Bia Sir Joebie... How about Nigeria's left-at-home XI (the remix) having only English-bred/born Nigerian talents... We will call it the 100% Anglo-Nigerian version.

komekn:



Don't think that's an option he simply is not a center forward see bold.

We most definitely need another CF and although Simy is not exceptional under the circumstances he is one of our better options as it stands.

Yes I'm in support for simmy to be in the worldcup, but you and i know that if Ighalo is injured and one person is to replace him that person will be iheanacho even if simi is there.

Who told you guys iheanacho is not a center forward, he played there for man city and scored many goals, he has more goals than ighalo playing that same position in super eagles.

Because you guys watched him in under17 worldcup does not change the fact that ge plays that position now.

If iheanacho is not a striker, not a winger then what is he goalkeeper?

Harry Kane Named England World Cup Captain
May 22, 2018 9:41 am

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has been named captain of the England team to this year’s FIFA World Cup.
Gareth Southgate made the announcement on Tuesday.

Speaking on Kane’s choice, Southgate said: “He is a meticulous professional and one of the most important things for a captain is that they set the standard every day.

“He has belief and high standards, and it is a great message for the team to have a captain who has shown that it is possible to be one of the best in the world over a consistent period of time.

“My feeling is that over the last 18 months in the camps that he’s been with us he has shown that he has got the desire to take that into a team environment and he recognises the importance of bringing others with him.

“Of course, Harry will need the support of the other good leaders that we have got around him.

“You don’t become a top team by just having a good captain with good values because that has got to spread right throughout the group but I think he is the one who is ready to take that challenge on.”

Kane’s only major tournament appearance for England was the 2016 European Championship in France where England lost to Iceland in the round of 16.

He was second top scorer last season in the Premier League with 30 goals.
England are in Group G with Belgium, Tunisia and Panama.

Tunisia have a very good chance against this England team

Of course. He is foreign based, dude.

3-5-2 is the key against Croatia. Someone has to tell Rohr.

exactly I want Rohr to apply this formation against Croatia. We have a disciplined and physical defence, they concede a lot of goals. We should just sit at the back and wait for counter attacks against them, but sadly we are not good at counter attacks.

MetalJigsaw:
3-5-2 is the key against Croatia. Someone has to tell Rohr.

I'm not sure that will help, our strength is in our wide players iwobi,v.moses and s. moses and sacrificing one or two of them for an extra defender won't help us against a team that is our direct rival.

They have a very tall mandzukic CF and very fast winger in perisic and good and intelligent midfielders meaning in Rakitic and modric, they can choose to play any way.

So been too conscious and reducing our attack won't help us, this match is more reason why we played Poland.

Remember after Nigeria, Croatia will play Argentina, they will be eager for win and inviting them to attack us won't help us

The Nigeria national team kit as been ranked the 11th best kit in the world cup tournament.

The fact that 3-5-2 is gonna be one of our tactical formations at the mundial shows that we may indeed need four CBs and not three... And may also take 8 defenders and not 7, on the overall.

We cannot be playing three CBs at the same time in that formation without a spare on the bench. Now that is one point.

Second point is that each fullback/wingback role needs their cover. Unless you wanna go with three fullback options based on best versatility with one covering for two fullback/wingback starters? Will that be okay? It is likely but don't know if we should take the risk..

So in all this is part of why I strongly suggest we go with 8 defenders. 7 may be it eventually and it may still be good but I see Rohr taking 8 unless he shocks me there by going with 7 with a MF able to provide that 8th option in defence.

Time will tell.

No word repetition

Egbon Forgiveness gets my nod for this but he assists Sir Komekn....

Your second point has been my suggestion. And who says we can’t list Shehu as a midfielder? Shehu is probably a better DM, and can give most of the other DMs a run for their money. But if he is not the preferred DM, he can give us a good option in the bench, and that’s if Rohr favors Ebuehi

charlesemeka85:
bragging about making it to the 2nd round? anyone saying that is just for saying sake. rohr have said it couple of times that he isn't expecting much from the team at the world cup but will take each match as it goes. they may be high hopes because of the teams current form and resurgence but notwithstanding even if the team crashes out from the group rohr will continue with his job. you don't build a team in less than 2 years and expect them to do wonders in a short period of time. this current super eagles is still work in progress with a lot of positives so disengaging rohr just because the team couldn't make it pass the group stage is indirectly disbanding the team and starting afresh with a new coach who will introduce a new pattern of play and his own choice of players. this have been the norm of our football for years and have slowed the progression of our apex team.

U seem to underestimate the power of mental resilience and hunger that our boys are exhibiting presently. Dont worry.... England game will say it all how far we will go. No be june 2?

elyte89:



Boss icon4s .u c say I no reply TheGoodjoe abt his claims.


Baba talk.am like say dstv den was very cheap to acquire in pH,I doubt his claims anyway cos if any new thing comes to Nigeria, it would be more rampant in use in Lagos state first b4 any oda part in Nigeria.

I could remember back den aw we would trekk to where dey is free to air satellite dish in Lagos just to catch a glimpse of football till d time AIT came to our rescue in 99-early 2000's showing European football competitions,den later few biz minded persons established viewing centers in early 2000 with dstv,d cyber cafe too came into existence in early 2000 etc


Am sure baba TheGoodjoe fit yan say cybercafe don dey pH tey tey ;Dand ATM MACHINE WAS IN use b4 2007

Anybody wey talk say him use ATM FOR NIGERIA B4 2007 IS LYING

Actually, TheGoodJoe may be very correct because I recall there was multichoice as far back as 93. They were marketed by midlands communications in Ibadan then. I recall we watched atlanta 96 on cable. How many people now have it privately is what i would deem as open for debate.

You’ve made a very good point

Are you aware there is a contradiction in your statement.

Playing in Man City with some of the best players in the world who will make an average player seem world class.

Where does KC play for Leicester in most recent times.

If Ighalo is injured I will play Simi as a striker not KC, without comprehensive support against top defenders KC can become anonymous.

I am not suprised, the Germans are now looking to bring in much more young Athletic African origin talent into the Bundesliga.
