I personally can't think of a better deep lying mid fielder in that Belgium squad than Naingolan.

Martinez is clueless though.

Martins is a donkey,even the chinese based players made the list,i dont know why he is against nianggolan

I think he kinda improved his defensive game. He is good going forward and can hit great freekicks but his defensive game have been called into question even in their title winning season. But I noticed he has improved somewhat defensively.



Monreal got the nod ahead of him there,thou they are all back up to jordi alba.

Even nacho that made the squad is not a good player,he made the squad because he plays for madrid.

I was looking at the players in the 23 man list of the Brazilian national team and suprissingly Taison and Fred from the lowly rated Ukrainian league made the list ahead of Williams Jose and Leo Baptistao from the highly rated La liga, Malcolm from the highly rated Ligue 1, Vitinho from the highly rated Russian League, Allan from the highly rated Seria A and Richarlison from the highly rated EPL. Chai! shocked grin

I can't understand how a whole almighty Brazil will go so cheap and low for players in the Ukrainian league for players who did wonderfully well in the top 5 leagues in the world? grin

What could be the index used for selection by the Brazilian national team coach?

Then, I stumbled at this article where the coach gave the index and criteria used for selection then I know this country is successful in soccer due to their ability to choose players based on high level technical knowledge of the art and momentum of soccer. There I salute. But it isa different ball game here.

The coach didn't give a technical reason he choosed some players.

He just released the list with no explanation because na Africa we be. grin

Just read the the bolded and you are blown away.




Brazil's World Cup Snubbed XI
Brazil's 2018 FIFA World Cup Snubbed IX

By David Kappel - May 18, 2018 07:16 PM

Brazil coach Tite recently announced his 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and left out some pretty big names. Here is a strong starting line-up made up of Selecao stars who were not selected for the World Cup.

The 56-year-old announced his squad for the showpiece in Russia on Monday, opting to select just 23 names instead of a provisional squad, despite the deadline for the final World Cup squads only being on 4 June.

Tite gave some insight into his selection process, which was supported by his technical team.

"There were many doubts. Sometimes the decision of an athlete to be called depends on the system, the way the team acts, what I believe, what the technical committee believes," the coach explained, as quoted by Globo Esporte.

"Sometimes it's his technical momentum, solidity during the high-level playing campaign. The World Cup moment is the maximum, mentally the players have to be very strong, and they need to be in good physical shape, while we also take the technical and tactical aspect into consideration."

Despite the intensive scouting and preparations for the 23-man selection, there are still some Selecao stars who might feel hard done by.

Valencia goalkeeper Neto, for example, had a great campaign in LaLiga and was part of the latest Selecao squads, but was replaced by Brazil-based Cassio in the World Cup selection.

At the back, AS Monaco right-back Fabinho and Juventus left-back Alex Sandro would probably start for many international teams, but were not chosen by Tite.

David Luiz and Rodrigo Caio missed out as central defenders, while new FC Barcelona signing Arthur was hoping for a spot in central midfield.

Napoli midfielder Allan was one of the standout players in Serie A this season, and many hoped the uncapped player would be part of Tite's World Cup squad, but the 27-year-old was once again overlooked.

Lucas Moura and Malcom would also feature in many other teams on the wings, but they, too, were not considered good enough for Brazil. Anderson Talisca starred as an attacking midfielder for Besiktas this season, scoring 19 goals, yet the 24-year-old was also not called up.

Gremio striker Luan is reportedly on the scouting list of many Premier League sides, but the 25-year-old won't be in Russia, with Tite and his coaching team preferring other options up front.

Which Brazil stars do you think Tite should have called up to his World Cup squad? Have your say in the comments section below.

is Brazil and her coaching philosophy a measuring yardstick gernort Rohr must follow?

Must the gaffer explain every hook and cranny of his decision and philosophy to us fans?

Guys I wrote this piece on my blog:

Who Will Make The Super Eagles 23-Man List For The World Cup?

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has released the 30-man provisional list for the FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The list had very few surprises with inform forwards, Junior Lokosa and Simmy Nwankwo making the list. The squad is expected to resume camp on the 21st of May in Uyo. However, the final squad of just 23 players will be released on or before the deadline on June 4.

Today, we look at the possible 23 players who could make the Super Eagles squad going to Russia.


