Martz101:


so you will rather drop musa thann joel obi with his glass leg.

See let me tell you something, tournerment like worldcup is not friendly match were you will get injured and get replaced, why take a -1 when we have other players

*Musa plays for a club in russia so his comfortable with the weather and pitch even the fans know him, just imagine us playing in CSKA stadium

* Musa is in form and score goals which what we need in super eagle now

* joel was injured and is injury prone and might even get injured after announcing the squad

* we have 5 key and fit midfielders that executed the quantifying matches, Mikel, Onazi, Ndidi, ogu and Etebo

oga if they keep Musa and obi i will pick Musa

I never made a pick between Musa and Joel because they do not play the same position but I will definitely pick an inform Joel over Etebor,Onazi, Ogu and Agu. Musa could be a liability some a lot of times.

andrew444:


I agree with you on this.

Simy and lakosa will not go to the world cup,if i am the coach and for example iheanacho is injured or ighalo i will not even fix simy or lakosa in,there are there to fill the list just as you have said.

That cut me LMAO.

Just let us pray nothing happens else we are stucked with dem.

forgiveness:

Dey deceive yourself.

Don't mind him.

confusion in thier camp already ... Icardi is the highest goal scorer in the Serie A.

Omo, what other specifics do you need when we already have a confession from an insider?

Listen, soccer is now business - and we're talking about multi trillion dollar business. Hence, it's in FIFA's best interest that certain countries perform well to keep the money coming. And they would do everything within their powers to make that happen. Do you think that FIFA would be happy to see a World Cup final involving Nigeria and Panama? Or Senegal and Iran??

Why do you think that Real Madrid almost always get the easiest draw in the knockout stages Champions League? Do you think that it's merely by luck of the draw? Yea rite! It's a rigged system, bro


O pari

Madrid easy knockout stage UCL matches? You are kidding right, don't be blinded by ur love for Barcelona. No easy draw for Madrid in UCL.

Pick the easy draw out

2016/2017
Madrid vs Napoli---- R16
Madrid vs Bayern--- Quarter
Madrid vs Atletico--- Semi


2017/2018
Madrid vs PSG(light 1 champion)----R16
Madrid vs Juve(Serie A champion)---- Quarter
Madrid vs Bayern(Bundesliga champion)----Semi


Those are back to back champions of their leagues. Madrid are not the cause of ur team's recent failure at the ucl competition.

Quarter back to back.

Kai.. na ur pikin? Raise ur own child to act like a man by the time he is 21. Many Naija boys when dey form man can’t even leave their papa house. I beg make he enjoy the bond.. na Naija he dey. Make he papa when be area waka with am

Martz101:


meanwhile seeing pictures of iwobi always coming in with his dad gives me a picture of him lacking maturity and might actually transit to his game.

common this dude is 21 and should act like a man not a daddy boy

Naah I don't think so, even at my age my dad still tries to detail someone to me when I visit home, its just natural for parents to try been protective. my own is even worse because both me and my pops serve in the Army but I am senior in rank and that one no mean say the man no go police me when I dey him house.
Its all love and I am sure you will do same too.

charlesemeka85:
pinnick has done that already by given rohr a new 2 year deal. regardless of the teams performance rohr is on the right track and i foresee this team doing wonders in the next afcon if they qualify. rohr's positive input in this team is obvious by the way the team qualified in style from one of the toughest groups when no one gave them a chance. i must also commend pinnick and his crew for giving their immerse support to the coaching crew by creating an enabling environment for them to work. for once the interference of agents and God-fatherism which have bedeviled our national team for a long time is now a thing of the past. now players turning out good performances in their various clubs both in the local scene and Europe are given fair chances to prove themselves by inviting them by merit. now we have a coach who makes out to to visit our players in their various clubs to check how they are fairing and also intervene on their behalf when they aren't seeing much playing time.

Sir the contract extension was based on WC qualification and it was on initial contract agreement signed by Rohr and NFF.

This did not state that Rohr's job is secured irrespective of his performance.Nigeria is a great football nation that have been to five WC with three 2nd round qualification,so Nigerians are expecting good performance and anything short of this can lead to sack if not properly.handled.

forgiveness:


Ok sir. But ehmmm! My eyes are on Joel Obi to make it to the WC.

Joel is fan favourite, but we need to out sentiment aside and do what is right, if his not in the best shape then should be dropped

OMANBALA1:

Ok your opinion, thank God you are not Rohr

@Andrew444

Pavon is far more important to Argentina than Icardi. If you have seen how they play you won't bother asking about Icardi. They are deadly on the flanks especially with Pavon.

Truidstar:


Have seen so many possible. Why is everyone so sure John Ogu will make the final 23.

I prefer Joel Obi and don't think he has a guaranteed place in the team. Ogu is slow and lacks mobility particularly in a fast paced game.

lexyman:

Icardi can score a million goals and still be dropped. He slept with a former teammates wife so his presence will just bring disharmony in the camp.

MetalJigsaw:
Don't mind him.

before nko.

OMANBALA1:


He is one of the most inform midfielder we have who also plays in Seria A and thats a big deal because we dont have many choices. We have to look beyond the injury prone thing and use him based on his current form and what he brings to the table

Mr man he's not Victor moses or Mikel or Ndidi who are instances of our most important players in the team. What does he have more than any other player in the team?

How can we overlook a player's terrible injury issues. A Joel Obi that hardly plays three matches consecutively without getting injured. Don't you know that an injured player can never be replaced in the squad during the tournament?

Pavon impressive against russia? what next? we all know icardi was not drop for footballing reason because he is their best striker in europe,icardi 4 caps was 2 during the 2013 and 2 during the WCQ,i feel for the guy.

Bolowolowo:


He never got playing time in EPL so he couldn't showcase his talent.

And why was he relegated to playing U23 football.

And yes he got playing time despite his reputed pace he was simply abysmal. 33 games should really enough to prove your quality in any league the EPL included.

This our team bus is such a beauty..

Everything about pinnick is just beauty and flashy..

From wife to eagles jersey now to team bus

Icon4s:


Most of those free to air devices did not show live football matches. We found out when we later got ours.

It was when we started watching on DSTV that we really watched live football.

No i won't do the same, my 21 year old son should be brave, i believe this will be affecting his attitude in the pitch.

Football is about mental toughness, bravery then the skills. iwobi lacks toughness, i believe upbringing could tell alot in ones game play.

Martz101:

I agree Joel should be dropped if he is not 100% fit but if he is fit, I don't see any reason he should be dropped.

At one point, he was our best CMF when he played together with Mikel Obi.

they dropped Icardi and took Dybala that is impotent for Argentina .

Anyway, it's good, at least Mikel will get another opportunity to turn Dybala like yellow garri on the field of play

To be honest my first full world cup was brazil 2014 i was 13 in 2010

I don see my boy for here
