FIFA posted on their Facebook page : "Who will win Group D?" Check out the comments by some foreigners Roelant Frijns This may actually be the most exciting group out of all of them. Let's get 1 thing out of the way, though: Argentina will probably not screw up too hard and progress without too many problems, though neither one of their opponents are going to be a "walk in the park." Croatia seems to be the obvious candidate for the second spot, but they haven't been in great shape lately. That's not to say they won't pose a big threat to their opponents, but Nigeria have been phenomenal over the past 2 years and may very well spring a surprise - in fact they beat a near-perfect Argentina side last November, to name an example. Iceland may be set back by their lack of experience, but at the EUROs they showed us that they can do anything Krsto Reskusic Croatia vs. Nigeria will decide the fate of this group. If Croatia can get 3 points in their first match, I am confident they will advance and win the group. Going into the Argentina game with a W, Croatia will out play Argentina. If they lose, they will not advance, with Nigeria and Argentina taking the top 2 spots. If the game ends in a draw this group will be wide open and it will be decided by goal differential for the final spot. 1 Like |

Bonaventure Dennis set to start after injury crisis hits Belgian championship contenders Club Brugge Bonaventure Dennis is likely to start for Club Brugge tomorrow in a decisive Belgian championship playoff clash following injury to star forward Abdoulay Diaby. He was a 70th minute substitute in his team’s last game against Anderlecht. Diaby missed Sunday’s controversial home loss to Anderlecht no thanks to an ankle injury and he does not likely to shrug off this in time for the championship playoff game against Charleroi. Two other key players of Club Brugge could also miss the crucial game against Charleroi no thanks to injury. Dennis, 20, has enjoyed a good debut season in Belgium. He has scored seven goals in 27 matches for his club. Club Brugge lead the playoff standings on 42 points from seven matches, two points ahead of champions Anderlecht.

Icon4s: I do not have problem with the U21. I even welcome it. It falls under doing more than just folding our arms. However, we still need other ways to capture those that fall outside the age grades. However, it is better we do little than nothing and I hope we exhaust the opportunities we can create. |

Ogu: Banega Is The Toughest Argentina Player I’ve Faced May 9, 2018 Super Eagles midfielder, John Ogu, has described Ever Banega as the toughest Argentina midfielder he has faced in a football match, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. The Hapoel Be’er Sheva midfielder has faced the Sevilla star man three times – twice with Hapoel Be’er Sheva and once with the Super Eagles. He admits that the 29 year old Banega has tremendous skills in linking up defensive play with the attack perfectly which the Eagles must be wary of in their 2018 World Cup Group D match against the Albiceleste in Saint Petersburg on June 26. Nigeria will clash with Argentina in their final group D game after facing Croatia and Iceland at the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup with the duo expected to come up against themselves in that encounter. “Argentina are a good side and with Banega in the middle, we must also watch him, not Lionel Messi alone,” Ogu began in a exclusive chat with CSN. “With Banega around, you have to be at alert always. I have played against him three times – twice with Hapoel Beer Sheva and once with the Super Eagles. “He’s that type of player that can deal with you defensively and hurt you as wellgoing forward. He is strong, stubborn and skilful as well.” Ogu and Banega are expected to be named in Nigeria and Argentina’s squads respectively, for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Meanwhile Ogu, 29, is expected to be named in Nigeria’s squad to face DR Congo in an international friendly match on May 29 is also looking forward to winning his third Israeli League title with Hapoel Beer Sheva this season. “We just need to win and be sure of another title. Moving to Isreal when I did was one of the best footballing decisions I made because I won titles,” he stated. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/ogu-banega-is-the-toughest-argentina-player-ive-faced/ 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: How you go just dey dey yarn rubbish? Against CIV we should have won 3-0, there was a chance that Emenike missed before he even scored that goal, and the goal that CIV scored was because of a dive by Drogba, do watch the highlights again. Our defence hardly even had anything to do, in fact they had a far tougher game against Burkina Faso How exactly were we poor at the Confed cup? Against Tahiti we created enough chances to score atleast 10goals, is it Keshi's fault that the strikers on the day(Ujah and co) couldn't score? Or is it also Keshi's fault that most of our regulars were injured going to that tournament? I believe we missed like 3-4 core players in that tournament yet we played very well, now we lose 3 players and we are mince meat for ordinary SA and Serbia. Uruguay were eventual WC semifinalists yet they didn't outplay us. Then in the game against Spain, we were no longer going to qualify, do you still come to park the bus? You come out and play football since you have nothing to lose, that is the basic of knockout football. I don't understand your problem exactly. Is it that Keshi did not qualify Togo? There is also another instance of how good Keshi is, in one Afcon like that he took Mali and they came back from 4 goals down at halftime to tie 4 all with the hosts Angola, we couldn't even come back from two goals down against SA in a competitive game, that says a lot. Nobody is arguing against what Rohr is doing but saying that Keshi is better, way better than Rohr TACTICALLY is clear for even the blind to see |

Mickael2: You remind me of the strikers we paraded at that Confed Cup: Brown Ideye, Anthony Ujah and Gambo Mohammed. Nigeria scored a total of 7 goals in the tournament. But guess what? None came from the so called strikers. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 6:43pm On May 09, 2018 |
Icon4s: our strikers then were piss poor. I remember against Tahiti there was a time Ujah was sent clean through on goal and somehow he fell down, I thought that was going to be the worst miss of the match until Ideye started doing his own. Oduamadi was scoring far tougher chances. Since that match na only Musa wey I don see wey dey fall for ground in front of keeper |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 6:49pm On May 09, 2018 |
Mickael2: Against Tahiti, Ideye wanted to claim one of Oduamadi's goals by still kicking the ball against the need after it had clearly crossed the line. Emenike's goal scoring just later dried up like someone tied his legs from the village. Keshi did not have good strikers during his time. |
