Dont be so quick my bro.... there are kids that actually had understanding of the game back then. Its all about interest. I remember the 86 world cup. There was a dude in my primary school who could list the starting 11 of Argentina. We used to fight on which country to choose when playing "table soccer " with bottle covers. And paste calender numbers on the cover to depict jerseys. Children of today are hounded in the house. Its all about playstation and XBox today

I did this thing with the 94 set.

MetalJigsaw:
Yes o

not really impressed with his performance against Poland and Serbia

God bless MRI..

Iwobi and Nwakali

Bolowolowo:
Morata out...no surprise

Wait Which kine list be this one?


I'm not after popular names but what is this?


Is that the same Pepe Reina of former Liverpool fame?


Are these euro guys taking all these kinda list so Nigeria wins the World Cup?

Abeg, any stadium in Nigeria with LED perimeter advertising?

Deji with his cup medal..

TheSuperNerd:
We saw France's left-at-home-XI .. Now look at Spain's...

Alonso is the only one that's been cheated. The rest deserve the drop. Morata played second fiddle to Giroud after he crossed over.

Yea dere shld be one in Okokomaiko b4 u get ijaniki in lagos

OMANBALA1:

So, being black is a negative thing ?

was it not obvious she was joking

OMANBALA1:
Biko, why cant we drop Ahmed Musa, or is it one of those federal character thing? Do we really need Ahmed Musa ?

More untouchable to me that others. Besides its his Russia now. He and Brian.

we won't pass through that group

We don't have the squad yet

Martz101:


I had to check the moniker saying this, bros really,7 defenders?? or maybe you dont have plans of making it far in the worldcup.

each position should have atleast 2 players and the goal keeper taking and added spot, remember injuries because they have lesstime to rest between games and even after a long season not forgeting cards too

All positions must not have back ups.

Certain players can play more than one position.

Argentina is a team that expect to go very far in the tournament yet dey listed only 6 defenders.

Pepe Reina had a great season with napoli, keepers don't have much issue with age

Oga Police you no see when people were discussing America, White or Black husband/wife and other marriage/love issues all through the weekend . You no talk.

At least the oldies talk is directly related to football. Abeg, if u don't like the topic then raise one and let's discuss mbok.

It's natural na. Season don end. We are just generally robbing minds before action kicks us. Talking about this memories is just a way of whetting our appetites. I'm sure alot of people enjoyed it yesterday. I did immensely. DaveP reminded me of lighthouse song and the song has been playing in my heart since morning.

That tiki take Mehn... these guys played beautiful football then. they were good. except defensive discipline.. That has always been our shortcoming till date. (in pastor's fiery voice) that group stage table will be a repitition at Russia 2018 by faya. Never again will we be 3rd or 4th after 2games.... limamasingua

mascherano plays in the defence for them now so it's 7, moreover are we Argentina, who says Argentina is doing the right thing, why not use France or Brazil as a model

Sainty92:
So Argentina had the luxury to drop Mauro Icardi from final 23man squad.... Hmmm

Argentina's World Cup squad:
Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero (Manchester United), Willy
Caballero (Manchester City), Franco Armani (River Plate).
Defenders: Gabriel Mercado (Sevilla), Cristian Ansaldi
(Torino), Nicolas Otamendi (Man City), Federico Fazio
(Roma), Marcos Rojo (Man United), Nicolas Tagliafico
(Ajax), Marcos Acuna (Sporting), Eduardo Salvio
(Benfica).
Midfielders: Javier Mascherano (Hebei), Lucas Biglia
(Milan), Ever Banega (Sevilla), Giovani Lo Celso (PSG),
Manuel Lanzini (West Ham), Angel Di Maria (PSG), Maxi
Meza (Independiente).
Forwards: Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Paulo Dybala
(Juventus), Sergio Aguero (Man City), Gonzalo Higuain
(Juventus), Cristian Pavon (Boca Juniors).

That defence cannot stop our team from seeing the back of the net at least twice. they can't.

Yeah I know. I'm just like his time has passed. But all the same!


I have a string feeling Ajiboye will cause Akpeyi to be dropped. Ezenwa is also not that secure.

Mujtahida:

No mind am ooo. Mine wasn't cable television. It was on NTA. And like I said they were current even though it wasn't live matches.

Nta was showing english league from way back in 1983. I still remember the theme song wella.... even though it wasnt live as you said.

tbaba1234:
Picture after first training:

Lokosa, Iwobi, Ezenwa, Ekong, Elderson, Onazi and Aina in camp.

Elderson looking kinda fit and hale.

Ajiboye will only go to world cup if one of the three keepers is injured

Argentina are not us and we are not them, why didnt you use other team like brazil and France, moreover Argentina are going with 7 defenders, mascherano plays there for them of recent

safarigirl:
Meanwhile, this Lokosa boy black o....at least Etebo go see who e better pass .


As for Iwobi's dad following him, that one dey, na so some people papa dey follow them come University. Iwobi has proven himself incapable of making sound decisions when he is left to his own antics, so, make him papa hold him hand very well as much as he can.

Lol @Etebo.


Iwobi is passing a message I don't like with the presence of his dad.


That his new babe should start doing some talks to his skull.

tbaba1234:
God bless MRI..
Iwobi and Nwakali

The future

safarigirl:
na you sabi, I follow you talk?

Is there a rule that say you cant be questioned ?

goldfish80:
Unai Emery to coach Iwobi next season. Press conference to follow in the coming days.
Interesting choice by Arsenal, I must admit.

Youre kidding me. Emery as Gunners new boss?

daveP:

A point man and direct football tactics will help us more in this match, there defense look average

MetalJigsaw:
Others no dey ball ba?

Joel Obi is better baller. Wait for the next friendly and see him again.

neezar:
we won't pass through that group
We don't have the squad yet

can you push yourself aside please... you have been noticed... thanks

OMANBALA1:
And whoever thinks Rohr will drop Joel Obi need to think again. That guy is very disciplined ,hardly loses any ball,he grows with the game and can be very influential in the game.

I can give you three good reasons why Joel Obi might b dropped.
1) He is injury prone.. no sensible coach will take an injury prone player to the world cup without proper assessment of his fitness level
2) He isn't a regular in the team.. I dare say even Mikel Agu is ahead of him currently.. When he was injury free and in form after Rohr was appointed, was he invited?
3) He hasn't done anything extraordinary better than our current midfielders in the GWG . club and national team are different.. in the two games Joel played in March,he did nothing special despite all the hype his fans gave him...


so don't rule out the possibility of him being dropped yet
