature is not helping matters.... why invite players to camp and they won't get to play a mere friendly? why keep inviting them? now...we don't know how ajayi, Gabriel play...if they are better...no one knows and thats had...this friendly especaliy against Serbia would have offered him an opportunity to play ajayi and let's see how good he is...likewise Agbo and Gabriel.... so doing we will get to know how good they're and if they can displace Ighalo. also I think dessers or sadiq umar should have been invited in place of Gabriel..... rohr is very scared of taking risks or probably he is just too conservative |

Humility017:I disagree friend. Ighalo be looking like a very good option to have. Go rewatch the Serbia game, we actually played better when he came on. He held up play very well and brought his team mates into the game. He had shots 2 or 3 I guess. Should have scored one. I will take Ighalo to lead the attack anytime any day over nacho, because he leads the attack better, especially if we are playing a lone striker. |