Possible 23 Man Squad Of The Super Eagles For The 2018 FIFA World Cup

Goalkeepers:
Gernot Rohr named four goalkeepers in his provisional list, with Dele Alampasu missing out on the list. Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Francis Uzoho, Daniel Akpeyi, and Plateau United shot-stopper Dele Ajiboye. Three goalkeepers are expected to make the list of 23.
I expect all, except Delete Ajiboye to make the final squad. The starting spot will be a battle between Uzoho and Ezenwa.


Defenders:
10 very good defenders were called up in the provisional list. Gernot Rohr will obviously name eight defenders in the final squad. Two players for each position, one as a backup. We already know the coach’s preferred back four of Shehu Abdullahi, Ekong, Balogun and Echiejile. Four more players will be added to this current ones, and two will be dropped. Players who are versatile will have an edge. I’m expecting Ebuehi, Omeruo, Awaziem, and Idowu to make the final list. Stephen Eze and Ola Aina might miss out.


Midfielders:
Nigeria’s midfielder position is up for grabs for only inform players. The friendly matches against Congo and England will play a part in deciding who makes the final 23 man list. 8 players were named in the 30-man provisional list, but 6 are likely to make the final cut. Mikel, Onazi and Ndidi already have their place in the squad after their strong showings in the qualifications. Uche Agbo and Mikel Agu the likely players to miss out on the final list, they have not done anything to cement their place in the National team



Forwards:
This is where the real competition lies. There so many in-form attacking options at the disposal of Gernot Rohr. The recent form of Simmy Nwankwo, Junior Lokosa and Kelechi Iheanacho will give the coach a serious selection headache. The versatility of the forwards and their performance in the friendly games will determine who makes the squad. The real competition will be between Moses Simon, Junior Lokosa and Simeon Nwankwo. Although I’m expecting the competition to be stiff, I expect Simeon Nwankwo to edge out Moses Simon and Lokosa, if he performs well in the friendlies.





The possible Nigerian 23 Man List For The World Cup

Goalkeepers:

Ikechukwu Ezenwa
Francis Uzoho
Daniel Akpeyi

Defenders:

Abdullahi Shehu
Tyronne Ebuehi
Elderson Echiejile
Brian Idowu
Chidozie Awaziem
William Ekong
Leon Balogun
Kenneth Omeruo

Midfielders:

Mikel John Obi
Ogenyi Onazi
Wilfred Ndidi
Oghenekaro Etebo
John Ogu
Joel Obi

Forwards:

Ahmed Musa
Kelechi Iheanacho
Victor Moses
Odion Ighalo
Alex Iwobi
Nwankwo Simeon

There could be a few surprises, so we might never know. But baring dips in form and injuries, this is the most likely 23 man squad. We hope the best players make the list and do Nigerians proud in Russia, come June

Sir Realest poacher.... What I see here mostly are Men of Olds from different Oldies timelines.... Unlike "boys" or 90s kids abi na indomie generation lads like myself whose first full WC was 2002 Korea/Japan sad France 98, me was just 6 and followed it without much interest. I only saw some games especially Nigeria's and the final because my dad did. I was just one year away from being infected with the football bug. And so it happened in 1999... I stumbled upon an archive of Great sporting and football events kept in organised formats by my elder brother in different files in his famed hideout.... That day, I was infected and my serendipity began for me a journey into the beautiful game at age 7.

It had been brilliant since then.... I still have that child-like wonder from time to time as regards football. smiley



But mehn... Reading Asha80, Mujtahida, Tbaba1234, Icon4s all talk about their good old days when Dad and Mum never even meet na real wire..... sad To make matters worst, Elder Kog45 dropped hints say him watch 1982 WC. Meaning Baba saw 1980 Afcon and Maybe Elder Enomakos saw 1976 Afcon... Mehn... I have always known that we get Super Elders and Youngie Elders for hia but mehn.... I never even call Sir TheGoodJoe, Sir Joebie and others who I spot... All fall into various grades of the Elders classifications... The youngie Elders, The Middle age Elders, The Grand elders, The Super Grand Elders... And the Elites (those who possibly saw the 1950-1970 WC editions and watch from above on this thread and will never ever drop a comment... I mean like never!)

Una don fully expose unaseleves this weekend.. And I look around and I be like... "Wetin give me mind bikonu to stand where dese men dem dey stand for football discussions sef?" cry



Thanks goodness say I get fellow 90s kids like Safarigirl, Sir Humility017, and a few others for hia...

