keshi that almost refused take osaze to last world cup...I remember when asked about otigba he was ignorant.
he was a business man..
I see his Brazil 2014 sojourn as a busineas trip....

I won't lie to you, I don't like remembering the 2014 World Cup. Despite us equalling our best performances at the soccer fiesta. I reiterates that it was LUCK that saw us through to the second round and landed us the 2013 AFCON. -Nothing More.

EagleScribes:


I think there was one Rabiu Ibrahim who also played a part in that world cup

Yes Rabiu Ibrahim "new Jayjay" who was called to camp at the age of 16 by Berti Vogts prior to 2008 afcon but dropped due to groin injury.

Keshi called him to camp for afcon 2013 but failed to make the team.

Arthur Okonkwo, Goalkeeper of Arsenal under 19 helping the team win the Dallas cup.

Another future eagle.

Ademola Lookman with a goal and assist for Lepzig.

So i understand the Atletico game will be played by fringe foreign players and local players.. I understand Musa Yahaya will be part of the fringe foreign players

Yes luck does it sometimes but beating CIV 2-1,Mali 4-1 and Burkina Faso 1-0 wasn't luck but performance.

If you check 2013 afcon team,especially in the group stage,Keshi didn't get it right with his selection and the team struggled to reach quarter final and this was due to Nosa Igiebor and Fengor Ogude below performance.

The moment they are replaced with Sunday Mba and Ogenyi Onazi,the team came into shape and from quarter final to final,Nigeria became a team to beat.

I think what happened at WC was success of afcon getting into Keshi's head and this really affected the team cos i expected bulk of afcon team making WC squad,Ideye, Uche,Mba,Ogude and Igiebor were dropped.

Truly i saw luck against Bosnia cos Dzeko disallowed goal paved way for us and it happened in football and one of those thing,referee decision sometimes does the magic.

Yes you are right but tbaba1234 you guys didn't break the news here first but surprised to see it in normal nairaland sports section for good four days thinking it was rumour until TheSuperNerd posted it though in full version.

Pls any news on WC list.Also Ebuehi groin injury,Etebo injury and latest on Ndidi.

Truidstar:
osimhen that is injured and is out till next season?

If Osimhen want to make headway and have solid career he need to move from Wolfsburg may be on loan to Belgium or Holland for good development.

Joebie:
We have a better chance of landing Uduokhai than Akpoguma. Torunarigha don loss

Joebie i don't think these guys are ready for us

Rohr threw wide card for these guys to represent Nigeria at WC but still they remain adamant.If we are insisting then why blaming Tammy.

Good age is still on Ekong and Awaziem sides and hope to see Balogun and Omeruo spending some years more.

I think we are going to discover the likes of Awaziem after WC.

Ok

Early rumors are making the rounds of Wolverhampton Wolves' interest in landing Ahmed Musa ahead of the 2018/2019 EPL season...

Kog45:
Sir am not defending Keshi but talking football and i don't see you hating Keshi,so we are here to discuss.

Sir when it comes to Nigeria football especially the politics of the game,sorry i know a lot especially on players invitation and it did not exclude Rohr present eagles.

OK let me ask you,is Ezenwa the best in NPFL?hope you know Ezenwa is second choice at Enyimba at the moment,but on record Ezenwa is seen as the best in NPFL.

Do we blame Rohr for that?No cos that was the recommendation from Alloy Agu who was on ground

ezenwa is far better than agbim....
ezenwa outing in the last CHAN is something worthy of applause but same can't be said of agbim during the CHAN tourney in south Africa that year...against Mozambique his outing was shambles... and lots more everyone who watch that Chan will tell you same....

agbim was a basket kind of goalie...
but still keshi sticked with him...
rohr can be exonerated being that he is not too conversant with our local league but keshi knew this...that agbim wasn't the best in the npfl even the league management company cried out that his Chan team wasn't the best the epl could offer....
he is was simply a business man who sees football as an opportunity to fill his pocket and not to win laurels and make astute name for himself...

Pls let's end it.

If he get sense, he should push for a stay with CSKA MOSCOW. He will benefit a lot from playing in CSKA MOSCOW.

My list not Rohr.yes Kayode and any third striker would work their socks off to make the team.

Modified... Simmy stats not encouraging and watched him closely recently not my type of striker.

I think Sallah failed at Chelsea and came back to Liverpool,so we cannot say,possibly he can get it done at wolves.EPL just too lucrative to ignore.

Because they play in the NPFL?

Better they keep him out for him to recover fully before the WC.
