G....and look what a failure Oliseh turned out to be. Many might even say he is the reason we aren't going to Russia with a seasoned goalie.

Anybody that has no coaching experience should not be considered for such a job.

The 'failure' Oliseh played a crucial part to qualify us for the world cup. GBAM

What an irony!

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 27 days 4 hours 7 mins to go

Before the Serbia-Poland friendlies, Rohr made it clear he would be inviting 28 to prosecute the friendlies and later 30 players to make the preliminary World Cup squad. So tell us, when was the 5 names sneaked in to make it 35?

forgiveness:



Sadiq Umar is a Roma player.

He's even in for the Athletico Madrid friendly or it's also likely he is among the 35 man list which NFF decided to show us 30 and decided to call the other 5 foreign players to join the team secretly after the friendly match against Athletico Madrid with the excuse that they are just training with the main team. That's all.

No wonder 7 foreign players were called to hide their secret dealings, so as not to make it obvious that 5 were actually on the list.

This plan might have been explained to their various clubs in order to secure their release because the clubs, in no normal circumstances are oblige to release their players for an inconsequential friendly that will add no value to the players hence the Roma famzing us.

If true, NFF and Rohr wouldn't have been able to explain the inclusion of five targeted players if they announced all the 35 man list at once because it's obvious they are not the best we have this season hence the defactor.

I know the players are the Nwakali brothers, Alhassan Ibrahim, Musa Mohammed and Sadiq Umar.

How could they have realised these players names ahead of the obvious better ones that did well this season?

There's nothing hidden under the Sun that will not be made manifest to light.

Wisdom of man is foolish.

Well, I am watching. Peradventure it plays out then I know agent is at work.

what crucial part? Playing teams that we could win if na me sef dey coach?

He also played a crucial part in ensuring we missed out on AFCON.

Oliseh failed, he destroyed the team and till today, we are still suffering for it. We will not allow another mistake of that calibre, be it in Mutiu or whoever

lexyman:



i love the team setup , if one player misses the chance the other player is there to execute it , if Yekini had missed the chance , Amuinike was there to carry out his duty , even when Yekini missed the crosses , Amunike went there with a flying header ... the same thing at the back line set up , they played for one another .... this is the similarity this present team has , but i hope they will be displine enough to play together as one unit and hit the opponent when its necessary ...

That is the essence of team chemistry

I count 19 names but mehn good to see those names in bold. They are bringing a relatively strong side judging by this OGN report

Rohr To Update World Cup List With Poland, Serbia Friendlies; Monitors Ezenwa, Simon

Gold Usenekong
3 months ago
By Adeboye Amosu: Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr says next month’s friendly fixtures against Poland and Serbia present a big opportunity for players to stake claims for spots in his final squad ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

The three-time time African champions will face Poland in Warsaw on March 23rd and take on Serbia four days later in London.

Got something to say? The let your voice be heard! Back Pass *Sport related topics only*
Three other build-up games against Congo, England and Czech Republic are also lined up for May 28, June 2nd and June 6th respectively.

Rohr stated that he has pencilled down a list of 28 players for two friendlies and hopes the players push hard to make the final list for the mundial.


“In the next couple of weeks we will release a list of 28 players for the friendly games against Poland and Serbia. We still have one or two players that we want to check on before coming out with the list,” the German coach told CSN at the Agege Stadium, Lagos on Wednesday.

“Moses Simon has been injured a couple of weeks now and we expect that he will be back in action for his club (Gent of Belgium) this weekend.

“There is also Ezenwa who is injured at the moment but is working hard to be fit.

“The games against Poland and Serbia is a big chance for the new players to show they have what it takes to play for us. As you know the next game will be in May so now is time for everyone who want to go to Russia to prove their quality.

“The two games are also important for us because the last time we played together was in November against Argentina. So, it will be an opportunity to work together again before the World Cup.

“In May, we will release another 30-man list for the other friendly games from which we will draw the final list for the World Cup.”

The Super Eagles will open their campaign at the 2018 FIFA World Cup on June 16 against Croatia at the Kaliningrad Stadium.