The likes of Maidaboi and Abusule007 dey give me hope at least... Good to know I get younger siblings here... cheesy And Hey! E be like say Elyte89 follow for the younger siblings sef... Bia I read your confession too ooo... Hehehehehehe....

It is all good... All these timelines in our football experiences provide a fine solid bridge we can all walk on anytime either for a visit to the past or into recent times or for a glance into the future while keeping eyes on the present..... It's like a family cutting across different times. smiley

Well thanks for the quote but

"Boys" here was used figuratively wink

Your 23-man list is sound and is likely to be Rohr's final official 23 give or take. Give or take two/three names that is. wink

With the exclusion and inclusion of two or three names, your list is Rohr's. We all can easily name Rohr's 20-21 from the 30.
The remaining two or three names which only few of us here can guess or get right is something that will stun some but not stun some others too.

But get this straight... A WC list without Simon Moses among the 23 is very unlikely based on the provisional 30. On Simy, his chances depend on how many midfielders we are gonna take to Russia. If it is five, then I see him making it.

Nice write-up Sir Caspian.

Guys I wrote this piece on my blog:

Who Will Make The Super Eagles 23-Man List For The World Cup?

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has released the 30-man provisional list for the FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The list had very few surprises with inform forwards, Junior Lokosa and Simmy Nwankwo making the list. The squad is expected to resume camp on the 21st of May in Uyo. However, the final squad of just 23 players will be released on or before the deadline on June 4.

Today, we look at the possible 23 players who could make the Super Eagles squad going to Russia.


Possible 23 Man Squad Of The Super Eagles For The 2018 FIFA World Cup

Goalkeepers:
Gernot Rohr named four goalkeepers in his provisional list, with Dele Alampasu missing out on the list. Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Francis Uzoho, Daniel Akpeyi, and Plateau United shot-stopper Dele Ajiboye. Three goalkeepers are expected to make the list of 23.
I expect all, except Delete Ajiboye to make the final squad. The starting spot will be a battle between Uzoho and Ezenwa.


Defenders:
10 very good defenders were called up in the provisional list. Gernot Rohr will obviously name eight defenders in the final squad. Two players for each position, one as a backup. We already know the coach’s preferred back four of Shehu Abdullahi, Ekong, Balogun and Echiejile. Four more players will be added to this current ones, and two will be dropped. Players who are versatile will have an edge. I’m expecting Ebuehi, Omeruo, Awaziem, and Idowu to make the final list. Stephen Eze and Ola Aina might miss out.


Midfielders:
Nigeria’s midfielder position is up for grabs for only inform players. The friendly matches against Congo and England will play a part in deciding who makes the final 23 man list. 8 players were named in the 30-man provisional list, but 6 are likely to make the final cut. Mikel, Onazi and Ndidi already have their place in the squad after their strong showings in the qualifications. Uche Agbo and Mikel Agu the likely players to miss out on the final list, they have not done anything to cement their place in the National team



Forwards:
This is where the real competition lies. There so many in-form attacking options at the disposal of Gernot Rohr. The recent form of Simmy Nwankwo, Junior Lokosa and Kelechi Iheanacho will give the coach a serious selection headache. The versatility of the forwards and their performance in the friendly games will determine who makes the squad. The real competition will be between Moses Simon, Junior Lokosa and Simeon Nwankwo. Although I’m expecting the competition to be stiff, I expect Simeon Nwankwo to edge out Moses Simon and Lokosa, if he performs well in the friendlies.





The possible Nigerian 23 Man List For The World Cup

Goalkeepers:

Ikechukwu Ezenwa
Francis Uzoho
Daniel Akpeyi

Defenders:

Abdullahi Shehu
Tyronne Ebuehi
Elderson Echiejile
Brian Idowu
Chidozie Awaziem
William Ekong
Leon Balogun
Kenneth Omeruo

Midfielders:

Mikel John Obi
Ogenyi Onazi
Wilfred Ndidi
Oghenekaro Etebo
John Ogu
Joel Obi

Forwards:

Ahmed Musa
Kelechi Iheanacho
Victor Moses
Odion Ighalo
Alex Iwobi
Nwankwo Simeon

There could be a few surprises, so we might never know. But baring dips in form and injuries, this is the most likely 23 man squad. We hope the best players make the list and do Nigerians proud in Russia, come June

No be tactically inclined matter. Tactical might mean “according to my tactics”
At the end of the day, the coach gets the full blame if the team fails.
