The 23 players that are Most likely to make the final squad to the WC. Believe it or not drawing this list is not as easy as it might seem. Rohr can invite any 35 players from any where but baring any late withdrawals due to injuries, this is my predicted 23 players that will make the final list: Goalkeepers 1. Francis Uzoho 2. Ikechukwu Ezenwa 3. Daniel Akpeyi Defenders 4. William Troost-Ekong 5. Leon Balogun 6. Kenneth Omeruo 7. Chidozie Awaziem 8. Shehu Abdulahi 9. Tyrone Ebuehi 10. Brian Idowu 11. Elderson Echiejile Midfielders 12. Wilfred Ndidi 13. Joel Obi 14. John Ogu 15. Mikel Obi 16. Oghenekaro Etebo 17. Ogenyi Onazi Forwards 18. Alex Iwobi 19. Victor Moses 20. Moses Simon 21. Ahmed Musa 22. Kelechi Iheanacho 23. Odion Ighalo Two players that have out-side chances but they will have to displace two players from the list above: Dele Aiyenugba for Daniel Akpeyi (Dele likely to become first choice if Rohr does the needful) Olaoluwa Aina for Elderson Echiejile (I feel for Aina but Echiejile's experience is a major advantage for him) Except we are going with 9 defenders but who will drop from the midfield or forwards. Besides, what are we doing with 3LBs in the WC? So Chief Kog45 there you have it. You now understand why I would rather invite 25 and drop 2. |

forgiveness:Ayo Ogunlana played for old Ranchers bees of Kaduna coached by Argentine named Dominiques and later moved to Leventus United. He was member of Afcon 1990 team in Algeria.He was well known for his free kicks and arguably the best in Nigeria football history. CC:Icon4s,goldfish80,enomakos |

Kog45: Yeah I remember Ayo Ogunlana, but good that you put "arguably" because Jayjay Okocha IMO has been our best free-kick taker. |

Kog45:yeah that is why I added Aiyenugba for Akpeyi. But until Rohr invites Aiyanugba Akpeyi is looking like a WC candidate. |

Kog45: Hmm! I see. But the truth is, I can't even remember some of the players that represented us in the 20014 confederation cup and WC. ![]() However, the only time I remembered a good freekick taker was in 1993 when Okocha scored a beautiful one. ![]() |

Icon4s:Chief if Echiejile is going to WC as a bench warmer then better to take Aina. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 8:02pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Kog45: Haha, Aina too will warm bench naa. That and a goalkeeper slot are the only 2 available for grabs from the 23 IMO. The attitude of Echiejile and Aina in camp will determine a lot of things. And also very importantly, Rohr has the final say. |

forgiveness:Those who watched both Okocha and Ogunlana would tell you Ogunlana was naturally gifted when it comes to free kick,imagine having a player who score at least 6 goals through free kick every season. As i said i give it to Okocha in national team but club football it's Ayo Ogunlana |

March 15th is the deadline for submission of the 35 man preliminary list to FIFA.... According to a report I read on this thread sometime ago,the fringe players would execute the Congo game so as to give the regular players time to rest.... Knowing how the NFF operates,the list may be trimmed to 30 before the trip to Wembley! 1 Like |

andrew444: Brighton and Bournemouth are two teams I know very very well, I mean that i know the recruitment staff as well. One of the essential ingredients about these teams is that they are very hardworking and require little flattery and more end product. That's the reason Ibe struggled at Bournemouth initially and is only now finding his feet. Iwobi is not a hard working player, skilful , with a good amount of trickery but hard work, physicality and grit, no that is not him. He will not find it easy and they will not consider him. The true test of a player is when he has to fight to make his own way in a team without the luxury of quality support. |

Icon4s: TBH,I'm beginning to agree with the motion that Aina may miss the WC squad.. he hasn't been convincing in the few games he has played under Rohr.. even Idowu hasn't done anything special, but he is better defensively than Aina... |