They will also face Iceland on June 22 at the Volgograd Arena. Their final group game is against Argentina on June 26 at the Krestovsky Stadium, St Petersburg.

the list wey forgiveness they hold get 35 players now

Some of the stars of the list include Ajagun, Lawal, Aluko, Kayode and other such awesome footballers.

That is the list NFF should have released, but Rohr was bribed and he ended up releasing names of nonsense footballers like Iheanacho, Ebuehi, Ahmed Musa, Lokosa, Simy and other failures.


Even foreign coaches can also be compromised

that one na distraction, but you siddon write full epistle to explain how Sadiq Umar who is on loan from Roma, is the reason why the team is supporting Nigeria.

Roma left all their other players NTs, players that are not on loan, come dey support Nigeria on top Sadiq Umar team, like say he be their Messi. And no be say Sadiq dey go World Cup sef


You this man ehn.....

Find out if they also support Brazil and other countries with their players on the provisional list?

Actually...

You are Wrong. It has nothing to do with Sadiq Umar. I have already told the thread why Roma is doing it. It was all due to a certain @MarkOtabor on Twitter. And this is obviously to gain some Nigerian fans in this period of showing solidarity for the Super Eagles.


So..... In conclusion eh Egbon...

TThe same way the 2 names sneaked in might be the same way 5 extra players sneaked in.

After all, Rohr made it clear that inviting 28 players initial, why the sudden change?

Don't worry FIFA will still pay Oliseh Sunday for the crucial part he played to qualify us for the world cup.

How many AFCON matches did Oliseh lose?

Mutiu was more qualified than Amuneke in regards to coaching experience and qualification yet Amuneke was chosen as the assistant to Garba and later Under 17 and under 20, heaven didn't fall and you all applauded it. Why pin point Mutiu?

that is why someone said Mutiu should coach age grade


Nobody suggested Amunike for Super Eagles job, did they?

Whether they pay Oliseh or not, takes nothing away from the point that he wasn't a good coach. After all, civil servants in Nigeria are paid for doing nothing most of the time

joseph1013:


We were clinical. One would think that with a 3 nil scoreline we outclassed them, but that's not true. They pressed us, and having someone like Rufai really gave confidence to the defenders.

I love that we took our chances.

Great throwback.

The same Bulgaria that sent France packing during the 94 world cup qualifiers, a great side. Reason our victory over them was a very sweet one

Joebie:

Haba! Take it easy. We are watching.

Amuneke demonstrated tactical acumen as an U17 coach. While Manu Garba’s U17 team of 2013 looked more talented, Amuneke’s team of 2015 were more tactically disciplined. Siasia’s strengths remain his attack mindedness. You cannot have that kind of coach as your assistant and still be lacking goals. A silver and bronze medal at the olympics shows merit and great experience on the job.

We are not talking coaching badges here.

Oliseh Sunday is not a good coach yet secured promotion for a dead club that gave him free hands.

Yes! FIFA will pay him for work weldon because it doesn't change the fact that he qualified us for the next stage.

Mutiu was not the only one on my list yet he has been fished out twice.

Besides, we are talking about assistant coach of the Super Eagles. If that be the case I will prefer Garba, John Obuh, Mutiu Adepoju and John Salako ahead of Amuneke and Siasia.

Someone suggested Amuneke or Siasia should replace Salisu and this was what brought up the discussion in the first place.

Martz101:


hello sir, was chimamanda wrong?

She was not wrong but dead wrong because nowhere in Igbo land does lesbian marriage exist...It is not in our culture. However, what you have are old women who has lost their husband and didnt have male child are encouraged by the umunna to marry a wife IN THE NAME OF THE DECEASED HUSBAND and find somebody to impregnate her. Most of the women married into this marriage are societal rejects like girls who got pregnant out of wedlock...In Igbo land or Anambra to be precise we look down on girls who got pregnate,had the baby in their fathers house and didnt get married.

Chimamanda is out of her mind and I hope to run into her one day. Her feminism project is getting to her head,she is a writer not a historian.

Matuidi and his fellow midfield lieutenants go hear am. We wilp be ready for them this time.
